At least we don’t live in a world of staggering class disparity in which a tech magnate attempts to quash left-wing sentiment using sexualized artificial intelligence!

Tho I moved all of my LJ stuff out & deleted my account years ago when I first moved to Dreamwidth, this info is important.
Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated: If you have an old #LiveJournal account, and it has things you still care about in it, download it or import it to Dreamwidth SOON. Details:

A reminder for 2026:
in a time where internet algorithms are being trained on anger, & politicians & media outlets are learning how to capitalise on fear & hatred, the most radical thing you can do in public is SHARE MOMENTS OF JOY.
Share what you love as much as possible. Let gratitude be fire.

I know it's a petty complaint, but I get so annoyed when I'm watching a documentary or a docuseries & they're doing the "montage to establish the year" thing... and they use a song that came out like 5 years later than the year in question.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Just a few days until the new year begins and movie releases suddenly collapse into the official two genres of January: “Horror” and “Whoops”.

Most of the people in this scene would be unable to enter the US under current policy. Madeleine Lebeau pretty much just crossed the border, stayed, and shot the greatest scene in history.

Finally home after a long day (which came on the heels of a long day) -- all full of good things! But I am tired ... Now attempting Camelot (1967), which I have never successfully made it through.

Do I still have too much Xmas prep to do? Yes.
Am I going to linger on the sofa as long as I possibly can anyway? Also yes.

Watching a @legaleagle.tv video about ALL'S FAIR -- which I've never heard a single thing about. I got to thinking, "wow, this is so poorly written & kind of cheap looking? HOW did they get all these NAMES?"
Then I realized: it has to be Ryan Murphy.
AND I WAS RIGHT

Yes! The future is not already settled. In fact, actual serious people (not tech bros or acolytes) are majorly calling into question every aspect of "AI" on a deep level. I compiled 18 pages worth of links to help resist "AI is inevitable" propaganda: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
