Also Jessie Buckley is even better in this than she was in HAMNET, another divisive movie in which she’s the best thing in it. Christian Bale, who can be a little dry when he’s being too serious, is a lot of fun even though his accent is baffling.

I wouldn’t call it perfect but I am firmly in the @veradrew22.bsky.social camp of thinking that THE BRIDE! is an absolute cinema experience, sod the haters. Takes ridiculously big swings right out of the gate and mostly they work. The laugh out loud moments are deliberate!

Possible solution to the Strait of Hormuz?

It’s not a plot hole that Elmo has been 3 years old for 50 years. He was bitten by The Count, willingly. Elmo asked for the Dark Gift

And I start laughing like a child
And I mark their faces one by one
Transfiguration's gonna come for me at last
And I will burn hotter than the sun

Well, they come and pull me from my house
And they drag my body through the streets
And the sun's so hot I think I'll catch fire and burn up
In the summer air so moist and sweet

There is no deadline
There is no schedule
There is no plan we can fall back on

Yeah, but you're going to do
What you want to do
No matter what
I ask of you
And you send your dark messengers
To tempt me
I come from Chino so all your threats are empty

there’s no explanation but i assume trump take buffy

Entire families wiped out and towns emptied as Israel’s war on Lebanon intensifies Communities displaced and destroyed while death toll rises faster than during any previous war in Lebanon

The extension of the Gaza genocide to the whole of the Middle East

This is only acceptable if you’re covering Tim Curry’s “Anything Can Happen On Halloween”

If they’re going to do this then we should be allowed to shell the infield

Hilariously attending a sxsw panel where the moderator started by "asking AI" to approximate the perspectives of the panelists and read those texts out loud

He...he made sloppelgangers

The weather forecast this morning: “No snow today. 1% chance.”

My anxious, catastrophizing, hypervigilant ass watching a few white flakes drift from the sky: “1% is not nothing!!! My worldview is VALIDATED.”

This is a good point. comparing ai to asbestos *is* unfair to asbestos

The most helpful any everyday technology has ever been is GMail's "You wrote 'Attached is' but no files are attached." reminder and I don't need any tech to be more intelligent than that.

"We just want to make you happy, Carol."

Altman's "intelligence as a metered service" captures the AI moment well—it's an attempt at the formal subsumption of ever-finer microrealms of human labour embedded within capitalist production. You already have an underpaid email job but what if you also had to pay the machine to write your emails

Great short thread. I’ll add that lots of the highest profile tech journalists relentlessly glazed Musk to the point of embarrassment. He was always a shameless liar, but there was no curiosity or followup on his self aggrandizing stories. Mainstream culture followed accordingly (Marvel, Star Trek)

The center-right Le Monde editorial board this morning:

Reminds me of Minthara

There's a bit in SIRAT at like the 30 minute mark where there's a steady droning sound while the camera is focused on a straight painted line in the road and then when it turns dotted the beat drops and I've been thinking about it for like two straight days.

The desert truck drivers:

I could go on and on and on. What could be more New Labour than Peter concocting an all-media hate campaign to destroy his own party in The Brexit Election; shitehousing an abject, clueless fraud to power then standing hand outstretched demanding your ambassador job, never mind your US noncey links?
