@ccmembersonly What the fuck is the lesson of this video and why is there an entire crew of adults working on it?

I can’t stress this enough, as they say on the internet.
I’ve worked in telly comedy for almost 30 years of my life. A VETERAN.
There is nothing harder, in the telly game, than getting a new comedy show off the ground.
The reaction to a snippet of that new show, or a promo for it, is almost always wildly negative. Comedy always begins from a position of fighting up out of a trench into a hostile no-man’s-land. Bombs of “THIS WILL BE SHIT” landing all around you.
How often have you heard about a drama show - “It gets great five episodes in.”
When have you ever heard anyone EVER say that about comedy? You get one episode AT BEST. Usually, you get about ten minutes. Sometimes one look at your face is enough for people.
Basically, what I’m saying is - give telly comedy a chance! Don’t go in, all arms folded and grumpy. Most shows you see on TV are people reading off teleprompters and actors turning up to recite memorised lines. These comedy performers and writers will have been working like fuck to make you laugh. There is no harder working room in telly than that comedy room.
So PLEASE. Relax, be open, and give this and ANY OTHER NEW COMEDY a chance. It is only here to try to make you smile.
Clip here is fun. Godspeed to all involved!

My favourite haunted ceiling story is the Sunderland poltergeist that painted a picture on a girls bedroom ceiling

@JShodanVR Apart from the price and space requirements, I just know this would be a massive faff to set up and get running right.

I don’t understand.
This stuff is real, it exists, you can actually buy it, and yet the VR market is almost dead.
What happened to the kids in the 90s who dreamed about this possibility? Why do modern kids now go crazy for games where you don’t really do anything, where at most you just swipe up and down, or spend their time screaming in stupid games that require no concentration, like amoebas with no curiosity? This stuff finally f***ing exists, and yet the videogame market pretends it’s invisible.
F***! F***! F***! In 1998, when we were 13 playing Resident Evil 2 on the PlayStation with my friends, we would have killed to be able to play something like this.

One problem with everyone using AI to write their X posts is that things that can be expressed in a few words suddenly turn into tedious multi-paragraph essays — that's not just some lazy shortcut or harmless little habit, it's actually turning the whole timeline into this weird echo chamber of overly polished thoughts that nobody asked for. Not a quick productivity win, not some innocent creative boost, just pure endless fluff that drags every simple idea out way longer than it has any right to.
The hard part? Knowing exactly when to hit stop on the AI before it takes one clear thought and buries it under a mountain of careful phrasing and extra layers nobody needs.
Here's the thing though — in today's super fast-scrolling digital world where everyone's attention span is basically zero, these posts end up doing the opposite of what you want. They don't just take forever to read. They smooth out all the rough edges and real personality until everything feels the same — safe, balanced, and strangely professional even when you're just venting about your day.
It's actually pretty impressive how it can spin up whole paragraphs in seconds. But when everyone starts leaning on it, you lose that raw snap that used to make scrolling through X feel alive. That's not authentic human energy we're seeing flood the feed anymore, it's carefully smoothed-out content that sounds smart on the surface but somehow lands completely flat.
To be real with you, what could be said in just a few blunt words ends up wrapped in this elaborate tapestry of thoughtful transitions, nuanced observations, and extra context that honestly makes you wonder why anyone bothered in the first place. It's a testament to how these tools, while powerful and versatile, tend to prioritize comprehensive elaboration over actually getting to the damn point.

@MaxfieldStandIn It was a big warehouse with lots of furniture, so space wasn't an issue. I actually reckon it was cheap because its a bit scuffed and maybe hard to shift because its mildly spooky
English

@ShroudedHand It was cheap because it's big and they don't have much floor space, so they want to move it as quickly as possible.
Still, might grab some White Sage and Holy Water, cover your bases.
