Deeply embarrassing. Some thoughts are inside thoughts.
I was asked what I thought now that #pluribus has reached seven episodes.
I’m not seeing any of the liberal subtext some folks are seeing. But I’ve learned to watch the show by fast forwarding through the long, artsy stretches where no one speaks.
There were exactly 2 lines of interesting dialogue.

I did the full Barbenheimer at the @davistheater.bsky.social and it was great. Being in a packed theater at 11 am for Oppenheimer, followed by about 90 minutes at a bar around the corner packed with people wearing pink, and capped with a rowdy screening of Barbie.
Movies! Bringing people together!

Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

I’m no tech genius but what’s buried in here is that this vulnerability is uniquely bad because it runs through the AI tools they’re forcing down our throats.
The solution, then, seems easy: stop forcing AI down our throats.

haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

In case there was any doubt, the actual list is also embarrassing all on its own. Just a bunch of If Books Could Kill style airport book nonsense and Wealth of Nations (which he definitely hasn’t read)

So-called “small talk” is not aimless, and people who claim to hate it are often interminable boors. Engaging in small talk with folks - friends, strangers, people you’re working with for the first time, service industry employees - is an essential responsibility for making societies feel connected
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?
