A lot of people are quoting this post and that's good because they should, AI sucks and robs us of something special and only mediocre uncreative piss-babies rely on it to make anything at all, fuck AI, p.s. Emma Thompson is now the president, sorry, that's just how it is

Finally found time for a couple of new ones. Haven't seen GDT's new Frankenstein yet, tho I'm psyched and looking forward to it. Meanwhile, staying with the Frankenstein theme, here's creator and creature from Hammer's 1958 version, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee.

This got me thinking about Myrna Loy, who, although she did go on to many great performances, I'll always think of her as Nora Charles. There was, however, in 1932, one real dog of a film that she was sorry she signed on for. 1/4
Put Myrna Loy in better, non-vampire roles, Hollywood! (I do love these old captions)

I never got around to seeing any of the Conjuring movies. Having had personal experience of the Warrens, I wasn't up for watching movies that valorize a pair of lying, manipulative con artists. Seeing those scumbags portrayed as heroes would have set my teeth on edge.

Multiple polls and studies have shown this. When you present the policy facts w/o labels, most US Americans approve of these "leftist" policies. Dem leadership needs to get a clue, and stop listening to those who want them to become GOP Lite.
A new poll from Data for Progress found that “voters of all parties” are open to leftist policies, and that a majority of Democratic voters polled preferred democratic socialism to capitalism “when written definitions of each are read aloud to them.”

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.
These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

I was today years old when I learned that the spelling of "lede" (the introductory portion of a news story) was originally a way of distinguishing it from the "lead" of the lead type that was used in printing at the time.

Rovina Cai always does such great work. I particularly love the full wraparound version.

Some of my own pet peeves. Not a huge deal if you make one of these mistakes in a post or email, but if you're a pro writing for publication you really ought to know the difference.
Not to add to the discourse, but…
It’s ‘toe the line,’ not ‘tow the line.’
It’s ‘free rein,’ and not ‘free reign.’
It’s ‘eke out,’ not ‘eek out.’
It’s ‘sleight of hand,’ not ‘slight of hand.’
It's ‘Anchors aweigh,’ and not ‘Anchor's away!’

This is not a massive decision or any kind of change. Costco has never carried mifepristone in its pharmacies. An anti-abortion group is taking credit for something that didn't happen, possibly to generate disingenuous left-wing ire against one of the few corporations that hasn't gone MAGA.
