Why read anything anymore?

Just noticed an AI summary button at the head of some articles on Yahoo.

Seems only up on a few trite articles in the lifestyle section at the moment. Also, strangely, only on syndicated content and not native.

Wonder how long till this button is rolled out across the whole site?

Now you're speaking my language!

More snarky fashion posts please!

This issue has been debated in parliament and the news for days now.

We really are in the dumbest timeline...

For my nonAustralian followers here's an update from downunder politics.

Aus PM snapped wearing Joy Division t-shirt.

Opposition leader attacks him for insensitivity pointing out the name, "was taken from a wing of a Nazi concentration camp where Jewish women were forced into sexual slavery”.

What exactly would it take for her to be permanently banned from being a registered nurse?

Holy shit! Disqualified for two years? That's all?

Lifetime were making these Christmas movies way before AI came along so it's really hard to tell if there has been any change over the last few years.

But either way... Chef's kiss to the lifetime team.

The Truth About IFS, the Therapy That Can Break You Internal Family Systems is a widely popular trauma treatment. Some patients say it’s destroyed their lives.

Strong, well researched article. Also worth adding, IFS is very frequently used in MDMA therapy protocols.

Still thinking about this, days later. I feel this film captures something really important about how we live today. The way it depicts a disgruntlement and intolerance about living in a community with others is really profound.

Great interview man! I'm a huge Rushkoff fan.

Good question. It is slightly unclear but I'd interpret it as single big trips. 1 a month for 3 months.
5g is certainly at the big end of doses but I don't think it's super excessive.

YouTube video by Narcotica Podcast Episode 94: The AI Dystopia Acid Test with Douglas Rushkoff

New episode of @narcocast.bsky.social is all about AI and psychedelics with Douglas Rushkoff. Probably one of the best interviews I've had all year.

Reading articles written by royals reporters sometimes feel like dispatches from a parallel dimension. This one is all about the severity and humiliation for this guy when he probably should be in jail, or at the very least be on trial. But sure, take away his title and boot him out of the mansion.

N = 1 (very rich weird guy)

Garden States: Regeneration

Just saw a draft program for this event at the end of November and it is looking incredible. Bout an hour's drive out of Melbourne in a lush forest, I cannot urge you enough to consider coming if you are anywhere close and have even a passing interest in psychedelic culture or science.

So some rewatches in this batch hey? 😂

I see your sitting down less study and raise you a "mug of cocoa counteracts vascular problems from sitting" study...

😂
Attention. Deficit. Hyperactivity. Disorder.

I started watching The Perfect Neighbour last week.

Had to stop it after 30 minutes. It was making me too anxious.

Switched over to A House Of Dynamite. It was like Zen meditation in contrast. Toy tension.

Finally finished The Perfect Neighbour today. Took me 3 chunks.
Stunning movie.

Cool! Don't know much about that era of Korean film. I'll let you know if I watch it.

*the word if is doing a lot of work in that reply.

Just saw this slide in my feeds and I think it's a perfect encapsulation of why the Rotten Tomatoes algorithm is terrible and why Metacritic is so much better.

Note: Haven't seen the show. Don't care. Point is how different the calcs are based on same critical content.

Probably unsurprising but it's Blue Sunshine. I like it! But can't say any of the others appeal. If you had to recommend just one for me which one would you choose?

Or maybe just rewatch Dr Stranglove. It kinda suits the times better really. And more jokes...

One... And probably happy to keep it at that 😂

Man, I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet. So I'll keep it vague. But the hinge the film kept rewinding on was such a cheap tactic in light of how it ended up. I'm genuinely confused about what point it was trying to make.

Oh 100% it's a victim of circumstance considering production time. But that still makes it a weirdly dislocated out of time thing to watch. Bigelow's faith in the competence of government didn't work for me.

60 years ago Kubrick did this better, more presciently and more courageously than this film. 60 years ago!

I think Kathryn Bigelow is a brilliant director but A House of Dynamite is not good.
Its structural gambit adds nothing to the story. The resolution feels more like a cop out than anything.
And in 2025 the scenario feels artificial. Like a fairy tale if adults actually ran government.
