“British Bake-off” has been on the air for like 15 years and it sounds like they’re still using all the music composed for season 1.

OVER A MILLION USERS

DISCUSS SUICIDE WITH CHATGPT

EVERY *WEEK*

what the fuck are we DOING here
Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.
I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

Sean Dunn, aka DC Sandwich Guy, speaks outside court after his not guilty verdict:

“I am so happy that justice prevails in spite of everything….

“That night I believe I was protecting the rights of immigrants…

Every life matters, no matter where you came from, no matter how you got here…”

This movie also had a thorough recreation of the Tammany machine in the form of a mustelid named “Honest John” complete with the dead vote counting and immigrant block voting.
It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

In my head I can hear the clients on Zoom pointing out each truck and calling out how they're constantly off-model, and if it were a real ad they'd send it back to the vendor to redo, but apparently all the copywriters and creative leads who usually make these calls are muzzled on this one?
Coca-Cola's annual Christmas commercial is AI-generated again

The company used even fewer people to make it this year

“We need to keep moving forward and pushing the envelope … The genie is out of the bottle, and you’re not going to put it back in"

Hollywood in 1946: Rita Hayworth is livid when she finds out she's been painted on the side of an atom bomb (for the Bikini Atoll tests) and her husband Orson Welles has to talk her down because her first instinct is that it's all a publicity stunt by Harry Cohn:

My dad once hosted a fundraiser for a Minnesota House rep that Hubert Humphrey attended (I have some nice pictures of them hanging out in our basement rec room) and so I can pretty much connect myself to anyone in Democratic politics and entertainment from 1940 to 1980 in 3.
I can get to CALVIN COOLIDGE in three hops, and I only thought about this for about 30 seconds.
Off the top of my head, in terms of degrees of separation I managed to get from myself to *Jimi Hendrix* in "three hops," this is a WILD assertion to make

On the eve of the Dodgers winning the World Series 😉, LA Councilmember Eunisses Hernandez introduced a resolution urging Metro to officially reject the Dodger Stadium gondola project.

It's signed by representatives of CD1, CD14, and CD13, all districts directly impacted by Dodger Stadium traffic

The DVD (1996) is now as old as the original 8-inch floppy disk (1967) was when the DVD came out.

Your chilly sneer
Of cold command
Your trunkless legs
Upon the sand
Once awed the Persian, Turk,
And Damascene

A pedastal
Beside your smirk
Proclaims “Look up,
You lazy jerk!
Behold the mighty work
Of great
Jolene.”
i never saw two trunkless legs
i never hope to see 'em
but i can tell you, anyhow,
i'd rather see than be 'em
Now Ozymandias was from the Himalayas, where a cold wind howls and blows.
Why he left his home in the peaks to roam 'round the sands, God only knows.
His statue fell down, the desert's boundless and completely bare;
Though it's still scrawled on his pedestal that "ye Mighty should despair!"

people might disagree about how good Battlestar Galactica (2003) ended up but it has defined how you shoot a space battle for twenty years, and that's cool
