I think a lot of people believe the only advocacy for porn / SW / performers is like, unbridled gooner enthusiasm. No. This community is one of the front-lines of speech and labor battles that will eventually become relevant to everybody.

i do think it's concerning that the government is seeking to legislate against consenting adults viewing film of consenting adults engaging in legal activity. but the problem is saying that makes you sound like a turbo-pervert

As an older millennial that was a teenager for these movies, I do not remember anybody saying the prequels sucked at the time. That was social media revisionism by nerdy edgelords on social media 10 years later. Episode I is a masterpiece (and Empire is still my favorite)

I don't disagree, honestly. As platforms go I enjoy Letterboxd just fine because I like movies but atomizing every single thing into some sort of transaction that primarily benefits data collection and sorting is, as we've learned over the past 2 decades, not ideal.

I too dislike Letterboxd and think it has largely been a net negative for movie watching because literally every social media app rewires your brain to look at the world in more algorithmic terms. But I learned a long time ago that complaining about that really riles people up.

The good news is that after this blip in the radar everything will soon go back to normal and be very cool and moderately predictable again.

SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios. The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios. Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said. Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior. Read my latest for Axios here: axios.com/2026/10/22/ai-agen…

I suddenly know a bunch of folks new to the app game who have... built an app that does... something. Or a series of somethings. The elevator pitches for said somethings are convoluted and three meandering caveat-laden paragraphs long.

Somebody posted a bit of Kurt's journals in the Nirvana subreddit today and wanted to know if it was real. A bunch of people said no, but it WAS (somebody photocopied the original page for proof) and it turns out the bit posted was AI upscaled and the upscale changed words.

The thing that was a red flag for many, including me, is the upscale changed Kurt's use of "opiate" to "opioid", which is a word nobody could recall being in popular use in the 1990s. At some point everything will get transmogrified through some unnecessary AI lens.
