Can we please just have a global realignment on AI where we keep the machine learning and boring-task-automation and all the other stuff that's USEFUL and just stop even pretending that AI can make anything even remotely adjacent to "art"?
PEOPLE make art. AI can do numbers and pattern-recognition.

Once again #SCOTUS tells Republicans “We don’t know if this is unconstitutional or not, so go ahead and keep doing it while we decide.” Whereas Democrats must always stop immediately until they can prove what they’re doing is legal.

This means either:
1) He isn't in them, and never was.
2) He WAS in them, and they're heavily edited / redacted.

I’m so tired of the Supreme Court’s attitude of “We’re not sure if that’s legal or not, so just to be sure you should go ahead and do whatever you want, and we’ll let you know in a few months what we decide.

The Gholam thing... was pretty much done, I think. Never really had much to work with him anyway -- I think he has a half-dozen lines of dialogue in the whole series. It was fun, though.

Autumn, the falling leaves bring
Air with a slight chilly sting,
But mostly the sign
Of the changing of time
Is Pumpkin Spice in EVERYTHING.
Yes, I know that "sign" and "time" are a slant rhyme.
No, I don't care.

Encanto is an absolutely terrible movie… for putting on in the background while doing chores.
Dos Oruguitas is just as devastating the 10th time as it was the 1st.
And then immediately into “You’re the real gift, let us in.”
I don’t need to be weeping on a Sunday afternoon. I have laundry to do.

Found out yesterday that WalMart's app order pickers get a map to get what they need most efficiently, down to which direction to go down each aisle.
They need to release that to the public.
I want Waze for the grocery store. Make a list, get a map, zip through in ten minutes.

I love it when someone assumes that I'll love grunge and be anti-authoritarian just because I'm GenX.
I mean, I DO like grunge.
And I don't trust authority figures.
But not because I'm GenX. :\
And yes, I still occasionally use emoticons.
That MIGHT be because I'm GenX.

The fact that there are two franchises referred to as "Avatar" is in NO WAY CONFUSING when they both refer to elements like Water and Fire in fundamental ways. "The Way of Water" could be a waterbending move. The next show could be called "Fire and Ash" and that would be in no way inconsistent.

Just once, I want to be surprised. I want to be wrong. But the Cheeto has proven to be utterly, predictably incapable of making anything but the stupidest and / or most evil choices whenever they are presented.
The shame of his election will be with us for decades. And rightly so.

I just have to ask… what did they expect? Did they think “Well we’ll launch some missiles, kill some scientists, and they’ll just go ‘Ope, ya got me’ and give up?”
Among (many*) other things, just breathtakingly short-sighted.
“We’re under attack.” YOU attacked, numbnuts! FA, meet FO.

The only reason she isn’t THE perfect casting is that there are So Many perfect castings in this show. Casting director deserves all the love for a job spectacularly done. And our Faile… top five in the entire show. Maybe top three.
