Netflix buys Affleck's Al company Netflix acquired InterPositive, an Al filmmaking tech startup founded by Ben Affleck. The company's tools help with post-production tasks and Affleck will join Netflix as a senior advisor. Generated with Al, which can make mistakes
This story would be a real bummer all around, but that added last line makes it funny.

Can vouch for Lamplight City and Rosewater as being really good oldschool Point & Click Adventure games, some very excellent voice acting too.
Betting on the possibility of war crimes being committed should be illegal.
Ending the day remembering it began with the peace & stability US President teaming up with the Israeli Prime Minister committed to peace and killed over 100 little girls at school today in #Iran
I guess there's some comfort in the United States' just STELLAR record involving regime change...
Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.
The "this is fine" dog meme comic, but he's saying "so I have a book coming out".
*sigh*

"Gimme Shelter" (too apropos to the moment, alas) in a transcendent version by Lisa Fischer (with the Georgian Philharmonic Orchestra in Tblisi).

@printrunpodcast.bsky.social is doing a query review drive to raise money for food for families in need in Minnesota!
NEW EPISODE
We talked about working on the nonfiction politics book market, and working on those books when politics is now very concretely right in front of your face

My congressman is Andy Harris. If I can call him first thing in the morning to call him a warpig, you can, too.
Israel, immediately after vaporizing a bunch of little girls:
Mamdani getting a kidnapped kid released from ICE in less than a day kinda lays bare the full depravity of the Democrats' "we can't just DO things" mentality for the last year.
Thank you to @authorsabb.bsky.social heroes @beccacoffindaffer.bsky.social and Ed Underhill, we have some slides that can be shared by anyone about this, with particular reps to target. Let's kill this bill in committee.
MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now.
They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.
GO DONATE.

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow
It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker
This was never about woman's sports
This act is illegal, unethical, malicious, and predicated on a lie.
Not only is this bigoted and transphobic, it's edging right into voter suppression since the SAVE act could still come into play (Call your reps!!). WTF Kansas.
Ahhhh!!
Rep. Al Green held a sign as Trump walked by him in the chamber reading "Black people aren't apes." He was just removed from the chamber.
Also to date no one has actually seeming issued a full apology without qualification to Delroy Lindo or Michael B Jordan for the harm they’ve experienced
And justifying it by the actions of OTHER Black people
And think they are righteous …. Okay
Yeah, we know. That's why he was found liable for rape.
Donald Trump called this the "golden age of America."
For who?
Grocery prices are up.
Rent is up.
Utility costs are up.
Health care costs are up.
I am often triggered by what I see and/or what I hear, and this part of the condition is called echolalia. For example, when the chair of BAFTA started speaking on Sunday, I shouted, "Boring." On Sunday, Alan Cumming joked about his own sexuality and, when referencing Paddington Bear, said, "Maybe you would like to come home with me, Paddington. It wouldn't be the first time I have taken a hairy Peruvian bear home with me." This resulted in homophobic tics from me and led to a shout of "pedophile" that was likely triggered because Paddington Bear is a children's character.
I would appreciate reports of the event explaining that I ticked perhaps 10 different offensive words on the night of the awards. The N-word was one of these, and I completely understand its significance in history and in the modern world, but most articles are giving the impression I shouted one single slur on Sunday.
StudioCanal were working closely with BAFTA, and BAFTA had made us all aware that any swearing would be edited out of the broadcast. I have made four documentaries with the BBC in the past, and feel that they should have been aware of what to expect from Tourette's and worked harder to prevent anything that I said - which, after all, was some 40 rows back from the stage - from being included in the broadcast.
As I reflect on the auditorium, I remember there was a microphone just in front of me, and with hindsight I have to question whether this was wise, so close to where I was seated, knowing I would tic.
okay what the fuck was the BBC doing with that broadcast? because at this point it could be mistaken for intentional… variety.com/2026/film/aw...
Trump is trying to paint a rosy picture of the housing crisis.
In reality, a majority of Americans can’t afford rent on a modest 2 bedroom. Americans aren't buying their first home until 40.
And Trump’s tariffs have raised the costs of a new home by $11,000.
the bernie sanders meme with the text "I am once again asking you to interrogate and overthrow systems more" on the top and "and fuck shadow daddies less" on the bottom
thank you @katiehal16.bsky.social for my new favorite meme
Haha happy to help! 😁
defeating the head of an oppressive system and replacing them with a sword girl with sexual agency who is always submissive is not transgressive or radical and only demonstrates a shallowness of thought steeped in the same toxic systems that created the oppression in the first place.
