fuck sam altman forever for taking away the last places where we could engage in good faith: the creative arts, which should be a testament to human ingenuity. i am so mad that everything i read or listen to or admire is now tainted with doubt. do you understand? he is a thief of joy and i HATE HIM
The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

This video of a Ukrainian Yak-52 crew taking down drones with a shotgun is incredible, but the music is deeply, and profoundly inappropriate. There was really only one option. So I've fixed it.
Not once in the 80s, 90s or 00s do I recall a politician urging the public to embrace email, mobile phones, texting, two factor authentication, online banking, air fryers, or to replace all their cassette collection with a CD collection.
So forgive me if I smell a rat.

elizabethrosehalligan • 11h So I'm not trying to knock the gesture here, l get the sentiment. I feel for the astronaut who lost his wife as it was devastating to lose my father-in-law, who | loved very much, to glioblastoma suddenly in 2023. But 4 astronauts deciding to name a spot on THE FUCKING MOON after ONE GUY'S WIFE while the other 8 BILLION of us down here have no input on NAMING SHIT ON THE FUCKING MOON still feels like colonizer behavior to me. I don't care if one of them was a black dude. • 260 Q2.3K G43 218

swirlies. Per Slash Film, Einbinder shared a pointed message directed at Al creators during a recent Hacks season-five press conference. "You are a loser," she said. "You will never be cool. And you probably had a rolly backpack in high school. I wanna put your head in the toilet and flush." Einbinder, who concluded her acceptance speech at last year's Emmys by saying, "Go Birds, fuck ICE, and free Palestine," didn't sugarcoat her stance when she described people who generate Al content. She noted that she doesn't consider them to be artists or creatives. "They've wanted their whole lives to be special. And they're not special," she said. "They're trying to rob real creative people of our gifts. And you can't. And even if you try, you will never be cool. You guys suck. No one likes you. Anyone who's near you is because they crave power and access over any ethical standard."

Yes. And why pretend for a moment that if it were dropped, there wouldnt be a hassle over something else? www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
They’re right! I would pay good money for actual nice restorations on disc
Americans suffer from a desperate need to believe in the inherent goodness of the American electorate--the idea that a voter in 2024--after nearly a decade of unfiltered, widely broadcast, deeply fascist rhetoric from Donald Trump--was simply "tricked" by a Facebook algorithm or a Fox News segment.
Well this is just great 🤦 Say hello to Trump's new Treasury Secretary
Perhaps because of the series’s length, critics writing about “Love and Rockets” have tended to focus on its indie credentials or identity politics. A new reissue of its early stories is an opportunity for a reevaluation long overdue.
"A lawyer representing an Alberta First Nation at a hearing to quash a potential independence referendum... said Tuesday that the vote would violate long-established treaties & argued that separatists have no right “to petition for the breakup of Canada.”

People really dislike folks questioning AI and it's usage. I watched a lot of the back and forth about it yesterday and something stuck with me. Ppl say theirs no point in being against AI because "it's in everything and everywhere" but so is racism, and I'll forever complain about both
