Never been more certain of anything than I am of that British food delivery company purposefully creating terrible and "funny" AI images of food to drum up press and go viral.

“Billionaires will flee California if voters approve a 5% tax on their wealth” is a myth made up by billionaires so they won’t have to pay taxes.
Fact: When Proposition 40 was filed there were 230 billionaires in CA. Today, there are 262 who got $382 billion richer since then.
Cupertino rules because it’s an incredibly mainstream network tv show based entirely on the idea that everyone hates Silicon Valley and wants to see them lose.
Everyone who believes Musk's "I'm making flying cars" thing have to be the dumbest, most gullible assholes on the planet.

The Republican speaker of the house who was a convicted child molester that they all just kinda pretend doesn’t exist died.
One thing is certain... there is no amount Democrats can win by in November that wont result in a deluge of "It would have been bigger if it weren't for progressives" takes.

The thing with this mindset on art (chasing 'perfection') is gross and antithetical to the very spirit of art. Not one of these directors would have the gall to claim their filmography is flawless.
Movies aren't sports teams.

So the 30 films a year was another mirage in the desert.
A telling development: per Bloomberg, Paramount now says it will “pay” $30 million per film if they fall short of their 30 film *distribution* pledge.
Who will they pay? The crews they would have hired? The theater owners with empty seats? No. It will be some fund that a government official has to then distribute. Rent is due on the 1st of the month, not two years from now.
And they’re no longer even pledging to *make* 30 films a year. Just to distribute that amount; as Marla points out, this would include re-releases.
All of this is of course ambiguous and tbd but this is not good. Like most behavioral remedies, it will be next to impossible to meaningfully enforce, and even then, enforcement will be difficult and after the fact.

When we criticize oligarchy, what we're really criticizing is the ability of a 43-year-old failson, who did nothing to earn the $200 billion he is set to inherit, to unilaterally impose his will on the AGs of a dozen states including California and New York.
This Defector piece on the tech industry's panic is really good.

It’ll be pretty funny if Apple kills 9:16 video RIGHT as the entertainment industry has fully committed to convincing themselves that verticals are the future.
The week after 9/11, a guy started killing people by mailing anthrax around the US and we're still not 100% certain who did it.
Anyways. Was a pretty stressful time.
