Crazy quote to come from the writer-director of Inside Out.
When men's workload is automated, it's genius; when women's workload is automated it's a character flaw and morally questionable.

These repeated attempts to "communicate" with AI left me feeling adrift from my own language. I thought of the opposite of poetry. Poetry sets you adrift from language in service of connection to meaning and other people; this is how it recreates language. This set me adrift in service of nothing.
I first saw ANDRÉ IS AN IDIOT at Sundance 2025 and liked it. Two months later, my own father was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. Upon rewatch this doc revealed itself to be something much richer than its humorous approach would suggest.
My four star review for @ebertvoices.bsky.social:
I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.
Me: I didn’t realize comics still published annuals
Also me: Your LCS pulled last year’s HARLEY QUINN annual for you and you thought it was one of the greatest things you’d read that year.
Me: Oh, right. Comics are good.
1. This is despicably evil.
2. This needs to be fought at every level. There is no world in which this cannot be considered cruel and unusual punishment.
3. Those behind this effort need to be exposed and never know a moments peace.
Unbelievable that we still talk about withholding HIV funding as a form of political maneuvering rather than an act of social murder, as if the 80’s + 90’s never happened and we didn’t lose an entire generation to this already.
Fitting that in America’s final form, the epicenter of evil will be a private golf resort for wealthy pedophiles.
Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture.
Understood instantly what it meant.

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.
10000% yes
lol the absolute nerve of Target with this We Salute Black History Month ad blitz.
No. Not a dime, bitch. We know who you are, now.

Rep Melanie Stansbury (D) New Mexico on Twitter today posting "This is not legal with a blue arrow pointing down emoji as a quote reply to a blue check Aaron Blake saying Trump announces he's transferring $10 billion from the US government to his "Board of Peace," which critics have likened to a giant slush fund Trump will control then a CNN link
I wish when I did crimes that the only consequence was that people like the entire Democratic establishment would post "that's not legal" with a sad face emoji while quoting news stories about me doing all those crimes I just keep doing
photo of a READ poster from the 1990's. It features Phil Collins in a French leather jacket and raccoon skin hat holding a book about Davy Crockett. personally, I think he looks like a combination of Robin Williams and Daniel Radcliffe. text says "READ. Phil Collins for America's Libraries"
you don't need ai to wonder what it would look like if Robin Williams and Daniel Radcliffe had a baby. this poster already answered that question, thank you
Still processing this choice by @chicagomag.com. No matter how they couch it, they’re elevating an unapologetic bigot. There’s a lot of real estate between ignoring him and ranking him among the most powerful people in Chicago (ahem, Berwyn), and Chicago Magazine jumped over all of it, eyes closed.
Contemplating the immensity of what Frederick Wiseman brought to documentary filmmaking is too dizzying a task to take on the same day he leaves us. Put it this way: he lived to be 96 while never ceasing to find new ways to see & film & show the world around him in all its complexity. A+ job on life
Losing Duvall and Wiseman on the same day is kind of extra sad, because they were two men whose work was so suffused with curiosity, and an ability to reveal humanity, in a way that spoke to it’s most caring, loving aspects, even when they were revealing the darkness. A lot of love in all that work.
Ah yes the upper class pretentiousness of those ragtime players in Harlem. The snooty caviar garage band class. Those bluegrass players and their yachts. The intractable WASPiness of East LA. I bet those Jazz singers working endless $50 gigs are living on a trust fund.
I think about this film constantly — it was one of the films that put A24 on the map! — and then I think about how I just went to see an A24 film about a woman written and directed by dudes, and every A24 trailer preceding it was also about women penned and directed by dudes.
