I’m not a fan of “blind casting” most of the time. I’m not anti-diversity at all - grew up in a college town and had more international friends that local friends in my community. I’ve been binging Star Trek (all of the tv shows) for the last several months, and what is nice about the shows, over all, is that the…

Those NSFW subreddits need to adopt the John Oliver thing but use goatse (do not google) instead. That will solve their “not having NSFW content in the subreddit” issue tout de suite.

Good for her for releasing a new album despite the issues. I hope this court mess ends in her favor soon.

I have secret knowledge of this: They need more time to run background checks on all the actors they’ve cast during the WGA strike.

Regardless of how they calculate their ratings, it mathematically works out that they will decide to cancel any show I just found and am enjoying the previous seasons of, specifically so that I can’t get closure.

It couldn’t have happened to a more benevolent gremlin of “justice.” (Well, maybe it could have happened to Clarance Thomas, The Adopting Witch lady one, or the cry face rapey guy, harder to remember those newer appointees)

Hollywood loves a sure thing. Existing IP means IP that some percentage of the populace has already shelled out money to buy before.

Thank you for that Frederick Douglas quote. He’s made a point that I often try to make to folks (the times are different but the general sentiment is the same.)

Fortunately Season 3 of Picard also has a release date, so if you prefer never watch or think about Seasons 1 and 2 you can just purchase that. It even has a SteelBook option.

“An interview with the FTC’s consumer protection chief on how the agency is turning privacy laws upside down to pave the way for the internet we all deserve.”

You mean the point if you want to use a *wired* Xbox 360 controller. As in without wireless, arguably one of the most important, least appreciated changes from the Xbox OG to the 360. This feels like a massive fail when you can get an xbox 360 controller radio dongle and a mayflash adapter for maybe $30? and then you…

Guess this will be the last thing I watch on Netflix before canceling this go-round.

So... his solution is Scaborators?

I asked ChatGPT “Do you ever make fun of Google’s AI chatbot by calling it “Alphabart”?” and it assured me it would never do anything like that. Then I saw it go leave a flaming bag of something on Bard’s porch, ring its doorbell, and run off.

Preface: MGT can go suck an egg. She’s a garbage person I’d like to not see in congress, but hey, that’s America for you.

Having grown up with offline consoles and not being much of a PC gamer until later in life, when I play multiplayer with people I don’t know, most often I get an ear full of children using racial slurs and people doing things like exiting a game if I’m beating them, or being shot immediately so people can loot my…

Yeah, It’s way more complicated than my little jokey comment, I’ll give you that. I’ve been disapointed by the WB-HBO merger, and I guess right now the fact that I wont’ get the final season of Westworld I’ve been waiting for since 2016, i’m sort of anti-“large companies buying large companies”. I probably need to…

This reminds me to something I saw about tiktok recently: “enshitification”. I would have thought it was just a funny joke word and not followed through to read about it, but then I saw it was in reference to a post made by something funny, but then I saw it was written by Cory Doctorow. https://pluralistic.net/2023/01…

This is a tragic story. My thoughts are with her friends and family. 

Microsoft doesn’t need any more studios. Play with the toys you already have before you look at other studios, Microsoft. You need to be grounded.
