“Brokeback Mountain” and “Moonlight” boosted acceptance of queer love, but “La Bola Negra” co-director Javier Calvo hopes his film will push queer representation even further with a more explicit depiction of gay sensuality and the male body.

“There’s no better way to get people to understand things than art and movies. They’re a really good vehicle for creating empathy, because when you cry with someone, you’re always bonded to that story, to that person, to that community.”

Un bloguero mostró que las entrevistas laborales en 2026 ya se realizan sin personas. La empresa envió a la videollamada a un reclutador de IA, el bloguero respondió conectando a su agente de IA y salió del encuadre.

Las redes neuronales siguieron discutiendo la vacante durante un rato más sin humanos. Al final, ambas se colgaron y comenzaron a despedirse infinitamente la una de la otra.

Distópico.

This is an expert analysis about the decline of religion in storytelling. I really like his analysis and agree that that scene from Star Wars is pretty bad. I hadn’t considered how much religion is…

Well this is fascinating! A cactus, a tourniquet, and antibiotics, oh my! Definitely some good pointers on how not to fall into a trope trap.

I had no idea that I needed to read a brief history of assholes, but @Carlyn Beccia ’s post is exactly what I needed. This passage stood out to me, in part because it’s a universal truth, and also…
