Getting a surprise $41 from a class-action data breach lawsuit feels pretty nice. Everyone who leaks my data should have to buy me dinner, actually

I saw Wake Up Dead Man in theaters this weekend and I desperately need to watch it again. That movie has coated every fold in my brain with a sticky tar, holding on with no intention of ever letting go

There are brilliant people who aren't curious and dull knives who thirst for knowledge about the world. I'd much rather talk with a dullard who genuinely wants to know stuff than a genius who can't accept that they might be wrong.

As someone who works in the tech industry--absolutely.
They are testing the waters. These are top-down orders. The ONLY way to stop it is a visceral negative reaction. Write articles. Post your rage. Email. Post. @. All those things.
Only you have the power to kill it.

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.
tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

This is absolutely true. I worked at a small indie store and if a book that wasn't from a major author sold within a month of being brought in, we would reorder. The margin for success is tiny in small bookstores.
I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Too many people see pirating as a form of protest. And it's not. At all. Boycotting is a form of protest. If I ran up in Target and started stealing things, that's not sending a message about Target's practices.
Stop making up reasons why pirating comics is good. It’s not good. Spend a few dollars and buy a book. Quit being a fuckin parasite

I have long posited that Daniel Craig's accent in Glass Onion is better than Knives Out because in Knives Out he is trying to do a real Southern accent and is bad at it but in Glass Onion he is just talking like Foghorn Leghorn, which is something a real gay Southern weirdo would do.
