I pitched both of my usual outlets about the Cunningham stuff, one said yes, one said not right now. In 2019 I would have had a dozen editors competing for my words on this.
Frankie de la Cretaz@thefrankiedlc.news · 13h agoIt’s true, in the past I would have had multiple editors in my inbox asking me to write about the Cunningham stuff. I haven’t gotten a single assignment request. Trans writers used to be tokenized to write about these things but now that the topic is “mainstream,” those bylines go elsewhere.
this is the worst thing!! one character that we're supposed to hate says this line and we're supposed to hate it and hate him and then the movie ends with the couple embracing fascism!!! you cannot have your cake and eat it too!!!
Dustin@moviedustin.bsky.social · 11h agoI’m glad I’m not the only one put off by how cutesy it’s trying to be while taking place in an hellscape. I can’t get over how that one character says “Maybe the fascists were right about this” when referring to the mandate and the film enforces that worldview with the ending.
"If this is what it takes to get a rom-com greenlit these days, maybe we should just let them die. Death with dignity is surely a better fate for the genre than fascist capitulation." Zero stars for this piece of shit movie. My review of ONE NIGHT ONLY for @ebertvoices.bsky.social

Gonna be blunt, the reason I complain about AI so much is because it's made so much extra work for me, as I'm inundated with AI slopware games that I have to sort through and filter out, if this garbage tech ceased to exist tomorrow, it would be an immediate ease of that workload.

They think we're lying about not using it and just too "ashamed" to admit it. The idea that no, I do not in fact use AI for any of the things I do baffles them. If AI disappeared tomorrow, my life would get easier because I wouldn't have to constantly be watching for it's sneaky inclusion.

Thank you, Michigan. I love you from the bottom of my heart!
My mom died of colon cancer. For pete's sake, (as she would have said) get your fucking regular colonoscopy. If you're lucky and your mom didn't die of colon cancer it's only once every ten years. It could save your life.
Jessica Luther@jessicawluther.com · yesterdayWell, I am of colonoscopy age now and I got my first-ever one yesterday. The prep wasn't fun but not as awful as I'd imagined. My appt was at 6am on Monday, I was home just after 7am. There's no recovery except catching up on the sleep you missed. So, if you need a nudge to get yours, this is it!
Just had an establishment liberal try to insist that voting for John McCain or Reagan was fine but voting for Trump is much worse. Establishment liberals don’t actually oppose Trump based on policy, it’s all vibes. They will happily vote for people with identical policies to Trump if they’re polite

I was so thrilled to be asked by Molly to read Bradbury’s “There Will Come Soft Rains” for the story’s advent. What does luxury and convenience and complacency leave behind? What is a manicured corner worth in a mutilated world? Can I make “will” the important word in the sentence?

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 3d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

wow, i was not expecting to be blocked by @kenjennings.bsky.social over this. We’ve previously interacted in friendly ways, so i reached out in good faith & not trying to drag him. I was giving the benefit of the doubt that maybe his transphobic behavior was unintended. really disappointing.
