My recollection is that most critics loved it,l; the ones you’d expect to (including those you cited) hated it, but quite a number of critics and pundits were irrationally terrified by what they imagined Black audience reactions would be. www.metacritic.com/movie/do-the...

I had to do this this week after seeing the union statement about hating it, and I also hate it! I asked my server and they hypothesized part of it was "loss prevention," but it's a weird, ungainly half-measure that did not simplify or improve my experience!

They tell us that to call Gaza a genocide cheapens the word, and that to deny it defends the Jews. Both are backwards. It is the denial that cheapens the word, and the denial defends no one. Between our refusal to name the crime and the campaign waged in our name to sanction its judges, defund its courts, and discredit every body built to watch for it, we are not guarding the meaning of genocide — we are hollowing out the world’s power to recognize it, prevent it, judge it, and punish it. The very machinery Lemkin raised from the ashes of our own catastrophe, so that never again might be more than a slogan, is being dismantled with our blessing. We tell ourselves we are protecting our own. We are doing the opposite — stripping every people on earth of its one shield against annihilation, and ourselves along with them, when the turn comes round again to us.

This will not free Palestine. Human beings are not mascots to be cheered or jeered. They are universes. Each innocent murdered on October 7th was a universe. Each innocent murdered in the years since was a universe. Let's fight for justice and peace, not further dehumanization. זכרונם לברכה

I’m going to recommend the scariest thing I’ve seen in the last decade or two: the one-season 2019 French TV series MARIANNE, on Netflix. And if you’ve already seen that, what about last year’s SOMETHING VERY BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN. Eight episodes each, can binge them over a long weekend!

OpenAI's chatbot isn't just imitating the magazine's style. It's also falsely attributing AI-generated images to real artists.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

It was bad enough when actual artists rushed to make their "concept" posters (often getting big things wrong!) before the filmmakers could release an official one. AI slop is making this infinitely worse. The gatekeepers (IMDb, Google, etc.) need to get out in front of this.

I recommend people read this to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings

It's a tool that publishers use to the detriment of journalists. And readers use to the detriment of publishers. And tech companies use to the detriment of everyone. Also, its biggest proponents suggest there's a real chance it could kill us all. None of that is like the web or smartphones!

By the time this merger ruins HBO, destroys WB, gets 5,000 people fired, moves production overseas, and guts the quality of the movies the new studio makes, most people will have forgotten how fast the AGs caved and how little they got in this deal. Writers will not.

The stacked cast includes Jared Harris, ‘90s indie icon Martin Donovan, ‘60s icon Peter Fonda and a cameo by DAVID FREAKIN’ LYNCH. Part of an incredible 90s mini-wave of great New York indie vampire films with Fessenden’s HABIT (1995) and Abel Ferrara’s THE ADDICTION (1996).
