The funniest (ha ha I'm laughing) thing about it is that while the exact reasons don't matter, it's super unclear whether this is an issue because it technically counts as noncon or because a nonzero number of influential people believe it can literally trans your gender.
The fact that "hypnosis" has become one of the concepts regularly banned on adult websites makes me feel fully insane. We are truly living in the nightmare return of every Christian conservative moral panic we ever laughed at.

For decades the right wing has moaned about affirmative action and about how they can't trust a professional who graduated under those conditions. It was bs. But now we apparently have academic protection for cruel idiots instead and how are you going to trust the professionalism of these graduates?

Still wild to me that companies got together and lied about a mass shoplifting epidemic and fundamentally changed things in all stores so that it’s worse for everyone, and then we found out they lied, and no one fucking did anything about it, and this is just life now

In private messages, we all agreed: this was bad for the shows, bad for consumers, and bad for our translation teams. No one was benefiting from this, except for the company's bottom line... and honestly, even that was all speculation.
But complaining to our management didn't do much.

Emails are not the hard, time-consuming part of our job. Any person in the industry who's been here a while knows how to write an email.

far too many media orgs have been slow to learn that in the age of social media the headline IS the story
"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.
Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

There was an article in The Guardian a few weeks back about how Gen Z find bookshops preferable to online shopping, and a key factor was that an algorithm will offer you 6000 books identical to the one you just finished whereas a bookseller will offer you three that are different but meet the vibe.

my “AI is over” anecdote is that my wife was hired over the summer to write scripts for a big tech company explaining how to use their AI tools and after many rounds of revisions, the latest notes said “we’re finding a lot of AI fatigue among our users” and to remove all references to AI

They want to rehabilitate sex creeps and criminals because of some combination of the following: a) they've got something in their own past they don't want to have bring them down, b) they want the creep prerogatives that used to come with the gig, c) they're just plain sexist motherfuckers
I'm flummoxed by the underground movement to rehab cancelled figures. There's a rumor that a studio head is planning to begin bringing cancelled people back. It's bananas. The industry has contracted, leaving writers, directors and actors scrambling for work and we're making space for sex criminals?
