Everybody worried about Netflix buying Warner Bros… like that deal is EVER going to go thru once Paramount’s CEO goes whaa-whaa’ing to his Daddy Trump and complains that the nasty streaming service bought the company HE wanted, make it stop, Daddy. πŸ™„

I swear, 2025 is the weirdest timeline.

Oh, hopefully, Tay and her team are too busy at the moment, preparing their case to sue that AI animator into the earth's core.

This is a quote from the article summing up both studies in Technology Review: "A multi-university team of researchers has found that chatting with a politically biased AI model was more effective than political advertisements at nudging both Democrats and Republicans to support presidential candidates of the opposing party. The chatbots swayed opinions by citing facts and evidence, but they were not always accurateβ€”in fact, the researchers found, the most persuasive models said the most untrue things."

Two independent studies found that AI chatbots were better at persuading voters than political ads. The most persuasive bots also lied the most. This is something that humans working in psyops have known for decades. AI is psyops at scale. www.technologyreview.com/2025/12/04/1...

New recycling tech recovers nearly pure nickel and cobalt from old EV batteries Researchers have developed an eco-friendly recycling tech that extracts 99 percent pure nickel and cobalt from waste batteries.

If anyone cares at all, EV battery recycling is now hitting 99% recovery for important metals

Please remind me again what the recycle rate for fossil fuels is

Goddamn it, we really are losing all the great ones at the moment, aren’t we? I first saw Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa properly in Rising Sun and was bowled over by his charm and screen presence back then - takes something to steal a screen from Connery and Snipes, Tagawa did it with silky ease. RIP, sir.

There’s also the not-so-small matter of if they’d actually get paid in full at the end of the whole ordeal.

This is entirely Peach's choice. If it was up to Marvel, she would be doing a hundred books a month.

Ultimate X-Men was the first monthly book she has ever done, and it drained her. I don't expect she will do another one for awhile. Probably more one shots and limited series, I would imagine.

I still have Spotify, for my sins, and we used it a LOT to soundtrack Dad getting up and joining us downstairs with a playlist of Rat Pack, Easy Listening and Crooners, played pretty much every day. Safe to say, my Spotify Wrapped is throwing up a lot of emotions for me this week.

I used to be a fan of Richard Dawkins, JK Rowling, and Graham Linehan.
