The thing about the Chani character being different is that so was Jessica, this series kind of looked Herbert’s female characters and went what if not that. I was annoyed by it in the first movie but honestly, fine, let’s see.
“Forgive me for all I’ve done.” Experience the epic conclusion. Dune: Part Three only in theaters and IMAX December 18. #DuneMovie #FilmedforIMAX

So you kind of have to compress some parts, mould some characters to take on the role of systems (like Jessica) because you are not shooting a book that can just drone on about the Bene Gesserit forever

Like Asimov’s Foundation (and its adaptation) you are in a tricky spot that sci fi writers often like thinking in terms of social systems and their interactions, while cinema thrives on the (inter)personal

Does anyone remember the Peter Pan movie where Hugh Jackman as Not-Captain Hook and his goons sang Smells Like Teen Spirit for some reason

I’m sorry but Starmer, who famously based his entirely leadership on lying to the Labour Party, doesn’t really get to feel betrayed. Basing your leadership on liars will get you lies and betrayal.
🚨 NEW: A Labour source says Keir Starmer feels "betrayed" "He gave everything to Labour, including sacrificing much of his children's teenage years to help make the party electable. He feels deeply betrayed, especially by those he believed were loyal to him"

As for his sacrifice: the suits, the tickets, the treats, the parties, the Davos, the everything… he seemed to really enjoy those at the time.

Hot Europeans, coming over here, and getting us all hot and bothered with a heat wave. 🥵😤

Look apparently this is from that time I reincarnated as a gay octopus, but he does look very much like he would put his hand in my chest orifice. Which I guess tracks.
First look at Yoshida in the Anime!

In an ideal world I would prefer if Burnham had to set out what he actually intends to do as PM during an election process. That said, after Starmer I don’t think I can trust a Labour leadership election pledge again. Objectively a coronation would be better for the party lol
EXC -MPs loyal to Starmer have said they will rally round Darren Jones if the PM decides to resign - to prevent a Burnham coronation. “He would have the numbers of the PM does not run,” one MP said. The coordination has been done with those who signed a loyalist letter in May

If you see something shiny, glistening in your laundry basket it’s just Dan Neidle’s honest, impartial tax reporting!

Dan has blocked me, though I would assume he will not go through my laundry receipts. That said, obviously still no one really knows, to my knowledge, whether Polanski did or did not owe council tax (not Polanski, not the council, nor Dan’s heavily hedged reporting)

The point of course is that it is daily mail rag journalist behaviour to base your reporting on “a source tells me he used a lot of laundry”

Labour’s former deputy leader Harriet Harman say the party’s MPs should now decide the leadership - with no say for the party members - in order to preserve the ‘stability of government’

I did think that this was the only play for the failing xAI effort. Turns out surveillance of twitter is less useful for training than surveillance of IDE behaviour. That said, I wonder how the midmarket, Chinese based approach will sit with Elon and the US gov.
SpaceX has exercised the option to acquire @cursor_ai in an all-stock transaction with the goal of building the world’s most useful AI models. For the past few months, SpaceXAI has been jointly training a model with Cursor, which will be released in Cursor and Grok Build soon. We look forward to working closely with the Cursor team to advance our frontier AI capabilities

There would be headwind regardless , but the best thing they can do is to leave the cursor team more or less alone and just build the composer series. Doubt that’s going to happen, because Elon must meddle but that’s what I would do.

Oh good, Pokémon go to the drones
So apparently Pokémon Go has been helping drones murder people in Palestine, Lebanon, and Iran?

Aside from anything else, if the government banned kids from your local park and had essentially border guards around it, you’d be pretty annoyed as well.
I’m not myself convinced by the idea of social media ban but I notice my timeline flooded only by accounts utterly sure of its tyranny. Weird that.

Jesus Christ this is extremely wrong on so many levels. We have seen so much of the cloud face scanning nonsense result in huge invasions of privacy already how can you be this wrong ?
Replying to @jessicaelgot
You’re going to see an incredible amount of fake outrage about facial scans by people who merrily have their faces scanned 20 times a day to use Apple Pay.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The facial scans for Apple Pay (Face ID) are processed entirely on-device and do not leave the user's phone, unlike social media age verification which involves uploading photos or videos to third-party providers for analysis. support.apple.com/en-us/102381 ofcom.org.uk/online-safety/…

Whether or not an under 16 social media ban or curfew or whatever would be welcomed by the public or not, I don’t know. But the face scanning stuff is egregiously invasive and we already know that it results in numerous leaks and retentions
