Do people just not write dialogue anymore? This entire scene feels like did a first draft with a bunch of "[insert joke line here]".

This is such an great feature (Rebecca is great!), and I've been thinking about it for a few days. IMO, "Influencer" in the ten-years-ago sense was really a LOT of jobs (spokesmodel/copywriter/etc.) but now it's morphing, at least in part, into "intentionally annoying person" which feels worse.
The Influencer Recession
Once upon a time, lifestyle influencers could post cute photos and make millions. Now they are forced to pivot.

852dude@852dude.bsky.social · yesterdayThis sucks ass. When I start my car I want to be able to put my foot on the pedal and drive off. I dont want to watch an ad. A distracting ad. Right in the middle of my console. Again. This sucks ass.

while there are problems with anything, the nuclear block is absolutely my second favorite thing that bluesky did. (my first favorite is detach quote, which is another thing that wrecks the way they like to use social media)
Micah@rincewind.run · 2d agothere are definitely downsides to the nuclear block but the reason I keep coming back to it as necessary and good is that it completely ruined the whole MAGA engagement model to the point that they prefer to mock us from the nazi bar rather than come here to troll us directly

I’m tired of old ppl in Congress on the left thinking the problem with tech companies will be solved by just taxing them more. Sure, they need to pay more in taxes but what they really need is to be regulated and held accountable for the products they unleash on the public
Elizabeth Warren@warren.senate.gov · 2d agoDo you use Instagram or Gmail? You could be helping to train AI. Big Tech has turned what all of us helped create into a trillion-dollar industry. It’s time to tax AI so you can share in its success.

It's always interesting how "liberal" or "leftwing" spaces (whether perceived or actual) have to "stop being a bubble", but no one asks the same of Truth Social or any of the other rightwing spaces.
Someone in my office had to go through an hour long transcript to change a trans person's pronouns because the AI took their birth gender and ran with the pronouns. Took an hour to do.

“The hardest part of working on a multi-media project is that my team could only control the book, comic & music aspect. Not having control of everything could be frustrating.” Great interview on the 1996 Shadows of the Empire multimedia project 🔥
Jordan Maison@jordanmaison.com · 3mo agoShadows of the Empire (as a project) is now 30! I was thrilled to be able to chat with Lucy Autrey Wilson—the MOTHER of the entire Expanded Universe—about how it came together, her thoughts on it, and how it shaped the future of the EU as we know it. #StarWars nerdist.com/article/star...
