Funny. Weir’s conscious act of “unpolitical” writing still results in political work. The times we live in simply don’t allow him to escape it; science-based solutions to existential threats are themselves under existential threat by throughly unscientific politics. “[Subtext], um, finds a way…”

Made the call a while ago that I won’t be writing much about the series itself, but it was important to spell things out now that Warner Bros. is cranking the hype machine up

Anyway here’s a video of Ryan Coogler’s speech for winning best screenplay for Sinners on Jan 13 at the NBR, which he uses to talk about Minnesota and Renee Good and whether or not filmmaking can empower political change

Hey world, remember when you thought this was awesome? (Which, by the way, it was). Yeah well she's been suspended for a week now because of it; it's coloniser rules and forms of expression allowed only, indigenous people must only be angry in white ways. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

The Author, Séamas O'Reilly@seamas.bsky.social · 2y agoI wrote this on the most consistently terrible, and fatal, idea in centrist politics today. On Fanta, rebadging, and why attempting to win votes from fascists is morally disgusting and politically suicidal. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...
one of the reasons i wrote this piece is to get away from the gauzy mythology of the civil rights movement "spontaneous mass resistance" "rosa parks was just tired". no. the movement remains a masterclass in the tactics--and the *strategy*--of resistance.

That Lilo and Stitch spot was very effective marketing. Omg.
I worked at the Laemmle in Santa Monica during college and it was one of my favorite jobs ever. Bob would occasionally come by and was always so friendly and helpful when we had issues at the theatre. This is so sad ❤️
Marc Edward Heuck@meheuck.bsky.social · 2y agoThis is a terrible day for L.A. and for movie lovers. Bob Laemmle was one of the good guys, exhibiting hundreds of movies that would have had difficulty getting screened anywhere else. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
Don't ever use AI, even (and especially) as a joke to show how AI is terrible.
Saeed Jones@theferocity.bsky.social · 2y ago“In order to shoot off one email per week for a year, ChatGPT would use up 27 liters of water, or about one-and-a-half jugs… that means if one in 10 U.S. residents—16 million people—asked ChatGPT to write an email a week, it’d cost more than 435 million liters of water.”
I think it also should be mentioned that the person who really got this going was Rick Caruso, the West Coast Trump/developer who Bass kicked the ass of in the election, and who falsely spread conspiracy theories about fire hydrants in the same radio interview.
Matt Pearce@mattdpearce.com · 2y agoNot going to stick up for Bass because this is the job, but we’re all in our feelings right now and going after a mayor in a weak-mayor city over a countywide disaster is cope. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/09/u...
Anyway, Christina Sharpe wrote that “the Internet allows for the consensual as well as the nonconsensual acting out of racialized fantasies” in “Racialized Fantasies on the Internet” back in 1999 (!!!) and here we are with actual profile interactive AI blacks in 2025.
Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social · 2y agowhy do we need AI-generated profiles. why
They find this every year… They do not care In fact many of them are basically trying to find ways to make those folks work for free We’re all on that kind of that place right now

Lorraine O'Grady lifted me up with her intellect, her wit, her nerve. This assignment came at a point in my life when I needed it and didn't even know. She was a blessing. I am saddened to know Lorraine has passed, and I am endlessly grateful to her. She lit flames that will never go out. 🖤
