The Jim Carrey Grinch is not a good movie, but unfortunately it came out during a period of my life that I’m nostalgic for, so I’m cursed with an eternal fondness for it

These losers are still mad about Kaepernick
NEW: A legal group founded by Stephen Miller filed a federal complaint this week against the NFL's San Francisco 49ers, calling for investigation into discrimination arising from DEI. The complaint names Head Coach Kyle Shanahan and says "merit is apparently tossed aside for woke ideology."

This is Newsom's strength, and weakness. He is absolutely amenable to the will of the voters, which is good! But he's also a soulless husk with no morals of his own
Now that the GOP is attacking him as being too pro trans, Newsom is pushing back. Hmm.

This is your regular reminder to go watch Boardwalk Empire if you've never done so. One of the greatest shows of all time that somehow seems to have almost no cultural significance

Instead of making robots that reduce our society's need to have back breaking labour and exploit the weakest, these big LLMs keep trying to take away the few moments we have at communal expression: Our writing, our art. That is the opposite direction that it should be going in.

Feeling that visceral moral contempt for this regime? That's not soul-damaging. It's soul-affirming. It takes a damaged soul not to feel that contempt.

For those willing to support us at $100 or more, we're offering the very first (hopefully of many annual ones to come) Techdirt commemorative coin (yes, a real, physical coin). This first one, for 2026, is celebrating 30 years of Section 230.

The fundamental problem with all these shitty live action remakes is that no one asks "Why?" Why does this need to be remade. Why would anyone watch this over the original? Remakes can work, but you need to build upon the original, and do new and interesting things. "Make it live action" is not one.
I’m still traumatized by seeing the Ron Howard Grinch in theaters in middle school
it probably is responsible for my deep hatred of “live action” remakes of animated films, as I reflect on this dark memory
