Super fun watching the company that made billions claiming “our AI will solve cancer” has pivoted to “our AI will make a bunch of shit that already exists, but worse” and apparently people are still pretending it’s not all a giant grift.

D’Angelo’s Genius Was Pure, and Rare

The musician, who died this week, made work so sensual it prompted women at his concerts to howl for him to disrobe. But his artistry was always deeper than that.

MGM+ is making "Bosch: Start of Watch" a prequel series that will "explore the origin story of Michael Connelly’s legendary detective Harry Bosch."

a) I think we're Bosched-out by now

b) Why does MGM+ continue to exist if MGM was sold to Amazon a few years ago? What are their subscriber numbers!

The OG is truly the best imo. I watched Bosch Legacy and it was meh to me. I didn't bother with Ballard because it looked like a soft glam promo for LAPD. No thanks. I would've checked out a spinoff with J Edgar/Jamie Hector but that wasn't to be. So, yes, I agree, we're Bosch'd out.

It’s wild how much whiteness wants credit for putting out fires it started.

Black people are told to be thankful to white people for “saving” us from slavery they created.

US presidents boast about ceasefire deals for conflicts they funded with tax money.

Whiteness isn’t water. It’s Kerosene.

There's nothing inherently shocking about the far right doing/saying far-right things, but it is a good reminder of how quickly terms associated with extremist fringes move into the "mainstream" discourse (however defined these days), thanks to politicians and institutions adopting them.
