Just bumping into this again with people _reflexively_ using the word "grape" or a 🍇 emoji and not even realizing they're doing it. It's all part of the same system, where the men running these companies make platforms that don't even let people accurately describe the crimes that they enable.

Got to love psychometric tests slotted into an interview process that are obviously "we can't LEGALLY ask if you're neurodivergent, here's some perfectly innocent multiple choice questions."
Multiple choice question (the test had you select two out of three in order of correctness):

Which statement describes you best?

1) I hide my true feelings
2) I enjoy analysing statistical information
3) I seldom feel shy with others

Public opinion doesn't DO anything and is not correlated with policy. BUT it can be a resource if people want to organize.

Discworld QOTD, from Moving Pictures "If the abnormal goes on long enough it becomes the normal. It was just that, when you came to explain it to a third party, it sounded odd."

I watched Starman when I was a kid, and basically the only thing I remember about the movie is "yellow light means go faster".

I mean, how's that different to opera? Or something like The Planets or Pictures at an Exhibition where each section is invoking a particular image. Symphonies/concertos are definitely their own thing, but they're not the be all and end all of classical music.

For real though, almost every well-known orchestral work in the last fifty years was written for a movie, or more recently a video game, and we need to stop treating it as "lesser" art if we want people to keep going to see orchestras perform.

Sometimes I think about the movie Tár and how the protagonist's big humiliation at the end was being reduced to conducting *spits* video game music.

Creator (with likely-more-horny-than-average audience) sets healthy boundary with fans. This shouldn’t be noteworthy but for there being so, so many counter-examples.

Sushang continuing to be my favourite minor character in HSR.
Dr Ratio to Sushang: "Sushang possesses a mind that has never been cursed by knowledge. Her imagination is freer than any bird in the sky."Sushang, to Dr. Ratio. "M–Me!? Am I a bird?"

As a long time arguer on the Internet, I firmly believe we need fewer people who have a handy catalogue of logical fallacies to invoke in support of the thing they believed already.

Yeah, IIRC all the really nasty stuff he does is straight from the book, I'm just a lot more familiar with the movie (and I saw it before I read the book so my brain goes there first).

Spending $850 vibe coding to-do list apps hoping to get rich is just one notch above spending the money on lottery tickets. While execution is now “free” due to vibe coding, it also means every software category will be hyper competitive. Your AI slop app is just more noise to users.

One thing I really liked about the 60s Day of the Jackal movie was how the creators weaponised this against the audience. Just when you started to root for the competent, cool assassin, they hit you _hard_ with how flat-out evil he was (and that you'd have to be to do that job).

If attendance at a major women's conference was down 80% due to a boycott fighting against trans *inclusion*, it would be all over the Times, Telegraph, Mail etc. This last weekend, attendance at a major women's conference was down 80% due to a boycott fighting against trans *exclusion*. Crickets.
