Sometimes I feel like I’m going crazy because the UK government is focused on every other issue except the fact PEOPLE CAN’T AFFORD TO FILL THEIR FRIDGE???

[Kyle @kylofone]

so much sympathy for today's kids. every aspect of their lives has been impoverished, there are no spaces for them, everything is prohibitively expensive, the planet is dying, they're being repeatedly infected, and the solution is apparently to further isolate them digitally.

“Giving children their childhood back?”

So reopening the 2,000 youth clubs closed under neoliberalism? The 1,000 children’s centres?
Recreating the 10,000 + playing fields lost?
Or the 800 playgrounds lost in the last 10 years?
The 1,000 libraries?
The after-school clubs closed?

Something worth acknowledging in considering the (im)practicalities of the proposed nighttime social media curfew is the significant number of 17 year-olds at Scottish universities. Their classes may be timetabled until 6pm, and some learning resources may be on YouTube.

[Nat ✨ FREE 🇵🇸 @loopzoooop]

that’s the question isn’t it. what WILL she do? there are no youth clubs for her to attend. food, cinema tickets, any sort of third space activity is all too expensive. their parents are underpaid, saturday jobs don’t exist any more, children have truly been abandoned by the govt

Steven Spielberg is maybe the most preternaturally gifted filmmaker ever and one of America’s most complicated and interesting artists because of (not in spite of) his many contradictions

Guy who’s seen 10 movies: Steven Spielberg is the best director of all time
Guy who’s seen 100 movies: Steven Spielberg is overrated.

nice argument. unfortunately I have already depicted you as the wildly ricocheting seething american cop, and me as the serenely and peacefully descending scottish piper

[Ben Smoke @bencsmoke]

it is a fundamental failure of society for one man to be able to amass such sickening levels of wealth as 673 million people across the world go hungry every single day.

From Southport to Belfast, we keep seeing the same pattern: a terrible crime, followed by racist mobs attacking black and brown people who had nothing to do with it.

These are pogroms.

The politicians and media figures who spent years demonising migrants and inflaming racial hatred have blood on their hands.

We must stand together against this hatred and organise against this fascism.

The Art Directors Guild slams Martin Scorsese for his generative AI partnership

They accused him of 'turning his back on the human artists who throughout his career have helped him create his most memorable works'

"Mr. Scorsese asks the question, 'how do you communicate what you see in your head to your cast and crew?' He claims the solution is the use of this generative AI program to do the jobs that are rightfully the jurisdiction of Art Directors Guild"

"Generative AI is only capable of producing this type of 'cinematic intelligence' by ingesting large swaths of copyrighted work, likely scraped from the internet without consent, credit, compensation, or transparency"

"The skills of Art Directors Guild Local 800 artists and designers bring the highest level of value to any film or television production. To think their professional contributions can be mimicked or outshone by generative AI, which is built on work likely stolen from them and many other artists from around the world, is a betrayal of the collaborative nature of cinema"
