Looks like finding a near enough screening for Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma might be a bit of a quest. I can travel a little but not, like, to Seattle just for a movie.
The first sentences of Baby-Sitters Club, Goosebumps and Animorphs.
Sometimes when I see people who died young between 1980 and 2005 or so, I can't help but think "tragic, but wow they probably would have been insufferable in the social media age."
Don't quote me on this in like 10 years but I think one of the defining issues of the 2020s is "a better world is actually very easy to achieve, the powers that be are just not interested in achieving it."
wishda@wishda.bsky.social · 5d agoThe DSA in Wilmingotn, N.C. has created a "crisis" by putting benches at city bus stops, after literal decades of the city promising and failing to do so.

Ridley Scott doesn't get enough credit for creating trans puppy girls in 1982
Thirty-five years later, I still think it was a crime that all the marketing spoiled that the Arnold Terminator was the good guy in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. God, imagine if that had been kept a secret, imagine the reactions in the theater.
hahaa apparently i had to actively tell my new bank account to decline transactions if i have no money, because otherwise it'll just overdraft my account by $120 without alerting me! so that's fun. that's a fun system we have. h e l p

Tomorrow is Digimon Day, and for once I’m prepared. 🔥 🦖 🔥 It’s the first of a BRAND NEW VIDEO SERIES all about Digimon Adventure, now uploading for patrons tonight and premiering for everyone else on YouTube tomorrow night. Been hard at work on this for years and I can finally share the results!
I'm sure the deep comic nerds can name some hidden gems, but it feels like we need a new big story for Jean Grey that isn't just Phoenix shit again.
THIS. People educated enough in the specific subject to pull the data together don’t need LLMs; people without the knowledge to weed data from the bullshit are at the mercy of the LLM. They’re obsequious Dunning-Kruger machines. Designed to flatter midwits and the technologically obsolete.
Ophie Dokie 🌻@ophiedokie.bsky.social · 5d agoSo, ok, a thing about telling yr audience "i use AI for my info gathering/research but then I look over it and fix any errors" is that you unfortunately told me youve outsourced your knowledge base on this subject to the machine, and therefore I have no reason to believe you CAN catch those errors
I truly feel for kids growing up now who will have to unlearn using AI, but if you've been writing for more than 2 years it is the easiest thing in the world to just Keep Doing The Thing You Did and ignore AI tools!! It makes me feel crazy that people act like this isn't the case!!!
Maddy Myers 🏳️🌈@midimyers.com · 5d agoit's actually sad as hell to use AI for research when research is the fun part. you can just email people and call them on the phone and ask them questions about the thing that they have expertise in. you can read documents & learn cool shit. ok now i'm just talking about how being a reporter is fun
I'm never happy with my writing, but at least I can say I don't use chatgpt in my scripts, which means I'm a better writer than Hank Fucking Green.

I like how the Criterion Channel is the home of the European masters, Hong Kong dramas, art house classics, new independent voices in film, including black, woman and/or queer directors... and also all the anime I downloaded from Limewire in high school.

I'm not saying it's Holland, I'm not gonna name names at all, but I think just by law of averages, there's gotta be a few A-list stars who are trans and have decided to not come out for career reasons. Like, that's just math.

Watching his film Once at a film festival among the California vineyards in my early twenties is such a core memory for me. Like I had found a secret treasure just for me.

I've just got zero momentum in my life right now. Nothing in the tank, nothing is moving, just nothing to work towards.
Finished Widow's Bay. It was fine. It was at its best whenever it stuck to its elevator pitch of "Parks and Rec, but on a haunted island," but I think it switched to straight horror way too soon, and it wasn't nearly as good at the horror as it was the comedy.
