Jared Kushner is my least favorite grift vector on the Citadel (planet earth) Actually there are probably lower on the list but his sucks to bland ratio is worse
As much as it's not really a surprise, especially given the industry right now coupled with the Saudi sale, the news today still made me sad. BioWare joins other great studios of the past, with a legacy that will not soon be forgotten. 😔 www.forbes.com/sites/paulta...

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...
The speed at which my monocle popped out of my eye upon learning that the makers of Fortnite are embracing slop (but the kind of slop that takes more time)
NEW: Epic Games has delayed its upcoming (not yet announced) Star Wars + Marvel shooter as it pivots to complete AI game development. "No more hand-written code," a director told staff. All art "generated with full AI workflows." Full scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Prime contender for “if you don’t wish people to speak ill of the dead, advise the dead to not be premeditated pieces of dogshit while they are living”
Dennis Hastert was a predator who used his positions of power to not only cultivate targets to abuse, but then to bury those allegations via his TAXPAYER FUNDED POSITION; and he admitted his guilt only long after the statute of limitations had expired. And now he's dead.
The secondary villain in one of my favorite episodes of The A-Team, also featuring Mako. RIP to a unique character and character actor. youtu.be/GuCwuo1ulI8?...
I adored this show. Sneakers as a tv show that’s very nerd culture forward, but not in a laughing at us way like Big Bang? Hell yes
Christian Slater played the leader of a crew of ex-thieves who now break into places for a living to test their security. It only had one season, but every episode was a great mix of comedy and heist story. Very cool. 😎

I still have this sneaking suspicion that this fuck-up was the part of the Ocean’s 11 October Surprise where the plan malfunctions on purpose to throw the mark off guard But that seems so unlikely and is probably just competen past ratfuckery rustling my jimmies
The Hill reviewed the texts from which Eric Schmitt invented his conspiracy. They never mentioned the Hawks OR the Hawkeyes. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

David, if I may, how bout Bland Monopoly Studios It’s great because you can refer to anything you shit out as BMS
I know Variety/Hollywood Reporter/Indiewire/Deadline (and The Golden Globes/GoldDerby) are all owned by the same company, and they basically live off of "For Your Consideration" ads bought by studios, but sometimes some good writing+reporting comes out of those outlets. But not today.

This movie ends up being much more about a renegade HAL9000-esque security system, an old guy who's whining about not being in charge anymore, and a painfully awkward love triangle than it is about the hurricane or the nuclear facility. I think this may be for the better?
Nuclear Hurricane (2007) TMDB score 41% Linda is trapped when the nuclear power plant in which she works threatens a meltdown, while her girlfriend takes on a major storm which could destroy their island home. #movies #moviesky #badmovies
“Nice catch! Those routes converge on the same physical space, and you’re right to call it out. That’s on me.”
Reality TV Host Sean Duffy has decided it's a good idea to roll out an AI assist on ATC in ... DC, where there has been a huge crash and two close calls on his watch. www.wsj.com/business/air...
I cannot overstate how unsettling the stutter edited robot saying “Robots never lie” is, and yet still how this movie is so much less than the sum of its parts
Robot Overlords (2014) TMDB score 49% Earth has been conquered by robots from another galaxy and the human survivors must stay in their homes, or risk incineration. #movies #moviesky #badmovies
