The truth about genAI: There is no path to profitability. Never has been. Even if every current genAI sicko used it multiple times daily from now on at the highest tier, it can't pay for itself. This is why their attempts to force you to use it are so aggressive. Anything to delay the inevitable.

In honor of my 6pm screening of WHALEFALL, sing along with Odele:

🎶 This is the end.
Hold my breath and count to 10
The whale swallows me in.
Give it heartburn and then…
For this is the end
I’ve drowned and rued this moment
Trapped in this whale I’m hellbent
Escape it, I’m hopin’
Let the WHALEFALLLLL!
Will I crumble?
I will stand tall
I’ve got the gall to get out!
Let the WHALEFALLLL!
I’m not humble.
I’ll demand all
I’m gonna crawl out WHALEFALL! 🎶

missed National Coming Out Day. but came across this screenshot of the mass email i sent 12 years ago!

mass email from me when i transitioned. the body of the email reads-
"about 15 years ago i sent out a mass email stating that i had used the Troy Aikman quarterback rating system to decide that the right choice was to switch email providers from Aol to Comcast. using the same system i'm pleased to announce that the Troy Aikman quarterback ratings system has given me the clarity to go ahead and switch genders.
i'm available to anyone by phone that would like to crunch the numbers. thanks eveyrbody and sorry for the mass email! and thanks Troy Aikman!"

What a letdown. www.rogerebert.com/reviews/14th...

But this analysis is surface-level at best and leans heavily on personal experience
rather than research. Worse still, the use of Al undercuts the film, prioritizing making

history feel alive for the audience over staying focused on the task at hand. In a move
that is already making headlines, DuVernay uses generative Al to bring still images of
Black people from the Reconstruction era to life. What stands out about this odd bit
of technical manipulation is that it serves no real narrative purpose, nor does it show

respect for the unique lives captured in those images. The tastelessness of DuVernay's

decision-making here echoes the many mistakes she made with "Origin."

When Dems talk about the Ilhan Omar situation, they need to stop using language that implies that Omar might have done anything wrong. Trump is not "investigating" Omar. They are trying to denaturalize and deport a sitting Congressmember by scrutinizing decades old paperwork from when she was a kid

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

There is absolutely no viable path forward for this country that doesn’t hinge on extreme accountability for everyone involved in this administration. They’re going to whine about politicization and credulous media types will echo them, but the thing is, they’ve committed tons of obvious crimes!

Putting the critical reaction aside… the studio CAN'T have thought it would actually be a blockbuster, right? I feel like the best case for a an idiosyncratic swing like that is Killers of the Flower Moon or One Battle, both of which *still* flopped purely on a box-office-compared-to-budget basis.
