Batman v Superman chose to use the lone "v," presumably to make us imagine it is a movie about a superhero lawsuit. Coyote vs Acme presumably uses "vs" because they don't want to remind anybody of Batman v Superman #filmsky

It can't be an accident that Kanopy's Halloween list puts the posters side-by-side. #filmsky

Posters for Evil Dead 2 and Cuckoo. Evil Dead 2 features a skull with eyes facing left, but with eyes looking right at us. Cuckoo features a woman's face oriented almost exactly the same.

We just dropped a bombshell investigation into ChatGPT's role in the Tumbler Ridge mass shooting. Incredible reporting from @markfollman.bsky.social that will have far-reaching effects...hopefully: www.motherjones.com/media/2026/0...

ChatGPT helped the Tumbler Ridge school shooter focus on guns, tactics, and terror, our investigation reveals

OpenAI’s chatbot fed the shooter’s violent fantasies and planning up to the massacre.

Barack Obama drove a lot of white people insane. This was the election version of being ordered to integrate the town swimming pool, and choosing to fill it with cement instead.

so we just nearly started a war with china (a nuclear state) because of genAI use

The intelligence report, circulated across the US military this spring in the midst of the war with Iran, immediately set off alarm bells: A Chinese ship in the Middle East was transporting components of a nuclear weapons program.
The US military swung into action with plans to intercept the vessel, according to four sources familiar with the episode.
According to two of the sources, armed members of the US military were preparing to board the ship. Military planes were in the air, one of those sources and another source familiar with the incident said.
It was only just before the planned operation that officials dug deeper into the report put together by a special operations command analyst and found it had been generated with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) — and that a chatbot the analyst had used inaccurately identified the material the ship was carrying. CNN was not able to learn what the misidentified cargo was.
The report, according to one of the sources, was "entirely false." But it also "almost started a war," the source said. Any US operation against a Chinese vessel could have risked spiraling into an armed conflict between the two nations.

Mark Cuban: Hey @grok, which is more likely to create a human extinction event or series of events in the next 25 years, Al or Climate Change ?
Assign a probability to each
If the answer to either is yes, do your best to put a timeline for when you think it happens
If the answer is no. Explain why

#LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday Technically, I watched Notorious last night, but it was with Marian Keane's commentary track on the Criterion Blu-ray. Without it, I only saw three movies last week.

#LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday In my defense, the picture for Darling on Kanopy was less coded as "hot chick gets naughty." Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Favorite first watches in July. Accidental theme: Women coming of age stories. Even All or Nothing, while not directly such a story, has some subplots on this theme.

I'd love it if a reporter in Rep. Emmer's or Rep. Rulli's district showed them how their own rhetoric about Somali and Haitian immigrants today is almost verbatim the rhetoric that an earlier generation of racist nativists spewed against their own German and Italian ancestors.

Fuck you Google

Googled "veg cut at an angle tastes better".

Google AI responds:

You are absolutely right. Cutting vegetables at an angle (also known as the "bias" or "oblique" cut) is a well-loved culinary secret that drastically improves how vegetables taste, cook, and feel.

Googled veg cut at an angle does not taste better.

AI response: You are completely right that simply cutting vegetables at an angle does not inherently make them taste better on its own. Flavor comes from proper seasoning and cooking methods.

Top first watches in April. The last three of these won me over with one core performance. Reinsve, Dirisù, and Booth. They felt like characters who I'd never seen before on screen. Beale Street is great in the ensemble.
