It’s easy to see no value of other people’s work when your job is removing value from other people’s work, ie ‘maximizing’ profits. Which is why those in charge almost *NEVER* value anyone’s work except their own.

You know why this smells bad? Because the dead man is already being demonized in the media which immediately took to airing all of his past. Yet, what did he do to start this altercation? Nobody knows. We have only ‘words’ about how other people ‘perceived’ or ‘felt’ about his behavior. But we do know he did not…
Which is part of the underlying reason for the WGA strike — writers are really getting screwed by streaming platforms.
A bunch of wealthy, greedy assholes spent the last decade since the previous economic bubble-burst, robbing the future to ‘get rich’ today. And like every bubble before it, that bill has come due while the money is gone. But of course, let’s keep pretending that capitalism isn’t the cause of these non-stop boom-bust…
No. The problem is that, because of his past ‘successes’ — that were most in spite of him, not because of him — he actually thinks he *CAN* run a company, that he’s the smartest man in every room he’s in. Neither of which are true. Pretty much ever. But this is not unique to Musk. Not even remotely. People in his kind…
Multidimensional characters are more believable, but they’re also harder to write and write well, because you have to put a great deal more thought into their backgrounds and what drives them, both the complimentary forces and those in conflict, to find the right ‘path’ for those characters to take through the story…
I mean, there is something to be said for ‘knowing where you stand’ with your racist neighbors. I can understand that and the value of it, even if most black Americans never had cause to wonder where they stood with their racist neighbors. And I’m sure, if he’d stopped there, nobody would think anything of it. But…
It’s almost as if the various larger Hollywood unions should, you know, form a union together. Imagine the kind of sway they would have over the big studios then. Because the bigger a union is, the more people it brings to its table, the more power that union has over those who would otherwise exploit its members,…
The AMPTP would politely like everyone to pay no attention to the hundreds of billions of dollars its products stuff into the bank accounts of countless billionaires every year, lest we get the impression that it has virtually unlimited level of funds to meet any and all of the WGA’s requests. Because even if that…
It’s standard operating procedure, and I wish the Dems were anywhere near being this cutthroat when it came to sabotaging GOP prospects.
Let’s be honest — Republicans politicians and their billionaire owners want voters to fear *everything*. If they could convince voters to fear breathing, they would. They look for any and every excuse they can find to incite fear, anger, and violence. It’s been their SOP for over a century. Because fearful, angry, and…
Rest assured, they have been.
What new technology *HASN’T* been used for ‘bad things’? Can anyone name even a single one??
“Elon Musk is ruining Twitter.” — Dorsey
Fox News would like to point out that a significant number of people can’t tell the difference between fantasy and objective, verifiable reality. In fact, their entire brand is built on it. And ChatGPT has the advantage of not being deliberately biased and dishonest.
“Dropping the ball” implies an accidental failure. That is absolutely NOT applicable to the Fed’s ‘non-handling’ of SVB and its subsequent collapse. This clusterf*** was deliberately orchestrated by a bunch of rich assholes — politicians included — who exploited gullible Americans who thought (and foolishly still…
Lies spread like wildfire, while the truth moves like a glacier. Tucker and other scumbags like him have dedicated their lives to exploiting this wild imbalance, sewing chaos, discord, mistrust, outrage, and violence not simply for their own gain, but for the gain of the vanishingly tiny minority of ultra-wealthy…
When it comes to basically all questions, not all ‘wrongs’ are equal, and that includes the answers to medical questions. When an AI gives a wrong answer, how wrong is that answer and how much does that wrong answer complicate getting the right answer? Because while an AI might give a right answer more often, it…
Of course, she’s going to be *SOMEWHERE* after the potential dispute and assault. It’s not as if he killed her and disposed of her body. She’s not going suddenly to disappear from existence just because she had an encounter with an asshole.
If the term ‘incel’ is a portmanteau of ‘involuntarily celibate,’ it definitely doesn’t apply a single f***ing one of these pieces of human-shaped shit, because being a human-shaped piece of shit is most definitely a choice. There’s nothing involuntary about it. And no wonder women want nothing to do with them. *NOBODY…
