she's platonic about it but in my opinion, stratt 100% treats grace as her dead wife. she keeps a tacky fox trinket in her coat pocket. there's a framed photo of him in her study . he's grinning goofily in it (bc he's a dork). new guy like: is that her husband? / no, dumbass, it's dr. ryland grace, 1/3 of the hail mary mission. / oh, fuck. were they... ? / yeah, it's unclear. black-and-white montages of grace messing around in high-level meetings play every time stratt contemplates committing more environmental crimes. she looks up at the night sky and vaguely wonders if he's enjoying his space ramen. that's her dead wife. she killed him.

Telepathic aliens enjoy that humans will "play music" for hours at a time. When it's too mentally quiet on deck, they just announce the catchiest song titles they know and the humans will start thinking about it automatically.

The humans hate this so, so much.

Zorf: Human Steve, can you please play that song I like, the one with all the females

Steve: what

Zorf: A little bit of Monica in my life

Steve:

Steve: mother fu--

No one doing this should be allowed to call themselves a feminist.

JK Rowling deadnamed and posted 'upskirt' photo of trans woman on X

The wealthy author escalated a social media spat that resulted in posting a photo from a 2023 event at the Institute of Economic Affairs in

Let's not beat around the bush: Children's author JK Rowling sexually harassed someone. In some jurisdictions, this would count as sexual abuse. JK Rowling has committed a sex crime against a woman and fell back on the old rape apologist standby of "she was asking for it".

I hope your nostalgia is worth it

Google Invests $75 Million in A24 to Develop AI-Powered Filmmaking Tools

A24 and Google have struck an AI research partnership that will see the independent studio work to develop new AI-powered technologies for f

Oh for GOD’S SAKE A24!!!!!!!!!!

This shit cannot stand!

This is getting ridiculous!

A24 takes on Google money to build AI tools - Engadget

A24 is taking $75 million in Google money to help build AI tools for movie production.

Apparently they primarily want to use this bullshit generative ai tech to replace storyboard artists and illustrators?

Which I think is genuinely insulting and beneath contempt!

Storyboards are a vital component of the production process! People shouldn’t have to lose their jobs to this bullshit!

It’s especially tone deaf after the success of the Backrooms movie, whose director has been very openly against using generative AI bullshit in the creative arts and in general!
