Brendan Fraser tells us that winning an Oscar doesn’t guarantee better acting roles.
“The fallacy is you have the pick of the litter. It’s not true, actually, because it depends on what’s being made... the good news is that good work is good work. No one sets out to make a dud.”
Finally got to write about this obsession. Elon pushed people to stop linking the articles they were talking about. He's started to roll that back, but we were left with a culture of people yelling at screenshots of headlines on monetized accounts
Dismantling the Institutional Review Board (IRB), that oversees all human subjects research, is bad. Really bad.

The Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 team when they got the call from Microsoft:
Louis CK still goes on comedy tours, Johnny Depp was forgiven by the vast majority of people, Bill Cosby got out of prison on a technicality, Cuomo is running for mayor of NYC, Trump is president for a second term, Jonathan Majors is being welcomed back into Hollywood, etc.

Media challenge: try writing headlines without using the word "antisemitism". Stop using Trump's framing for his authoritarian actions.
"Trump administration now monitoring immigrant social media" would be shorter and more accurate, since no-one really believes this is about anti-semitism.
"When authoritarians promise a return to an imaginary past, they stoke a furious nostalgia in those who have no better way to understand what is actually undermining their sense of a durable and meaningful future"
Worth noting that this passed by one vote and two Democratic congresspeople have died in office in the last six weeks.

This image is a screenshot of a social media post from an account named "Donald J. Trump" (@realDonaldTrump). The post states that federal funding will be stopped for any college, school, or university that allows illegal protests. It further mentions that agitators will be imprisoned or deported, American students will be expelled or arrested, and that masks will not be allowed. The post has engagement metrics showing 1.61k "ReTruths" and 5.81k "Likes," and it is timestamped March 4, 2025, at 7:30 AM. The profile picture of the account features an American flag design over a circular object.

had the pleasure of living in canada for a couple years and love the canadian people. they don’t deserve this. threatening one of our closest allies is utterly unnecessary.
Every time someone says they won’t try to use ai to replace teachers, you should put “yet” at the end of their sentence.
