"The students who cannot read a 20-pg article today are the voters who will not be able to read a bill or the jurors who cannot follow a closing argument, tomorrow." The most important argument against AI in education is that it's incompatible with a free society. www.chronicle.com/article/my-s...

Celebrate Pride Month with new images from Chainsaw Awards alumni Brendan Haley's LGBTQ horror film SCORCH MARKS.

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

I would like to thank @clarkewolfe.bsky.social for teaching me all of the horror tropes so that I can laugh my ass off at so much stuff that shows up in Widow’s Bay.

You’ve heard of Backrooms yes, but have you heard of my new passion project Shaqrooms?

No discussion of Hollywood is complete without discussing this revolting trend. The people who make what art are running out of places to work, and their slices of pie are being handed to useless, out of touch executives.

Beginning in 1934, the Reich Minister for Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, never denied the existence of concentration camps, instead he defended them as necessary to defend the blood and honor of the German people from murderers, rapists, pedophiles and drug dealers.

so like lemme weigh in on this as someone who is more financially comfortable than many in my generational cohort: everything I have gained seems precarious and temporary because I know the people with real money will take it all from me the second they get an opportunity and no one will protect me.

look how they massacred my boy

Went to an anti AI datacentre protest march today and a friend of mine got a picture that summed it all up

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

pretty crazy how blatant the ending of the late show is just an act of government censorship lol

Altman’s whole self-admitted business model is, he needs to steal*our* IP for his product to work & he also needs bailouts for his product to continue to exist. And he also needs consumption of his product to be mandatory. He’s just the world’s biggest welfare recipient. And he’s all of them.

Tonight we congratulate our friend Stephen Colbert and his writers, staff and crew for eleven years of excellence. Watch Colbert’s finale tonight, and then never watch CBS again.

Nicolas Cage will be back in LONGLEGS 2. He tells The Hollywood Reporter in a new chat, "I guess you could say I have the pride of ownership of that character. That character is personal to me because I was influenced by my mom. So if they’re gonna do it, you’re doing it with me."

The idea that a data center would be allowed anywhere near California, a state facing historic water shortages for years now, is truly, bafflingly batshit crazy. They shouldn’t be allowed *anywhere* but I really don’t know what we’re doing here.

Brilliant title and premise. I’m honestly mad I didn’t think of it myself! 🤣

this is one of the jolliest, most benevolent paparazzi photos I have ever seen in my life - Spielberg somehow just emanating pure concentrated good vibes

...also, before the day gets away from us, I think it's important to note on behalf of internet lore, queer lore, and general pop culture that on May 5th, 2006..."Shoes" made its debut. Happy 20th Anniversary, Kelly!

what makes the SCOTUS Gang of Six acting as an unaccountable super-legislature especially intolerable is that they are not just setting up unfavorable rules, they are playing Calvinball where they selectively apply the rules case-by-case exclusively to help Republicans. A judicial dictatorship

The loudmouth who threatened to destroy an entire civilization feels threatened by pictures of seashells.

This👇🏽 deserves to be posted 100 times but I’d be labeled spam.

I was in New York this weekend and breaking news: we’re smoking again! This was a fun read.

Found an instagram account for the MINDHUNTER art department. Set photography, behind-the-scenes, stuff like that. Man, what a good-looking show. www.instagram.com/mindhunterar...

This is the journalism I care about! Just one more reason I love my NY MAG subscription.

nobody puts baby in a corner.

Now that THE BOYS is back, I must step onto my soap box to shout that Chace Crawford is the low key MVP of this show. His performance is a masterclass in comedy and when you notice he’s mostly acting opposite CG fish or Noir, who doesn’t speak, it’s that much better.

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

Pete Hegseth quoted Pulp Fiction during a religious service in the Pentagon. The line from PF is a made up Bible passage. You know the one. Parody is dead. Read the first sentence again and ask how it’s not an Onion headline www.yahoo.com/news/article...

This is quite simply how it's done. We are in this mess in part because Democrats wouldn't even entertain the notion of this most basic step one.

Magyar won with an emphasis on corruption and the rule of law. Good lessons. It wasn't just "we will improve the economy". It was "these people are stealing from you and we will put them in jail."

Your vote matters.

It's not punishment to say that someone with power who has abused that power doesn't get to get more power. That's a consequence. Some of you are truly ridiculous.

Could be worse. We could have had a woman president.

one of the things I treasure most about writing is it is one of the vanishingly few remaining pursuits that involves sitting quietly with your own thoughts—something the entire tech industry has mobilized to ensure we never do again

I think a 20 minute session of doing an expressionist painting of Bert was the break down I needed to have today.

CEO blames current round of layoffs on record profits

LFG

I can't recall a time when more talented reporters and writers on movies and culture who have real skill and knowledge are struggling to find a foothold. We live in an "Everyone's an expert" era. But everyone isn't. Editors: Please take a chance on folks you haven't tried before. Read their clips!

We tried to get funding to TSA workers SEVEN times. Republicans blocked them all. Don’t let them tell you this isn’t their fault.

Really cannot overstate how bonkers the heat wave out West is. Just obliterating records. 🧪

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

A film not reflecting your personal experience back to you is actually a good thing.

People like this are truly the worst.

Sinners deserves Best Cinematographer simply for the fact that it's a modern movie where you can tell what's going on during all the night scenes
