Do you have a hook up on some free dog shit?!

Reminds me of the “the medium is the message” phrase, and hope that the creators are going for something unique either to the story or the presentation, but the cynic in me thinks that they may just be doing this to set up a Doomsday Clock movie.

Is the job to be interacting with a computer for the entire duration of your shift? Fuck this incentive structure that requires people to fake touching their computer parts to show that work is being done.

Maybe the best fruit

With proliferation of AI generated content, people aren’t able to identify other human generated content, or be certain that their online interactions are with a bot or human. This scenario has apparently been called the dark forest internet because people will try to preserve their communities by more restrictive curating, effectively hiding both from other humans and bots.

I like some of Kyle’s videos, and I’m not doing a great job of summarizing all of the points made in this one. I found it worth the 15ish minutes, but probably should have watched it at higher speed.

Like a cautionary tale?

I may be a little more comfortable with the weather than I might otherwise be if it weren’t for Greta Thunberg making it a bit harder for corporations to fuck everything up. Does that count?

Otherwise, Carl Sagan.

For a rather unsettling take, you may be interested in the concept of the digital panopticon. Because of the degree of surveillance that is possible in what media we consume, it’s also possible that we are intentionally being kept in these echo chambers.

I came looking for this. It seemed like this movie came out at that time when adults assumed all animated movies (or cartoons as I was told) are for kids, and so this was shown in our after-school group. There were several kids crying by the end of it, and I may have been one of them.

In the style of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, except we root for the vampires in this one?

Possible unpopular take, but suddenly cutting off support for Israel may be evaluated as the path that results in far more blood. Because of Bibi’s absolute shit response, there’s a good possibility that many groups in the region (Hezbolah, Iran, etc.) are standing quite ready to exterminate Israel and all of its roughly 9.3 million residents (2021 numbers). While the US cutting off support may be a short term solution that a lot of people could agree with, Bibi has made clear that he is willing to play chicken with the entire population of Israel, and so if the aid stops and the possible invasion from the regional players starts up, then the US has to decide whether to let a “former” ally get exterminated, or get involved at that point when many more actors could be involved in the conflict.

Aw, I remember the hype on that movie before it came out, and media being like, “could this be the moment when video game movies start being good?” I can understand actors getting suckered into projects like this. I saw that it was free to watch on a streaming service a while ago. I still passed on watching it.

Cloud Atlas is the one with Tom Hanks, and I agree it wasn’t worth sticking through since i think it was like 3 hours long. I never saw Atlas Shrugged, but I’m guessing it’s also pretty heavy on the propaganda considering the source material.

Is it okay to openly say that you’ve cloned another product, or promote a product as a clone of another? I honestly don’t know the legal precedents, and know that there are many sites that have copied elements of other products that they intend to compete with, but reading the post title gave me a sinking feeling of Reddit lawyers perking up.

The site looks nice, and I really hope that I’m just being paranoid about possible legal exposure.

Teen Titans go to the Movies made WB studio the vehicle for the villain’s world domination plan.

Does Logan count as ending on a high note, or is that just waiting to be sullied by bringing Hugh Jackman back into the franchise?

Nice try, Ursula
