Just seen the news of Gene Hackman and his wife Betsy Arakawa passing away, terribly sad news. He was a gargantuan performer in so many films I love, ones I remember from being a child through hto an adult, and many I rewatch still. RIP

Throughout our history, we have had so many notions of other human beings not being “like us” - a measurement chart of whose lives are worthy and whose existence can be dismissed m.youtube.com/watch?v=2CTp...

Imagine a company (we'll call them Premier Sports Network) published a 3,300w article on their website that was over 95% plagiarised word-for-word from your work. What would you do? Well, I sent them an invoice. This is what happened next... theuglygame.wordpress.com/2025/02/06/p... 1/

Gift link to Kyle MacLachlan's essay on #DavidLynch in the NYT. "It’s why he never wanted to explain his work. He wasn’t trying to be surly or obtuse....It’s just that explaining his art after the fact seemed antithetical to the very point of making it."

Since Nosferatu is stalking across UK cinemas now, we’ve got some prizes to give away – so good, they’d even tempt Count Orlok across the seas. 🦇 To win a Nosferatu vinyl LP and candle – follow, repost, and tell us: what’s an LP you reckon Count Orlok has on repeat?

My thought for the morning. I still remain staggered that a major film company deleted completed films to get a short term tax break. Batgirl, Scoob: Holiday Haunt and Coyote Vs Acme may have been great, may have been terrible. But they were each destroyed by corporate vandalism.

Facebook has been losing active users and engagement at a steady rate for several years. The site is barely usable now. This plan seems terrifying but is merely sheer desperation. The line stopped going up, Meta will fall.

why the only employees that “AI” is qualified to replace are CEOs and execs - entire existence is reliant on the labor of other people - wrong about most things while being cartoonishly over confident - we’re told its great and amazing and smart but really just wastes everyones time
