I think all the time about the interviewer who asked Meryl Streep “how did you not know about Weinstein” and she was like “I didn’t know because he NEEDED me not to know” it isn’t a character flaw to have been deceived by someone who is a deceit expert cultivating the cover of your faith & goodwill

I see we've reached the "famous artist credibly accused of sexual assault wasn't actually a great artist and you're a chump for liking him" phase. Consider that pretending terrible people can't make great art helps terrible people who make great art whedon their way into vulnerable communities.

Happy 4th of July! In the wise words of Ben Franklin: The Bald Eagle is a Bird of bad moral Character. Too lazy to fish for himself. The Turkey is a more respectable Bird, though vain & silly, a Bird of Courage, and would attack a Brit who should presume to invade his Farm Yard with a red Coat on.

I mean, shit. I worked on two video games in the mid-10s, as well as a related graphic novel, and both of them are forever wiped from the world because EA bought the game studio that made them and took them offline. Never again shall you see Midnight Star!

Remember, a large portion of silent films are lost, not due to decay or fires, but because they were intentionally junked by their studios. Among the worst was Paramount, aka CBS/Paramount. People come and go. Corporate culture is forever.

Hey, survey researchers? Don't do this. Headline in my inbox this morning: "23% of U.S. adults now use AI language models like ChatGPT – the tipping point." Actual survey question (which I had to click a link and read 17 pages deep to find): "Have you ever used an AI language model or a chatbot."

Just a little something to set over by the other medial news stories I've linked lately, about the cancer vaccines and re-growing lost teeth. I'm tempted to say "We live in an age of miracles," but that's the exact opposite of what this is. The cumulative work of thousands, over decades. Amazing.

Today I finally looked up the actual meaning of "colloidal" as in colloidal oatmeal, colloidal silver and apparently it just means particles in a suspension?

So whipped cream is like colloidal air and mayonnaise is colloidal oil and jello is colloidal gelatin?
