"Went the Day Well" (1942) isn't masterful cinema but it absolutely is masterful anti-nazi narrative. Incredible. Find it at your library and watch immediately.

as with the me too movement, it is necessary for men to call each other out, and in, and i can't help but worry that this conversation will ONCE AGAIN become all about them. i will not survive another 'how to talk to the men in your life about rape' round of discourse!!!!!

I learned a small amount recently about chatbot-powered "synthetic" research panels for like, polling and market research and stuff. And first, I'm disgusted; and second, I wonder how to use this in a play.

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

Public Citizen's J.B. Branch makes the case that the OpenAI–Hugging Face incident was "a foreseeable governance failure rooted in private decision-making"—and that voluntary corporate risk management is not enough. Congress must investigate, he says.

New research suggests that LLMs can develop their own biases from experience, separate from their training data. This can lead them to stereotype job applicants even more than humans do. www.technologyreview.com/2026/07/20/1...

technologyreview.com

AI is more likely than humans to form biases when hiring

AI doesn’t just learn stereotypes from its training. It can cook up new ones, too.

I'm at a big theatre conference so I also am seeing some theatre in Melbourne, which means I got to see Suzy Eddie Izzard (as I'm a huge long-time fan) do her one-woman Hamlet. And I had some T H O U G H T S. open.substack.com/pub/giantner...

Locked Groove: Izzard's Hamlet

Apparently a 'locked groove' is the technical term for when a record gets stuck in a repeating phrase, as opposed to a skipping record or an otherwise broken record, and this is an Ophelia metaphor.
