Failure and constraints are the best thing to happen in making art, and also living life, which AI also cannot do
What limits AI is the same thing that inspires real artists: failure. Everyone starts off trying to copy the things they love, and their distinctiveness begins where that imitation falls short.

The announcing is so perfectly CBC and makes me proud to be a Canadian *and* an American
Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

I can barely watch tv and video why on earth would I want to make them, leave me to text and audio, which I enjoy and am good at
One thing about the enormous pressure journalists are under to make videos and TikToks and do streams that kills me is that, like… some of us are meant to be read and not seen. Commenters get SO MAD about the way I look whenever my face breaches containment! Just let me write!

Shakespeare: timeless, timely, prescient, brilliantly performed.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.
