Instead of making robots that reduce our society's need to have back breaking labour and exploit the weakest, these big LLMs keep trying to take away the few moments we have at communal expression: Our writing, our art. That is the opposite direction that it should be going in.

Feeling that visceral moral contempt for this regime? That's not soul-damaging. It's soul-affirming. It takes a damaged soul not to feel that contempt.

For those willing to support us at $100 or more, we're offering the very first (hopefully of many annual ones to come) Techdirt commemorative coin (yes, a real, physical coin). This first one, for 2026, is celebrating 30 years of Section 230.

The fundamental problem with all these shitty live action remakes is that no one asks "Why?" Why does this need to be remade. Why would anyone watch this over the original? Remakes can work, but you need to build upon the original, and do new and interesting things. "Make it live action" is not one.
I’m still traumatized by seeing the Ron Howard Grinch in theaters in middle school
it probably is responsible for my deep hatred of “live action” remakes of animated films, as I reflect on this dark memory

“There is not a teapot orbiting the sun” is not an evidence-based claim because you can‘t prove there isn’t
This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says:
“The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.

The facts are complicated, but here’s a summary of what appears to have happened based on the filings and today’s hearing:
NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court.
Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

I used to work at a 100 year old amusement park, and saw plenty of weird things to know it was haunted as shit. Granted, those could be explained by it being a 100 year old amusement park, but also, ghosts.
