Trump Claims ‘Rebellion’ in American Cities

I spoke with The Daily about the judiciary's response to Trump's attempt to deploy the National Guard into US cities, and the question of whether simply declaring a "rebellion" makes it so, for legal purposes: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/08/p...

A lot of """"creatives"""" have seemingly accepted generative AI as part of art and filmmaking and I'm hear to say you're all big stinky phonies and I hate you

Every one of these passes is a persons job, by the way. Coverage should be done by a person. REVISIONS SHOULD BE DONE BY A PERSON. CONTINUITY?!? THAT SHOULD BE A PERSON’S JOB.

As someone who has a literal college degree in screenwriting…fuck

Jason Blum's take on AI sucks. an AI takeover isn't inevitable, and treating it as such (while also referring to filmmaking as "content creation," smdh) helps AI companies promote the lie that their deeply unprofitable, destructive tech is more powerful and useful than it actually is.

Moedas fala de aumento de 60% das violações no Martim Moniz — mas afinal não foi no Martim Moniz "Por exemplo hoje, para uma jovem mulher, ir ao Martim Moniz… O número de violações aumentaram! Mas aumentaram exponencialmente, 60%! As violações na cidade aum

I feel like we all need to promise to shame anyone who tries to post clips of this nonsense

“O Chega vai acabar com vocês todos” Os valores de Kirk, que Ventura diz perfilhar, são: combate aos cidadãos transgénero; negacionismo da Covid-19; proibição total do aborto; denúncia de professores que não partilhem as suas ideias.

"O que se está a passar 'em nome da liberdade de expressão' e contra 'a política de cancelamento' – uma frase que a direita atribuía à esquerda – é apenas um regresso ao passado das ditaduras, de qualquer sentido político, que sempre quiseram calar a oposição.

THE LAST OF US: Convergence - Tom + Lorenzo Okay, let's start with this: barring a total plummet in quality, we're in it to the end with The Last of Us, even if we have to grimly set our jaws to do

#TheLastofUs bungled its second season by trying to split the difference between gameplay and storytelling in awkward, unsatisfying ways. Our review of the finale (click for more):

Noah Wyle Was Nearing a ‘Nervous Breakdown.’ Then Came ‘The Pitt’: It’s ‘Infuriating We Can’t Come to a Consensus’ on Masks and Vaccines Noah Wyle didn't want to play a doctor again after his 15 years on "ER." Then came COVID and "The Pitt."

#ThePitt star Noah Wyle: “I find it infuriating that we still can’t come to a consensus that masks cut down on transmission of disease. I find it infuriating that we still won’t acknowledge that vaccines are an important way of eradicating disease.” wp.me/pc8uak-1lFErS

Gaza on brink of catastrophe as aid runs out and prices soar, groups warn Palestinians face starvation and severe malnutrition as Israel’s blockade continues, say aid agencies Soaring prices of basic foodstuffs, diminishing stocks of medical supplies and sharp cuts to aid distribution threaten newly catastrophic conditions across Gaza, Palestinians and international aid officials in the battered territory are warning.
