Enormously late to an utterly exceptional analysis from @priscillapage.bsky.social of 28 Years Later. So much to say about the UK's lost decade, about kindness and dignity in life & death. What a read.

If you'd like some good news on AI, the last few weeks have seen execs across multiple industries strive to hide AI usage labeling on their products because, as many of us have said FOR YEARS, the audience that *doesn't* want AI is substantial and we will reject your product whole hog for using it.

Et tu, @bsky.app?

If this stellar, heartfelt Walter Chaw WEAPONS review is indicative of what can get you suspended on this site, have to question whether it’s worth sticking around here.

Israel carried out its plan to erase Gaza over the course of 18 months. Now that the plan has clearly fallen into place, the Netanyahu government is openly discussing ethnic cleansing. And still, Israel enjoys complete international impunity.
Exterminating Gaza was always Israel’s plan, but now it’s official

It tells you exactly how rotten my brain is that if I got a wish from a genie, I would wish that the IMDb separated release dates into three distinct and clearly-labeled categories: festival, theatrical, and home video, and that theatrical was the default setting they pushed out through their api.

I don’t know how to put this exactly but it’s very important to reject a sexist culture’s criteria for a good woman’s life.

my Hagerty editor and I excavated a piece I wrote about the first two Lost Bullet movies a couple years ago, which was mysteriously never published - until yesterday. I think there are spoilers ahead.
Lost Bullet Turns the Renault 21 Into an Action Hero - Hagerty Media
The Renault 21 may be an unlikely action hero car, but its speed and popularity as a family car make it ideal for the Lost Bullet saga.

This. Authoritarians win by creating an atmosphere of hopelessness in order to preemptively suppress mass actions that could effectively challenge their power. Every single public act of defiance plays a critical role in stopping them.
I spoke to an expert in authoritarianism, who explained to me that things like this are extremely meaningful and they help protect democracy, even if there’s not a straight line between this and actual legislating

On Monday our instagram account was hacked and then deleted. We received a ransom note to recover it; obviously we couldn't and wouldn't pay, and therefore lost thousands of followers. Meta support was useless. But we're BACK with a new account: @littletollerbooks. Can you follow us there and share?

And no one in this fucking country will distribute this film they have now given their lives for. We are a nation of cowards. Our only God is cash.
BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach — and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him.

Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.
