I love how tech keeps going back to humanoid robots even though literally any other design would be safer, more useful, and more stable for personal use. "no it has to be a SERVANT," screams the reptile hindbrain

Lee Atwater had a pungent and famous quote about how once conservatives could no longer use the n-word they used things like “states’ rights” to invoke the same spirit. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration any more — if it ever was — to say they use DEI as the n-word.

These emails, sent across agencies, compel all federal employees to snitch on any colleague whose work might have some vague DEIA inflection. Those who refuse to snitch will be disciplined. Seems designed to put all workers who aren’t white men under a cloud of suspicion. Truly vile stuff.

In all seriousness: the last 2 weeks of TikTok posturing and Zuck grovelling, combined with the X insanity of the last year, should show you that an app with a feed that you don’t control serves other people’s interests - not yours.

Ah, fuck. This one hurts. The world feels like a poorer place without his creativity in it, really glad I watched so many of his works over the last six months and connected with so many of them. RIP to the cinematic king of the subconscious 💔

A truly awful day for movies and art, losing one of the most singular and brilliant voices to ever make them. We've unlocked our full David Lynch issue from 2017, which is now entirely free to read. R.I.P. Mr. Lynch, and thank you forever for the work and example you left us.

Way more worried about the olds who can't seem to tell that just because they read it on Facebook doesn't mean it's true, than the youngs who, in my experience, treat social media as the toxic waste it's largely become.

You ever had a film on your watchlist for decades because you’ve heard it’s a classic and you’re a good little cinephile and then you finally watch it and it completely blows your mind with how extraordinary it is? That was me last night watching THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER
