Almost everyone includes a carve-out that AI is useful in highly controlled, monitored areas like medical research but otherwise, this is an industry whose input costs are so colossal it can only be profitable with universal mandatory adoption AND subsidized utilities. Radioactive forever, sorry

We all make end of history jokes but a genuine prerequisite for being in the Democratic Party outside a depressingly small minority really is believing that politics ended with Bill Clintonâs 1992 platform

In its own way Parade is as fascinating a whittling down of an avalanche of creative energy AND a personal crisis as SOTT. He obv broke up the Revolution for a lot of petty reasons but he also really pushed that band as far as it could go conceptually at warp speed.

Iâve owned the Blu-ray of the 2014 Paris production of Einstein on the Beach for a good while but itâs hard to carve out five hours. Finally watched it while allowing myself the same freedom to roam and zone out the show gives a live crowd and emerged somehow even more awed by the work.

âSucculent Chinese mealâ speech added to Australiaâs National Film and Sound Archive
Jack Karlsonâs rallying cry of âdemocracy manifestâ added to national collection of sound recordings that hold historical, cultural and aesthetic significance * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast Thirty-five years ago, when Jack Karlson was hauled into a police car outside a Chinese restaurant in Queensland, he couldnât have known his bombastic speech would be watched by millions around the world, become a meme and now, be preserved for ever in Australiaâs National Film and Sound Archive. Karlsonâs declaration â âGentlemen, this is democracy manifest! ⊠What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?â â is one of nine pieces of audio that have been added to the NFSAâs Sounds of Australia collection this year, along with a pedestrian crossing signal and Missy Higginsâ 2004 hit Scar.

Depending on your library (as always), Kanopy may currently offer Mark Rappaportâs remarkable, unclassifiable FROM THE JOURNALS OF JEAN SEBERG, starring Hurt as SebergâŠsort of. One of the best films I saw in 1996, highly recommended.

Blackest Night on paper is so much that I hate (linewide crossover, zombies, glorified excuse to bring back what dead characters hadnât already been resurrected) but it was done so well across the board. At the opposite end: Final Crisis is a masterpiece and all the tie ins were BAFFLED

Been waiting for more than two years for a physical video of Killers of the Flower Moon to rewatch and yep, it remains the most unsettling film in Scorseseâs filmography of debased, destructive humanity. De Niro has never been more evil and he once played the literal Devil.

I think Iâm decently familiar with most of the major imperial declines/collapses, at least on a tidy Wiki summary level, and at this point the only remote point of comparison I can think of for a self-destruction this major AND unforced is Muhammad II of Khwarazm killing Genghis Khanâs emissaries

Everyone who works for the NYT â including my many friends â should be incredibly embarrassed by this statement. The depths to which the NYT will go to back its agenda of challenging trans people's right to exist is horrifying, ongoing, and has caused very real and specific harms to trans people.
