I guess that the best argument, for me, against AI is that everyone advocating it seems to be a psychopath.

Favorite movie that came out when I was 20 (contemporaneously, at least. I’d also consider Dazed & Confused, but I probably saw that a year later)

So, here's the story of my too-brief encounter with the late, great Dolly Parton. In 2005, I was writing entertainment news for the Amarillo Globe-News. (1/9)

It's so weird that Dolly Parton used her money to help ordinary people in a thousand different meaningful ways *and* lived an incredibly happy fulfilled life, almost like there's some sort of connection between the two. Anyway, let me read about another AI CEO poisoning a town for shits and giggles

Oh, Dolly. 😢 I’ll never forget the way you giggled my name when I did a phone interview with you. More importantly, I’ll never forget the brilliant music you brought to the world, nor the loving, giving spirit you shared. I’m just heartbroken. youtu.be/pW2TgGy5gjY?...

Journalism is a public good. It needs to be publicly funded, for the same reasons that health care needs to be publicly funded. The privatization of public information has created a true crisis. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/paying-for...

I suppose I can appreciate the efforts of people who will post lengthy essays on the subjects of why/how Helen of Troy or Maria Von Trapp could possibly, historically and authentically, be black; I'm happier to stop at "It's a movie"/"It's a musical." 🤷🏻‍♂️

Be sure to use Al when making your next, I don't know, meal plan, for example. Definitely do not call your friend who loves to cook and ask her for her favorite recipes or tips or ways to save time making meals, because you will end
up talking for longer than you had hoped, hearing, perhaps, about her father's cancer diagnosis or how lonely she's been or even what she's planted in her spring garden and then lost with the early frost.

As an English major, I could convincingly claim that William Faulkner was my favorite author and could ace all tests and essays about his works while only having ever finished one of his novels (“The Sound and the Fury,” somehow). Who needs AI?

RIP Rex Reed and many many deep abiding thanks for writing a review of the Broadway production of The Wiz that always prompts such great discussion when I teach the film
Rex Reed on The Wiz
(1975)
"Next to bombing the White House, I can't imagine a better way to start a race war than to denigrate The Wizard of Oz and everything it stands for in the minds and hearts of children of all ages. Descendants of L. Frank Baum, creator of the Oz stories should sue. Judy Garland fans should picket the theater where this monstrosity is playing...How dare they demolish the greatest American fairy tale. Garbage is garbage, no matter what color it is, and this all-black sacrilege is at the top of the rubbish pile."

This. I can’t imagine that anyone who watched “Finding Neverland” or has paid the slightest bit of attention to [waving hands.gif] everything could have any interest in watching this disgusting money-grab. And any movie critic who doesn’t address the Jesus Juice in the room should be ashamed.

Liza Minnelli turns 80 years old today. Happy birthday to the ultimate trouper. I hope she spends it basking in the glow of how much she is loved. 📷 Terry O'Neill, 1974
Liza Minnelli relaxes with a cigarette and a glass of champagne (uncorked bottle on table) during an interview for the one-woman show Liza, which ran for three sold-out weeks on Broadway in 1974. She has on enormous sunglasses (inside), a long and jaunty scarf knotted around her neck, and a statement bracelet by Elsa Peretti on each arm.
