This is the best news that I've had in some time. I love this film but loath streaming services; I have been desperate for a physical media version of this and it seems that my wish will finally come true.
C. Robert Cargill@crobertcargill.bsky.social · last mo.Several people have asked about VAST OF NIGHT recently, as it's no longer streaming on Amazon. Spoke with director Andrew Patterson about it last night and he took the rights back, partnered with someone, and a physical and new streaming release is coming soon. So VAST OF NIGHT is coming back!
Well, guess I know what I'll be doing this Friday evening. A big bowl of popcorn and we're good to go. #filmsky
Well goddammit...first Dolly and now Tim Curry? The world is a deeply unjust place.
“One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.” The frustration of being a 'Cassandra', and when we're proven to have been correct, no one will choose to remember
Time to stop following USA TODAY, if you follow them, and bock, block, block. Unless you want another avenue for Palantir to track you.
Lee West@whodat35.bsky.social · last mo.This is very chilling spyware folks. USA Today Co. has made a deal with software company Palantir to analyze & monetize user behavior, the company announced on Thursday. Essentially, USA TODAY is partnering with Palantir to de-anonymize & ID readers across 200 newspapers.
More dirty tricks and shenanigans by Republicans ahead of the November elections, this time in Pennsylvania. We've seen this same play before and it's actually quite effective. Reporting by Punchbowl News.
“We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.” - Sam Altman. I will never stop thinking about how nakedly evil this is, and it has framed every single AI headline I’ve read since.
Sam Altman Says Intelligence Will Be a Utility, and He's Just the Man to Collect the Bills
"Intelligence too cheap to meter" doesn't quite come across the way Altman might intend.

It feels as if I'm being scolded by some rich oligarch for not caring about the enviroment because I forget to place my empty glass bottle into the recycling bin as they fly around the world in their private jet. Because, you know, those two things are comparable in the stress they cause the planet.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 2mo agoReminder: there's NO legitimate use for crypto. Its only practical uses are tax evasion, money laundering, fraud, specualtion, and crime. No Democrat should vote for the so-called CLARITY Act, a bill backed by the crypto lobby that would make this Ponzi scheme even worse.

Cui bono? Who benefits from attaching a government ID to an online presence? Children or corporations? Who benefits from a VPN ban? Children or corporations? Hint: It's not children.
By Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C)@doctorow.pluralistic.net · 3mo agoThose tech industry insiders are fully aware that an "age verification" mandate is really a way for the government to teach every child how to use a VPN. They're also fully aware that the next move is to *ban VPNs*: www.express.co.uk/news/uk/2217... 9/

I'm pretty sure that by telling the American consumer to 'get ready' for dire conditions what he's really saying is that we should all be uploading '101 recipes for Soylent Green' onto our phones while there's still time to do so.

Are you stating an opinion? Or, are you asking a question wanting honest feedback? If the latter, perhaps if you allow everyone to respond except for a select few, who you already follow, you would gain some insight. -signed the American Resistance
I just saw They Live, a funny little John Carpenter movie in the 80's about aliens who started taking over the world. In that movie which was set in current time (the 80s) there's a scene where in a gala the leader is telling them they should have full control of the world in 2025. Coincidence?
