Remember: what Trump and his administration are doing is only possible because Congress and the Supreme Court have abdicated their proper constitutional functions of check and balance.

Too many train journeys this week - so, increasingly angry about the endless audio spam that makes it easy to miss the actual useful information about eg which fucking train has just been cancelled

Apart from anything else, the way Elmo etc pivot from ‘this is my brilliant product I made because I am a genius’ to ‘eh, my errant robot baby killed or hurt someone why is that my fault?’ should be a massive alarm bell about how much responsibility they are not going to take

genAI is the devil. It's the enemy of art.
If you use it in ANY part of your process, not only do you fuck over the environment, and fuck over your fellow artists, you are cheating yourself of everything that makes art worth doing.

Talking to one of these types at a con who asked how I 'got in' with so many 'famous writers' who I'd been talking to and I said "we made friends before anyone knew who we were decades ago by striking up interesting conversations and enjoying each other's company" and he kept re-asking the question.
They have come to the convention hoping to "break in" and then find themselves -- shocker! -- a "nobody in the book world." Yeah no shit! We all are! I have gently told guys like this a million times that it takes most of us *years* of hard work but they do not believe that could be true for them. +

Oh god, this absolutely needs to happen!
Its already a joy of a film, but clearly there’s a better version to be had
And as general audiences are more nerd-literate now, I feel like a rerelease could do really well
