The Movie of the Year Is Here Paul Thomas Anderson’s new movie is a masterpiece years in the making that’s somehow arrived right on time.

One Battle After Another, a Thomas Pynchon adaptation that Paul Thomas Anderson has dreamed of making for decades, is his first real action movie, a raunchy, funny, pulse-pounding thriller w/ Leo DiCaprio as a burnout revolutionary in a fascist dystopia that's all too real.

Screenshot of a paragraph from N+1 piece linked in the post: "But a still graver scandal of AI--like its hydra-headed sibling, cryptocurrency--is the technology's colossal wastefulness. The untold billions firehose by investors into its development; the water-guzzling data centers draining the parched exurbs of Phoenix and Dallas, the yeti-size carbon footprint of the sector as a whole--and for what? A cankerous glut of racist memes and cardboard essays. Not only is the ratio of AI's resource rapacity to its productive utility indefensibly and irremediably skewed, AI-made material is itself a waste product: flimsy, shoddy, disposable, a single-use plastic of the mind."

I live in rural east central AB where it's not creeping anti-vaccine rhetoric, it's galloping. And actively encouraged by the govt's decision to make the covid vax more expensive/harder to get, and apparently requiring signup even for the flu vaccine. A sad and dangerous disavowal of public health.

We did see this coming. We warned institutions, organized medical bodies, and government agencies.

We were not only largely ignored and abandoned, with no one seeming to take the threat seriously, but we were subject to lawfare, attacked, and our careers and livelihoods threatened.

We were right.

Paging Canada: Your future doctors are fleeing the U.S. Before the US election, my wife and I talked about moving to Canada. 2 days after, we put the wheels in motion.
