I was researching human flight and, like, the Wright Brothers achieved flight in 1903 (when they weren't to busy perving on their sister) meanwhile in Istanbul (1633) Lagâri Hasan Çelebi may have survived a flight on a 7-winged rocket powered by gunpowder.

Executives don't actually think AI will help teams innovate, they just think it will mean doing things cheap and fast.
They are gutting the medium you love to line their pockets and it should piss you off.

Imagine being one of the last Uruk-hai to be given the white hand of Saruman, but he was tired from touching so many faces that day and sorta missed your face so you just got like three fingers and a smudge, and now you just have to go through the whole war like that until Aragorn decapitates you.

I often think the reason respected actors sign up for work with bigoted creatives is that, if they didn't, it would reinforce a standard of moral accountability they could potentially suffer from.
Because these aren't starving artists. Saying no wouldn't change their lives in any meaningful way.

this is a lot of people to be deeply disappointed in (and a lot of nonsense casting, not that that matters anywhere near as much)

When I look at really good brisket, I realize that if someone worshiped my corpse with endless hours of smoking, added generationally perfected seasoning, then served me at a party of their loved ones who think I'm absolutely delicoous, Id be LESS mad about being murdered by a cannibal.

Hard agree, as someone who also cut their teeth modding Fallout games. Since Bethesda picked up Fallout, it refused to engage with it's thesis: Capitalism Will Cause Our Doom. Fallout has become an esthetic, a hollow Disneyland version of itself, incurious about its own subject.
As someone who learned how to make games by modding Fallout 4, it has been deeply strange watching Fallout become more and more the antithesis of its own core narrative tenants over the past 10-ish years. And at the same time, it felt almost inevitable from the start?

There needs to be a conversation about how quickly the military & law enforcement services stepped in line with the administration's demands regardless of legal precedent. Video after video depicts a system of power absolutely horny at thought of putting the boot down on their fellow citizens.
A man, near the White House, who describes himself as a "retired disabled combat veteran," after burning an American flag tells bystanders "I am being detained because I expressed my First Amendment rights."
