China’s first AI-generated theatrical feature has flopped, earning just $181,000 in its first weekend. By contrast, the scrappy ‘Niu Lai’ turned its crude animation into a viral attraction, grossing nearly $10 million a couple of months ago. www.cartoonbrew.com/box-office-r...

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

I'm going to blow the minds of everyone under the age of about what? 35? But it used to be the case that when you opened your email inbox there would be correspondence from people you knew. Family members sharing jokes and sending e-cards. Friends keeping in touch. Yeah, the odd spam email.

But it wasn't just this endless tidal wave of junk mail, relentless "you haven't visited for a while uwu" "Deal ending in 24 seconds!" "check your basket out you shit! ;)" "New stock arrives of that thing you bought two years ago!" "Some guy in Minnesota is using your email for house hunting again"

I do not think it should be controversial to say that the world’s more notable far right politicians - Trump, Putin, Bolsonaro, Le Pen, Farage, take your pick - are actively evil people with evil projects, pursued by evil means. Of course they are, they openly revel in it.

Yeah but you can't build a sofa round an iPhone. Checkmate, Apple.

if you ever happen to see someone post a joke you don't understand or discuss a subject you aren't familiar with, you are well within your right to complain, and perhaps even scold them if necessary. you are their customer and you have rights

Decades of hard-won progress erased in a few short years by a handful of politicians & newspaper editors who figured that non-stop screeching about asylum seekers and trans people was the only way to maintain electoral consent for perma-austerity while every part of the state visibly rots.

correct. it's wild to remember that so much of this could have been stopped cold by 5 or 6 people deciding they cared about our society. and their whole thing could be stripped down to the studs by dealing with maybe 70 guys
