Among the greatest promotional photos of all time are these for the 1990 television movie of IT, where it looks like a prestige legal drama about a firm of hot young lawyers and one associate who likes to dress up like a clown.

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.
“Wikipedia is this economic anomaly. In many ways, it’s sort of magical that people will just volunteer without explicit economic incentives to create artifacts that are meant to share knowledge with everyone in the world”

leaving twitter to come here and then no one i know personally really using it sure did help me disconnect from this format of social media.

seeing stuff from universal parks and like the HP stuff looks so incredible and it just makes me so angry that she ruined it all by being such a hateful human being.

i know a lot of people are like "live for spite!!!" and i 100% support that if that's what keeps you going but if it doesn't work for you you can live for a variety of reasons, including "read book that isn't out yet", "love", "step on a crunchy leaf", "look at the river", "pat a creature" etc

Before Sam McKim's 1958 souvenir Disneyland wall map, this 1956 Bank of America brochure had one of the best early Park maps. Historians appreciate all those named places!

the balance of not hiding under a rock but also not doomscrolling my way to despair is fucking rough.

There's something I need people to understand.

The studio that made this released some numbers. They had to produce 85 minutes of footage to find 15 usable seconds for this ad.

The machine that creates moving images out of nothing has a failure rate of 340:1 and the best 15 seconds... is this.
Coca-Cola’s newest Christmas commercial was made using AI.

of course i wake up early enough to walk the dog before work when there is a weather event i hadn’t even heard of (bomb cyclone) happening so walking is so not a reasonable choice.

not saying anything groundbreaking here, but I really think "politics as a form of content to be served up and consumed like all other forms of content" has been an enormous, underrated disaster in terms of giving folks the illusion of being informed while essentially being gamed like a drug addict

Goodreads is owned by Amazon & there is an AMAZING alternative‼️

The StoryGraph is a black women-owned competitor to GoodReads with better UI in my opinion.
When you sign up you can even transfer your data from Goodreads to StoryGraph!
