the good thing about Bluesky is that every time I log on I see something that so profoundly disturbs me that I immediately have to log off and go to yoga/watch a movie/read a book/pull some tarot

Need a cigarette after reading @deliacai.bsky.social's ant-AI screed in today’s Deez Links www.deezlinks.com/p/the-ai-cla...

Besides, I maintain that it is the distinct purview of writers and artists and actual non-baseball-cap-enabled thinkers to get our dunks in where we can, in the beautiful city of New York and larger project of America wherein cultural capital is still not something that can be entirely bought and stripped for parts yet; thus being able to categorically reject an AI company’s attempt to be “cool” and “community-minded” is probably the closest thing to artistic freedom we will have in this decade. So let me reiterate, actually, that I think this shit is so fucking dorky, and anyone who is excited about the “aesthetics” of an AI company reveals a soul so malnourished from lack of exposure to basic facts of experience, sensation, context and yes, TASTE, that a semblance of a gesture toward meaning activates some kind of rhapsodic trip-wire within. Oh my sweet children. I can’t believe you think that’s beauty.

Whoever wrote this (I’m not bothering to click) knows nothing about the Oscars/the Academy. The largest voting body in the Academy is actors. SAG has already put out a statement against this. Why would HUMAN ACTORS vote for this monstrosity?

Tilly Norwood raises the question of who will be the first to win an Oscar for best AI in a leading role

Tilly Norwood Is Expensive, Even for Hollywood

The “synthetic actress” may be cheaper to cast than Leonardo DiCaprio, but AI’s footprint carries major economic and environmental costs.

THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE is really quite tremendous. More initial thoughts here: boxd.it/bdO0eR

A review of The Testament of Ann Lee (2025)

Tremendous, and a true feminine companion piece to The Brutalist, not just in its female protagonist, but in the movement, music, and meditative rhythms that Mona Fastvold unspools on screen. Yet both...

okay… maybe INHERENT VICE, PTA’s other Pynchon adaptation (on Prime Video), or HOW TO BLOW UP A PIPELINE (on Hulu), if you want more lefty revolutionary vibe.

Without further ado, here is the trailer for Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile.

Against all odds, it will air in select theatres on October 2nd, along with the theatrical debut of Sex House.

Tickets go on sale tomorrow.

And, yes, this is real.
