No one told me they have a fountain version of Dr Pepper creamy coconut @Maverik, so I'm doing my part to try and inform the (two) people who will see this that they have Dr Pepper creamy coconut at Maverik.
Christopher Nolan on AI:
“I’ve never seen a more rapid wholesale dismissal of a supposedly foundational jump in technology in my lifetime. So much energy has been expended on bringing in AI, but if you look at that generation’s reaction, they’re utterly rejecting it. [My children’s] judgment of AI slop has been immediate and harsh. They see it for what it is very quickly – and it’s much easier for them to identify it, because it grew out of an online world they know really well. And while that doesn’t mean that every aspect of the technology is useless or meaningless, in film-making it’s hitting at exactly the wrong time. After years of driving towards heavily virtual environments, we’re seeing a renewed interest in more tactile, more real forms of storytelling.”

God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.
i do not care if Trump's comments result in nothing tonight. no one who even thinks of saying the phrase "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" should be allowed to operate an ice cream stand, nevermind the most powerful office on the planet
This is a threat of genocide and merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing and cannot be trusted.
To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat.
The most annoying thing about this SAVE Act nonsensical bullshit is that every study in the world (including those by Conservative organizations) has determined that voter fraud is so miniscule, it doesn't even come close to changing the results of any election.
Republicans are in this weird state of psychosis, where they believe there's 10 million "illegal aliens" waiting to cast votes.
You know what illegal aliens in this country do? Fly under the radar as much as they can.
When Biden won in 2020, these people conducted every audit, recount, voter machine autopsy, in the books. They found nothing
And even the ones with the guts to take voter fraud complaints to court, admitted to judges they didn't actually have any evidence.
The biggest virus Trump installed into the MAGA @GOP is this myth of stolen elections.
It's not real.
Ironically, Elon Musk was blatantly giving money to people who "vote" (hint hint) all during the last election cycle.
So if there's anyone fixing elections right now, it's them.
Massive voter fraud, but not a single living soul can prove it?
It's like my dad says, some people are SOS: Stuck On Stupid
it's not too late for the movies to reject AI.
i wrote about The Wizard of Oz at the Sphere, Italian Brainrot, and why surrendering to the "inevitability" of AI confuses the fact that tech needs art more than art needs tech.

the hardest thing about dealing with trump is he does things like this every single day but there is genuinely nothing you can say to his loyalist cult to open their eyes to how evidently fraudulent he is
The President sees a bad jobs report, and responds by getting rid of the person in charge of the statistics. This is how America becomes a third-rate country.
