Just read a description of The Social Reckoning as “a standalone sequel,” because words mean nothing anymore.

I just saw that Sydney Sweeney betting app commercial everyone was talking about, and I think the nudity angle has overshadowed the fact that she’s required to say the words: “No betting on wars or deaths or politics!” That is one apocalyptic ad read, no matter who says it or what they’re wearing.

It’s hard to think of this as newsworthy when it’s always the same 2-3 Disney-owned franchise films passing the torch back and forth every time there’s a re-release.

More than ever, the funniest thing you could do with a time machine is go back to 1996 and tell someone that in thirty years the most enduring artistic achievement of Chris Rock's career will be getting slapped by Will Smith

New article on why AI has thus far been a complete disaster -- and why things will probably get much worse. I mean, AI hallucinations almost started a war with China last spring. This is serious -- a code red. Read and share, if you feel so inclined: www.realtimetechpocalypse.com/p/ai-almost-...

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

The kids these days will hardly believe it, but a mere two years ago, the mental & physical (lack of) acuity of Elderly Presidents was the Great Issue of Our Time. Someone should tell Jake Tapper & Alex Thompson, so they can write a book on it.

I do think, however, that in a year where THE ODYSSEY made over a billion dollars and OBSESSION, BACKROOMS, IRON LUNG and AMAZING DIGITAL CIRCUS rewrote the whole playbook on what audiences are excited to see in theaters, there's a good chance that DIGGER's financial failure won't ruin everything.

We do not live in a perfect world, and may not see one in our lifetime. But it definitely doesn't get easier to make one by prioritising a vengeful, carceral mindset over valuing the dignity of survivors, the humanity of those in structural need, and the constant improvement of systems of justice.

one thing about the AI in schools discourse is that while I think it's quite correct to assume it will be used to screw poor people out of a good education, the assumption that rich people won't hollow out their own kids' educations with expensive/exclusive versions of the same thing does not follow

As for moi, I don't want my shoes to read me a book. "making reading a high-status lifestyle statement on the pavement" is not how I want to experience reading. Did nobody in the marketing department point out that children outgrow their shoes? This product is designed to become electronic trash.
