This is an actual storyboard for Evil Dead 2. People don't need AI to make beautiful art.

Phenomenal.

AI isn't 'inevitable'. Banning and resisting it isn't 'going against the tide'. We can reject this narrative and determine our own future. But it will be a fight, and it will take greater tech literacy. Which tools are bad and which are not? Who are the bad actors? Which politicians are fighting?

I don’t want this point to be lost in the discourse. Going digital-only means inequity for people who cannot afford internet or constantly purchasing new games. Libraries provide opportunities for people to experience games they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford, and that will be lost.

This is Penny. She came up with her own trick. Really hopes you like it, and will repeat it as many times as necessary until you acknowledge that you do. 14/10 (IG: pennycorgipoo)

PlayStation delisting and removing hundreds of digital movie purchases from accounts just days before announcing an all-digital future is a level of audacity that will be hard to top.

Currently watching the 4K and you best believe the picture is crisper than an autumn leaf.

This is Holly. Every day for the past 5 years, she picks out a stick and brings it to her favorite spot for “zen time.” While her stick may change, her routine never does. 13/10 (IG: hollythebluestaffy)

Bittersweet and important to have this podcast out now, as 60 MINUTES is systematically destroyed by yes men and women. It’s good to celebrate good journalism.

Two ticks Green everyone. Trim the deadweight Labour benches and let us have a government that's actually willing to do the bare minimum.

LOVE this name-drop

So we all agree that season 1 of Widow’s Bay is an absolute masterpiece ? Excellent.

Did you touch the Reflecting Pool

Got my mitts on the special steelbook edition and it was worth every damn penny.

ICE continues to f**k with everlee wihongi. here is the latest update, direct from her lawyer: "the guards told her that there was going to be no court and that they were rescheduling for tomorrow and friday – a total lie." please, please RT: www.webworm.co/june18/

I am both entirely unfortunately unsurprised by this news while also being so saddened by this news. In case anyone ever asks why we can't have nice things in this country ... decisions like this are why. Bloody skinflint tall-poppy bullsh*t.

We can have a greener, fairer future for Aotearoa and that future starts Nov 8. Still plenty of time to get involved and be a part of this 💚💚💚

Not a Living Wage Employer among them. They trumpet their charitable giving when if they paid their fair share of taxes many of the charities wouldn’t be needed. Nothing to celebrate here unless, like them, unfettered greed, gross inequality, and buying political favours is your thing. #nzpol

Spike’s face says it all 😂🔥

guy has a trillion dollars, 0 friends, and has never landed a joke. I know a pact with the devil when I see one.

If you haven’t been watching Widow’s Bay, please let this be your sign to get on board.

Yes! Thank the GODS!

a few hours ago, a judge in wisconsin ruled that everlee wihongi's 2014 marijuana charge has been vacated. this means ICE now have *zero* legal grounds to keep her detained. please RT, and thanks for carting about this story: www.webworm.co/hugewin/

Fucking psyched to see this De Palma film on the big screen for the first time. I mean, a horror comedy musical? And @aheartofgould.bsky.social gave it five stars? Let’s GO.

R.I.P Anthony Head 💔

beyond all the annoying tech bullshit that no one will actually use of this all, that's just not what a fucking podcast is.

I don’t have many strict rules in life, but one of them is “You do not miss seeing a PTA film on the big screen”.

Now for the second screening…seated for Boogie Nights.

Now seated for the first screening in the Wellington Film Society 80th anniversary celebrations.

Celebrating the 30th anniversary of its controversial Cannes premiere, I wrote for @letterboxd.social about the autoerotics of ruin in David Cronenberg’s CRASH—his horniest, holiest (and holey-est), and most subversively hopeful film. letterboxd.com/journal/cras...

You best believe I’d be snagging that “Teeth” t-shirt if shipping to NZ wasn’t so extortionate.

Important PSA for my fellow Widow’s Bay fans…Patti Lapel have released t-shirts! www.pattilapel.com/collections/...

What do you notice? Ai sold as personal assistants Alexa, siri, cortana. Ai sold as "experts" Claude, Charlie, Otto

It's a huge mistake to "adjust to" or "adapt" to generative AI. There's rarely been a more clearcut situation to reject vehemently for so many reasons. One reason beyond those that apply now is the future capacity for proactive manipulation and distortion. We need less outside interference not more.

Tonight’s film society screening:

This had me absolutely cackling.

Definition of a Woman, NZ First - Someone who Shane Jones can enjoy watching on a hotel TV screen at taxpayer expense. ACT - Someone who is probably safe from Tim Jago. National - Someone who does not deserve pay equity.

These arnt just Jobs, these are peoples livelihood, their ability to provide for themselves and their families, gone. Kiwis are more than a bunch of numbers on a spreadsheet and our jobs are more than a way for the govt to cut corners and make a "savings" This just irresponsible and careless.

Every week theres another example of luxons govt either Overturning a court decission, ignoring expert advice or hiding something from public consultation. Please make sure you're enrolled to vote, because the damage caused by another 3 years of this govt would take generations to fix.

Was going through my desk drawers at home yesterday and found my draft thesis proposal for my Masters in film. I think I blacked out how much time and effort I put into that.

you cannot support his work in any way anymore

Exactly this.

OK, so currently researching hotels in Tokyo and OMFG I am overwhelmed.

Haven’t caught up with this week’s episode of Widow’s Bay, but I just want to say, the Lazy Boy chair scene from the previous episode? Still has me in absolute STITCHES 🤣

Wrote about the apparent end of Neil Gaiman's TV empire, something that I (along with a lot of other people, I'm sure) have a lot of complicated feelings about! consequence.net/2026/05/neil...

My heart 🥹
