NEW: Brown Brothers Media is the most successful media company you've never heard of. For years, its success was fueled by AI, fake writers, and fake reporting. When we started asking questions, BBM started mass-deleting content. Somehow, what came next was even worse. futurism.com/artificial-i...

Dalton was objectively the best actor to play Bond. Connery was a stoic pretty boy when he got the role, Lazenby was a con artist, Moore was a goofball, Brosnan was a theater kid, and Craig was a action star. Dalton suffered because everyone making movies in the late 80s was blown out on good coke

Yeah except we killed the housing market by being so hungover from fucking and partying all night, all we could stomach at brunch (breakfast at noon) was toast with guac (and bottomless mimosas). Now that I think about it, the elder Gen Zs are the kids of millennials who didn't party in their 20s 🤔

My home uses heating oil, which gets delivered by a company I am at constant war with. I'm also deeply reliant on them. A month ago a gallon was $3.80. Anticipating a spike (and rejecting their price lock after our last argument), I placed a market rate order this past Monday at $4.26.

The kneejerk reaction to say we *should* keep kids out of corners of the internet is one I understand, but this isn’t the way. We’ve seen this in the gaming space. Parents need to monitor their kids’ online habits, not politicians, and certainly not AI. Parent your damn kids.

Counterpoint: We got to this point by looking away from state sanctioned violent impunity, the only reason we're seeing the levels of outrage we're seeing now is because enough people are seeing the horror. Nobody should be traumatized by autoplay but nobody should be executed for resisting either
