Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

And this is when Disney needs to tell Sinclair, "That's cool. You just can't have any sports, either." See how they choke that shit down.

Vulture @vulture.com · 15d

If you have a Sinclair affiliate station, sorry, but they’re still not going to air ’ Jimmy Kimmel Live!’. Despite his return to ABC Tuesday night, Sinclair decided they will air something else instead of playing the late night show.

It physically nauseates me to see trade reporters cover the potential Paramount-Warner merger as mere asset shuffling and not a fucking death knell for this industry. It's absolutely maddening to see short sighted, hateful ghouls sell off the thing you built your life around for parts.

I got to the Rose Bowl three hours before doors opened to make sure I got up front. In all, I was on my feet for ten hours straight, no bathroom breaks, no food. Worth it.
