"It" being his film career, to be clear. And having to specify? That is the reason I've no interest in the old piece of shit.

You know, all this talk about "windbaggery" and "five dollar words" makes you sound insecure about your vocabulary, and is, at best, to one side of the discussion.

I'm still trying to understand why, even on this supposed liberal bubble of a podunk social media backwater, enough people give two shits about Elon Musk's opinions that it becomes a trending topic.

Why is sympathy due to someone getting blocked by a person they don't know personally?

Your personal concern for such matters means exactly nothing in terms of what you're entitled to expect from others. You're basically saying here that there are circumstances in which people MUST attend to your speech. That's ludicrous.

'Fair' isn't an applicable concept here, for goodness' sale. Nobody is entitled to anybody else's attention. We can each of us block anyone we want, for any reason, and no instance of that happening is, in any sense of the word, unfair. You're making a category error.

Is there anyone with more legal education that I have willing to file a class action lawsuit against "Trump TV" for using our tax money to fund his stupid shit?

I'm not saying that anyone unfamiliar with a given pop song is obligated to correct that unfamiliarity. I am saying it's weird to be proud of ignorance.

Maybe consider that billionaires as such are a hugely destructive feature of our economy, hurting working people by their very existence no matter how much you may like their personal vibe.

I don't see too many movies at the theater any more, unless it's something especially of interest. I saw a rumor earlier, to the effect that Kane Parsons may be in the early stages of developing a "Portal" movie, and I just to be on the record: I will see that movie in a theater.

I would dearly like to know what business master-mind thought it was a good idea to a) introduce advertising into a personal space it's never appeared in before, absolutely without working, and b) make a reboot of a crazy old bigot's cash cow the first advertised product. Pure insanity.

Maybe consider that it wasn't at all obvious you were joking? It wasn't funny, for starters.

This is just flatly incorrect. Never mistake your personal taste for actual widespread viewing trends.

Well... Space Jam (1996) Looney Tunes: Back in Action (2003) Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021) The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (2025) Coyote vs. Acme (2026) They've been doing original feature length films for decades at this point.

Unless I missed Bogart in the background somewhere (entirely possible), I think it's Peter Lorre you're referring to.

So today I saw "Coyote vs. Acme", which was excellent, to and now I learn that the recently announced previously unreleased album by the Cramps from 1977 is out. I'm having a great culture day!

Oof. Is this about one video, or is it wider trend you're noticing? Name names, I could use a cringe.

Another London dispatch: If any of you know any Broadway producers or investors, I am begging you to convince them to transfer "My Neighbor Totoro" to NYC when it closes in London in January. It is one of most enchanting, moving, heartwarming shows I've seen & I want audiences here to experience it🙏

"Must" is a weird choice of words here. In the same way that all art is unnecessary, no art is a mandatory experience either. So the answer to your question is no. Your writing would be clearer if you framed your dislike for the show as statements rather than veiling them in silly questions.

We do not "need" any specific instance of artistic expression. All art is gratuitous. Why do you ask?

Incredible. When E—n M—k & his crew obliterated USAID in a weekend, they deleted a vast trove of publicly-funded knowledge: the Development Experience Clearinghouse. A Canadian high school student (!) happened to have downloaded the entire thing for a project. AidData has now posted it for all.

Before reimagining development data, remember what we’ve learned

Why we’re publishing a free, searchable, and ungated archive featuring a quarter-century of USAID evaluation reports.

I'm waiting for the REAL original version. A guy in a weird robe, belting out the poem in song form, entirely from memory, accompanied by lyres and weird bongo drums. And everyone gets drunker, as it goes on, including the singer.

In case you had any doubt that AI is straight ripping artists off, please see this ad I came across on reddit. Did anyone ask Jamie Hewlett or Damon Albarn how they feel about this?
