I used AI to make a movie about Hollywood.
Black Thunder = Generative AI
The Rainbow Girl = Every artist who never had a shot
I'll let you figure out the rest.
The chains are off. The sky is the limit.
Friday night at the movies is so back ⚫️⚡️
Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, 1965
Over 65 years ago warned us all that the United States would be ruined by toxic empathy.
“False compassion… is a pity shown not to the mugged, but to the mugger; not to the family of the murdered, but to the murderer.”
And here we are today…
The overall turnout rate of eligible voters in Indiana for the 2022 midterm election was 37%.
The national average for the same year was 46%.
With so much at stake, Hoosiers simply have to do better this time.

America’s corporate governance system is broken, and it’s killing public companies. Look no further than Cracker Barrel: Decades of brutal mismanagement have seen one incompetent CEO after another walk away with a massive paycheck while customers and actual shareholders take a beating.
Why does this keep happening? Because proxy advisory firms like ISS are corrupt. They blindly rubber-stamp failing boards year after year, protecting the corporate elite while burning shareholder value to the ground.
The root of the rot is index funds. There's no question that indexing one's money is a smart financial move for most people. But just because you passively index your investments doesn't mean your corporate votes should be handed over to the managers of your fund so they can play politics. Right now, passive funds hold massive, unchecked voting blocks while having zero skin in the game themselves.
It is time for a simple rewrite of the rules: We need to index the votes of index fund investors.
Passive index funds should be forced to automatically split their votes to proportionately mirror those of retail and active institutional shareholders — the people actually doing the research, risking their capital, and fighting for performance in the companies they hold shares in. No more rubber-stamping. A change like this will immediately strip corrupt gatekeepers like ISS of their toxic influence.
True accountability happens when lazy, overpaid boards actually answer to the stakeholders they represent, rather than screwing them over.
Actual, logic-driven governance when your money is passive happens when your vote passively follows the voting decisions of the actual market.
We need to stop letting passive capital protect active incompetence. By stripping index funds of their arbitrary voting power and empowering engaged investors, we will finally torch corporate cronyism and usher American capital markets into a golden age of capitalism.
@ryanlightbourn i love Black Thunder! The sound track is awesome too! I would love to see him perform more, using his musical and dance talents to take on whimsical journeys. Great Work! Would love to hear the full length sound track too.
Yes we should’ve had SAVE act done
But we need the votes
So we need to make it too big to rig one more time
That’s all we need to do
One more push
So quit bitching and get after it
