The symbolism is a bit heavy-handed imo

Second round of MIRRORS NO. 3 confirms that "minor" Christian Petzold is still better than 99% of all other movies.

Literaturübersetzung am Anschlag.

All time classic

Young Republicans are praising Hitler. Here's why Democrats are to blame.

nothing chatgpt has done is as impressive as akinator, the mind-reading internet genie from 2007

Good timeline moment.

Every one of these "If only it were possible to..." plugs for AI is animated by an incredibly deep resentment of either talent or authorship.

They always start with free speech. It sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? Free speech? And they can use it to shut down anyone who criticises them, because it’s all “free speech” After “free speech” it’s “protecting women and girls” And then it’s whatever they actually wanted.

Taking a perverse glee in scoring the last copy of SHADOW TICKET from the bookshop.

Martin Scorsese having a book club and sending a book he liked to Jennifer Lawrence is such a lovely detail.

Habe mich wieder einmal auf Maximum Cinema ausgebreitet, diesmal über Christian Petzolds wunderbaren MIROIRS NO. 3. www.maximumcinema.ch/miroirs-no-3...

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

The media trots out the "deplorable" comment from a decade ago to castigate the left. Once a week now Trump implies that the military should destroy democrats, and it is just how things are.

Can we stop calling an artificial representation of a person by a human-coded name? "She" does not exist. "She" is a reflection of someone's ingenue dreams, but "she" is pixels and code.

all the news stories you see for "AI" products that seem more like advertisements are exactly that, they're hoping that if they keep astroturfing the idea that "AI" is real and everywhere and unavoidable it will eventually become true

a heartwarming story of how being an unethical and talentless hack is no barrier to success when you are willing to endlessly flatter the wretched views of rich dipshits

We're getting a wave of articles that are like, "gee willikers it sure seems like the people who complained about 'cancel culture' for years really like canceling people." Yes! This was extremely obvious at the time and a lot of us pointed it out!

Genuinely incredible branding this was

Just having a moment reflecting on what a ridiculous state we're in, where the president is making "deals" with private universities by personally meddling in federally allocated education and research funding and this is being treated as just ordinary politics.

TFW you're coming out of another bloated prestige drama. #ZFF

The "liberals have to learn how to live with people we diagree with" line kinda stops making sense in a world where the central disagreement is whether disagreeing with them should be allowed at all

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".

I'm sorry, but this is comically awful casting.

Faschisten

The rebranding of reactionary gender and biological essentialism as “heterodox and challenging ideas to which liberal students must be exposed” is one of the greatest achievements of our stupid era. Congratulations to the reactionary centrists who helped make it happen - you dupes, you utter dolts.

A thousand words on Guillermo del Toro's FRANKENSTEIN, why not. letterboxd.com/alanmattli/f...

one of the funniest scenes in movie history a ton of literal throat clearing and preamble saying absolutely nothing, only to cut away right when real information is about to be shared “You know, that was an excellent speech you gave us, Heywood. I’m sure it beefed up morale a hell of a lot.”

I’ve been a part of multiple news orgs covering Trump for the last 10+ years, and yes, those outlets are on the left, but there’s just no need to constantly clean up his language. It’s bad journalism. Just quote what he says and does! Tell the truth!

Your reminder that Trump is unpopular and his regime isn't some unsinkable battleship but a clown car with tank treads.

Ross's "conservatives must be above informal judgment, or else" goes hand in hand with Trump's "conservatives must be above the law, or else". If society will not accommodate them in all their unpleasantness, will not "say thank you", they would choose a state of nature & the war of all against all.

Shoutout to whoever designed the torrent website in the "You wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy clip.

That doesn't really seem to matter to them though, does it. They decided it was trans people to blame. Not any one in particular, just the mere existence of trans people. Absolutely nothing to back that up, but it doesn't matter. They don't care about truth. Only extermination.

entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster

I would love for a single democrat to reckon with the fact that conservatives are not in fact motivated by reasonable concerns. They are — just as they were with ‘concerns’ over blacks and gays and numerous other minorities over the last five decades — motivated by bigotry.

Exactly this

Huh wow turns out the people who wanted to misgender and deadname trans people and use racist slurs never cared about free speech, they just wanted to misgender and deadname trans people and use racist slurs

Faschismus. Die öffentliche Sphäre wird gesäubert. Social Media kommt als Nächstes.

i hope nobody still accepts the bullshit "to appeal to more voters" framing. rich people are spending money to push the politics they favor, it has absolutely nothing to do with electability

Remember literally three years ago, when centrist pundits claimed that the trans backlash was really just a wonky debate over the correct medical standards for children? Fast-forward to today and you have members of Congress calling for ALL trans people to be seized and held incommunicado

I only just learned of the BBC's "List of Top 100 Britons" from 2002, and somehow, J. K. Rowling being on it isn't even among the most deranged things about it. www.bbc.com/pressoffice/...

relevant life lesson from comics on this one

Please do not do this! Chatbots merely collect things other people are saying, regardless of whether they are true! We need actual expert input, not speculation laundered into fact
