I think good things are good and bad things are bad. Tired and distracted. The future’s all that’s left, if you think about it.

Watching this thing suggests all over again that AI-generated art's central failing continues to be that the kinds of people who might use AI tools to make something interesting are the kinds of people who hate the supposed shortcut of using AI tools because they enjoy the work of making art.
It's funny how the Defenders of Western Civilization really want Odysseus to be this heroic patriarchal figure when he is canonically kind of a dirtbag.

Me sailing to find out if Netflix’s Below, the hit show giving Newfoundland a little cultural moment on a global stage, was made before Mark Carney gutted Trudeau/Guilbeault’s streamer reforms that required Netflix et al to produce some Canadian content:
Ottawa bends over backwards for Alberta Oil, Steven Guilbeault leads criticism, now Ottawa bends over backwards for mega corp Netflix to gut the Online Safety Act reform—spearheaded by Trudeau minister Steven Guilbeault.

Years back my dad gave me some issues of The Economist so I could “read some really good writing.” Writing like: DOGE was a huge missed opportunity. Elon Musk's tech-savvy footsoldiers saw the law as an obstacle to work around rather than a guide as they tried to reform the federal government.

Breaking: Tim Burton's Beetlejuice occasionally did not connection with 69-year-old, 1919-born Pauine Kael
[BEETLEJUICE] Tim Burton takes stabs into the irrational, the incongruous, the plain nutty. And though a lot of his moves don’t connect, enough of them do to make this spotty, dissonant movie a comedy classic. (1988)

Ronald Reagan, except this time, he’s Liberal* *Important note: This is the name of a political party, not a descriptor of ideology or policy. As we all know, an ideologically Liberal Reagan is a paradox that would tear space time asunder with but a whisper
Carney is truly the Reagan of Canada. A calming, paternalistic figure in a period of apocalyptic uncertainty who galvanizes the economy with short-sighted right wing fiscal policies. And like Reagan, every disaster that Canada encounters in the future will be traceable to his administration.
I reread this in the context of “Canadian Reagan” and yikes en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Ca...

Yowza! Who’s happier with Lib PM Carney than disastrous Con PPM Ford? (Hard mode: You can’t say disastrous Con PPM Smith)
Premier Doug Ford says Ontario taxpayers will help fuel a proposed 3,300-km oil pipeline from Alberta to Sarnia that could ultimately cost tens of billions of dollars. The premier said the project was necessary because of the existential threat posed by U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war.
