The obscenely rich are especially vulnerable to llms because llms sound like *literally every single interaction* they have had with their entourage of sycophants for decades, and they also have not ever had to actually learn or think in that same span of time.
At a fundamental level, we have to accept much of silicon valley has gone insane.

In creative fields, compliment your coworkers’ work when you like it. Many have never had a coworker compliment their work before. A compliment is a show of professional trust and if you never show it then you’re a real crap
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

America is being run by people whose social media presence would see them getting fired from a part time job stacking shelves.

Of all the narrative changes. Guillermo Del Toro had made in his FRANKENSTEIN, the expansion of Elizabeth, in purpose and agency, is my favourite. Her tender and emotional rapport with Jacob Elordi’s Creature is the beating heart of the film. Ethereal and understated work from Mia Goth.

So. HELLRAISER: BLOODLINE
I have two complaints.
1) The lead (Merchant/LeMarchand) is a vacuum. And his wig in the modern day is WILD!
2) NOT horny enough. Making The Cenobites malicious slashers, and not hedonistic weirdos, diminished the series.
But it wasn’t all bad.
Angelique was a great add.

I generally hate remakes of films that worked the first time, but I have to admit that Breck Eisner's 2010 version of THE CRAZIES is pretty damn good.

Shared this thought elsewhere:
Aside from Clive Barker’s work (mid 80s on), my pop culture awakening came in the 1990s.
HELLBLAZER, DOOM PATROL, THE INVISIBLES, Nine Inch Nails, Tori Amos, SE7EN, PULP FICTION… the list goes on. Anyone else feel this, or did the culture just finally fit me then?

Happy Birthday, @realgdt.bsky.social .
Thank you for your vision, your love of the outsider and the motivation to give my own inner menagerie life.
This moment changed my life’s trajectory and I’m forever grateful for the kick in the ass you gave me that day.
