I know the term "lost" here is just for engagement and nostalgia purposes, but it's still funny to see Badgers branded this way after we've just preserved the work in the BFI National Archive.

Studies have always shown that if you provide necessities & help people thrive, it reduces crime.

Truthfully, I don't really know how anyone is keeping up. Life. Work. The things you want to do, the things you have to do. Endless messages & emails. I'm getting by but I often feel like I'm barely functioning as a human being. So, uh, if you feel the same, you're not alone!

A very cool, under-the-radar story here. The excellent 2018 horror movie CAM has been available to watch precisely NOWHERE since Netflix got rid of it last year, so director Daniel Goldhaber put it up for FREE streaming on his website: https://t.co/4WVfotW9g7

“AI is not going anywhere” is a PR line from a gen AI company press release that’s trying to make their bad broken technology seem inevitable. It’s bullshit. Please stop repeating it.

So stop it maybe? Who are you warning? I can't do anything, YOU are the UN.

Kane Parsons is wise beyond his years. I realize a lot of people are thinking "how can a 19/20 year old possibly make a great horror movie?!" but if you listen to him speak, literally any interview, he's a deeply thoughtful and intelligent person. I was dumb at 20. He is not!
