Post a banger not in English. youtu.be/-qHfMSvMQAk?...

Ahh good to know! On a similar note: Materialists is also not a romcom imho, though was marketed as such. Def a romantic drama (romdram?)

Ha yes, that's the one I meant!

Rye Lane (a new modern romcom classic IMHO), Bridget Jones 3, and I've not seen Pillion but it's suppoed to be terrific?

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Second time in 3 days I’m posting this Vonnegut quote wrt AI.

I hope folks grasp the fascistic resentment underpinning this shit, and the fact that there is nothing these AI robber barons would like more than to automate human creativity because they resent it and wish to devalue, own, and control it and us.

Why is every scandal existential for Starmer? Because he has actively worked to eradicate his own support base. And that, along with the Mandelson decision, can be laid at McSweeney's door iandunt.substack.com/p/starmers-m...

they should do a winter Olympics for cowards. slowest ski down a green slope, best ice skating with one of those big plastic penguins, most extravagant hot chocolate order at the bar après ski, that kind of thing

The thread from Mandelson to Epstein, Thiel and Putin is one that needs pulling till the whole tapestry of lies comes undone.

Once again take the lid off "AI" and it's "cheap" labour from the global south...

Two important things:
1) after tomorrow the sun will not set before 5pm again in the UK…until October
2) if you’re struggling just now *please* be kind to yourself

There's exactly one normal man left on planet Earth.

It’s very sweet and cute that he not only planed to have lil kids there and then rolls so well with the lil kids being lil kids but I have to know whose idea the lil podium was

New fuck/marry/kill list just dropped

Amen.

For those keeping score at home:

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Grok didn’t generate these. Men told Grok to. Words matter.

"This is what the systems of power, influence and money in creative spheres do: They are structures that place supposed Great Artists or powerful rainmakers beyond the realm of accountability, humility, responsibility and consequences." - @moryan.bsky.social

I’d say the advent of AI is a very good time to stress what humans can do really well. To argue for added value. To re-monetise the craft and skills and inspiration that will never be algorithmically replicable. To differentiate humans from machines, and monetise that gap.

yo, upcoming Actor's Award and Oscar winners...

...your music industry peers are teaching you a lesson or two tonight about speaking out for whats right

Imagine telling Bad Bunny, who grew up working class in a small town in Puerto Rico, he's not in a position to lecture on the plight of migrants.

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

There Is No Safe Word How the best-selling fantasy author Neil Gaiman hid the darkest parts of himself for decades.

apropos of nothing in particular, @lilashapiro.bsky.social gave us a tremendous piece of journalism last year, and it's always a great time to revisit it and thank her for the work she did in bringing these stories to light.

Time for a break from rich people getting away with everything with the help of pliant politicians, I'm going to watch the finale of series 2 of The Night Manager...

No, because it wouldn't be them, and no, because it's a fraud on the grieving.
