Hi all, currently transitioning over in between work shifts. Will probably be reposting a few of my old tweets to pad out my profile and show I’m not a bot to folks. Just a heads up. :)
Hope to find people again soon!

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

just horrible that you can put so much good out in the world and just get the absolute worst the world has in return.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.
All from his movies.

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.

I really can't process this Rob Reiner news (or any of the horrible news that has happened this weekend), but I just remembered that the When Harry Met Sally phonecall TV watching scenes were inspired by something he and Billy Crystal used to do in real life. My heart goes out to everyone grieving

Because they don’t actually care that people hate it.
They only care that it’s still detectable.
They’ll keep doing this until people either don’t notice or don’t complain enough for it to be a problem, then move forward with it.
That’s the whole purpose of manufactured consent. It’s “training”.

It's truly wild to me that this just keeps happening. Coca-Cola runs an AI ad and people overwhelmingly react with disgust. They do it again, and people are disgusted again. Now McDonald's makes an AI ad that's so bad that so many people are furious about it they pull it down.
People hate AI slop!
