I love Talking Heads, but it's remarkable that Stop Making Sense makes all their studio recordings sound a little worse in comparison. Can't think of another live album that is such a clear upgrade.

my actual favorite thing about the Hades games is that if you head into every fight guns-blazing and die sooner as a result (my strategy), you're rewarded with more story content. more games should consider rewarding me for being bad at video games.

Some transgender people see only darkness in front and behind them.
The current climate is especially accelerating this.
Transgender people just want to love the people they love and live their lives as themselves.

placing parlays that this "film" will:
1) not premier at Cannes
2) flop very hard domestically, despite the budget
3) a story will come out that most of it was fixed in post by cheap outsourced animation labor
4) OpenAI will collapse within a year of release
5) Rob Schneider will be involved

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.

Yet they actually think 1/4th of THE ENTIRE HUMAN POPULATION is gonna spend money on it

not to spoil Weapons for anyone who hasn't seen it yet (if it sounds like your thing, go see it!), but the number of people i've seen be like "this movie is fun but not about anything" is insane considering how on the fucking nose it is at times

let's just tell them outright that we do not support generative AI and how it impacts very negatively on the environment, the people and it fundamentally supports the slavery.

it's actually very impressive how Google has started to destroy its decades-long monopoly on internet usage in just a few short years by adding features either no one asked for or they had better solutions already implemented. true ouraboros shit.
