They added this to their audio branding, and I feel like this is a big step toward the general backlash.

I would broadly agree. I also felt like the pacing had serious issues with far too much buildup for too little payoff.
That said, I love it because it has vision and is someone trying to communicate an intent, rather than just paint-by-numbers committee work.

I think my hottest take of the year remains that Sinners is kind of thematically confused and accidentally reactionary

The only reason I have shot as much film as I have is because I was gifted a bulk roll of Delta 100 back in 2011 from my school, and finally got a bulk roller in 2022.
I recommend them to anyone.

So I bought myself a bulk loader the other day. Now all I need is 30m of film to go into it.

It's unbelievable to me how fast LLM gen stuff has given me the "ick." I see it and it's just an instant turn-off because of all of its associations.
I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

I've read a few of the attempts to redefine the poverty line now, and this one is pretty compelling. I would suggest his analysis of the housing market could be made more robust by considering the housing hoarding problem (ie it's not about housing starts), but this has some good arguments
"If you keep Orshansky’s logic—if you maintain her principle that poverty could be defined by the inverse of food’s budget share—but update the food share to reflect today’s reality, the multiplier is no longer three.

So I learned about this a few months ago, and now I'm trying to remember how I learned to read in school in 2000-2001 in Alberta.
I recall a focus on sounding out words, and formal construction, so I think it must have been phonics-based. It worked very well for me.
This seems atrocious.

In context with the JK Rowling stuff this morning: a reminder that when you define politics as good groups and bad groups rather than good or bad actions, you have people who do bad things who still think that they are "good" people because they align with the "good" group.
Honestly, one of the things that's most shocked me about the last 10 years is the revelation of how many highly-educated elite white men who self-identify as moderates, liberals, and/or Democrats, still seem to be 100% on board with race science and masculine superiority.
How dare you imply that our friendship was based on leering at teenage girls, it was based on sorting races into C, B, A and S tiers

A few years ago I found the Willie and Joe WWII collection at a used book store. For someone who was drawing at the front, the comics have a dense and beautiful linework, and a real authenticity because of it.
That's a really lovely tribute by Schultz to a cartoonist too few remember.
