But the key thing about the kind of culture-work that Coogler is interested in--that the vampires want, and cannot have--is that it is ABOUT AND DERIVED FROM loss, death, and individuality. Those are *good* things. Those are the things vampires and LLMs cannot have, and so, have to keep eating.

I don't think Coogler exactly set out to make a movie About Capitalism, but there are two ways to theorize capitalism: one is to read Marx, but the other is to work for a living. I think Coogler made a movie about studio vampires and, as a result, made a movie about how capitalism eats culture.

But I think Sinners really comes into focus if you just posit, straight up, that this is a movie about Ryan Coogler having made Black Panther--or more generally, having made movies--and after having attempted to put on his show, getting attacked by vampires (studio capitalism)

Weird situation. AI adoption in the work world is stagnating, while higher-ed institutions are rushing to embrace it so that students will be prepared for…the work world?
“we estimate employment-weighted share of Americans using AI at work has fallen by a percentage point & now sits at 11%. Adoption has fallen sharply at the largest businesses, those employing +250 people. 3 yrs into the genAI wave, demand looks surprisingly flimsy” www.economist.com/finance-and-...
Investors expect AI use to soar. That’s not happening
Recent surveys point to flatlining business adoption

Could someone please force these people to explain what it is they mean by “secure border”? What does that mean to you? Is it fentanyl being stopped? Is it no one gets asylum anymore? Does it have anything with what the word “security” means, like in the dictionary?
Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

Trump calling Somalis "garbage" en route to a literal militarized purge of the community is a real litmus test for Democratic party politicians. Imagine being so worthless that they can't find time even to speak up about it.

I think the funniest thing about Bryan Johnson is he's not even a billionaire. He's a mere hundred millionaire who has been ceremonially given billionaire status by being extra off-putting and insane.

An article that wasn't focused on elite colleges might be capable of considering that disability accommodations are about a student getting a good education for themselves rather than framing things in terms of a hunger games competition for who gets to be elite in society
