We were sold AI on the basis it was going to cure cancer, solve climate change and advance our lives. Instead all it does is produce social media slop and put ordinary people out of work. I think we're entitled to feel a lot more pissed off than we currently seem to.

One for stand ups, and for people who aren't stand ups, and for men and for women and anyone else.

Even those who love movies may feel that they can't always handle the emotions that a film heats up. They need to talk to friends, to read critics, in order to understand why they're reacting as they are, and whether it's an aberration or others feel the same way. (1976)

I wanted to send out my thanks to anyone who writes and creates amazing stories. Thanks for creating beautiful worlds and characters that we can enjoy. Going into their world is pure escapism and it will never be something I take for granted. #NationalAuthorsDay

We keep seeing startups who want to replace something valuable (therapy, counseling, tutoring, artistic expression) with some tech bullshit under the banner of democratization. But why do we need to invest so much in bad tech that doesn't work instead of just giving people access to what they need?

Can everyone stop with the fascism? It’s really hard to work out what’s hormones, what’s grief or what is a perfectly understandable response to a batshit crazy world.

I’m not saying the film reduced me to an emotional puddle, but I got home and made cake
