Awful. It's been altered in so many ways beyond "colourisation". The kid has an entirely different face! AI is being used in so many ways to undermine history, information, even reality.

Larry "schlockmeister" Buchanan directs, writes and edits THE NAKED WITCH (1961)!

Your deadicated hosts aren't sure what to make of this exploitation flick, but they can at least agree it's an interesting artifact of early American folk horror!

This week, we watch a film that brings anxieties of nuclear war and teen gangs together in THE DAMNED (1961, Losey)! Hammer Horror tries to make their own VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED, unfortunately while relying on a director and writer more interested in philosophical ideas...

"It’s a beast. A monster. A behemoth. But it’s a behemoth of the very best kind. It’s a CR 30 epic boss of a book with a treasure hoard of inspiration. I don’t know what you expected from Keith Ammann, but it was probably this."

History teaches us that it is totally fine and good not to pay your troops!

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

You ain't kidding, holy shit!

We're very excited about this one.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

I know this is a joke post, but back in the day I did play the Ezio trilogy in Italian with English subs because I thought it was cool they gave you the option!

This is the core of the issue.

People want a platform to say provocative, poorly thought out nonsense, and then act shocked that people are provoked to tell them they’re spouting poorly thought out nonsense.

Red states sending troops to blue states is a really bad idea.

Also, the expectation that comics be printed on bright white, shiny paper is another barrier to entry. I miss black and white comics printed on 50# uncoated offset paper.

The expectation in the U.S. that comics be in color raises the barrier to entry for creators and also has been to the detriment of artists’ cultivation of black-and-white comics art technique.

When I turned 30 I had not yet written my first published book or my first published novel and did not know (or know of) some of the most important people in my life. I didn't know how much my life could still change, and did, after the age of 30. There is so much your life still yet to live.

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

Witness video shows federal agents throwing tear gas canisters in the middle of Armitage Ave today as they appear to be blocked in and heckled by angry neighbors.

This is around the 3500 block of West Armitage.

I'm about to get in trroouuuble: If you're in law enforcement and want to not be thought of as the Nazi that you are, it's time to get out. Periodt. There's no "it's mostly good guys..." This? This stench is on all of you. Bc I know, and was proven today by the ISP, that you're all complicit.

The "AI" responses that Google gives about me and my work are consistently error-prone, which I know because I am me. If I know Google's "AI" responses give incorrect answers about things I know about, I can't trust it to give correct answers about things I don't know. So, no, I don't use it.
