At some point enough idiots decided “accessibility” meant “to dumb something down aggressively” and we’ve now wasted too much of our time because of it

Part of the problem with these debates is that as of right now, LLMs/Gen AI models and the typical tools built around them aren't by themselves capable of creating interesting art. They're still too limited to do anything at scale BY ITSELF.

I feel this all the time on YouTube. I know there's great content (an endless amount, more than consumable in one lifetime) but the decision paralysis is real. Wasted hours watching one minute of this, 2 minutes of that. I loved the feeling of buying an album or DVD and bringing that home to watch.

I hope this never happens, but one not crazy scenario is if this keeps on happening, someone is gonna shoot a real fed/ICE guy because they thought it was a criminal and then get acquitted on self defense by the jury. Only then might ICE actually change their whole absurd thuggish attitude

My worry is less about some ironclad autocracy taking hold in the US. I'm more worried about something like "The Troubles" taking hold over a generation and EVERYONE loses and suffers. Including the thugs. They just don't have the mental capacity to think about consequences and future regret.

When I explain that boycotting an election over an issue has never once forced a politician to embrace that issue, I'm not "scolding people to vote." I'm explaining reality. Feel free to sit on your ass! Just don't pretend that your lazy apathy is somehow going to advance your agenda.

Ah yes. All the journalists at my former employer apparently go around introducing their dad’s cousin to everyone as “my first cousin once removed Lydia” rather than “Auntie so-and-so”. What a farce of journalism.

What pushback? An “aunt” who’s a cousin of his dad? How is this a flub or a lie? I can’t believe my former employer is now amplifying crap like this.

There’s 1,000 times more chatter about the Maine senate race in a year than about Maine’s ballot measure in 3 weeks that’d bring voter ID and crack down on mail voting… maybe let’s start there??? boltsmag.org/maine-questi...

A Ballot Measure Targets Mail Voting in Maine - Bolts

Question 1, on the November ballot, would set up a barrage of new restrictions on absentee ballots that would considerably affect older voters and people with disabilities.

Whoever did the data "analysis" and #dataViz for this piece should be embarrassed. This is beyond naive empiricism; it's wrong in so many ways that it'd take an entire article to explain them. I have better things to do, but this type of intellectually vacuous nonsense must be debunked.

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

For 26 but especially 2028 it's time for Democrats to make clear that the current Supreme Court will have to be reformed (expanded in number, reformed in structure) to allow popular govt to continue in the United States. Not so much a litmus test as precondition for any other promise to be credible.

Wondering if Zaslav starts getting nervous too if too many people start unsub-ing from HBO Max too, since they recently started optionally bundling with Disney, even though it's a partnership and not something owned by Disney. But people don't know/care/think. Does WBD become collateral damage?

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree.
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich.
Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.
