This is Amy Madigan and Ed Harris refusing to applaud Elia Kazan's honorary Oscar in 1999. During the Blacklist Era, Kazan named names.
Good on Amy and Ed.
Absolutely nowhere. Bus just happens to have the airport as a stop.
I'm at an airport in the rain.
Drama shot of spinach agnolotti in progress.
The rich elite think they are rich because they are brilliant, when the truth is that their wealth & privilege insulates them from having to compete with people who are cleverer than they are. 🤷
I started nineteen different quote posts to this before I gave up and just reposted. Infuriating.
Why on earth did The Guardian give its “Why Marty Supreme should win the Best Picture Oscar” piece to a writer who self-avowedly didn’t like it, didn’t understand it, and remembers it both incompletely and inaccurately (as the sub missed in the final paragraph?) www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ma...
Last day of radiotherapy sounds like a victory of sorts, well done for getting through it. Fingers crossed it has done something!
That's frustrating about your dad, but he sounds relatively safe at least.
Hello! How are you doing? How's your dad getting on?
Good morning.
Why call it "rendered impossible due to sleep deprivation" when "cancelled by woke" is right there.
Ha!
Ah no, I'm so sorry. Poor lil Parkin.
Alas!
Same goes for my colleagues, tbh.
Ordering all my friends matching shoes in random sizes sounds like the kind of thing I'd do after a post-lottery win night at the pub.
My friends actually then wearing those shoes is not something that would happen, because they're friends and can call me a weird idiot if I've been a weird idiot.
I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...
Looks like the quality of video isn't good enough to show the cool thing the sky was doing, so sorry if you watched this and were confused. You'll have to trust me that it was cool.
Rowing was cancelled, but the sky is doing a cool weird thing.
Ah, fair... might give that a miss. Especially as there's always Fringe to rewatch.
Is DTF St Louis... what it sounds like?
You know the best way to kill AI? Don't use it. Don't buy it. Don't share it. Don't give the people who use it your labour or your money.
Yeah this is Edinburgh!
Slightly greyer morning today but no less peaceful.
Every cis man who considers trans women to be a threat to the safety of women has bought into the TERF belief that every man is a threat to women, yet consider themselves to be the exception to the rule, while likely giving a free pass to men in their circle who demonstrably are a threat to women
People saying "prove LLMs aren't conscious by defining human consciousness" are hilarious to me, like, no I can't explain that. What I can explain is how an LLM works. That's how I know it's not like human consciousness.
Morning!
Not just that, but teach new researchers to do the same.
Yeah, institutions seem very keen to be research-forward, but then refuse to pay for extra teaching/marking help so there's no time to do research anyway.
I'm updating this to add Sirāt. A beautiful, well crafted film that is extraordinarily upsetting.
