Al Jazeera: "Gaza death toll rises as Israel intensifies occupied West Bank attacks."

Life is treacherous for Gazans. They need us as much as ever to survive.

Please give to my dear friend Tasneem so she can feed her children and rebuild their lives. And to others. 🙏

I've always bristled at the animosity between artists and 'the suits', as I know so many smart suits. But the AI hype is driving home a legitimate issue; that many bean-counters have no taste or creative awareness whatsoever, resent artists, and need to be vigorously fought against to protect art.

TPUSA pointing out the "respectful" part of the second professor's message is maybe the most telling thing about everything they stand for.
idk not to mention how very nuanced and normal the actual response here was

MARTY SUPREME is spectacular in every regard, from Josh Safdie's frenetic, fast paced direction to a slew of terrific performances led by an outstanding Timothée Chalamet. My 10/10 review below. #MartySupreme

So devastated to hear about my good friend and former podcast host - he's really one of the best of us, please buy his book to help support him through a terrible time.
Some bad news. The great film and culture writer Nathan Rabin was in a serious car accident. He is expected to recover, but he has a rough path ahead. Now is a great time to buy his new book (I just did, looks cool!) - a thorough investigation of movies about movies.

For @cinemafromthespectrum.com, I wrote about Left-Handed Girl, which features one of the two funniest pet deaths I've seen in any movie all year round.

There's something enthralling to me about how much Stranger Things sucks. Like specifically how this show felt so fresh and creative and genuine when it first came out and how if they went with an anthology series of different casts and supernatural threats it would be an iconic work of american TV

The Democrats actively taking a centrist position is going to be where they'll continually lose to Republicans, many worse than Trump in the years going forward.

Absolutely horrible idea which showcases how out of touch the party is with common people, which means that they're gonna be working with it for the next 60 years

Epic Games sent a DMCA notice to my online stores for my geology-themed design involving a crossed pickaxe and rock hammer that said "PICKS...or it didn't happen" because they asserted that Epic owned all rights to artwork/mention of pickaxes, right before an SVP annual conference. Eric cost me $$$

Imagine if they just subsidized newspapers and magazines the way they’re subsidizing this slop
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

yep. no mention in the article of right wing billionaires ruining the WaPo and CBS. no mention of Murdoch outlets spreading right wing bullshit for decades. no mention of the clear biases of nuzzi and tapper and so many other famous journalists. no mention of destruction of teen vogue.
I’m not sure what to make of this survey, honestly? If you’re a young person in solidarity with Gaza, or against police killings, or you’re trans or queer, would you have reason to trust the news?
A lost generation of news consumers? Survey shows how teenagers dislike the news media
You don't have to tell Cat Murphy or Lily Ogburn about the attitudes of young people toward journalists.

Extremely thankful for the work that the people at Vinegar Syndrome have done to Abel Ferrara's New Rose Hotel, only because I've been too used to seeing this film on a DVD rip for so many years.

This is a good year to be an Abel Ferrara fan.

This is the most embarrassing thing I've read today. "Has been sending millennial cinephiles into critical paroxysms" followed by “mumblecore Shakespeare for the TikTok generation.” Generational mad-libs.
In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

The new film “Hamnet” offers up a vision of William Shakespeare as “Marlon Brando in Elizabethan drag,” writes Drew Lichtenberg. While this character may appeal to some, it “played to me like mumblecore Shakespeare, conceived for the TikTok generation.”
Opinion | ‘Hamnet’ Reimagines Shakespeare for the TikTok Generation
Our love of his plays have led to a centuries-long fascination with the writer. So why does each new fictional iteration get his life so wrong?
