I hate AI with a fiery passion and I resent all these companies attempting to push it down our throats. But you have to admire on some level their ability to create products that literally no one wants. It’s an incredible commitment to failure.

I can’t

Email I got from Carvana that says “Shaq’s AI twin wants to talk cars with you!” There’s a picture of Shaq smiling in front of his computer with text that says “Chat with Shaq’s A.I. Twin.”

I got a massage like a fancy lad. At one point I heard the masseuse say under her breath "ugh" when first touching my right shoulder blade.

I'd just like to report that @oldtobegin.bsky.social and I have disabled all the motion smoothing we have run into on this trip.

It's very fairytale-y and has a kid that's a main part of the story. I dunno about you, but when I was a kid watching all this stuff way too young, if there was a kid I was usually way into it (Phantasm, Silver Bullet, The Gate, Lost Boys, etc for me)

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Best horror movie of the 90s.

Always feels weird when the antagonist of a horror movie uses a gun as their main weapon.

The acting school of Bruce Campbell is referenced more than once.

Wes Craven's The People Under the Stairs is an interesting one.
