i have been obsessed with this for years. allowing manufacturers to sell direct to consumers would be good for consumers and also destroying the car dealership would be an existential crisis for republicans

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

A.
Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic.
When I

submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the

So few writers and commentators have directly and accurately captured the evil and horror and melancholy of our time, but also the value of fighting back, and the fact that several of the ones who did (Michael Hastings, Michael Brooks, Kaleb Horton) are no longer with us makes it all the more sad.

Just listened to the Safdie Bros on a podcast talking about how Uncut Gems took 10 years to get off the ground. Every time it wouldn't work they'd just say screw it and make another small movie they could control until they got there and man, if that isn't the best advice.

President Obama continues to be the only American President to have been born when the U.S. had 50 states. Carter, both Bushes, Clinton, Trump and Biden were all born when there were only 48 states. So was JFK. Reagan was born when there were only 46 lol

My thoughts on using "AI" to write.

The point of all of this
The most illiterate men alive were gassing themselves up because the computer had gotten some small degree better at producing dog shit that had the general production values of a circa 2004 video game cutscene. Delighting in the approach of a spiritually and culturally dead future devoid of art and meaning. You do have to admit that a new Narcos season starring Brad Pitt and Mr. Beast and Travis Kelce sounds pretty sick though.
There's only one flaw I can see in this supposed AI-generated future of seven fingered bikini babes with death behind their eyes and photorealistic Family Guy pornos: I don’t understand where they think their personalized sense of aesthetics they plan to input into the computer is going to come from down the line when all human artists have been driven out of business. If you want something perfectly tailored 1:1 to your own taste meant solely for you to experience alone you can already do that just by sitting there and thinking about

Mr. Beast show is fascinating. 1. For most popular YouTuber he’s not very charismatic and the show seems to be assembled in an attempt to actively hide this. 2. For somebody who is so brand obsessed, it’s unfathomable that he thought this would have him/his brand come off well.

some TV data from inside the WGA: there were 230 comedies and dramas this year, which is a 40% decline from 2023. Which is to say, in a more anecdotal fashion, writer employment is "pre-peak-TV levels." Is 2024 the new normal??

There are currently only 22 films streaming on Netflix made before 1980 and not a single one made before 1960, with the oldest film on the platform currently being PSYCHO. I know I’m a broken record but: buy physical media, support your local library, etc etc
