"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

"You know why most film makers are liberal? Because our job is to make you care about situations & people. And to do that, we think a lot about that kind of shit & channel it into our work. You don’t care about other people? This is not the job for you." ~ Duncan Jones #scriptsky #filmsky

Big Mama Thornton talks about recording "Hound Dog," which would become her best selling single. And a key moment in Rock N Roll history. Big Mama Thornton would've been 99 today

When we talk about physical media, we are often only taking about personal collections but a big part of shunning the current digital ecosystem is supporting your local library. Not just for print books and periodicals but for movies, games and other medias too. Get. A. Library. Card.

Just told my 10yo daughter about #DickCheney. She had tears in her eyes. And then she did the Wakanda pose and said "#Dickanda forever"—which is the sort of pop culture cross-over I can celebrate.

Ex-Partner returns with their debut album Lore-Core, a blitz of textural landscapes crashing into Tony Drent’s fragile, distinctly Aotearoan voice, a union which frequently degenerates into lush, dream-like scenes resembling a Safdie brothers film soundtrack or a lost microgenre of the Bloghouse era

Reposting with Alt-text:
The lady at the charity shop today told me that she wishes people would clear out their children's old toys in the lead up to Christmas rather than after because she always sees a number of parents in the days before Christmas looking for toys for their little ones who might be strapped for cash. She said there's very rarely anything in just before, but that they get inundated with toys in the days after. 

And it really made me think about it in a way I never would have before. If you know your child is going to get lots of presents from father Christmas this year, by clearing out your cupboards a few days early you could make another child's Christmas a lot more special too.

Saw this & thought I'd repost
