I'm not sure I've ever seen anything with a larger disconnect between the executive class and the general public than AI - there have been cases where executives want to push something they know is unpopular, but on AI it's like the backlash hasn't penetrated their bubble at all

he was good at his job, his job was explicitly to destroy things so they'd be acquired and shareholders would make a bunch of money this isn't an incompetent getting a payday, it's the guy who planned the heist getting the biggest cut

'Kills children after 2 days of use' was the kind of thing that would end a product back in the day

“There are no jobs” “Which means they’re only hiring minorities!” “Nobody’s hiring anyone” “Which is all the minorities’ fault!” “The billionnaires are literally trying to eliminate the concept of employment” “Can’t talk now, too busy painting hate symbols on my house”

Had the three Dems who voted for this held the line and voted no, they could have blocked it.

One thing I do like about this move is that the Oscars won't necessarily need to conform to a runtime that fits television anymore.

The Oscars will stream exclusively on YouTube, starting in 2029.

and of that 90%, 79% were white men but yes, tell me again how women and people of colour are taking all the jobs? and tell me again how women and people of colour are told to do labs and shadow schemes over and over while men are literally handed all the actual opportunities

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Agreed. The brutality of it, the IMMEDIATE politicization and weaponization of it from the goddamned leader of the "free world". They were good people, doing good things. It shows the rot of everything.

Besides just being horrendous — besides violating the Animation Guild contract we just negotiated saying there would be no Union job replacement with AI there — this is optically so bad for Disney. They are destroying themselves as a company. For what? Sam Altman’s theft project? What is Iger on?!

Oh my GOD

We could all name some names. 👀 What's always bothered me is the arrogance that people who NEED A JOB can always afford to wait and be on the hook for months and months to hear back on rejection or not. It's abusive, people shouldn't have to wait months if they need to work *now* to eat *now*.

I am losing my mind DO ANY OF THESE JOURNALISTS KNOW THAT VENEZUELA IS NOT ON THE PACIFIC THAT THE CARIBBEAN SEA DOES NOT TOUCH THE PACIFIC THAT IN FACT THIS IS WHAT THE PANAMA CANAL WAS BUILT FOR WTF IS THE EASTERN PACIFIC PLEASE LOOK AT A MAP

I'm going to do my best to alt text this because holy crap, everyone should know.

This is why everyone hates the Labour Party. It's nothing to do with 'comms' or not using TikTok. It's because they think people dying to defend deeply held principles is just *hilarious*.

It bums me out that our society has decided art and artists are not valuable.

When 97% is 'no clear consensus', and 52% is 'the will of the people', it's time to face facts that Governments do what Governments want to do regardless of what their people actually want.

John Oliver really was not kidding about the overwhelming rebellious power of just saying “Fuck you, make me.”

The Maleficent and Cruella movies were already goddamn pointless and this idea is even MORE goddamn pointless. Gaston was already a brilliant subversion of the "mighty hero" trope. He's the kind of character who would've been the main good guy in most movies. deadline.com/2025/12/disn...

2026 is gonna be my year

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

"The work that client firms are settling for is not better when it’s produced by AI, but it’s cheaper, and deemed 'good enough.'” This is exactly what I feared. Not that AI would replace good writing (it can't), but that good writing would cease to be valued

The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party. Was never a problem for Jeremy Clarkson. Was never a problem for Andrew Neil. Was never a problem for Alan Sugar

Hi all! I'm casting my paid mockumentary about YouTube drama culture ($500 CAD, about 3-4 minutes of dialogue, self-tape from home). Looking for a trans woman to play JENNA, an indie TTRPG creator whose Kickstarter blows up and then falls apart. Details + sides: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
