It's fascinating that people will avoid mentioning race but this person means "white women" when they say "suburban, college educated women"

Boots Riley is resolute in his belief that AI proponents and studio heads who say that gen AI is the future of filmmaking are simply lying. Read the full interview from @charlespulliam.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/entertainmen...
Boots Riley quote: There’s a trillion dollars already invested in this technology, and a certain amount of the hype around it is just people scamming the same way we saw with NFTs.

6/ There's tons more interesting information in the full survey — more than I had space to write up! For example, here are the genres Americans say they read, and which ones men and women say they read!
A dot plot of YouGov polling data with the headline: "Book genres Americans, men, and women read in 2025."

The chart has the sub-headline: "Which of the following types of books have you read or listened to in 2025? Select all that apply. (% of U.S. adult citizens who read at least one book in 2025 selecting each genre)."

The chart has the note: "Note: Responses of "other fiction," "other non-fiction," "none of the above," and "I haven't read a book in the past year" are not shown."
