the local biker gang used ai to generate themselves as chibi anime characters on a shirt to promote their charity drive; which now i have to be normal about and not laugh at this guy with aggravated assault as one of his patches he sewed on his jacket

it is important to emphasize that this was *the point*. this was *intentional*. elon musk is a vicious white supremacist who thinks poor african children ought to die, so that the world can be whiter

Extremely Online: 'Antitrust' Our new column on films in the internet age looks back at time when Bill Gates was the boogeyman of Silicon Valley.

For The Reveal, I started up a new column type today called "Extremely Online" that digs into films about the internet age, from the '90s to the present. First up is ANTITRUST, a thriller about the deadly allergens of Bill Gates and sesame seeds: thereveal.film/extremely-on...

A complaint I keep seeing (mostly in the Bad Place) is that critics should be reviewing MICHAEL for what it is, rather than what they think it ought to be. But sometimes critics have a moral obligation to reject the terms a movie sets for itself, or at the very least to interrogate those terms.

Growing up, I remember people here and there grousing about the "teddy bears" in Jedi. I couldn't articulate it until well into adulthood, but I think even then I'd resolved to never be the guy who complains about the teddy bears in Star Wars, both literal and figurative.

AI has made forms of mental illness formerly only available to the stupendously wealthy accessible to the common man.

A thing about the heaviest users of chatbots is that they acclimate to cloying obsequiousness. Like a billionaire and their entourage of viziers, it becomes normal to them.

Any interaction that is *not* abject simpering they'll now perceive as a slap to the face, an aggressively violent outburst.

"The GM's job is to enable my bullshit, specifically" is the most I have been owned since my wife called my D&D playing "bad improv with math."

Which RPG Era are you? Rowan Rook and Decard is making a game where you can explore RPG history via a massive Meta(mega)Dungeon, but where do you belong in it?

CDC won’t publish report showing covid shots cut likelihood of hospital visits The report, which had cleared the agency’s scientific-review process, had been delayed. It now won’t be published at all, people familiar with the decision told The Post.

SCOOP: Two weeks ago, the head of the CDC delayed publication of a report showing covid vaccine cut likelihood of ER visits and hospitalizations by half. Now that report is no longer allowed to be published in CDC’s flagship scientific journal. My latest. 1/2

Yesterday I spoke at a high school in Calgary, giving the students a quick rundown of my creative career and things I wish I'd known when I was their age.

Here's a summary of key points I covered:

• My career is nothing like what I envisioned when I was young, but key parts of it shaped my future.

What I Learned About Billionaires at Jeff Bezos’s Private Retreat For the richest men on Earth, everything is free and nothing matters.

“Bezos and the world’s richest men have left the world of consequences behind,” Noah Hawley writes. “Their actions are only ever judged by themselves.” Here’s what Hawley learned about the ultra-wealthy at Jeff Bezos’s Campfire retreat:

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly

Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way
