Art, literature and music are ways we express our human experience. Generative AI has nothing to say. Its remixed slop can only ever be, to quote Shakespeare, “a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

Great moments in Scottish engineering history: James Watt tries to work out how his phone attaches to his selfie stick.

Statue of James Watt. In his right hand he holds a telescopic stick with a frame at the top; in his left he holds a flat object about the size of a large smartphone. He is scowling at the possibly-not-a-smartphone as if he is tempted to yeet it into the sea. On that basis, it probably _is_ a phone.

Hopping vampires wreaking havoc in Dublin? Never thought I'd see it happen in my lifetime. And yet, director Fergal Costello has managed to cook up a fun, efficient little throwback to 80s B-movies. KUNG FU DEADLY premiered at Fantastic Fest. Review: filmexposure.ch/2026/09/24/f...

To see the Jiangshi trope re-emerge in a movie from Ireland of all places is surprising to say the least.
