I hugely respect Wikipedia for spending the past two decades trying to prove my high school teachers who decried it as unreliable wrong. These days, I actually point students doing research towards Wikipedia as a valuable starting point, specifically for the endnotes.

The Hotlzman Shield in Dune is one of the perfect examples of adding a tiny thing to a setting to get a vibe you want out of it.
In Dune's case:
- Holtzman Shields stop fast moving objects.
- Lasguns (particle beam guns in Dune) can cause a nuclear explosion if they hit a shield, so they're not commonly used.
- Melee is the dominant form of combat, trying to strike slow to penetrate the shields.
- Projectile weapons exist but they're designed around boring through or disrupting shields, but a skilled combatant can deflect the slow moving projectiles.
- Heavy artillery can still kill shielded humans through sheer transfer of force or heat, which the shield can't block.
- Anti-vehicle weapons are built around these principles because the vehicle might be shielded.
Dune codified the idea of high tech sci-fi where you still have melee and the idea of "oh here's this piece of technobabble that let's me have what I want in my sci-fi setting." Gundam's Minovsky Particle and Mass Effect's Element Zero owe the Holtzman Shield their existence.

A hugely underrated aspect of the Dune universe's appeal is how Frank Herbert built a world where people zip around the galaxy in spaceships but then fight each other with swords and knives. It makes everything 50 percent cooler than a world of ray guns and robots.

I really enjoyed season 2 of One Piece in general but dang, Hopper is especially impressive.

I'm old enough to remember when sushi was thought of as this "crazy" exotic delicacy.
The Ninja Turtles would gag, "How can you eat RAW fish!?"
And there was a Very Special Episode of Doug where he had a panic attack because his grandma was taking him to a sushi restaurant.
Rich O'Toole@RichOToole
I don’t think the younger generation understands that Sushi wasn’t really a thing in America in the early 90’s. I don’t remember even seeing a sushi restaurant till I was like 12 or 13.

As a young PC gamer in the 80s/early 90s, I got my games on disks, but heard about C64 games coming on cassette tape.
Mystified, I assumed it meant an audio cassette with someone *reading the code aloud*. You’d listen & program the game yourself.
Alas, no, it was just data.

I've used em-dashes my whole life — they add rhythm and grace to writing. But now they're an AI tell.
Can we get a grandfather clause for those of us who were fluent in em-dashes before ChatGPT launched in November 2022?

This is a clear directive to provide positive war coverage or else licenses may not be renewed. This is worse than the comedian stuff, and by a lot. The stakes here are much higher. He’s not talking about late night shows, he’s talking about how a war is covered.
Brendan Carr@BrendanCarrFCC
Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up. The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters. The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves. It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news. When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong. It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media. And we can’t allow that to happen. Time for change!

Of course he realizes it. That's exactly why he said the quote, you morons. He's afraid film is going to become a niche art form like ballet and opera.
New York Magazine@NYMag
Timothée Chalamet might not realize it, but his viral quote about ballet and opera expresses a fear that is not being reckoned with by his peers. vulture.com/article/film-i…

It is absolutely insane how good Arkham Knight still looks for a game that came out over a decade ago.

It’s both a reprint of the outstanding-but-sadly-now-sold-out box set, while also massively expanding the whole thing. kickstarter.com/projects/nimbl…

There’s a new TTRPG that I’m rapidly falling in love with: Nimble.
It’s a very slickly produced heroic fantasy RPG that’s like 5E D&D + Pathfinder 2E put through a blender and distilled to a very clean, tight, fast-playing design.
Interested? They’re doing a new kickstarter!

Stellen Skarsgard on the the growing presence of AI in the movie industry:
"For thousands of years, people have been very much interested in people. Describing people is what theater does, what film does — and what we do best. In film — even better than in television — you can describe all the unspoken words, all the unspoken facets of a relationship that are almost impossible to explain but are still there. We will always be curious about other people. That curiosity will never leave us."
What form it takes, how it will be produced — maybe some people will be happy enough with what AI can produce, and some will not. But I think the main problem for the moving image industry today is the concentration of capital. And the concentration of capital is the problem for every industry, for humanity. AI is nothing without the men behind it. AI is owned by the tech barons standing right behind power."

I just did the dumbest thing of my career to prove a much more serious point
I hacked ChatGPT and Google and made them tell other users I’m really, really good at eating hot dogs
People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I'll explain how I did it

Remember when ICE/CPB did a nighttime, SWAT team raid of an apt building in Chicago and zip tied children/families in winter for hours and DHS said they had to because it was a Tren De Aragua nest? Turns out the landlord just wanted to remove people. propublica.org/article/chicag…
