So obviously it's dire that NHS has been running a campaign for a couple years that goes "we're really underresourced please god talk to a pharmacy first" but also I do really need those of you that don't live here to see one of the ads for it
It burns when I pee pharmacy

This is such a damning quote lmao. Like I had a great time with K-Pop Demon Hunters but none of Netflix’s stuff can beat some of the stuff in Warner’s library
"Our mission has always been to entertain the world," said Ted Sarandos, co-CEO of Netflix. "By combining Warner Bros.' incredible library of shows and movies — from timeless classics like Casablanca and Citizen Kane to modern favorites like Harry Potter and Friends — with our culture-defining titles like Stranger Things, KPop Demon Hunters and Squid Game, we'll be able to do that even better."

I’m not expecting the BBC to pull out given, y’know, [gestures at the last few decades], but they and the non-boycotting broadcasters are spineless cowards for letting this happen

Presenting: The Second Year of This Nonsense
It’s me, in a dimly-lit presentation room, stood in front of St Nicks-branded slides for the 2026 budget. The picture on the screen is my face photoshopped onto Rachel Reeves at the Downing Street briefing room, with her podium photoshopped to say “(A) Building For The Future” instead of whatever vapid government slogan was there in the first place

Bong Joon Ho hit me up for the squad you legend deadline.com/2025/11/bong...
Bong Joon Ho took a characteristically radical approach when questioned on his thoughts around the rise of Al technology at the jury press conference of the Marrakech Film Festival on Saturday. The Korean director, who is president of the jury, gave two responses, one measured, the other deeply personal. "My official answer is, Al is good because it's the very beginning of the human race finally seriously thinking about what only humans can do. But my personal answer is, I'm going to organize a military squad, and their mission is to destroy AI," he said.

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao
screenshot of a tumblr post from user “wildmansters” The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.

I do understand: you want permission. There’s a machine in the corner wrapped in human skin that makes things out of shit and blood to look like whatever you want (as long as you don’t look too closely). You gave one to your teacher and they didn’t notice. Your boss told you to use it after they laid off half the team and it was fine. You fed one to your kids and they liked it. You want to know you can use it sometimes without me thinking less of you. You don’t need me to believe it’s useful, you just want me to be polite about it. But I am a hater, and I will not be polite. The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.

The Verge exists so @seanhollister.bsky.social can go deep on the new Steam Machine, the culmination of over a decade of Valve investing in making Linux run Windows games better than Windows www.theverge.com/games/818622...

£8.50 for all of this!!! (Not all of it is visible so the titles are in the alt text)
A pile of DVDs and CDs from a charity shop. They are: Groove Armada’s greatest hits, three blank DVD-Rs, the first seasons of The Wire and Arrested Development, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, O Brother Where Art Thou, Blade Runner and Fargo (the film), joined by free-with-mid-2000s newspaper copies of Stars by Simply Red, All Saints’ All Hits, and the film Paris, Texas

is it better for countries to invest in boring things like transport and energy infrastructure or should they invest all their money in useless chatbots that talk in reddit-voice on the vague and completely unsubstantiated hope that they'll be able to do something profitable one day
