Original article from 2024 that is addressing a very specific instance. Is Twitter shit? Yes. Is it mostly filled with bots? Very likely. But if you don't want this place to also become like the bad place, stop misrepresenting information so you can flex engagement.

More Tarzan Thursday madness! 44 years ago, “Tarzan the Apeman” premiered in U.S. theaters. Though not particularly good, it’s certainly memorable—especially with megahunk Miles O’Keeffe.

I watched something that said that actors and models are being directed to act like GenAI animations to normalize the gummy unnatural way they hurk and jerk about; I believe it now, and it angers me so badly.

We're celebrating the release of the new Superman film with a look at Hirschfeld's three drawings of the Man of Steel. Superman was drawn in Beach Blanket Babylon, a mural for Harry's American Bar in Venice, and the short run 1966 Superman Broadway musical. Will you be watching the new film?
