AI being shoved down our throats everywhere is exhausting, but I believe it's genuinely a positive signal. Tech companies aren't doing this because it's successful technology that is making them money. They're doing it because it's not and they're not. This is an extinction burst, not real growth.

One thing I've been doing for my mental health is watching people (on YT) watch my fav movies for the 1st time.

Watching a gaggle of dudes in their 20s discover My Neighbor Totoro, or your average (not screenwriter-brained) couple watch and discuss The Blair Witch Project is eye-opening &wholesome.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

They are called writers

Keep in mind that this is someone who - while making a film about a man who brought a steamboat through the Andes - actually brought a steamboat through the Andes.

He also immediately bought into the maga lie that lib women have been pounding Tylenol out of spite, and dying by the hundreds. One dumb asshole can make up a silly story on tiktok, and a day later he's parroting it without any critical thought or the briefest verification to his idiot army.

A text-based adventure game playing on an emulator. I've deliberately cut out the number of moves displayed because I'm ashamed. The game window says; "KITCHEN > put carton in microwave Done. > press start Nothing happens, as there's no time set on it yet. > set 30 seconds I don't know the word "seconds." > set 1 This has no effect. > press 1 The timer display now reads 0:01. > press 1:00 Why don't you try setting the timer to that? > set microwave timer to 1:00 You can't see any microwave timer here. > | "

Lmao this bitch

(Spoiler; I overcooked the carton.)

I think every kid is in a hurry to grow up. As long as they're given the space to play and be their age still, there's no harm, right?

Cooking is a great thing to be curious about, too! :)

YouTube video by PDS News Clips AI Actress Tilly Norwood “Scarlett Johansson” Situation Is Worse Than You Think

We dont fuckin want it, Eline. #filmsky

AI "actress," "Tilly Norwood," gives me the ICK-- and so do her "handlers," or whatever you call them. Generators?

"She'll do anything I say, I'm already in love." 🤢

YouTube video by Parkrose Permaculture Trump tells Tina Kotek it’s “his people” who are mistaken about Portland, not him

Is it really that hard to believe that Turmp is being manipulated with AI generated "news" that he's then responding to with the power of his position?

I recently met a person that has never interacted with a cat, and I think that's the closest I'll ever come to meeting an alien.

The way she watched my cats, she was so unsure of them. My cats must've noticed, because they wouldn't leave her alone.

Then one stole a french fry, & she lost her mind.

This is the guy that has to have his teenage son keep him off porn, right?

Where's Anonymous? Anyone peeking into this guy's devices would be White Hat, for sure.

True!

As a (white) progressive, it's so easy to get caught up in what we're losing-- but can you imagine navigating this chaos and facing daily reminders like this, of the things you never had?

Like being seen as a human, an equal, in the eyes of powerful white men?

Shoot, not me! I used to (10 years ago) get 5 reads out of every 15 queries. These days, it's 2 out of 50!

Yesss the Dreamcast! A totally slept-on console. Over and over again, Sega was just ahead of its time.

I get passed on with scripts with placements, too. Out of 350+ gig submissions, I've been upped to "In Consideration" maybe 20 times-- and only reached out to twice, both of which were scams.
Are the 4 free contest entries per year worth the subscription fee? Because that's the main draw imo.

My 5yo has been obsessed with Yokai Watch since she was a baby, so for every xmas & birthday, I'd import toys & merch from Japan.

Then the idiot businessman wrecking the economy put tariffs on small parcels, so I have to get creative this year.

I got started early and handmade her a kappa.

"Tariffs aren't taxes," they said.
"The foreign countries pay the tariffs," they said.
"The big companies will pay the tariffs, and won't increase prices for Americans," they said.

Is it a coincidence that no one is hiring except for ICE?

Does anyone else miss the way movies in the 80s/90s usually produced soundtracks with songs that were actually in the movie?

Every year I'm so ready for cozy sweaters and space heater season, but I know the moment I pack up my summer bedding and swap it for the winter stuff, we're going to get a bullshit week of 90 degree nights.

The transition between seasons always feels like it lasts longer than the season.

The more he screams "Tylenol," the more we scream "Epstein Files."

a man in a green and blue jacket is holding a piece of chocolate cake and says should i be scared Alt: A person in a cool ass windbreaker holding a mystery loaf asks "should I be scared?"

Anyone else getting emails from FilmFreeway-partnered film festivals you've never heard of saying "your work caught our eye," and "we'd like to offer a special discount code"?

They accidentally emailed my partner (not a screenwriter) looking for me. Idk how they got his info.

The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece.

It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile.

It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd.

Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.
