I wrote an epic western saga, full of vengeance, violence and vast passages about life, death and rivers. It's really good.

2025 saw me push my book out, a big humanist western revenge saga looking at, ya know, all the shit that happens when systems fail the people.
Not had much creativity this year, deeply broken, hoping next year plans can become works.
For now though, buy my book?

In some ways it's a shame which filmmakers weren't in the files and thus didn't have to make a propo doc that got wide release because we could be staring down a 5 hour Wiseman on 4000 screens in the US this weekend elsewise.

Their response on Facebook was… to block me then just swap out my image for someone else’s uncredited image. But I wouldn’t know since I can no longer see their presence on Facebook whatsoever.

So is the 3mil page Wikipaedo list just for us all to collectively read and say "yeah, knew he was a wrongun" or are there going to be any... arrests? Why have we all adopted it like it's Richard and Judy's Book of the Week.

"I know sexpests who use subtext and they're all poor"
Who needs to hide what they're doing when laying it in plain sight and hiring others to make distractions and conspiracies is so much less effort?
I'd say eat the rich but that might be part of their kinks.

Dette prøver jeg daglig å ta opp med personer jeg møter, med unntak av de som er kronisk online, så bagatelliseres dette fortsatt, jeg blir sprø av å leve i en verden der det føles ut som en håndfull mennesker er de eneste som får med seg hva som skjer.
Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores.
TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti.
Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret.

Ok, look, there's a lot of things we need to stop in this nightmare of handling technology, but can we add a period in A.I. somewhere lest we get "Weird Al" in hot water (from the data centre runoff) because of something computer bullshit has done?
It's not a feature film or tv show. The closest analogue is the weird AI slop retellings of movies you will see if you scroll deep into short-form video apps. Or perhaps, if you're familiar with those, a very shitty version of a Canadian Heritage Minute.

This thread is worth a read. Probably conatins more information about AI than the government approved (but not provided) AI course it is documenting.
I think I might take one of these "under 20 minutes" AI skills courses the UK Govt. seems very keen on everyone doing and live-post it here... Maybe we can all learn something together! The press release sends me to aiskillshub.org.uk/aiskillsboost/ - let's go and see!

It is absolutely insane that we are trying to come up with workarounds and bans on children accessing social media when the simple solution - holding social media platforms responsible for their content under existing law - has been staring us in the face for years.
This was a minor story on London news this morning - but suspect is a real cautionary (and alarming) tale of an older man getting radicalised online.

This government is dangerously incoherent on this. SEND provision is under threat, they're age-gating the internet, but want to push the confidently wrong psychosis machine onto children (while rich kids will still get human tutors, obviously).
JUST INVEST IN ACTUAL TEACHERS.

We want to make sure tutoring isn't the preserve of a lucky few, but accessible to every child who needs it.

Vue near me have a 'secret horror film' screening on Monday which I'd venture is Sam Raimi's newbie, but there's a chance given they're showing it multiple times a day it's just a way to make people sit down for a screening of Melania.

I'm sorry, but the reaction to Brianna Ghey being murdered by people she knew offline *because she was transgender* becoming 'we should stop teenagers from being on social media' rather than 'we should deal with the recent horrifying rise of transphobia in the UK' is unbelievably fucking bullshit.

The mania for so-called AI is just pareidolia writ large. It's a fart machine built on plagiarism and waste. LLM technology is, at best, a crappy magic trick. Shapes in the clouds. Don't be deluded that it's 'not quite ready' and 'will get better'. It's pointless and polluting. Tear it down.

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.
It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.
