If Britain had a Department of Culture, it would be able to engage with this issue.
'the UK creative industries — which contributed £125 billion to the economy in 2024 and supported 2.4 million jobs — are being destroyed by an AI sector that... contributed just £11 billion in the same year and supported only 85,000 jobs." www.thetimes.com/culture/film...
All 2.4m of Britain’s creative workers are at risk — and we know why
A new report into the impact of AI on the creative sector makes for apocalyptic reading. The government must act now

Because then, is the compliment sincere, or just a surface social ritual that goes no deeper than that?

Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent

Catherine O'Hara is taken, while Donald J. Trump still wheezes amongst us. The Lord's aim is notoriously sloppy.

Devastated to hear about the passing of the best O'Hara. Catherine O'Hara was a comedic and dramatic queen.

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

I looked at the Goop Valentine's Gift Guide for fun, and there's a $97 pair of red "bed socks" (they're cute, they have a little heart). They suggest you should roll these up and BUY EM BY THE DOZEN to give the effect of a rose bouquet. AT A COST OF DAMN NEAR $1200. God bless her, never change.

If I've learned anything from books and movies, the tiny people are always there and this is what allows us to see them.
With most psychedelic drugs, you never know what you're going to get. But this mysterious mushroom from China - without fail - causes users to hallucinate tiny people: crawling up walls, popping out from under furniture and marching under doors. www.bbc.com/future/artic...
'They saw them on their dishes when eating': The mushroom making people hallucinate dozens of tiny humans
Only recently described by science, the mysterious mushrooms are found in different parts of the world, but they give people the same exact visions.

So, Kristi Noem scolded someone for saying the name Jonathan Ross, since Jonathan Ross mercilessly murdered Renee Good and now people are talking about Jonathan Ross and she doesn’t think it’s fair to bring heat on Jonathan Ross; so it’s super important that none of us say the name Jonathan Ross.

I honestly don't know how the satirists out there are doing right now. Is there a fund one can donate to? How can they possibly work in these conditions without losing their minds?

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history.
Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

The ignorance, the hubris, the lies, the perfidy.

Trump knows better … he's making money … while the world goes to hell…

It's unbelievable. I don't know of a greater criminal in history"

The absolute joy they take in one another's mad schemes is a delight. It's perilous but non-toxic masculinity, if that makes sense.
Say what you will, but the Jackass dudes were far better role models for young men than these repressed intellectual dark web losers.
