I know this sounds like “think of the children” but this is the perfectly wrong time for an X-Files reboot.
Beside the fact there are way too many conspiricist who think they’re Mulder and that’s got us where we are, belief in conspiracy isn’t a reaction to a cover-up. It’s government policy

Once again, DC’s utter reliance on Alan Moore and its complete disregard for him is breathtaking.
Cue DC fanboys saying he’s just bitter AND they should keep woke politics out of comics.

This was a good read.
Btw, did you know that after Joyce Carol Oates posted this Elon responded that she's a liar and then he immediately began going under film posts and replying "Great movie".
I'm not even joking. 😂

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

It interesting to me that people used to sarcastically say “oh if its on google/wikipedia/ the internet then it must be true” and now people earnestly say “I asked ChatGPT” and just assume this mechanical Turk is infallible.

I’ve seen, admittedly funny, posts by gen Z pointing out how silly millennials act in clubs when we hear Daft Punk and I pray they never stumble across The Walkman’s The Rat, which is generationally good.

Just saw the Coke Cola Christmas ad. You know the one. Holidays are coming.
Well turns out that timeless, warm, grainy footage that fills us with nostalgia has been replaced with AI slop.
A fine example of making something worse, cramming in AI and missing the point entirely!
