Because "lets cast John Wayne as a young Genghis Khan" wasn't a terrible enough idea on its own, I guess.

Even outside the studio system: Citizen Kane used the asbestos snow special effect too. Wizard of Oz wasn't unique in that regard, but the interest in it from being the first first three-strip technicolor movie gets it extra scrutiny.

@johnrjohnson.bsky.social are you ever going to answer this question?

And you believe them despite the fact that directly contradicts their website, which shows real estate for sale inside two illegal Israeli settlements within the west bank?
Maale Adumim and Gush Etzion are illegal settlements.

Question: where are the circled markers located, within Israel or within the West Bank?

What's really funny is Google says if I use GMail any longer they're gonna start charging me monthly and I'm like oh hm wow… so if I'm paying for an email provider why would it be this one? Anyway how looking for the least AI-brained web mail that replicates as closely as possible GMail from 2020

"morality in 1776 wasn't what it is in 2025" doesn't actually mean "1776 had no conception of rape, and nobody telling Thomas Jefferson that raping his slaves was wrong (as was having slaves at all)".

There were people 'of the time' pointing out how monstrous slavery was.

A doctor had to basically tell the production team "if you don't shut the hell up and let Margaret Hamilton actually recover from the second AND THIRD degree burns your production inflicted on her, I'm gonna help her sue you."

Because they used to be super-common in the days before good fire codes, and even after fire codes existed some nightclub owners have gone "but making my building not be a deathtrap costs money! think of my income!"

"you stupid fucking kids were supposed to realize its 'never again, to me' not 'never again, to anybody'!"

Anyway, do not help the Sam Altmans of the world steal Machine Learning valor to prop up a bunch of gross plagiarism machines that have all our worst biases and failings baked in.

Lumping them together as “AI” gives readers the impression that a single class of tool is discerning novel protein structures, teasing subtle patterns out of mountains of LHC data, writing a student’s History 101 paper, and arguing a ketamine-addled billionaire could post up Shaq in his prime. No.

Machine learning (umbrella term, I know) is a useful, sometimes transformative tool in the hands of trained researchers who understand how to deploy it and critically assess the results.

A chatbot is not useful in the same ways (though underlying technologies may be, in other contexts).

Wrong, its derived from a middle english word, and was already being used in the modern sense of 'sexual assault' in the medieval period

Bluesky: Transphobes get special treatment, genocide victims get banned asking help, and you can get catch a 3 day suspension for 3 days for cussing at a clanker!

I've "heard rumors" that being in the Epstein files is why MacKenzie Scott divorced him

Do you think they needed an Israeli to come up with stupid racist memes?

“Our kids are drawing uncomfortable conclusions about our values, let’s limit their access to information” smacks of the pulpit.

I still can’t believe the Obama speechwriter explicitly calling for less visibility of Palestinian suffering because it’s making American kids doubt the Netanyahu government.
