Stealing books? Fine. Sure. Here's a few dollars. Moving on. Also still doing it. Recreating profitable software and making it free? ...probably a different reaction In guessing.
Holy shit. Someone has decompiled the Adobe suite, rebuilt it in Rust and released it as open source. Either all software is dead or the US copyright laws are about to receive an update. getartcraft.com/apps
I'm watching The Hitcher and it's freaking me out how much Rutger Hauer looks like Richard Burton.

Just asked Victor Wembanyama if he’d ever consider promoting a sports betting company. “Absolutely not. I will never do that. Honestly, I think it's very sad to see some players promote it. .. Everybody does whatever they want, but without me.”

This TV list is really underwhelming to me because I feel like it matches what the 100 most discussed shows on Reddit would be. That's not the case for the books or movies list. I'm not even trying to make an argument for shows that have been left off. It just feels like...a list of shows.
Got one of those radio interview scam/AI things. All I had to do was explore "cost sharing" and they'd feature me all over the place.
Picked up my first Belben novel and it's absolutely going to mess me up. Started it too late on the flight back from LA to finish it, but that would have been perfect.

Thanks to Camp Miasma I've had "A Long December" stuck in my head more than I did in the 90s

Did my WIP (my 4th novel?!) just become a tragicomic book about a family trying to hide a body?
Please stop paying for anything Harry Potter. This is where your money is going. At this point, you're not an ally, you're an abuser and we're your victim.
Peacock cutting to commercials every few minutes during the Tour de France femme is killing me!
This movie sounds even more grim than I thought it would be.
"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." @oldfilmsflicker.bsky.social from her zero star review of ONE NIGHT ONLY:
Maybe this also leads to a conversation about the labrynthine nominations process too...
This screed is so misguided and full of weird, bad ideas. It's got that vibe of "I didn't really think this through and actually don't even understand the subject much, but I want to yell about it anyway." Which is fine for Gen Pop internet, but like, maybe keep it off the HWA newsletter, wtf.
My American mind can't comprehend why I can't find Demi Vollering and other #TDFF merch more easily.

AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns
Okay that was actually really pretty good and much much darker than the marketing made me believe it would be.
Am I seeing two Tom Holland movies on opening weekend this month alone? Yes. Am I prepared to believe we've fallen so far that we have to take Tom Holland seriously as a movie star? No.
