Probably makes no difference, but part of me thinks constantly saying "if there even is a 2027 season" manufactures consent for a lockout. I'd prefer not to normalize the idea of owners shutting down the sport in order to break a union. That should be a weird, extreme, unacceptable course of action.

The first essay we wrote in my intro film class was breaking down this scene from Singin' in the Rain, and I know it's not a fair comparison, but rewatching it now feels like a breath of fresh air. I particularly love how we get an almost two minute uninterrupted shot of them walking and talking

NEW: Dozens of ads running on Meta platforms, some as recently as yesterday, contained AI-generated child sexual abuse material. @mattburgess1.bsky.social has the story, which is, it should be noted, distressing:

More than 50 offending image and video ads were published across Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, or Threads, according to Meta’s ad library data. Some ran as recently as this week.

Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak

I don't use AI for anything. I don't use it for brainstorming or idea generation or any of the supposedly fine things it allegedly does. ChatGPT has never spoken to me. Claude doesn't even know my name. Much like cocaine, I t's extremely easy to not do if you don't start.

Rather absurd framing when you consider the results up and down the ballot, and where expectations were before just the last few weeks.

Big tax results out of Missouri tonight: Voters statewide rejected by an huge margin a GOP ballot measure to phase out the income tax. They also renewed a sales tax to keep state parks free. And Kansas City approved a package of $1.7 billion of bonds for infrastracture.
