This is bad logic and a disappointing response on her part. While people do snark at AI when it's not good, the actual hatred is for the ethical issues around it. If people see it and the animation is amazing, that changes nothing.
Ava DuVernay's 14th, about the 14th Amendment, uses AI to animate old photos that are in the public domain, and the filmmaker wants people to see the documentary for themselves before deciding how they feel about it. tinyurl.com/c6nj6vf7
In fairness to Matt, he lives in an alternate universe where the actions of one country have absolutely no impact on any other ones. At least, I'm assuming that's the case. Otherwise, he's a moron.
Yes well it does require things like “empathy” and possessing a basic understanding that all of our lives are interconnected
As expected, Del Arroz has posted a rant about the "mob" that came for him about the File770 stuff (which was clearly the intent of this all along). Anyway, sure sounds like he and Mike are chummy.
The @file770.bsky.social thing just gets weirder. A week ago over on the Nazi site (which, yeah), Mike was trolling JDA about WFC. Or maybe the entire thing was just an act? Anyway, now he's leaked via a friend (instead of posting himself) that he's "taking a break."

(Arrested Development Narrator voice) The comment was not approved. (Left on the Anthony Awards post on @file770.bsky.social; so Mike's definitely aware of turning his site into a Nazi bar, and seems fine with it.)
So it looks like either @file770.bsky.social got hacked, or Mike Glyer decided he was opening up a Nazi bar.
Damn. I was right.
"The Last Outfit" is the "Mina Shirakawa's new theme music" of faction names, and hopefully will last as long. #AEWCollision

Story is updated with attorneys’ emergency filing, video from activists who watched the plane board yesterday, and news that the plane has taken off. Still awaiting response from the judge. 🤷🏻♀️ prospect.org/2026/10/23/t...

Thank fuck. Not that I've been to the movies in six years (and hey, check your local COVID numbers, people). But I'll take indies that play interesting stuff over chains any day.
A team of employees and a loyal patron have purchased the Somerville Theater, ending months of fraught speculation about the future of storied movie house.

Total respect for NBC's Monica Alba, who asked Trump exactly the question he needs to answer. By refusing to answer, and attacking her, he has effectively told the world that no, sexual abuse allegations do no mean a thing to him. Imagine if she wasn't there. We'd be the poorer for it.
😳 WOMAN REPORTER: Do sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sex abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?
I used to think that the Cleveland Browns just supported sexual assault against adults, but turns out they support it against minors as well.
Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

Professional Republicans are creeps who want to inspect your kids’ genitals. Never, ever vote for a Republican.
Doctors and nurses are voicing their objections. I-638 would require EVERY girl who wants to participate in sports to go through biological sex verification. That means expensive, invasive, and utterly gross examinations. Protect our kids and let them play. Vote NO on I-638

I continue to be so fucking pissed that Apple discontinued the iPod, leaving the choices for dedicated MP3 players as either cheap-ass Chinese shovelware shit and devices aimed at people willing to throw an entire mortgage payment at them.
Anyone who hasn't read George Alec Effinger's The Zork Chronicles has missed a fucking treat. And the vampire Geneviève appeared in Kim Newman's Warhammer books before Anno Dracula.
Writing tie-ins is *a real fucking skill* and anyone who sneers at the people who do it can go piss up a rope. You think it's easy to write an entire novel to very specific order on an almost impossibly tight deadline? And have it be satisfying to read? Motherfucker, *you* try it. See how you do.
I gripe about the @mbta.com's gross incompetence with the 73 bus a lot, but that's because I've never seen - in fifty years and three transit systems, a more mismanaged bus route.
