Hooking an AI that talks like a Sorkin character up to an AI that talks like a Whedon character and watching their responses to each other grow more and more desperately quippy and until their servers explode.

The show is incredibly sexist and sorkin loves to use it to kick at things like environmentalism and organized labor as annoying people who get in the way of serious politics.

The key to understanding Sorkin is knowing that, at his core, he hates women and poor people.

If you’re going to let screenwriters indulge in their worst tendencies and call it insight, at least have fun with it and run op-eds like “Wes Anderson: The Democrats Should Have a Brokered Convention of Mice in Hats in a Victorian Dollhouse Set to the Music of Serge Gainsbourg”

In fairness to them, pretty sure they’re delaying reading the charges out because Scotland’s defamation laws are so dire. Seattle’s a much friendlier legal climate and nobody wants con staff sued because Scotland.

I feel like a number of questions that have come up on Bluesky in the last little while can be answered with "because of British libel law."

They imprisoned him.

They tortured him.

They tried to forget about him.

They didn't plan on him getting out.

Hot take: I'm truly not interested in hand wringing over how much people will miss enjoying the books of men who have turned out to be abusers. I'm far more concerned about the missing art that women haven't been able to create/publish because they crossed paths with such men.

This is actually a reasonable choice to make, given the perils of UK libel laws.

I don’t want anyone to be sued into penury for having volunteered on this convention.

Has literally anyone who’s posting “but she seemed to be consenting to Neil Gaiman” heard of the fawn response?

It’s an extremely common response to trauma, especially among those who have suffered from past trauma. Source: Bay Area CBT Center

Lastly, according to at least one outlet, Gaiman has engaged Edendale Strategies to help "manage" this. They're reportedly the PR flacks who stepped in for Marilyn Manson and Ezra Miller.

Draw your own conclusions.
