It’s honestly so baffling to me that some people genuinely believe god created gender norms/roles. Like they really think god made it so all girls love pink, all boys love trucks, all men must work & make money, and all women must be moms. Like, gender norms aren’t even consistent across generations

The conservative cultural project right now is to use the coercive power of the state to do affirmative action for bigots.

This is as good as this stuff will ever be, this is the phase where we're all supposed to be getting hooked in to this disruptive new thing. Once the free money dries up and they have to turn a profit, it will inevitably get worse and worse
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

Parents do not do this to their children, even their adult children, on accident or incidentally to their other views. This is a reification of something they feel in their relationship and they are acting it out on their son. I don't think it's good that this is content. It should not be.

The podcast's tagline is, "Family therapy through politics." Frankly, I think it's some sort of sick debasement ritual to stick this out. They can call the parents stupid, but who are the stupid ones, the morally nihilistic authoritarians or the ones expecting them to change? Let's get real.
On “The Necessary Conversation” podcast, Chad’s Trump supporter parents tell him the military should follow Trump’s illegal orders and kill everyone in LA if Trump commanded it — even with him and his sister in the city😳

Trump supporters have made it unfashionable to be distrustful of the media. Whenever you call out the media for being wishy washy, biased, or dangerous, a handful of liberals will automically compare you to Trumpies who think anyone who is even remotely critical of Trump is fake news.
Hate it here.

When Howard Dean was the Democratic frontrunner for President, he was disqualified, by the media, for yelling "Yeah!" once.
At some point we just have to admit that mainstream media sources are biased.

Remember in 2000 when Al Gore was repeatedly misquoted as having said he invented the internet and that was seen the eyes of many as disqualifying him from office? Simpler times. Today, Trump makes up lies equivalent to "I invented the internet" 30 times a week and no one bats an eye. Good job media

I don't want a "cancelled performer" - aka someone facing consequences for the actions that directly harmed others - to "reenter the culture".
No one person is talented enough to justify telling THOUSANDS of other equally talented people they must either leave or be potential abuse targets.

When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

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?

The one that immediately springs to mind is The Mitchells vs. the Machines, I'm an animation fan largely burnt out on so many of the popular humour styles, and not only is it one of the funniest animated movies in recent years, it's better on repeat!

It's been 30 years. People just need to accept that Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You is a stone cold Christmas classic and stop acting like it's some yearly assault on the purity of Christmas music playlists.

The new film “Hamnet” offers up a vision of William Shakespeare as “Marlon Brando in Elizabethan drag,” writes Drew Lichtenberg. While this character may appeal to some, it “played to me like mumblecore Shakespeare, conceived for the TikTok generation.”

Opinion | ‘Hamnet’ Reimagines Shakespeare for the TikTok Generation
Our love of his plays have led to a centuries-long fascination with the writer. So why does each new fictional iteration get his life so wrong?

A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?
