Ron Dean in The Fugitive

Ron Dean, terrific Chicago actor, RIP. Dean was one of the many key components that make "The Fugitive" (1993) the masterpiece that it is.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

AI is great for the meddling studio executives who ruin good movies with terrible notes. They’ll get the exact slop they want and they’ll save money doing it.

Don’t reward them with your curiosity.

“The president should be removed from office, because he is plainly insane.”

This would have been amazing. Our country is so sensitive to truthful discussions about slavery and racism.

You would not believe how many stories like this have been popping up over the last ~5 years

Not just full games cancelled—entire characters and plot lines removed or changed, leaving less time for making the *rest of the game better*, to try avoiding a small and malicious contingent of voices.

Trump's appointees were all screened, many with lie detectors, to confirm their absolute loyalty to him personally. Any suggestion that an action or statement from him is inappropriate will be met with punishment, usually firing sometimes worse. #ProudBlue

This is why I love Chicago so much. Their “we will fuck with you” reserves are BOTTOMLESS.

The weirdest thing I stumbled across today. There is a right-wing victory lap happening over a clip of Sylvester Stallone walking out of a Jimmy Kimmel interview. The problem? The whole story is AI generated and there isn’t actually a clip of the supposed incident, just an AI narrated video.

Is it good when the commander in chief is untethered to reality?

I am canceling tonight's antifa pot luck due to the tumor I got from taking the measles vaccine. I appreciate privacy during this difficult time and whatnot.

The current paradigm of "AI"— all of its, e.g., embedded values, design, cultural deployment, & structural affordances— has been repeatedly demonstrated to harm both critical skills development & the structure & maintenance of the relational social fabric.

That sounds pretty anti-pedagogical, to me

Pritzker: "This guy is unhinged. He's insecure. He's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump. If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me."

"We took the freedom of speech away," says the president

WATCH— @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social : “You’re doing this for clout. You’re not gonna talk over me. You voted for the big ugly bill that cut $1 Trillion from Medicaid & gave tax cuts to your billionaire donors.”

@repmikelawler tried to ambush Jeffries, who didn’t back down

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Lord Heseltine, "The number of people aged below 50 who think it was right for us to leave the European Union, is less than 20%

"The latest polls tells us 56% now believe it was mistake to leave the European Union"

Hands up if you are one of the 56% 🙋‍♂️

holy hell

That we share this planet with people brave enough to join an unarmed flotilla attempting to get aid into Gaza but also with cowards as craven as these guys is really something of a wonder to behold.

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

He finally got the election-denying MAGA A.G. he always dreamed of. Bondi was openly partisan, scornful & highly combative, her non-answers dripping with disdain. Very telling when she was asked if she'd seen the photos of her boss "with half-naked young women." PATHETIC

Twitter obviously fucking sucks and is run by racists, but, also, imagine being radicalized by awful AI images that all look like spread buttcheeks.

These whales were hunted to 150 individuals. Now there's 50,000 of them Once hunted almost to extinction, the population of humpback whales currently migrating down Australia's east coast has bounced back and is now greater than before whaling.

Eastern Australian humpback whale population now well above pre-whaling levels, report finds - ABC News 🦑🧪🌎

The problem is the term “content.” It has been a problem for a long time because it devalues art and puts it in the same category as people who put their reactions side by side with a video.

Jim Lee forever

Nearly ten years of podcasting. Befriending authors and editors. So many great things.

A couple of hours ago!

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.
