Rewatching Girls at the moment - it is still so fresh and funny, but it is also indicative of a more hopeful time. Feeling nostalgic and a bit melancholy about it

A particular level of cruelty to that, above and beyond the ordinary
Replying to @DanNeidle
We can't see the final injunction, but we can see an interim injunction. It is *insane*. Berki was forbidden from telling *anyone*. The only exceptions: Thames Valley Police (to challenge its decision), and lawyers (if involved in the proceedings). Not even friends or family.

Sensible, really. Those bikes are weighty!
🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham has announced plans to fine people who ride e-bikes on pavements, jump red lights or ride while drunk Lime and other firms would also need insurance to compensate people who get hit as well as designated parking spots

I think it's saying that anyone can be the bad guy. Even if you're trying to catch the bad guy, if you take it too far, or compromise morally, you become the bad guy. It's saying: there are no comfortable lines to draw and stay safely on one side of, the landscape always changes
I agree that Primetime does ask you, the viewer, to sort of “thread the needle” a bit on what it’s trying to say but I don’t think that’s a bad thing. The impressionistic portrait of 2000s mass media feels like the point. How effective that is is debatable but I think it works

So, it doesn't really matter whether it's an accurate portrayal of events, because there's truth in the fiction. Though, perhaps it matters quite a lot to the people involved, so the director compromises himself, too

Skyler Gisondo's first day on set shooting 👇 that scene with Robert Pattinson. Watch the full A24 Podcast episode with Austin Abrams now on YouTube.

Wever's character casually acting like a groomer, in the supposed pursuit of catching groomers. So queasy-making, deeply disturbing. This film really doesn't pull any punches
scenes that make me want to kill myself

My favourite thing about Primetime is it just never lets you get comfy - there's layers on layers. I referred to Pattinson as playing a villain (I think is closest to how he plays it) but antihero is also in there, motive is the hinge
really interesting to me that the male desire to paint whatever shameless path of masculine assertion they follow as some holy crusade can come in so many forms. watching this movie i couldnt stop thinking abt students from my uni who'd say theyre perserving the sanctity of life-

And *spoilers* Wever's character ends up being perhaps the most coldblooded (and practical) participant - she wants to get those ratings! But, as she states, she also "doesn't do feelgood"

I do think this should win an Oscar tbh. Who else could even pull this off convincingly? Wever is excellent supporting, too
just unlimited vocal stims by robert pattinson in PRIMETIME

I think it was the clear ambivalence on whether it will end humanity, combined with the promise that it might, among other things
silicon valley spent so much time trying to explain what ai will make possible for ppl. but it deeply underestimated how many ppl are primarily fearful of what ai will take away from them.

I'll be v interested to see if today's result resonates in UK politics, bc we all know they've had their heads up Big Tech's arse and there are lessons here they might want to reflect on

Note for @UKLabour - Data centers, very unpopular with electorates! Political corruption, very unpopular with electorates. Etc

I’ve come to think @elonmusk ended up doing Dems and progressives a huge favor by turning this place into a fetid swamp of feral right wing freaks where the most prominent members of their coalition post like cartoon movie villains and think it makes them look cool.

We're turning data centers into safe, affordable housing, located in walkable neighbourhoods

People across America rejected data centers during last night’s midterm election. Proposals related to data centers were explicitly on the ballot in more than 40 races across 13 states. People voted against data centers in 38 of them and counting 404media.co/american-voters-…
