Sometimes it really does feel like we're watching the end of Hollywood. Not even "as we know it" but the end. It's going to be three companies all trying to do everything they can to work creatives to the bone and fuck us out of money while pumping out IP slop.

Catastrophe is right. Settling like this is also saying "Yes, we think it's antitrust, but if you pay enough we'll let you do it anyway."

In case you were curious, here’s the transcript for Emilia Clarke’s #HighValyrian speech at the #Emmys. I received the request two days prior, so she really only had a day to work on it. #conlang Jemme ilagon rīgles ezīmītsōs issa— "It is an honor and a privilege to be amongst you all—“

of the many things to love about Tim Curry and Dolly Parton, here's one: It's as if every time they heard someone say, "you're going too big," they went BIGGER. Big presence, big hair, big charisma, big everything. Pouring one out for two artists who just WENT FOR IT and never apologized for that.

I searched "fish" on my phone and got mostly not fish, but a few successes! This was the funniest one
4 panel meme
1: moray eel: "Hey eagle do you know why can't we team up?"
2: eagle: "no why?"
3: eel: "because it would be eel-eagle!"

Meta now lets anyone use your Instagram photos in AI images without your consent. SAG-AFTRA recommends that #SagAftraMembers (and all Instagram users) opt-OUT of Meta’s new AI image generation tool, Muse Image. Take action to protect your likeness.
If you want to avoid AI generations of your Instagram posts without switching your account to private, you’ll have to dig into the app’s settings. Open the Instagram app, tap your profile, and then tap the three lines in the top-right corner of the screen. Then, scroll down to the Sharing and reuse tab. Here is where you should see a section labeled Allow people to use your content on Instagram and with AI features on Meta, with a toggle for Posts and one for Reels.

Today’s #Valyrian glyph is lōta “solid”. This glyph may look familiar as it’s essentially an inverted <s>. It actually represents a tripod, which is a solid/stable structure. #conlang #language #hotd #houseofthedragon #asoiaf
