In theory Russell Brand is innocent until proven guilty of multiple rape charges, but shouldn't the fact that he's been parading around as a Born Again Evangelical Christian count as a signed confession?

Remember how I said I have it written into my foreign-language contracts that my work has to be translated by an actual human? This shit is why.
Those book translations are gonna suck. They'll save money putting out books that are going to be painful to read. That's not a great long-term strategy.

French publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations.
All their freelance translators (some of whom had been working with Harlequin for +30y!!!) were told they would no longer receive work from Harlequin

THEY'VE PUT ME ON THE POCKETSTATION COOP. I'M BEING RENDERED IN A 32 BY 32 GRID OF MONOCHROME PIXELS. THE BOYS BACK AT QUANTICO SAID THEY'RE GOING TO RELOCATE ME TO A "DOKO DEMO ISSYO" UNTIL THEY CAN GET THIS STRAIGHTENED OUT.

At SNL I worked with artists who made the funniest, stupidest graphics in no time flat. Some of my biggest jokes would have been impossible without these geniuses building an insane image or finding the perfect real-life photo of a politician. Sucks that their work is being pushed aside for slop.

I think it's becoming clear that if you like indie creators, you're going to need to support them any way you can. And that doesn't mean money, just spreading worth of mouth can be powerful as well.

I think centrists having a smug little gloat about whatever is going on with "Your Party" when most of us on the left have found a lot of hope in the Greens is a bit weird when Labour is tanking so very biblically. We get it, guys, it's football to you.

Cancel culture = asking people to use correct pronouns.
Not cancel culture = getting people fired coz they weren’t sufficiently sad about a dead Nazi YouTuber.

YouTube is upset that creators have managed to create direct relationships with advertisers without them as the middleman. That's it. That's the motivation behind almost every new thing they've added to the site in the last couple of years.

Of course this won’t happen but in my opinion the perfect punishment for Trump and Musk is that they share one Magneto-type prison cell for the rest of their lives. Only each other to talk to; only each other to look at. One toilet: the one from that bar in Trainspotting.

Honestly kind of funny to me that people on Twitter started complaining about me again immediately yesterday with the Leone situation. If my lasting memory is being associated with the argument that horror is and always has been a progressive art form then I think that’s a good thing.
