The Woke are coming off a down season but the core remains intact and they've called up some young talent. Advanced metrics suggest their stars were underperforming their peripherals for much of the summer. Expect contention as early as next season if they sign some high heat relief over the winter

in humanoid robot movies the dilemma is always "the robot is programmed to perform humanity's grimmest tasks, but cannot love or be loved and will never feel the joy of holding a baby in its arms" but tech bros are like "great news, I just coded BabyHoldr 4.1 so I don't have to hold my baby anymore"

We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

In spite of being of the correct generation to have grown up while "Peanuts" was still in active publication, it's always a little surreal to be reminded that the most popular comic strip in the English-speaking world for fifty solid years was about an eight-year-old with clinical depression.

O...
In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

I will never forget all the cynical gainsaying and disinformation about the strike on Al-Ahli hospital ten days into Israel’s destruction of Gaza. ‘Fog of war’. Almost three years later, fewer than half of Gaza’s hospitals remain even partially functional and there is no fog. Only dust and rubble.

Pattinson is on a generational run right that will be studied by future film nerds. His Chris Hansen is reptilian. Thematically, you can draw a straight line from the satire of NETWORK, to Gyllenhaal in NIGHTCRAWLER, to this. They make for an unholy trinity of modern media.

The thing about trying to appeal to right wing bigots is that right wing bigots are all stupid idiots who get 100% of their news from propagandists so they will never actually find out that you were trying to appeal to them in the first place
