Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Comic that says Literature Class in a Nutshell. Panel 1) "What the author means" and Edgar Allan Poe saying "I love ravens" with heart bubble. 2) "What the student bullshits" Student in class saying "The raven is a bird." 3) What the teacher explains "Wrong the raven represents despair, remorse, etc." and Poe screaming at the teacher.

I try not to be hyperbolic but this is the single worst comic I have ever seen in my entire life.

Israel’s Total Blockade of Gaza Has Created ‘Catastrophic’ Conditions, Doctors Say The effect of Israel’s total siege has become “catastrophic,” doctors say. Food, water and medicine shortages are prompting a surge of preventable illnesses, and deaths.

This is a genocide. Two million people are being starved to death simply because of who they are and where they were born.

People have interpreted this as a call for a boycott, when I actually want a wealth tax so aggressive it'd make Lenin say, "steady on, lad" if Lenin talked like Wallace from Wallace and Gromit.

This. Protect trans kids. Protect trans rights. Gender is a spectrum. Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Non-binary people exist. Inter-sex & DSD people exist. Gender-non-conforming people exist. Transphobia is anti-feminist. Laws are often wrong and unjust. We must fight for a fairer future.

On the one side you have every writer, artist, musician, actor, director, and comedian ever to create anything worthwhile, on the other you have Elon Musk, Bankman-Fried, and people whose idea of artistic creation is to type "big titty Supergirl" as a prompt. Of course Labour side with the latter.

Fix Your Heart or Die: The Startling Empathy of David Lynch The films of David Lynch are strange creatures, but to focus only on their most ungainly appendages is to willfully ignore their equally beautiful qualities.

question: I feel like the relationship of the audience to movies has changed in the past ten or 15 years. They expect the movie to come to them. answer: Absolutely. They’d rather go home and turn on their TV and see a film that way. And let’s face it, a certain kind of corruption comes in because people go home and they shop around on these streaming platforms. There’s some good things about the platforms. They create a lot of movies. They create a lot of jobs. But there’s so many distractions that you can’t enter the stuff. People watch five minutes of something and they say, “I’m not really into it” and they go to another thing. “I’m not really into it.” Then another thing. “I’m not really into it.” Then they go to bed. If you don’t put in the effort, you’re not going to receive much. And the discourse gets lowered, and everything gets a little more dumbed down and then that’s when the ruffians come in, and they’re the ones with energy and stupidity and then they can crush all the thoughtful people. That’s not good for culture, and that’s not good for humanity. We see the results of that all the time.

i will also die angry at the genAI crowd for deliberately causing the general public to conflate the ocean-boiling plagiarism machine with USEFUL forms of machine learning, like that wildfire early-detection system they're using around Kelowna now
