AI evangelists are archetypal "Ideas Guys". The ones who are convinced they've come up with the best movie/comic/game concept ever, but just need actual talented people to make it for them. The inevitable lack of interest from creatives is, in their mind, the reason they've never succeeded.

I was invited to a special interactive screening of Bloodlines and given a plus one and i was just like…theres not a single person whose presence i would want to invite the energy of this franchise into, let alone my own. It’s a hard pass.

I enjoyed Final Destination, but when Final Destination 2 came out, I was graduating from high school and they killed a bunch of graduating seniors in the movie and i just got so sick and sad and never watched another horror movie again until Get Out. That series has serious energy around it ❌

Antivaxx and libertarianism are the same--they can exist only when the majority of the population buys in to what it takes to live in a society, allowing the minority to think they are outsiders thriving on their own exceptionalism.

Nothing But a Man is definitely worth a watch. And now, as ever, is the time to do it.

We Still Need to Defund and Abolish the Police "Defund the Police" came into the spotlight during the 2020 George Floyd uprisings. Despite what conservatives and pro-police propagandists say, "defund" never happened. But it should—because the poli...

5 years after George Floyd's murder, don't forget that abolition was always the right call. Dismantle the infrastructure that arrests, surveils, beats, cages, and kills and build a society that takes care of our human needs and allows everyone to thrive. 1/4

Kneecap say terrorism charge is ‘political policing’ Northern Irish trio say charge against Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh is intended to stifle criticism of Israel’s war in Gaza

He says “14 thousand babies are about to die from malnutrition while food sits behind a wall and you acuse me of terrorism” Haven’t heard this band’s music but I will start listening now

Death of a Cybertruck Salesman: How Trump Killed Tesla Schadenfreude is a bargain at $5.60 per mile.

The anti-Tesla movement is one of the most successful cases of social coordination in American history. In the span of six months the Tesla brand has been made radioactive.

This isn’t a subjective view. You can see it in the data.

Any call for aid to enter Gaza without an explicit demand for a ceasefire, withdrawal, an end to bombardment, and accountability is not a courageous or bold moral stance worth celebrating. Aid is meaningless if our children are getting killed, whether they’re full or hungry.

Sending you love in your recovery. May whatever you see as justice come to be ✨
