Sticking strictly to the Burbank area, AMC 6 clears them all. Spacious stadium seats, best access to parking/exiting, the In-n-Out is right there, and you get to go underground where your cell reception stops working and nobody can truly bother you.

Terrifying thread.

Due to a legal ruling which lets AI companies off the hook for copyright infringement as long as they destroy the original book, they're buying up millions of rare books, scanning them as AI training data, and then destroying them.

[Hedgie @HedgieMarkets]

🦔AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they're free of AI-generated text. A federal judge ruled the practice is fair use because eliminating the original means only one copy exists at a time. Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books partnerships to obtain "all the books in the world."

My Take
This got to me. A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email.
ISBNdb's website literally says "'AI company destroys two million books' is not a headline that generates sympathy," and they still built an entire business around making it happen quietly. They offer NDAs as a feature. They coach clients to call it "digital preservation."

I've covered AI companies scraping the internet, torrenting libraries, and stealing music. This is worse because it's irreversible. You can re-upload a website. You can reprint a bestseller. You can't replace the last three copies of an 18th-century botanical text once someone shreds them for training data. And the judge said it's legal. So it's going to accelerate.
"We shred rare books and offer NDAs so nobody finds out" is a legitimate business model in 2026. What a timeline.

When I was in middle school this was the standard I was dreaming of when I decided to study Animation, in the midst of a new wave of young directors

Now I’m 27 years old, I have a degree and three years professional experience and nobody will even let me bring them coffee

the odessa azion timeline is a case study in how they pull normal ass people who happen to be jewish to a discussion they don't want to be part of, investigate them to find any accusation-worthy features, force a statement out of them and complain that the statement isn't enough

[DCU Updates @dcuworld]

Jim Lee says DC Comics will not support AI generated storytelling or artwork. Not now, not ever as long as he is in charge.

"Because what we do and why we do
it is rooted in our humanity. It's that fragile, beautiful connection between imagination and emotion that fuels our media, the stuff that makes our universe come alive. It's the imperfect mind, the creative risk, the hand-drawn gesture that no algorithm can replicate. And when I draw, I make mistakes, a lot of them. But that's the point. The smudge, the rough line, the hesitation. That's me in the work. That's my journey. That's what makes it come alive. It's the product of true effort, of inspiration, and perspiration. Fans know this. They sense this. They can feel when something was made with care, when it cost the artist time, energy, heart, and effort. People have an instinctive reaction to what feels authentic. We recoil from what feels fake. That's why human creativity matters. AI doesn't dream. It doesn't feel. It doesn't make art. It aggregates it. Our job as creators, as storytellers, and as publishers is to make people feel something real. That's why we create, and that's why we're still here."

Aren't you the Steven Universe storyboarder who threw a shitfit over Dana Terrace going out on a date with Alex Hirsch over you and also got drummed out of the animation industry due to your rampant sexual harassment?

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Rev. Dr. Howard-John Wesley: “Charlie Kirk did not deserve to be assassinated. But I’m overwhelmed seeing the flags of the United States of America at half-staff calling this nation to honor and venerate a man who was an unapologetic racist and spent all of his life sowing seeds of division and hate into this land. And hearing people with selective rage who are mad about Charlie Kirk, but didn’t give a damn about Melissa Hortman and her husband when they were shot down in their home, tell me I ought to have compassion for the death of a man who had no respect for my own life. I am sorry, but there’s nowhere in bible where we are taught to honor evil. How you die does not redeem how you lived. You do not become a hero in your death when you are a weapon of the enemy in your life”

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

This isn't just any report by a fringe organization: this is the United Nations - which, lest you forget, under the Charter signed by the entire world is supposed to represent the ultimate international legal authority - now officially saying that Israel is committing genocide.

And not in a small way: while the Genocide Convention requires proof of just ONE "prohibited act with genocidal intent" to establish genocide, they found Israel guilty of FOUR separate categories:
- killing Palestinians
- causing them serious bodily and mental harm
- deliberately inflicting conditions calculated to destroy them
- imposing measures to prevent Palestinian births
- they also found that Israeli President Herzog, PM Netanyahu, and Defense Minister Gallant personally incited genocide - meaning the genocidal intent goes straight to the top

In other words, this is textbook, systematic, intended genocide according to the UN's own investigation.

We all know however that, while all nations - including the U.S. and Israel - have signed up to the UN Charter, the actual world order is VERY different from what's written on paper. What's happening in Gaza is making this eminently clear: a UN investigation can meticulously document genocide using the very legal standards the world agreed upon after the Holocaust, and yet said genocide will continue unabated.

Heck, without a doubt the states legally obligated to prevent genocide will instead work overtime to discredit the UN. The very institutions created to prevent another Holocaust will ironically be demolished for identifying one.
