“And though generative A.I. was trained on the work of human creators, so were you: Every show you’ve watched, every script you’ve read, surely left its mark. You have no cause to apologize.” If I have to explain the flaw in this logic, you are too fucked to fix. 🖕

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Hard to blame the Democrats for the shutdown when you're in charge of all 3 branches of government, plus the Supreme Court.

TITLE: LIFE IN A VACUUM INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY ROCKY, a black mutt with white paws and muzzle, gnaws on a TENNIS BALL on a RUG at the foot of a SOFA. Dappled sunlight filters through an open window illuminating SPECKS OF DUST floating in the air. A VACUUM stands in the corner.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

It slaps, as the kids say. Pigeons of Paradise - an animated feature. A lean 94 pages. Structurally sound. So excited about this one.

For like 20 years Wall Street’s tried to punish Costco for ‘overpaying’ employees & refusing to raise prices just to gouge customers, despite healthy profits. They’re like the one company that’s proof if you succeed at capitalism somewhat fairly it’s still not enough for these fucking vampires.
