People are desperate for validation, for acceptance, for reassurance, for someone to tell them they are loved
The computer can say these words to them but does so without meaning what it says
Desperate people want to see those words in the 2nd person regardless of sincerity
So they are exploited

Jodorowsky's Dune is a perennial one-that-got-away favorite but friends it's been 40 years and I'm still holding out hope for Buckaroo Banzai Against The World Crime League, as foretold by the ancient title texts
What's the movie that almost got made but never came together that you're bummed about?
Mine is the William Gains biopic Philip Seymour Hoffman was trying to get made

Been studying the art of popcornbending for over a decade now and of course I still have much to learn
F'rinstance today while scooping out a fresh sample for a taste test I didn't have a cup at hand so I just poured from the scoop into my palm and a hot unpopped kernel reminded me why we use cups

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

After listening to how Sonya spent her afternoon trying to get Copilot out of Word for Mac, where it snuck in so badly there was no ribbon button or any control and the extant Manage Connections option forbidding background auto-updates had not caught it, I'm classing fucking Copilot as malware

Once only Dave Barry celebrated this as if it were a national holiday, which it now is
🚨 EXPLODING WHALE DAY🚨
November 12, 1970:
A 40 ton whale carcass lays, rotting, on an Oregon beach.
A crowd has gathered to watch the whale carcass be dynamited to dispose of it.
HILARITY*. ENSUES.

REMASTERED VIDEO!

Absolute carnage in the family group chat as my cousin posts a Christmas riddle from her fiancé’s office that no one can figure out, only to find that someone in the office got ChatGPT to make up the riddle and it’s gibberish that doesn’t have a solution

what's great is a brief dive into the Billing of Boris Karloff
My favorite opening credits come from the 1931 Frankenstein because they're so intent on creating a mystery around the monster that they credit him with "?" as if to say "Ooooh, who could it be? We don't knooowwwww... Is it even an actor?? Oooooh"

IT'S '6-7', COOPER. A GENERATION ALPHA TREND. WHAT THEY CALL A 'MAY-MAY'. IT'S AN ORPHANED SIGNIFIER, NO SIGNS ATTACHED. ONE COULD CALL IT DADAIST, BUT SOMME SAY IT'S TOO STUPID TO BE DADA. IT'S ANTI-MEANING, ANTI-HUMOUR, BUT DAMN IF THOSE KIDS DON'T FIND IT A CRACK-UP.

the scales gotta fall sometime, might as well be early
At 16 I did a part time job in a new supermarket. I asked who counts the people. Blank looks. "For the millionth customer prize," I explained. A colleague explained they just pick a photogenic person for a news story. That's when I realised there will never be justice.

Remember, no matter how uncomfortable you may ever feel about something, it is nowhere near as uncomfortable as Natalie Merchant was about hosting 120 Minutes in April 1993.
