This is an almost shockingly wise essay. I'm glad I've finally read it.

I love SCROOGED. Bill Murray’s Frank Cross is a media age asshole archetype that still resonates, & it has one of the absolute best finales in cinema. Great performances, solid Richard Donner direction, Danny Elfman score, & prime Murray. The comedy snaps, yet the sentiment lands. And Karen Allen!

Nightshade: Protecting Copyright
Since their arrival, generative AI models and their trainers have demonstrated their ability to download any online content for model training. For content owners and creators, few tools can prevent their content from being fed into a generative AI model against their will. Opt-out lists have been disregarded by model trainers in the past, and can be easily ignored with zero consequences. They are unverifiable and unenforceable, and those who violate opt-out lists and do-not-scrape directives can not be identified with high confidence.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.
