They want to be Aragorn and Edgin when in reality they’re Wormtongue and Forge.
Musk and others on the far right are obsessed with things like Lord of the Rings and Dungeons and Dragons because they see fantasy worlds as reinforcing their own beliefs about immutable hierarchies of race, gender, and by extension morality www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

I just brought this up the other day: “One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich” by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, high school summer reading. It resonated with me, growing up working class first gen child to immigrant working in construction who was out of the house before 6 am, returning covered in dust.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

Just like my elderly uncle after every family meal…
Then he would wake up confused about where he was, usually half way thru a movie, and call “bullshit” on the heroes.
So, yeah, just like my elderly narcoleptic uncle.

The future tech bros want. 😡
ChatGPT advised a suicidal young woman on how to take her own life, telling her "If you choose death, I'm with you - till the end, without judging."
I wanted ChatGPT to help me. So why did it advise me how to kill myself?
ChatGPT wrote a woman a suicide note and another AI chatbot role-played sexual acts with children, BBC finds.

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

You don't get to be 'big', whatever that even is anymore, without the help and support of a ton of other creators of all sizes. Other creators are never beneath you. They're right next to you.

Boosting to make this so! This graphic novel would be perfect animation.
Dear @jamesgunn.bsky.social, I want to see fun Blue Devil in animated form soooooo bad.
p.s. I know it's super tacky to tag James Gunn into what is essentially a self promotion repost, but also... Blue Devil in kids animation is worth the sacrifice of my professional pride.
