This is obvious to anyone who thinks about it for more than half a second, lol. The people claiming that AI is "horrible for the environment!" don't actually care about the environment. They just want AI destroyed.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has been saying how scary AI could be and how we should regulate development. And while I agree (despite being more pro-AI) I do find it ironic his name is an exact anagram for "AI doomer aid," as in he's aiding the rhetoric of AI doomerism. The simulation's getting lazy!

This is objectively good news for Palestine, and yet the Pro-Palestine movement is dead silent. You'd think if they actually cared about Palestine like they claim, they'd be happy about this. Huh, almost like they've never actually cared about Palestine at all, and just want to hate Jewish people.

Honestly, at this point, Dune has gotta move. But it would be utterly hilarious if Doomsday moves now instead, because with how far the momentum is in Marvel's favor, it would be less seen as Disney blinking and more them doing a massive act of grace and charity. 🤣

If Pizza Planet was a real chain and the "Tri-County Area" version in Toy Story is indicative of how it normally is, just imagine the Dubai location. Like, there'd be 50-foot Jaegars from Pacific Rim guarding the entrance saying "YOU ARE CLEAR TO ENTER. WELCOME TO PIZZA PLANET."

God I loved Sam Neill as Alan Grant. He brought such a warmth to the character in a way that made him so endearing. He was also some of the best parts of the two sequels he was in. Beyond Jurassic Park, it was always nice to hear his natural New Zealand accent in other movies, lol. RIP to a legend.

Maybe it's because I'm a futurist rather than a nostalgic, but I see no problem with what Sony is doing with PlayStation. Digital sales are like 90% of their income, and physical is more expensive and time-consuming to produce, so cutting it makes economic sense. That's just how it works, y'all.

If the reports that Thunderbolts is getting a sequel are accurate, then that should definitively conclude that Captain America: Brave New World was not a flop. It grossed more than Thunderbolts on a lower budget, and you don't make sequels to movies that flopped that soon after the original.

Some of the Pro Palestine movement more concerned with hating Israel than saving Palestine need to rewatch Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie and see what happens when a guy (ironically Israeli!) becomes so consumed by radicalization that he wallows in misery when his enemy is given mercy. Don't be Jonah.

I hope people who hate AI so much they've now decided to be against data centers get their wish and have them all destroyed. Because then many AI artists would continue making AI art in peace on their local models, while the haters would have no more social media to spew their hate on anymore.

The vibe for Pride Month this year feels leagues different than last year. Last year, people were very guarded, quiet almost. But now there's a defiance to everything. An aggressive reclamation of stolen ground. And I think those against it feel it.

With the predictable reaction from the usual crowd to God of War Laufey, I think we're safely past the point of thinking the complaints about women characters throughout the years ever actually had anything to do with "bad writing."

As the numbers come in, beware the chuds' usage of their favorite weapon in box office discourse: "context." The use of nebulous reasoning to make whatever numbers they want mean whatever outcome they want. Box office is math. Math is objective. And objectively, this movie will do fine.

The fact the grifters say the $165m budget for Mandalorian and Grogu is "a lie" and "it actually costs way more," while ALSO saying it looks "cheap as hell" and "like a TV movie" proves they don't care about how the movie actually is. It's all "Disney Star Wars bad" and working backwards from that.
