A lot of people are quoting this post and that's good because they should, AI sucks and robs us of something special and only mediocre uncreative piss-babies rely on it to make anything at all, fuck AI, p.s. Emma Thompson is now the president, sorry, that's just how it is

This got me thinking about Myrna Loy, who, although she did go on to many great performances, I'll always think of her as Nora Charles. There was, however, in 1932, one real dog of a film that she was sorry she signed on for. 1/4

I never got around to seeing any of the Conjuring movies. Having had personal experience of the Warrens, I wasn't up for watching movies that valorize a pair of lying, manipulative con artists. Seeing those scumbags portrayed as heroes would have set my teeth on edge.

Multiple polls and studies have shown this. When you present the policy facts w/o labels, most US Americans approve of these "leftist" policies. Dem leadership needs to get a clue, and stop listening to those who want them to become GOP Lite.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing. These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

I was today years old when I learned that the spelling of "lede" (the introductory portion of a news story) was originally a way of distinguishing it from the "lead" of the lead type that was used in printing at the time.

This is not a massive decision or any kind of change. Costco has never carried mifepristone in its pharmacies. An anti-abortion group is taking credit for something that didn't happen, possibly to generate disingenuous left-wing ire against one of the few corporations that hasn't gone MAGA.

It's not just comics, although they're one of the most egregious examples. Almost all corporations that rely on creatives to produce the very thing that makes their money proceed to devalue and fuck over those same creatives. It's practically a rule in corporate culture.

I still sometimes see people seriously asserting the Victorians draped furniture legs because any exposed legs=indecent. That urban legend traces to a *satirical* article of the period - IIRC it was from a Brit writer mocking American prudes. 1/2
