251. I think my main issue with The Last Jedi is that while on a dramatic level, it works far better than either Episode 7 or 9, it does have the flattest hit rate for all the jokes it tries (outside the prequels). Only Mark Hamill makes his comedy bits really work.

Am reading Vonda McIntyre’s Star Trek III novel. Wow, she was given a great deal of leeway. Nearly halfway through the book and the movie has hardly started.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

my jaw is on the floor and yet im completely unsurprised. trump’s only political conviction is that he loves a handsome winner
A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.
Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."

i absolutely agree with her on this. TLJ was incredibly well received the first 48 hours and then the youtubers attacked and the whole narrative around the film changed so quickly
Bleak assessment by Leslye. In short: reaction/analysis content creators can shape or even eclipse how a project's received, and studios give that ecosystem unjust weight.
She's too kind here to this lucrative form of cultural vivisection, but recognizing it is a first step to fighting it.

The Luka trade was the exogenous shock that rattled me from my stupor and made me realize almost everyone in power in any field right now is literally, in the clinical sense, addicted to both gambling and attention, and doesn't give a single shit about anyone else. I was clearly not alone here.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.
