It’s worth remembering that they jumped the gun on all this. It was never truly “ready” to take over our jobs. It’s just another tool of exploitation, one designed to give less credit than ever before to those who actually DO THE THING.
And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting.
In other words, like most AI hype — it was a con. www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/2/...

Ever wonder what is going through an engineer's mind when they go through your audition? Come find out my first impressions of your space And how to improve it in a live setting!
Here's an opportunity to submit a recent audition mp3 and have the audio side of it all thoroughly examined by Eddie. No worries, we'll use fake names and not embarrass anybody. Maybe your file is good, though? 😏
Come check out the lecture and learn what to do and what not to do.

This is the single funniest excuse he could have come up with for not wanting to be booed in public
President Donald Trump will not be attending Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8 in Santa Clara, Calif., he said in an interview with the New York Post.
“It’s just too far away,” he said.

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

Reminder:
A lot of stuff sucks right now. You simultaneously should gird yourself for the fight while also taking any and all needed time for yourself, mentally, physically, economically. That can seem contradictory but it’s necessary to do both. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Isn’t it kinda weird that we never talk about the fact that Tidus (and Jecht, for that matter) lived on a houseboat back in Zanarkand? Was this normal in that city? ‘Cause I saw a lotta buildings in that town.
I think Jecht was the kind of weirdo who would rather pay dock fees than rent.

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.
one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny
It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.

Imagine a loved one of yours is gunned down in horrifying fashion, senselessly, by jackbooted thugs pursuing a wantonly criminal agenda, and only 24 hours later the Vice President is slandering her as part of a left-wing conspiracy. Unreal.

Kinda feel like, if you’re in some sort of position of authority and you have a firearm, it’s both to your benefit and the benefit of anyone around you to not be a panicky dickhead who might shoot people pointlessly.

I am absolutely clear on how bad Maduro was. Everyone cautioning us to not support him in our current responses is correct.
That said, Trump just made it clear he intends to control another sovereign nation unilaterally. Venezuela didn’t lose a dictator, it traded ‘em.
This is unconscionable.

You don't have to give a big speech. They're counting numbers - seeing how many constituents care enough to call in. Just tell them to impeach for this illegal war. Also, make sure you only call YOUR reps - they don't care about out-of-district calls.
You can do this. It'll just take a minute. 💪

On the topic of paying your entry fee into SAG:
Yes, this is something I recommend for anyone who can swing it. (Totally understandable if you can’t!)
This is exactly what I did: I put some early NU earnings aside for several years before I finally NEEDED to join. Left it (mostly) untouched.
