I hate thinking about Woody Allen, Mia Farrow, or Soon-Yi, but this exchange is worth drawing attention to.

19.01.2026 06:47 — 👍 3072 🔁 427 💬 12 📌 4Today I read @violetlucca.bsky.social’s piece on THE SHROUDS, Hunny the “extreme obsequiousness” of AI chatbots and how Cronenberg’s films are “extensions of what currently exists”. Have had this essay bookmarked for a while,& today of all days, I really needed it.
