“International law” was engineered by colonial powers as a framework to police and control the colonized. It is wielded against politicians in Africa and the Middle East, while the foundational structures of imperialism remain unaffected and protected. It’s working as intended.

You are now in for an absolute masterclass in prevarication, euphemism and nuance from the British media.

New Rose Hotel sitting at 20% on rotten tomatoes for 25 years is all you need to know about why Letterboxd is a net positive.

The primary role of Christianity in America isn’t faith or community or congregation, it’s being used as a smokescreen for the most obvious evil in the world.

“Remember, no man is a failure who has friends.”

Thanks for being my friends, this year has been really hard, but having a community filled with friends here that distracts from the bad times means the world to me. Merry Christmas everyone, you’re all on my nice list 🩷🎄

Generative AI is amazing at tasks where I am not qualified to judge the output.

When you privatise a monopoly that cannot be allowed to collapse like water, energy, or transport - you are giving private companies licence to treat it like a cash machine, because they know that no matter how badly they fuck up, there will always be a public bailout.

Warner Bros. has the greatest restoration & preservation ops in Hollywood. At any time they are remastering DOZENS of films & cartoons with groundbreaking proprietary tech. Many of these are released MONTHLY thru the Warner Archive. I will feel SICK if anything happens to them.

James Mason presents King Hu with Best Director for Legend of the Mountain at the 16th Golden Horse Awards in 1979. (Everything I see from old Golden Horse Award ceremonies is wild to me)

[Peter Raleigh @PetreRaleigh]

One of the things I loathe most about AI is the idea that real people would change their writing to avoid common AI tics. That this...thing might actually shape our modes of self-expression and foreclose certain tools and sentence structures is viscerally disgusting to me
