Went to see Resident Evil on ScreenX and the two side walls were playing Moana while the main screen played Resident Evil. A truly unhinged viewing experience.

Did Jane Schoenbrun read my book? Probably not, but I died laughing when Hannah Einbinder’s character in Camp Miasma says she did a movie about Psycho from the shower curtain’s perspective, because that’s pretty much the final chapter (“shower curtain”) of the book. www.amazon.com/Household-Ho...

"Say goodbye to all of this... and hello to oblivion!" 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' made its debut in UK cinemas on this day in 1975.
The "Distracted Boyfriend" meme, but the boyfriend is now Brad Majors from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" (1975). The object of his attention is Dr. Frank N. Furter, who, I'm led to believe, is just a sweet transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania. Brad's girlfriend, Janet Weiss, doesn't look too happy with Brad, but I reckon she'd quite like a go on Frank herself.

1. The new Trump / Kratsios plan for US science appears explicitly designed to destroy US universities. Diverting money to tech donors is probably just a bonus. Gift link.

Trump’s Plan for Science: More Money for A.I., Less for Universities (Gift Article)
Michael Kratsios, President Trump’s science adviser, proposed overhauling how the government funds research. Democrats said Mr. Trump’s actions had weakened science.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

They're still going around, so it's worth mentioning that photographers are careful with their shots to make their numbers seem greater, because it makes for better content. If they showed them all in one shot, you'd realize there were more Aussies rioting in that Walmart than Patriot Front in D.C.

It's one thing to be a rando with an opinion. Its another for the SecDef to give those opinions a platform at the Pentagon and stream it on its internal TV network.
"During a 15-minute sermon in the Pentagon’s auditorium and broadcast live on the department’s internal TV network, Douglas Wilson delivered a sermon sprinkled with military-themed jokes about putting Jesus Christ first and what Jesus can accomplish through believers."

Got an email from my library about a new AI assistant on the main floor, so I left them a comment asking them to get rid of it.
A segment of an email from my local library announcing their new AI assistant at every library.A red suggestion card from ly local library that I filled out in response to the new AI chatbot on the main floor. It reads as follows;  Generative AI provides very little, if any, benefit to society while sucking up all of our water, poisioning communities with atmospheric, water, & sound pollution, and damaging human brains, All while operating on theft of human art & writing. Please get rid of the new AI bot on the main floor.

Calling all the PhDs I know to make monumental annoyances of themselves (and honestly, who better)
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang doesn't want "well-respected people" like PhDs and CEOs to criticize AI, especially in front of governments.

He labeled concerns about the AI technology a "doomer narrative": https://80.lv/articles/nvidia-ceo-doesn-t-want-well-respected-people-to-criticize-ai

The screenshot includes a color photo of Jensen Huang wearing his typical leather jacket. He is an Asian man, with glasses and silver hair. His overall affect is smug.
