And now an interview with our hero. If you watched the series. Which I hope you have by now.

I think if you do this, even humorously, you should be [REDACTED] with a [REDACTED] multiple times until [REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED]
Django Wexler@djangowexler.bsky.social · 10h agoSomehow things that would have been a background gag in a Verhoeven movie are now just real
Sure why not, 1 like = 1 completely=mundane dull fact about me, I'll go until I'm bored.

We got bored and watched…sigh…the live-action GHOST IN THE SHELL movie.
We're remaking LAWRENCE OF ARABIA. The shark is TE Lawrence.
weinberg@weinbergs.bsky.social · 7mo agolet's pretend: Universal announces a screenwriting contest for Jaws 5. What's your pitch?
People get to use the armed force of the state to make you leave the public square.
Cheryl Lynn Eaton@cheryllynneaton.bsky.social · 2d agoSorry to harp on this, but these CEOs keep bringing up the idea of a "public square" and I don't think they've ever been to a public square. I don't have the right to talk to anyone in a real-life public square! People get to tell me to go away.
Elite chattering-class solidarity is an international problem.
Ben Goldacre@bengoldacre.bsky.social · 3d agoSad to see people posting on social media negatively about Rod Liddle, who died yesterday. If I have disagreed with you very strongly in life - and you die - I hope I'll be either silent, or kind.

Hughes@emilyhughes.bsky.social · 3d agokicking off week three of the @darkertimes.bsky.social subscriber drive with this kickass piece from @allyoutthere.bsky.social, which should put to rest any lingering ignorant comments along the lines of "horror for kids isn't scary" or "middle grade is dead" www.darkertimes.com/middle-grade...

It's probably even worse, consider how loosely we define "journalist". Like, is an editorial writer a journalist? Is a one-person blog repeating the news feed a journalist?

I know it's not quite what it means but this is what I always think about whenever I tell someone this shit is just getting them cuckolded by a talking calculator.
Kate Holzemer@katebits.bsky.social · 3d agoAnother thought: in his statement, Hank Green expressed quite a lot of shame about the "dopamine hit" he gets from using AI. As a non-AI user I don't really know what he's referring to here. Is the AI voice flattering him while also doing his job (presumably poorly)? Because that's big weird.
I don't talk a lot about it because it's nobody's business but my partner works in the funerary industry & March '20 to June '21 broke them. A 9/11's worth of people died a day in the US, if you ever talk about how lockdown "wasn't worth it," and COVID-19 "wasn't that bad," I'm gonna [REDACTED].
We are in a sustained period of capitalism where every product/service is set to the absolute maximum cost and absolute lowest quality it can get away with. It's why even when economic signifiers are good, everyone feels the economy is terrible. Why? It's always the same answer: Private equity
Alyssa Harad@alyssaharad.bsky.social · 3d ago“People used to save and buy high quality goods! Now they just want cheap, shoddy stuff!” Sure, buddy, and a family of four used to be comfortably middle class and own their own home on a single salary.
I cannot believe this even HAS to be boosted. It is essential that we protect and catalog this degree of comic history.

We should ban attractive people from making country and rock music. I can’t take you seriously if at least two people in your band look like they bathe in cigarette smoke.
lil miss big boy@lighter.bsky.social · 5d agoPost your hottest music take. Mine is New Order is better than Joy Division.
