When you get into one of these groups, there’s only a couple of ways you can get out. One is death, the other is mental institutions.

This fucking sucks. No show has been such a breath of fresh air, and I remember being so impressed with how Strip Law made me laugh in new ways every time. No show’s understood its audience and the culture in which it was released this well. Deep shame for Netflix, and this team should be proud.

I get why people don’t like it, but you gotta accept champions willing to dab on your enemies like this when they present themselves.

The more I think about this and look at the right wing, I actually think we’ll have an opportunity to take this back in the next 5 years. Build a vision of technology that’s not about surveillance, misanthropic automation, or devaluing workers.
Absolutely, and it shows a failure of imagination that people only see techno-optimism as AI optimism. Adopting a pro-technology stance is part of envisioning a better world.
this post is correct commercially but incorrect in that it imagines two additional points: * The complaints are from pure consumers * The sign of love for a product means that it never declines in commercial viability
If movie theaters were a thing consumers loved, they would be there. They go there for horror movies, some action blockbusters. Let me reiterate a line I wrote decades ago about the nascent digital space: Consumers have taken control of their entertainment experience & they are never giving it back.
If you are deemed an enemy by the US Government, there is no limitation on their use of force against you. The decision to deem you an enemy has no process and is totally arbitrary. It’s the nightmare that this country was purportedly specifically designed to avoid.
The boat was split in half. 9 men were dead. 2 more clung to a floating piece of wreckage and tried desperately to flip it over for 41 minutes straight. There was no possible way they were going anywhere. Then they were killed in cold blood by the U.S. military.
