Hey world, remember when you thought this was awesome? (Which, by the way, it was). Yeah well she's been suspended for a week now because of it; it's coloniser rules and forms of expression allowed only, indigenous people must only be angry in white ways.

@joellemonique.bsky.social discussion on The Force and #Andor during this episode was spot on.

As always, the whole crew delivered the most entertaining, most insightful discussion of the week for me.

one of the reasons i wrote this piece is to get away from the gauzy mythology of the civil rights movement "spontaneous mass resistance" "rosa parks was just tired". no. the movement remains a masterclass in the tactics--and the *strategy*--of resistance.

I worked at the Laemmle in Santa Monica during college and it was one of my favorite jobs ever. Bob would occasionally come by and was always so friendly and helpful when we had issues at the theatre. This is so sad ❤️

Don't ever use AI, even (and especially) as a joke to show how AI is terrible.
“In order to shoot off one email per week for a year, ChatGPT would use up 27 liters of water, or about one-and-a-half jugs… that means if one in 10 U.S. residents—16 million people—asked ChatGPT to write an email a week, it’d cost more than 435 million liters of water.”
AI doesn’t just require tons of electric power. It also guzzles enormous sums of water.

I think it also should be mentioned that the person who really got this going was Rick Caruso, the West Coast Trump/developer who Bass kicked the ass of in the election, and who falsely spread conspiracy theories about fire hydrants in the same radio interview.

Anyway, Christina Sharpe wrote that “the Internet allows for the consensual as well as the nonconsensual acting out of racialized fantasies” in “Racialized Fantasies on the Internet” back in 1999 (!!!) and here we are with actual profile interactive AI blacks in 2025.
why do we need AI-generated profiles. why

Lorraine O'Grady lifted me up with her intellect, her wit, her nerve. This assignment came at a point in my life when I needed it and didn't even know. She was a blessing.

I am saddened to know Lorraine has passed, and I am endlessly grateful to her. She lit flames that will never go out. 🖤
