Currently watching the 2025 film VIOLET for an upcoming episode of ERIC ROBERTS IS THE FUCKING MAN. It's about an AI created by Eric Roberts running wild or some such thing. Also appears to be made up of 75% stock footage (and at least some AI generated stuff).
So…let me get this straight. Marvel VFX unionized > were fired > Doomsday will be AI slop now?

To be philosophical for a minute, Death does not care about us or our plans and he always collects his due, no matter how powerful we are. We are all equal in one crucial respect: none of us will leave this world alive. When I contemplate the actions of the nefarious, this thought gives me comfort.

6 years ago today Fox News helpfully distilled some of the demands of the Movement for Black Lives... Curious that they could figure out the demands but that white dude bros on the so called Left say that it's unclear... LOL

Today, there can no longer be any doubt that the chief purpose of Flock cameras and other surveillance systems is to pave the way for authoritarianism. In "Blinding the Cyclops," an anonymous researcher wages a personal war against surveillance infrastructure: crimethinc.com/blindingthec...
It's been repeatedly said that one of Mamdani's strengths is constantly communicating "wins," no matter how small. That also means capitalizing on big city-wide wins. So saying this while wearing the Knicks jersey is Mamdani throwing the huge Spirit Bomb charged by every Knicks fan's win.

Remember this scene the next time a corporate reporter tries to insist that a rural diner full of white men in their 60s is somehow a more authentically "American" place, somehow more representative of who we are as a nation.

the success of Backrooms means Hollywood now has no excuse but cowardice for refusing to produce a Groverhaus movie.
"MY MAYOR'S MUSLIM MY BAGELS ARE JEWISH MY CHRISTIAN DIOR KNICKS IN FOUR!" This is why I love this city. NYC. We are diverse. And yet United. We are immigrants and yet, American! Damn, it's a good time being in New York. And being a Knicks fan. I ❤️ NY.
One year ago today 2 things happened in L.A. It came out that ICE was holding people w/o food or water in the basement of the Roybal Federal Bldg (abc7.com/post/immigra...) and a few hours later ICE raided an apparel shop in DTLA. Protests against those things led to feds & LAPD attacking protesters

I've been thinking a lot about what I like most about I Love Boosters, which is that it's far less a movie in which Boots Riley turns to the camera and says "Do communism like this!" than a movie urging us all to pick up "cameras" and redefine the world through art

“A real man does what’s right. A man serves others. A man doesn’t lie or cheat or steal.” You’re describing an ADULT those are qualities of emotional MATURITY that have nothing to do with gender!
Apologies in advance to Jene for when I inevitably confuse and alarm her by bellowing "I! Am! The Great Mighty Poo! And I'm going to throw my shit at you." In my meagre defense this is my sleeper cell trigger phrase, a Millennial version of "Why don't you pass the time with a little solitaire?"
Just once I’d like to see journalists and politicians show at least a grain of scepticism about the claims being made by “AI” vendors. Just once. Just because anthropic styles their reports to look like scientific or academic papers doesn’t make them sound or credible.
