If you have an iphone, do not do the update! I mistook it for a routine security update and have spent too much of today trying to undo as much as possible. It appears to be increasingly designed by airhead preteens. How do I sign up for the adult version?

I love companies being punished for replacing workers with AI. Gimme more

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

Does anyone know anything about fixing image resolution? My publisher is only now telling me that every single image is too low resolution. I have so much on my plate right now, this either means I need to cut all of them or push the project back to February after I finish other deadlines.

Kinda meh on Mia Goth's performance... but she looked stunning.

I see nods to not just Shelley but the 1931 and even 1910 versions plus echoes of Pan's Labyrinth and Crimson Peak and The Terror and Edinburgh and Stirling and John Hunter and John Knox. Would love to sit down and pick his brain because I know he had a reason for every single thing.

I've finally seen Frankenstein and loved it as much as I hoped I would. I've heard Guillermo del Toro wax lyrical about the novel and believe he treats it and all its network of texts as sacred texts. And his movies are true tactile works of art.

Scene from OFFICE SPACE with Michael Bolton replying to Samir Nagheenanajar:

“No way. Why should I change?
He's the one who sucks.”

Catching up on the latest Conjuring movie. The third one is definitely the weakest.

I feel like the sooner the AI bubble bursts the less damage it will do. Please. Make it happen.

Are we really at a stage in public education where we consider it OK to have literally Google-branded schoolchildren whose learner identities are tied to being "responsible AI" users of private for-profit technologies?
