This headline from @deadline.com is gross. Disney wasn't hit with anything. The studio just fucked hundreds of its employees.

Time for a Gena Rowlands double feature. The main feature is one of my favorites of all time and the latter I haven’t seen in ages though Richard Dreyfuss playing an annoying guy I understand now was A+ casting.

The marquee at the New Beverly which reads:

ALWAYS ON FILM
GENA ROWLANDS IN
MINNIE AND MOSKOWITZ
& ONCE AROUND

If no one’s busy, meet me at the corner of Beverly & La Brea to help me steal the giant Digger shovel before they take this down next week. In tribute to the film, I drained all the color out of the photo for no reason.

A Digger billboard at a gas station where the couch jumper holds a giant shovel that reaches the ground.

I can see why they were careful not to reveal what Digger actually is or else they would be tracking to make two dollars and an expired TCBY coupon this weekend.

My executive order insists we refer to "artificial intelligence" as "turbocharged predictive text" which is far more accurate than what the moron in the White House believes.

I feel like if AI wants to be in the business of offering medical opinions, then AI companies need to be in the "getting sued for medical malpractice" business too

I know Musk is high on the list of Most Responsible For How Things Are but the person I loathe most is Jenny McCarthy and whichever editor/producer platformed her. Once someone decided she knew more than a doctor we were fucked forever. She's the reason people believe TikTok and YouTube.

The critical response to Digger when the embargo dropped is further evidence to *never* ever pay attention to when the initial social media embargo drops. Wait for the actual critics, not the unofficial hype men.

Our entire economy is being artificially propped up by astrology for men: AI, crypto, sports betting, and prediction markets. It's an economy shaped entirely by male insecurity and lack of impulse control, and we'll all pay the price.

Not since MEGALOPOLIS have I encountered a film like DIGGER, which similarly has massive ambitions to tell a sprawling story about The Way We Live Now. In both cases, I don't think the final product works at all, although I do find each movie genuinely fascinating in its failure.

If Tom Cruise gets an Oscar nomination for DIGGER, I hope the clip they use is the scene from COYOTE VS. ACME where Foghorn Leghorn testifies to congress. Cruise gives the exact same performance, and almost exactly the same speech, but in COYOTE VS. ACME it hits 100x harder.

"A satire about the didacticism of contemporary satires" is quite a movie to make during an era when satires are rarely financed or made in any art form because corporations stifle them.

Writers, if you are against AI, do not put your writing into ANY tool that is itself AI. Not to check grammar, not to "prove" you wrote it yourself. Everything you give them becomes part of their data, even if it's only to "improve their service" or whatever BS they tell you.

Those who think AI is going to largely automate white collar jobs in the next couple of years don’t understand the nature of work - @sarahoconnorft.ft.com nails it www.ft.com/content/4aad...

It is not obvious that AI agents could eliminate the need for this type of work, since it involves persuasion, contestation and the exchange of tacit knowledge and experience that is spread across different departments, and often exists inside people's heads rather than in a neatly codified handbook on the intranet.
