Sometime late in the Bush administration we as a country stopped illuminating rooms with a floodlight placed directly behind a slowly rotating industrial fan and our nation has been floundering ever since.

It's wild* how Pichai's takeaway from realizing his bubble's wobbling is "prop up AI!" & not "gosh why do we keep weaving speculative hype through fundamental systems to the almost sole benefit of the already-wealthy, & what does that say about our economic system?"

der neue The Running Man Film hätte tatsächlich von einem guten Drehbuch und besseren Dialogen profitieren können. Edgar Wrights Regie hier auch einfach sehr träge. Was schade ist, weil der Zeitpunkt wäre perfekt für einen hart- zynischen lets rise up against our corporate overlords Actionthriller.

I had a great conversation about this phenomenon with some sociologists at ASA once. A colleague took me to task for failing to see how they KNOW the reference. They aren’t misreading literary references — they are wielding them to demonstrate their power to shape our ethics.

Carol is the most likable character I have ever seen on television. What I think this means is, Carol is angry at everyone for not minding being zombies and that scares them for interesting and rather leading reasons.

Even more so because we never had cancel culture. We had the beginnings of a suggestion of cancel culture and most privileged people and every vector of institutional power treated it like the biggest moral hazard the world has ever seen and spent an astonishing amount of effort to shut it down.
Honestly, we could have used a lot more cancel culture.

Remember when despite the "dominance" of trans women in women's sport, no trans women qualified to compete at the last Olympics so the British press had to invent one?
Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

Obsessive devotion to continuity is the enemy of epic/mythological storytelling—especially when there are many authors involved. Whether we're talking about Star Wars, superheroes, or Bond, the answer is to nail the essence of the story and care less about making it all "fit."
Or just have him start the next film alive and well and then at some point have someone be like "Bond! I thought you got blown up!" And then have him quip "you know better than to listen to rumors," or "what can I say? That was no time to die" and then absolutely refuse to explain further
