"Did you know [iconic role] was almost played by [different famous actor]?"
Yes, because 99.99% of showbiz is meetings, it takes thousands of meetings to get a film made and in the course of those meetings every possible actor is discussed for every possible role

Drug addiction is a physical and mental health issue not a personal failing so shame, scorn and forced abstinence do not cure it. It changes the brain chemistry.

The fact that this "miracle" has had four or five years to develop a use case and still hasn't presented anything people will pay for should have been the end of it, but somehow it's not ...
Is there any data whatsoever that "younger listeners" actually want this? Or did they just have a contract with an AI voice company and this is what they shat out and because it's new they've decided it's for the youth.

The most important thing I learned in college was when I went grocery shopping for myself and bought the fancy all-natural bread with "no preservatives," as to avoid the chemicals that had poisoned the last generation, then was shocked that 48 hours later it was covered in mold

it is an underrated miracle of the 21st century that we really did massively, massively reduce bullying in schools
My experience as well. So far we're 2-for-2 on kids having a largely bullying/abuse-free middle school experience. Not without bumpy spots of course, but light years away from what I endured.
My hot take: the anti-bullying stuff has really worked, which is why conservatives are pushing back at it.

for what it’s worth I got roped into helping out with my sixth grader’s extracurricular thing so I’ve had more recent contact with middle schoolers who aren’t mine than I usually do, and biased sample/biased reviewer/etc but my verdict is that the kids are all right

The key to understanding capitalism is that dog treats have shapes like "steak" even though that means nothing to the dog. The target audience isn't the dog, but the human, and the goal of the product is not to satisfy the dog, but to make the human feel like a good dog owner.

One of the big downsides of late-2010s social media "cancel culture," or whatever you wanna call it, is how it taught way too many well-meaning leftists that shunning celebrities is activism.
And I guess it is, in entertainment and online influencer culture. Politics is quite a different story.

Said this before, but "AUSTIN POWERS 4" should be a spoof of "Maverick"-legasequels, with Austin as mentor to an agent frozen at end of the 90s and thawed now - but with a recurring gag re: how STAGGERING little society has changed between 1997-2027 compared to Austin's massive 67-97 culture shock
Watching AUSTIN POWERS and another reminder of the wildness of time.
Powers is frozen for 30 yrs, defrosting in 1997.
Surprised with all the reboots, they aren’t doing a 2027 reboot of how a secret agent frozen in 1997 comes back in 2027 to defeat an evil henchman.
Maybe too on the nose.
