“Film Twitter” is still not real, but there was a time when you could discuss films with strangers, all of whom had a shared idea of what they were. There was still grotesque, confounding bullshit, but there was a baseline understanding of “a movie.” That time has passed.

This was really well done by @ossoff. It drives me crazy when Senators waste their time at hearings with speeches. Ask questions. Follow up. Expose lies and equivocation. Reveal new information and details. That is so much more valuable than hearing yourself talk!

Ossoff: Was it the assessment of the intelligence community that there was an imminent nuclear threat posed by the Iranian regime? Gabbard: The only person who can determine what is and is not an imminent threat is the president. It is not the intelligence community's responsibility to determine what is and is not an imminent threat. Ossoff: It is precisely your responsibility. This is the worldwide threats hearing where, as you noted in your opening testimony quote, you represent the ic's assessment of threats.

I'm getting some "who cares?" replies on this.
Obviously I'm more interested in the Biden funeral oration than normal people are. But talk to a non-politics junkie, you'd be surprised how "Dems tried to run a half-dead guy then replaced him without a primary" comes up.

He's not kidding. This was a verbatim part of Biden's *eulogy for Jesse Jackson.* Just a rambling mess.

How many single tasks would a human operator/trainer need to perform for the system to learn the nuances? How many times must I pick up an apple before I can hand off that chore to the bots?

Hugo Gernsback editorialized in 1928:
"When I coined the word "scientifiction" in 1915, I knew: sometime or other it was bound to become popular, and I even cherished a secret hope that some day it might appear in a standard dictionary. In any event, "scientifiction" is a word that will grow with the added years.
"As science advances, scientifiction will advance and flourish. No one of to-day can even see what it may produce. There was a time when science made scientifiction. The time has already come when scientifiction makes science. The author who works out a brand new idea in a scientifiction plot may be hailed as an original inventor years later, when his brain-child will have taken wings and when cold-blooded scientists will have realized the author's ambition."

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!

@DNathan70056 I think the spoiler-heavy ad sells the movie quite effectively. Promises that all-important gore.

@HumanoidHistory I think the original F13 had three major selling points that helped it become a classic: the gore, the ending scene on the lake, and that poster.
