Lupita Nyong’o for ELLE USA Summer 2026 Issue, photographed by Norman Jean Roy & styled by Law Roach

I watched a video of an early 1900s photograph physically restored/framed; final result was cool. In the comments, someone post a gen ai neon colourized version of the photograph (ugly; original b&w film photograph was better), as if they had done a great kindness; as if these two acts are equal.

Playboy created a Bluesky account and their first post is to complain about AI. They already understand the Bluesky userbase better than the bluesky devs

Old enough to remember when Google search was useful and Google Scholar didn’t list slop papers with fake citations as a ‘reasonable’ result.

Been using DuckDuckGo No AI in Firefox for iOS for searches for a while now after someone onhere mentioned so a few months ago. I also made it my default search engine. support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add... Not perfect, but every day Google search is worse…

re: last repost, watch her documentary.🔥

GRACE JONES — happy 78th birthday ❤️

The Mandalorian and Grogu one of those films where idc if it’s not good according to early critics, gonna give it a chance because the show is so good. (😹😹 in fairness to critics, they were correct about Peaky Blinders film not being so good despite the show being great. Still had to see myself!)

Aww the Photography feed died.

OK OK I will share my Sources with you ladies who really need decent clothes and are, like me, really annoyed by this. A thread. 🧵

just gave blood here in france and you get a two course meal (main course and dessert) with coffee at the end if you want.

I saw someone ask “how does one deal with the fear of releasing art into the world and not having it be ‘just theirs’ anymore?” I kinda chuckled. I didn’t cry, so that’s improvement.🥲👍🏾

My air fryer broke. I’m so sad.

evidently the kids are starting to say "that's AI" as slang for "that's bullshit" and I could not be happier

Prince was ahead of the times

For many years, people asked me, “How come Prince didn’t allow people to upload his music to YouTube?” It used to take a long time to explain it, but now that Big AI platforms are extracting everyone’s content without consent… everybody suddenly gets it. Which is interesting.

We shouldn’t have to jump through a bunch of hoops and hope for an ideal set of conditions rather than being able and willing to state the obvious.

The efforts to find a racially neutral method to address racism is itself an affirmation of the conservative frame here too.

I just need like $10M to make my dreams come true, something light

After watching Monkey Man, whatever Dev Patel directs I’m watching.

I’ve only had a dishwasher at 2 places I’ve ever lived in adulthood. Both times they flooded the space. So never lived with one that consistently worked and made life easier. Don’t have one now. Didn’t grow up in a household with one either.

Sunshine. Sooo good. I tried hard to love the third act (less than a full half, but still) but didn’t fully work for me. May rewatch tho and see. Still gets 4/5 stars from me tho idc.

In like, five years I am going to be reading somebody's book called How Bed-Stuy Became White 😞

Seen in Logan Square

There isn’t much left to say except that your children will be less well-rounded than you. Less well-read than you. Less intelligent than you. Less able to problem solve than you. Leas worldly than you. Less empathetic. Less equipped. And more helpless. For the first time in living history.

☠️☠️ you can tell, almost to the minute, when Bluesky forces one of your posts onto the Discover feed.

Still thinking about Project Hail Mary. I really loved it. Because…reasons. Didn’t expect Ryland to be relatable in some ways but…oof. Some unkissed brick in the face moments in there. (I don’t require relatability in any film, but when it unexpectedly happens, I’m shocked for 3-5 business years.)

I have a small car and don’t drive a lot and my fill up was still $50.00. I’m enraged. FL has no money here for gas to be $4.50/gal. I don’t recall it this bad since 2008. I know other states have higher e.g. Cali. But again, think of what Cali salaries are vs FL. $4.50 is $7.00 here TF.

I think people would actually die lol. They love Bond specifically because he’s good-looking and posh and a hoe. Oldman is good as Lamb tho. Brilliant and absolutely revolting. Lamb is like Doyle (The French Connection) if he was introverted and apathetic instead of extroverted and enmeshed.

Good morning! A puffin from Newfound coming in for a landing captured by Ray Mackey Photography. An amazing photo to say the least...

This happened 11 days after Kent State.

"rural voters" = white people and Reuters should just say white conservatives.

Killing the world’s richest man by rapidly spiking his cortisol with cooler and cooler film casting choices

“Posted in another nigga hood like a bad bitch” was a GUT punch.. I know he felt that in his soul 😂

“They colonized it from you, now they own it and you can’t use it” Fuck off, it belongs to all of us

The argument that AI gets to steal everything you’ve written, strip it for writing techniques, and now AI is the only one who gets to use that technique is not as anti-AI as you think.

Happy fucking FURY ROAD day for all who celebrate.

this is why i hate "representasians" imagine talking to tony leung like this. you should be taking notes from him but instead "it's marvel"??? holy shit www.vulture.com/article/tony...

My feelings about this are both racialized and queer Like Chappell Roane has been TRYING for awhile, and gets shit on Bad bunny exists! Other brown folk exist! But they are punished in ways Springsteen will never be bc his legacy is cemented Why don’t they count?

Anyway, new Mya just dropped!

That said. You are not about to get rid of me that easily! I will remain FAT and ALIVE out of pure spite, you just watch 😂! Anyway, if you feel like celebrating me and my obstinacy, consider dropping something on my Cäsh Âpp! cash.app/$ClarkishaKent

🎂🚨Birthday Alert 🚨🎂 So. It seems that I have successfully completed another orbit around this accursed, floating space rock without yeeting myself into the sun (progress). You see, my third decade of life has been…kind of abysmal to be honest LMAO. It’s a wonder I made it this far.

as "is god is" opens in cinemas today, it marks a grand debut & moment: aleshea harris is on an unprecedented path in hollywood as a black woman directing/writing a film adaption of her own stage play. for @thecut.com the director and i discuss this moment:

I know you didn’t think I’d stick only to 1970s Stevie NOPE ALL STEVIE IS GOOD STEVIE Here’s “The Woman in Red” soundtrack And I mean it from the bottom of my heart!!!

ok threads it was fun while it lasted

Stop calling people who moved to new social media platforms refugees. You’re not a refugee. You just switched an app.

Canada Dry re-branding ginger beer as BOLD ginger ale is hilarious.

NGL lol this is a flag on a journalist's worthiness:

Season 4 of Invincible is easily one of the most chaotic things I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s like Rogue One + Star Trek TNG + The Onion + unmatched violence, animated or otherwise. And Satan looks like Tr*mp. Until he gets his crown back. Then looks like a partially dissected circus clown.
