I didn't even know they had a category for that

Hollywood really could have that category

i also always find it a bit sad when some movie/game/whatever is at the center of a culture moment cause right-wingers are mad about there being a black/gay person in it, and normal people become afraid to criticize anything about that work lest they be confused for an angry conservative. i think it's pretty clear from the words a person is saying if what they're mad about is "a woman with short hair is there" or if it's something more substantive. i dont think we need to give people a pass if they just make right-wingers mad, i think we can ask for more from art

i’m going to be really honest with you guys i think the tendency to read the absolute worst possible intentions into every action you don’t agree with is getting too automatic and it’s eating you from the inside out

im incredibly conflicted by the phrase ‘the question is not who will let me but who will stop me’ because on one hand its so fucking raw and powerful but on the other hand it’s derived from ayn rand but on yet another hand the first and primary time ive ever seen it was on a picture of a lawnmower flying through the sky which is the perfect level of absurd and nonsensical that would piss ayn rand off

as someone who has just done a full press junket with a publicist and some quite deliberate crafting of messaging to market myself in a specific way, I'm pretty well placed to say this -

it is CRAZY how many "news outlets' are just AI slop regurgitating stuff that other outlets have done actual reporting on. For every article that an actual journalist spoke to me about and wrote there are two or three slop clones of it, and even more shortform video summaries. I took a quick look at TikTok and it's WILD to see the lines that me and my team crafted being vomited up by AI voices. I mean, it demonstrates pretty clearly that publicity works cause it's saying a lot of the things I want it to say (plus a few false things it's made up) but wow, the degrading impact this tech is having on the public information sphere and the hard work of entertainment journalists is PALPABLE

For the people in the notes, this is not AI. A simple search online will find it on news sites.

the most bullshit reasoning for why games have to stop being physical is that they’ve gotten “too big” to fit on a disc. 1) make your fucking game smaller then, but 2) back in my day, you’d insert the second disc to play the other half of mass effect 3, and you’d like it!!!!
