Tech has really ruined a lot, but the next frontier of not ruining things is medical.

His first comment is rarely expressed but truly the sharpest insight about AI. So far all these advances tell us more about what intelligence isn’t.

It’s like the old saw about the Michelangelo: “I just chisel away every bit that isn’t David.”

Trump is going to be extorting Farmers selling limes and avocados within 3 weeks. It's just two on the nose with this criminal.

Be right back, before pardoning a drug trafficker cocaine mobster kingpin, we're going to go kill some fishermen near Venezuela.
WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

Is the only Thanksgiving film the A24 Horror film "Krisha"?

It is, simply, a realistic shitshow of a family dinner. It's harrowing.

I hate the rickety scaffolding of what appears to be the broken infrastructure of the internet.

Every claim of AI or bells and whistles is probably underpinned by a monochrome screen in a basement hooked up to a IBM AT with a 10mb hard drive and floppy disks.

Monomaniacal focus, Ahab and me.

God help thee, old man, thy thoughts have created a creature in thee; and he whose intense thinking thus makes him a Prometheus; a vulture feeds upon that heart forever; the vulture the very creature he creates

The day before the shooting, I saw a National Guardsman bring a bag with food to a man panhandling outside of CVS.
💯. It's not these patriotic citizens' fault they're being used as performative props by a corrupt, mendacious, and deranged president. They deserve our kindness and respect, and now, devastatingly, our deepest concern and sympathy. 😢

It is very possible that youth pinpointed and recognized the cancer, and aren't playing ball. It is quite possible that "social media" was a 25 year blip on society. I doubt that, but we can hope.
We can only hope...
The digital world is starting to look more and more like a cancer on the human race.
A couple weeks ago we were talking about seeing so many kids with fishing poles, and finding out the youngest generation are almost the reverse of digital natives, forgoing social, etc. Basically, we ruined it.

Just drove by Golden gate Park archery range and it was full of kids and families.

You are going to get so many Chair Company references.
Okay, okay. Time for some real holiday cheer.

A Christmas Carol (1984)
The classic tale of Ebenezer Scrooge, haunted by three ghosts before Christmas Day.
George C. Scott is still a powerful force, and makes this TV movie an all timer.
Who's seen this one? Or what's your definitive Christmas Carol?

This guy didn't even know the film, but Danger: Diabolik 4K UHD restoration vs old version.

Side by side confirms my suspicion: @kinolorber.com Charlotte Barker's restoration of this film might be the high water mark for reference quality in all physical media history.
