If you’re watching Mighty Nein and animal cruelty is a trigger you’re going to want to skip the end of episode 5. There’s no gore, but there’s a huge amount of emotional distress and one shot they did not need to use.

I think our focus on how LLMs are being pushed on us by venture-capital-backed techbros to replace human artistic labour, or to sell the LLM software itself, is missing one of the most obvious applications...

I am ready to hate the Academy one so I can *finally* properly have one of them I can’t stand….I try really hard with TNG but it’s a bit tricky to argue you hate a series when you enjoy most of the eps.
There have been 12 or 13 Star Trek shows over the course of, what?... almost 60 years?... and the fact that one or two of them have tried to target a slightly different audience than the first few of them did is WHY YOU HAVE A FRANCHISE THAT HAS LASTED ALMOST 60 YEARS, PEOPLE!!!

anyone read Chromophobia by David Batchelor?
Pantone’s 2026 color of the year is technically not a color at all — meet Cloud Dancer, the first-ever white shade to receive the designation from the world’s color authority.
Pantone makes a surprising choice for its 2026 color of the year
We did not see that coming.

‘Oh look at the subtle criticism implied by this photo caption.’
I don’t want subtle criticism anymore. I went overt criticism. I want editorializing. I want the mainstream fourth estate to throw the nazis out of the bar
And to close the marketplace of ideas because it’s full of fascists

Pantone deciding to chase the fash cash after four consecutive Sydney Sweeney movies crash and burn at least in part because of the racist as shit as campaign she took money from may finally be proof that competent and ethical business practice is a fantasy.

White? WHITE? In the same year as the “good jeans” ad?! What are you thinking Pantone?! Why not just go with “Would-be Dictator Fake Tan Orange” while you’re at it. Sheesh.

I got offered a LOT of money to host an official HP podcast and turned it down immediately. I’m assuming since I am not a podcaster that they have an extremely long list of people who have also said no to this. Dunno what‘s going on with the actors but the comics are holding the line lol
Once again thinking about every actor trying to justify taking the money for the new HP series.
