Generative AI by definition is conformity. It is an averaging of anything you ask of it - quite literally guessing what the most likely version of a thing might be. It is, by definition, mainstream, as is everything it creates old and deeply ideological, as every model trains on similar data.

Among the greatest promotional photos of all time are these for the 1990 television movie of IT, where it looks like a prestige legal drama about a firm of hot young lawyers and one associate who likes to dress up like a clown.

Tweet from @thekafkadude

It's really funny how America and the UK stopped investing in infrastructure in the 1980s because the free market will pave potholes and make the trains run on time and now literally nothing works and you cannot go anywhere or do anything but like 4 people are richer than God.

There are things that I know I don't explain that I don't even want to say out loud! But I wanted Superman to be vulnerable. I see the online things "Who would beat whom?" - Homelander or Superman or fucking whatever, Adam Warlock or Brightburn, and I'm like, "This is the fucking stupidest fucking conversation." Like, so then whoever would win this fight means that they're the best? Because I'll just go out and write God Man, who can destroy you with a wink. And I win. I win all the fights forever. But I didn't want a Superman who…

There were a lot of interesting sections from that James Gunn interview but I gotta be honest when I say that this section resonated with me the most

β€œIs there internet on your iPhone?
It isn't connected, it's just a camera.
I'm envious of that.
I hate it. About 10 years ago, Katy Perry was talking to me about the internet armies of all the girl singers, and how cruel and rancid they were. I said, "Well, I wouldn't know because I'm not on the internet." She said,
"So, who are your rivals?" I just looked at her. It was my steely look. I said, "Katy, I don't have rivals. I have friends. All the other women singers that I know are friends. Nobody's competing. Get off the internet and you won't have rivals either."

Text of a Ten-Minute-Rule Bill calling for an inquiry.

It’s official. I will be introducing a Bill for an independent public inquiry into the UK’s involvement in Israel’s assault on Gaza.

The government must decide: will it support this inquiry, or will it block our efforts to establish the truth?

Same. Feels much more appropriate then Whatever was going on with the Sutekh reveal last year.
Also feels clever because the REAL cliffhanger is that earth is destroyed- Tardis is blowing up. Like an actual tangible stake.
And then you have the character reveal as kind of an add-on.

I don't know what's worse: that Starmer intentionally chose to mimic Enoch Powell, or that he's taken Labour so far to the right that he's repeating fascist rhetoric by accident.

He GETS modern Who. The pacing is tight as hell- nice amount of twists and turns- zippy dialogue -manages to land a few emotional hits -Scary but not macabre… but then after all that what on earth is it trying to communicate? Feel insane if I think about it longer then 5 minutes.

Midnight drop on Dr Who is not enough. They should hide it behind a series of clues. Physically hide a VHS in the wild.

A series of three screenshots from the film "Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade", from the humorous scene where Indy is telling the bad guys that Marcus Brody is multitalented, only to cut to Brody bumbling his way through a crowd. 

The following captions are below each panel 

1. Showing Indy and his father: "Millennials - Generation Alpha are digital natives. They've grown up already using every technology you had to adapt to."

2. A close up on Indy, his father still in the background:
"They know every smartphone, watch 3 screens at once, spend 10 hours a day online. With any luck, they've got the tech skills we need already."

3. Showing Marcus Brody in a crowd of seemingly Middle Eastern people:
"Gen Alpha - Does anyone here know what a c drive is? Is itanapp?"

Love that Dr Who fans will stand for this as well. "It's a nice treat to see it in colour isn't it?" Like, if they released Seven Samurai in Colour, edited down to 20min, with loud comedy music playing over it, that would be rightly, universally clowned on.

10 years, over a hundred episodes and way too many Doctor Whos. We broke canon a couple of times, brought Josh Snares in to play Covid-19 and got banned from at least one university. Who knows where our adventures will bring us next?

The Second Drs regeneration is the biggest example for me. It’s very clearly doing something. It’s horrible, traumatic- an important piece of TV. But now it’s β€œwhoops, looks like they forgot to film the regeneration! We’ll have to fix that it post.” It’s treated the same as McCoy in a wig.

The Dr Who’s IN COLOUR are disappointing because to an extent they push the idea the classic Who is a mistake. They couldn’t make it in colour. They couldn’t make it #epic. But the stark horror of black & white has its own design. It already has an aesthetic, a power.
