Just saw Coyote vs. Acme a quality late stage capitalism critique made all the more obvious by Warner Bros. shittiness. Good fun times.

found something great on reddit, which is such a rare happenstance that i felt i should post it
Was just playing with the dog in the hallway and she heard my wife washing a blanket and had a panic attack thinking she was going to get a bath. Ball dropped, ears back, shaking... whole 9 yards. She had to go lie down.

Wait. What? Why?
This has been one of my biggest questions about the meeting point of ultra-realism and VR. At what point does attacking or getting attacked start to replicate the actual intense and psyche altering trauma of these experiences.
GTA VI’s NPCs move more like real people than almost any we’ve seen in a game. But this is GTA, so we must ask: What will it be like to rampage through a world full of characters that gesture and cry so uncannily? Will wanton virtual violence still be fun? Or will it just make us feel kind of bad?
A wonderful & amazing thing to do, keeping this theater going—thank you @ricksteves.bsky.social! “The theater will survive whether it makes money or not…I will measure the profit of The Edmonds Theater based on how many people in our community get together & have a good time. That’s a profit.”

I'm not done, I'll probably sit down and really do a deep dive but the long and short of it: the amount of USDA products recalled by pounds in the first half of 2026 was 2400% higher than in the first half of 2025.
34 is very young for a comedian to figure out they are no longer funny.
Openly gay comedian Matt Matthews launched into an expletive-filled rant about pronouns, gender identity, and the LGBTQ community: ‘We ain’t got no damn pronouns.’

I think a big part of this as well is the death of mono-culture. It used to be that everyone was more or less seeing/watching/reading the same stuff and critics were valuable both in countering and maintaining monoculture.
Obsession cost $750k and was filmed in 26 days. And the end product was actually good.
Higgsfield AI has produced a fully AI-generated feature-length film starring licensed celebrity likenesses, marking a dramatic shift for the technology. The 110-minute action-comedy had a $2 million budget, half of which went to AI tokens, and took just four weeks to create.
I'm still ironing some kinks out of the system, but the soft open is underway. Fulfilling orders as we speak. I'll be pushing the business a lot more in a few weeks when I have everything closer to perfect.

Went and saw the Odyssey tonight. It was good, I'm no hater. Nolan knows how to make a film for the theater. His stuff will never be my favorite thing, but I'm all the happier if he takes on projects like this.
