The guy in the article who is like, he couldn’t have done it, the police cleared him. Yes, the LAPD, who always get their man.
amazing work of course but it’s always like “the victim’s murder-crazed ex-boyfriend was cleared by police after he said he definitely didn’t do it” and then he looks like this

Regarding Reiner, I have known a lot of musicians and been in bands myself. I can’t overstate the importance of This Is Spinal Tap in adjusting the self-importance of musicians. Everyone knows the movie, everyone has identified Spinal Tap moments, everyone is humbler and funnier as a result.

I Sat Down to Dinner With Rob, Michele and Nick Reiner. It Was Heartwarming and Jarring.
With the son suspected of murdering his parents, recalling an hours-long session at a Toronto restaurant 10 years ago and the light it sheds on a dark dynamic.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

My wife has been HIV+ for 34 years. She’s alive today b/c work of activists who destigmatized the virus, pushed medical science to adapt & find ways to treat it, & advocated for gov health programs that helped fund her care. The current U.S. regime may want to go back in time, but we won’t let them.

Streamins service UI is increasingly bad deliberately. It's dark UX patterning as access to show catalogues narrows.
If you let the user search, they will look for shows you no longer have (or never had).
The goal is to hijack that journey and force a show they'll feel is 'okay' in front of them.

is there a reason why every single paid streaming service UI has only gotten incredibly worse and less usable over time

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.
