We had yet to check out The Well, Toronto’s attempt down at Front and Spadina at an outdoor mall like The Grove. Not enough stores still but a great food level and an Indigo Books with the cutest standee for HEARTSTOPPER I’ve ever seen 😍

So, this very sympathetic piece where the subject is “a lifelong Democrat who had voted for Trump for the first time in 2024”. 5 minutes of checking his facebook shows pro Trump posts as far back as 2019, and a post saying that he “stands with Trump” posted just a couple of days after Trumps coup.

Non-consensual, hard-to-avoid "use" of GenAI (like asbestos shoved into every crevice) does not invalidate critique of GenAI (primarily, its political economy of resource extraction, labor exploitation, &c)

Everyone has an opinion about Richard E. Grant being gloriously Richard E. Grant on THE CELEBRITY TRAITORS 😃
Patrick Ness • @patricknessbooks.bsky.social:
Richard E Grant is going to be an absolute disaster.

Oh Richard E Grant is going to be magnificent

Alll of this. I started my career in construction, working office jobs alongside people who worked trades. Know how many 60-year-old guys I saw working as bricklayers? Doing demo? Zero. How many 50-year-old roofers there are? Zero. One reason unions fight for high wages is because careers are SHORT.

I was lying in bed thinking about money last night, as one does, and comparing my joe job's salary to my basic monthly expenses, and I genuinely don't know how people who live alone can save money in this city without living like a monk who has decided to become the most emblematic monk in history.

I had a boyhood dream of living in the city with a boyfriend and a dog and running a bookshop. For a while there, I achieved all I wanted. But the rents were too high and the bookshops struggled and now it feels like my dreams were too big while I’m being told I didn’t strive enough. Grim times 🫤

As long as he’s aiming his invective at concepts associated with Black people he’s perfectly fine, once he strayed from anti-Black racism the mainstream press began to notice his bigotry.

What's great about this is - Yes. Germany was in fact a source of great scientific knowledge in the end of the 19th century. If you wanted to do science, you learned German. And then the Nazis destroyed the German scientific establishment. Because that's what Nazis do.

The Ellisons are doomed to fail because they’re in so much debt that they can only make mega-hits but they’re also going to insist that all of these movies be devoid of woke and play to Middle America and that’s just completely unsustainable

I think a lot about that remark Michael Bay made on the ARMAGEDDON commentary track, that nobody ever went broke pandering to middle America. (I think he might have been quoting something from olden days showbiz.) But the Ellisons think "the worst posters on X" and "middle America" are the same

We have been saved by cooler heads from all the many dangers that attend “going too far” when it comes to honesty about and consequence for abusers in a society that encourages and celebrates abuse and rewards and protects abusers. Whew! Close one. Good catch, cooler heads.

What an unbelievable waste for so many people to work so hard on a whole movie, only for someone to go "hmm, you know what's better than 30sec of archive footage? Embroiling our film in controversy so we'll never get a headline that doesn't mention AI."
