Challenging the audience is hard and risky. There's much higher returns in giving them and endless stream of personalized content that will tell them exactly what they want to hear, in between ad placements of course.

When will Mamdani finally take accountability for all of Eric Adam’s bribes?

Shhhh, if we get them hooked they'll be too busy to do fascism.

It was inevitable that we'd find a way of bringing drone striking children to the home front.

Alcoholism can lead to drunk driving and abuse, but it doesn't absolve any responsibility for doing it or the resulting harm. However, seeking treatment for alcoholism is an objectively good first step towards taking some accountability for those actions.

They are great to park under. Who doesn't want to park in the shade?

Just the existence of an algo that optimizes for engagement will eventually do this. Our little monkey brains freak out when they perceive something is being taken from them or they are confronted by the unknown. 'Immigrants taking stuff' is optimized reaction bait turbocharged by algos.

We really lost something when shows went from 22ep to 11ep seasons. Used to be you could have a couple entire episodes dedicated to a really silly premise.

If I stop replying to people, do I die?

They reminded me of Sucker Punch, where it felt like ideas were just being pulled randomly from a hat.

At least Michael Bay knows he's Michael Bay. Zack Snyder is like a Michael Bay who thinks he's Christopher Nolan.

I wonder if they'd have the same opinion if a dem president eliminated ICE.

(I'm not actually wondering, I already know the answer. These ghouls are past caring about hypocrisy)

Totally, Grummz does the same thing. He's the EULA guy but somehow boasted his way into getting millions in investment money to launch and lead a studio. It's such a narcissism thing to fail upwards, propelled by nothing but unearned self confidence.

What's funny to me is neither of them were really game developers at Blizzard, Grummz created the EULA for wow and PirateSoftware was on security.

It's like taking an accountant at Disney and holding him up as an authority on cinematography.

I'm so glad the next generation has their 'Mr Rodgers'.

Hot take: this level of weaponized ignorance is everywhere thanks to social algo induced brain rot. The US is just more vulnerable to the brain rot achieving power because our political structure restricts us to two parties and enables minority rule.

When exactly did Politico turn into whatever this is?

It's all fun and games until you accidentally lick your enamel paint brush.

I worry this is going to turn into Trump's Putin pivot. Where he uses the power of the state to outright steal the resources of oligarchs that don't fall into line. I won't cry for Elon, but if Trump can loot the richest man in the world, he no longer has to pretend to be held to any norm.

And they are never getting that damn flag back. We maintain a bipartisan tradition of our governors telling Virginia's governors to go pound sand.

If this eventually has some good raster image editing and scripting capabilities, this could solve a big pain point in my production pipeline.

Apple is singlehandedly holding up sci-fi content on streaming. Who else is even coming close?

We export natural gas, we import oil. Semi-trucks and container ships don't run on natural gas. If crude oil supplies get cut, everything is going to get much more expensive very quickly.

You have no idea how far it went. I saw "Freedom Ticklers".

It's so utterly depressing having seen Bush lie our way into Iraq as a teenager, knowing full well it was BS then, and now at 40 watching the exact same process unfold for Iran. We can't even go 4 years without a pointless war with no exit plan.

Michael Bay should just have cameras rolling at every SpaceX event to get B-roll.

I'm doing my part every time I order poutine.

The girlies coordinated matching outfits and everything. They should have bedazzled their shields while they were at it.

For me, it's less fatigue and more a lack of faith that any of their series are going to be worth watching. So many look promising, but the story and dialog make CW DCU writing look good.

Two possibilities that I believe can be simultaneously true:

Media analysis is completely dead outside of maybe 10% of the population.

Many of the choices going into that parade were a form of malicious compliance.
