Imagine if a clue said:

"An ancient Greek city known for (not having) opulence gave us this word describing a person who enjoys ghetto things"

#Jeopardy

#Jeopardy just used "bougie" again. I don't get it. They wouldn't use the word "ghetto" or "uppity" in clues, so why use "bougie"?

This is the case for a lot of professions and AI.

Not as "politically tinged" as I thought it would be.... #SuperBowl #HalftimeShow #BadBunny

As someone who only looks at the Super Bowl for the performances, it's amazing how every year, the media gets the performance schedule ridiculously wrong.

Typical.

Remember when everyone on social media, but me, had coveted Dall-E and ChatGPT invites?

I make one AI thing, and suddenly there is such a massive, visceral, mob-like, implacable hatred for all things generative AI. 🙄

Oh wow, looks like it's the year of horror, this Oscars Season. #Oscars

However, at this point, knowing that in Hollywood "All Men Are Bad; All Men Are Dangerous" is the key to solving any woman-centered thriller/mystery with a random man in it.

Even though The Housemaid ultimately sccumbs to a now worn-out trope, the fact that half of the movie pretends to go a different direction redeems it...It does a good job of not making the trope too predictable, at least.

Oof..Once again Bluesky has got to update their aporoach to "trending topics." This general/topical summary phrase thing is useless and not working....

Reminder that "Bougie" has racial undertones. It was mostly used as a pejorative for black people (synonymous with saditty & uppity) before a rapper made it mainstream and people started using it to describe things and not just black people. Still, we should stop using it, especially on #Jeopardy

So is Patti LuPone's "The Artist" just a more fictional Gilded Age version of The Cat's Meow (one of my favorite movies)?

Wait...I'm just now seeing this:

So maybe...one day....?

The issue is now-outdated assumptions that newsrooms/editors have to address.

A few years ago this approach would have worked, but this FDA isn't your mom's FDA. Newsrooms have to factor in agenda from once authoritative sources.

News had a similar reckoning with police sourcing a few years ago.

I guess I'll get to re-post this every year for Thanksgiving

However....too bad there isn't an Oscar for Best Scene, because the As Long As You're Mine scene was perfect....

Is there a People's Choice for that? #Wicked

#Wicked Part 2 was ok, but Part 1 was much better.

I still stand by my hot take that they should have figured out a way to make it one film instead of two, and #ForGood's shortcoming shows why. It felt very much like an Act 2 that was all over the place and lacked the grounding #DefyingGravity had.

They try to discourage you by linking the feature to other common features like spellcheck and auto-categorizing your mail, but...oh well.... #gmail

Re: Google Privacy:

Just last week I had a packaged delivered and Gmail alerted me about the delivery details without my authorization. I found it creepy and turned off the "smart feature". That was before the AI news....

Trump, Mamdani make love — not war The incoming New York City mayor and democratic socialist found common ground with the Republican president.

I feel like Zohran Mamdani and his mist on a Celebrity Big Brother season needs to happen at some point. #BB27 #BB28

Why is there a movement to get dogs to start eating high-quality human food, but every new cat food is grosser and trashier than the previous one?

Any tricks/methods for accessing 2024 acs-1 #Census data amid the shutdown? R API only works on older data, and barely.

Bluesky's "Trending" topics has been waaay off lately. I don't know if that's a technical issue or a reflection of usership....

I was expecting "Diane Keaton" to be on the list by now, instead of "Jared Leto" and "Tron".
