The official thumbnail for this short film is also very nice.

I was like “why is this trailer so much more amazing than it has any right to be” and then I got to the end and the credits said “screenplay by @clmazin.bsky.social” so, mystery solved youtu.be/ZfNLApPCa8E

Oh to be a little Tardigrade walking across a microscopic slide. 🫧🐻🧪

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.

Like some kind of zombie cockroach, THE BAN ON STATE AI REGULATIONS IS BACK FROM THE DEAD!! 🪦 Please call your senators and rep NOW and tell them no state AI regulation ban!! A cheat sheet of who to call, scripts of what to say here: tinyurl.com/msa69nkv

Zach has done a great job bringing a lot of resources, sample scripts, etc on how to call your senators AND representatives to urge them to vote NO on the AI moratorium in the NDAA! Check em out! Btw I thought at first, it was only Senators we needed to call. Please call your representatives too!

Here’s @realgdt.bsky.social in NYC expanding on his rallying cry of ‘fuck AI!’, talking about how art and even love come from shared pain and movies can save your life. This shit made me and others in the audience cry as much as his version of Frankenstein…

A Goofy Movie was my first ever film credit. The Sydney studio animated a few sequences. I inbetweened the final shot!

The main achievement of the tech industry has been increasing the flow of money from people who make or do things to people who already have more money than they could spend in a hundred lifetimes

There's so little for teens at the box office that Netflix released a movie that had been streaming for two months already and it still made $18M in just one weekend. KPOP DEMON HUNTERS is a great example of doing it right in 2025.

PIVOT!!

Really want to encourage libraries - especially school libraries - to put no-AI content into your collection development policy. At the very least, if you have a clause in there about requiring accurate information, you can use that to weed out or prevent genAI purchases.

Author and filmmaker Justine Bateman on generative AI

The most important human story in the entertainment industry right now is the severe downturn in film and TV production in LA and how it's affecting middle-class crew workers. I spoke to dozens of them for this story about the depressed Hollywood economy. www.wsj.com/business/med...

So this is a very, very desperate move - a very silly app of generative AI slop that will be incredibly expensive for OpenAI to run, and on top of it, they're requiring rights holders to *opt out* once they see violations. You can't do it in advance. They're washed, and trying everything to survive.

"single-use plastic of the mind" had me GAGGED

This has been pushed to the background, but pay attention: Right now, a stack of bills aimed at reining in AI companies and big tech sits on Gavin Newsom's desk in California. These are the bills Silicon Valley and the GOP tried to ban outright. Now they await Newsom's signature—or veto.

not sure I'll ever get tired of Drunken Master II, one of the best Jackie Chan movies - and one of the best actioners - ever made

Union strong✊

if DoorDash is asking me to veto a bill "to keep delivery affordable," I'm pretty sure that means I should write in to make sure the bill gets approved

"KPop Demon Hunters" is now the most-streamed movie in Netflix history (236 million views). variety.com/2025/film/ne...

It’s funny to be so committed to your anti-theater approach you can’t brag you have the number one movie in America (but let’s see if they decide to tout it come Monday)

In the story of the summer, Netflix just scored its first-ever No. 1 at the U.S. box office with 'KPop Demon Hunters,' a two-month-old film that has already been streamed 300 million times. www.cartoonbrew.com/feature-film...
