Any anxiety or stress you're having about climate change now demonstrably being on a societal collapse pathway should be sharing this. We all have to become protestors actively doing everything we can to transform the world and buy more time. Every war ended and pipeline shut down is less carbon
Do people not remember? I dont even live near newyork and this was international news, how piles of bodies inside trucks were out in the streets. I believe you can find a lot of pictures from tweets at the time.
Dr. Lucky Tran@luckytran.com · 3d agoI worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Im honestly amazed at how many people keep going to the theaters. I’m a lifelong cinephile but I’m currently facing a crisis. I don’t have a cinema in my town. Big screens are out of the questions. Watching movies on my iPad has become my new normal…
IGN@ign.com · 4d agoSpider-Man: Brand New Day has broken Avengers: Endgame's record for biggest opening day after earning $168 million on Friday.
It’s mystifying to me how people cannot see how they are doing the same as Wilson with articles like this. They aren’t necessarily wrong. It’s just pointless and a bit childish. Nolan is the Emily Watson of Hollywood. He would very much object to his films being called dumb.

I'm so tired, man. Name one, I don't ask much, just ONE thing this feature would be useful for that is not ill intended. And before you say something stupid, I will ask you that this one single thing needs to be SO good as to outweigh the mountain of bad things people can do with this. I'll wait.

They said from a profitability standpoint they can’t afford to make movies with Asian protagonists but then they also said it’s worth it to them to put abusers in movies just to put women in their place.
Kat Tenbarge@kattenbarge.bsky.social · last wk.There’s an even more sinister angle to Johnny Depp’s ongoing “comeback” tour as the new Scrooge—it’s a Paramount production and part of a slate of Ellison-backed conservative cultural takeover attempts. It’s angled around MeToo rejection and the manosphere. spitfirenews.com/p/johnny-dep...
People asking why Jared Leto keeps getting cast in movies don’t seem to understand that the person doing the casting is Jared Leto. He makes the movies so he can be in them. Hope this helps.

Im watching the @humanistreport.bsky.social video about the liberal gringos freaking out about socialist democrats, using the Red scare in 2026 lmao. Someone even dare to utter “danger of SECRET POLICE” and I’m like, isn’t that what ICE is? Liberals and conservatives are a joke.
I long for a day when I don’t have to take pills of any kind. Well, I’ll allow multivitamins, but nothing else.

The Atlantic@theatlantic.com · last wk.Until recently, AI fiction has been easy to dismiss as slop—but not anymore, @willoremus.com writes. He reports on how "Daggermouth," a best-selling romance novel, is raising uncomfortable questions about the future of writing:
Im 110 hrs into Persona 5 Royal, end of second semester, for what I know, this version added a third semester. However, YouTube have decided to spoil me the possible villain. And I say “possible”, bc I refuse to believe the thumbnails. 😤 I won’t be spoiled against my will.
Let me say this, expecting Nolan’s The Odyssey to be a perfect recreation of what it should be like (putting aside that we are talking about fiction. And ALSO, that most ancient history is part fan fiction anyway), is like expecting TV surgeries to be like actual real surgeries. Let’s grow up.
A movement urging a week-long boycott of PlayStation services in August, organising under the #PSBlackout hashtag, has emerged on social media. A mission statement reads: “PlayStation has never felt more disconnected from its community” and that ending disc production “feels like the last straw.”

Brought to prominence by the 'Does it Play?' X account, #PSBlackout urges PlayStation users to not log in from 23 August to 30 August 2026

Sony wants to abandon fans? Let's give them a small taste of their own medicine! Together with other creators we call for a 1 week #PSBlackout in August. No logins, no play sessions, no purchases on any of Sony's platforms.
I wouldn’t be in games without Sony. FF7 and MGS1 on the PS1 are why I wanted to make life in games. In the last few years it’s obvious Sony stopped caring. Time to remind them them. Join @doesitplay.org and me in a blackout of all things PS. Details in the image. #PSBlackout
