Watching Gladiator 2. It’s pretty piss poor. But intriguingly every time somebody pours a glass of wine the words “alcohol consumption is injurious” come up on the bottom right of the screen. Is this what it’s come to? Are we really that mollycoddled? A film about violence, murder and death warns about a glass of wine? No wonder dictators think our democratic culture is screwed. It’s pathetic. Why is there no warning that getting your head severed is even more injurious to your health than a glass of wine?

Do you still trust legacy media? I only trust 𝕏. I’ve deleted all the news apps. Trust me you’ll be happy you did.

Merry Christmas and may you have a wonderful New Year! 🎁🎄🎅 x.com/i/grok/share/N…

MOVIES MADE BY AI? WE’RE BASICALLY THERE NOW Every shot in The Heist was created with Google Veo 2’s text-to-video AI. No cameras. No sets. Just words turned into film. Jason Zada handled the sound, editing, and music, but the visuals? Pure AI. We’re on the brink of AI-made movies becoming the norm. Think about it—storyboards to screen without ever picking up a camera. Hollywood, you nervous yet? Source: @jasonzada
