I watched portrait of Jenny and I’m becoming the joker. Orson Welles should have been put in charge of movies instead of this Selznick guy

I forget who I heard say this, but the removal of regulations against gambling and similar financial betting was one of those 'load bearing rules that we only notice the importance of once it is gone'

no no you’re making your movie all wrong. nobody cares about super heroes, you just introduce a father who sucks shit and by the end he’s recognized the harm he’s done. they’ll eat that up.

guys i know its called the selznick school but come on

In the '60s, an all-star team of Soviet artists assembled -- including Yuri Norstein. Together, they crafted a gentle, quiet gem called The Mitten. It's lovely stop motion, and it laid the groundwork for the team's later Cheburashka. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/a-film-for...

I intensely dislike how Democrats frame every instance of fascist imperialism in economic terms 'ICE cost the economy of Minnesota xxx' 'Bombing Iran cost consumers xxxx' I am concerned with kidnapped citizens and murdered schoolgirls, I don't give a shit how much it "cost" the American consumer

“the American ethos”

we’re at war and state media is posting condescending explainers on how handlers run interference for a senile old man (but they won’t say he’s senile. or criticize him in any way)

this is murder

guy who keeps publically giving no quarter commands: "why aren't my enemies surrendering????"

Pluto - Naoki Urasawa

I feel bad for them. They were just looking for a nice safe place to be racist.

posting this once more before the oscars roll around this weekend because truly i want everybody to watch some of the really great animated shorts that were NOT nominated to see how much better they are the the actually nominated ones

hey girl do you know that uh / you can’t wake up / if you don’t fall asleep

"AI is empowering artists" The artists:

“speeding up environmental review” is my new favorite bootlicking journalism phrase

This is the best lede I've seen in a tech story in...years? There should be an award just for ledes.

another shady as hell “he mysteriously had a seizure and ICE disclosed nothing” case today - Huabing Xie of China, who died in California last September, in a for-profit facility that apparently hadn’t been able to fill their medical director position and which no county officials ever inspected

Why Do Some People Still Wear Masks In 2026 And On A Completely Unrelated Note Why Is Everyone In The Office Sick Right Now Apart From The Guy In The Mask?

AI, as it exists and is planned, is anti-intellectual and misogynist. Palantir CEO Alex Karp thinks AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat.” newrepublic.com/post/207693/...

he decided this was too insecure and is now reading me the password out loud one character at a time 😵‍💫

on a call with it and this guy is sending me his password over teams so I can run a process as him

this is why they fired Jay. couldn’t lock down the khamenei account.

I just saw a Magic content creator update their status from "con crud" to "covid confirmed" so I am once again, with all the respect I can muster, begging all of you to wear a fucking mask when you go to public spaces! especially if they are crowded!! even if you don't think you need one!!!!

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out: www.404media.co/ai-is-africa...

OOPS: Grammarly forgot to mention something extremely important in its big apology yesterday -- that it was facing down a serious class action lawsuit futurism.com/artificial-i...

Can this be a solution?

CAMP IS A FAKE IDEA

For those that survive, there will be memorials for all the dead and a slap-on-the-wrist response for those responsible for the horrors in the UK and US in no more than 30 years. We will treat it something like Regan's response to the AIDS crisis. A preventable tragedy no-one is punished for.

Lovely photo and message of care for New Yorkers! I'm sure people are acting extremely normally about it!

damn hope they suddenly decide to respect the law

This form of reporting makes more sense when you realize it is meant to assuage its audience. It tells its readers that they’re not alone in wanting this to “just be over” and that they can drift back into the amnesia of everyday American life. That if they don’t see terror, it can’t be a problem.

Daisies (1966) shows us not only that movies don't have to be directed by Tarantino to feature a lot of feet, but that the foot content is better with a female director.

The “Lost Cause” myth is just a tool to keep people in a victim mindset and their animus active, because in so many ways, the Confederacy won, kid.

who could have seen this coming

Iranian schoolgirls spontaneously explode, Palestinian babies suffocate after their own NICU units decided to just stop, Lebanese buildings kinda implode of their own accord, and two Pennsylvania teenagers had their lives changed after not having a normal day enjoying NYC in abnormally warm weather.

Next time this culture of casual massacre Republicans have created and forced us all to live in ricochets back to hurt one of their own every media outlet will start wringing their hands about political violence as if this guy hasn’t been out here saying loathsome shit like this all along.
