Between a new "Harry Potter" TV series and a new televised execution, December is shaping up to be a tremendous month for things that there's no legitimate justification for watching if you aren't professionally required to watch.

You know, a few weeks with an energy-limiting disease will really cure one of this kind of thought process. I have friends for whom taking a shower is genuinely a fucking banner day. I am sometimes them. The assumption of equal capacity sounds egalitarian but is often actually quite discriminatory.

People really just do not want to accept the fact that engaging with JKR's media empire and IP projects in ANY WAY—yes, that includes fanfic, unlicensed merch, your cutesy memes—isn't a 'separate art from artist' issue, it is a 'do you want to actively support a genocidal project' issue.

this is a common question and the answer is that a lot of companies actually do track piracy numbers when it comes to gauging interest in an IP so if you really want to send the message that Harry Potter is toxic: no, you should not pirate it either

When we hate on these disgusting immoral evil billionaires it’s bc just look at everything Dolly did. They could be doing that. They could just be helping people and every day they choose not to help people. They choose to harm. And when they die, we’ll dance and laugh and be thankful they’re gone.

Despite what I said earlier about the uncaring universe, I've gotten a couple bits of good news today, and I'm definitely interpreting that as Dolly sending out a huge wave of blessings to the world before she left us.

What Dolly taught us is that it is in fact possible to be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams of avarice but still be a fundamentally good person with a strong moral compass, and the only reason more rich people aren't like that is because they don't want to be.

I think that Dolly Parton was, for a lot of people, an ambassador of the "good" values people think of about the South: kindness, hospitality, can-do spirit, sharp and witty and down to earth. I think for a segment of people, too, she was theantithesis of a lot of noxious masculine country stuff.

every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸

Really, the person who made the image bothers me, but is still redeemable. They're honest about what they are doing. They might learn and grow and stop using genAI. But the one who crops and posts it as reality is garbage and will never be anything but.

An u16 social media ban on selected platforms a) won't significantly stop u16s being those platforms; Australian evidence shows this. b) will institute mass identity surveillance of all users of any age on those platforms; and c) Won't affect key sources of online safety risk (roblox, chatbots).

Hey #nzpol : is a hoarding on a trailer in the same spot for weeks legal if it's moved just a meter or so every four hours? That's how the Signs Bylaw 2022 reads to me, and it's a huge loophole on residential streets. This question brought to you by the National hoarding parked on Upland Road.

The number of writers who use genAI tools to "research" is possibly the most baffling thing to me It's not a search engine! It's generative! And predictive! These are like the only two things the techbros don't lie about! "oh it's just a starting point" READING TEA LEAVES WOULD BE AS EFFECTIVE

When people say they’re anti-AI, they’re clearly talking about generative AI in the arts and LLM slop that C-Suite jackoffs want to use to replace them. You know this. I know this. Everyone knows this. So the “then don’t use spellcheck if you hate AI” talking point is disingenuous horseshit.

Really think we need to talk about genAI usage in the arts in Aotearoa, because it is ugly out there. Most community theatres seem to now be using the plagiarism machine for all their promotion. Personally, I won't audition for any show promoted with genAI usage. genAI usage is the death of art.
