Journalistic dishonesty out in the open. So many problems. One that stands out is thinking it can explain scholarly work.
Megan McArdle@asymmetricinfo
I use AI to do research (i.e., find things to read, explain parts of academic papers I find ambiguous or confusing), transcribe interviews, generate pushback on my column thesis, suggest trims when I'm over my word count, sharpen podcast interview questions, and perform a final fact check on columns and editorials. But mostly it's compressing the ancillary tasks to the main job: reading, thinking, and writing.

@vanbosic @fisackerly What are "we" supposed to do exactly? The creator of Harry Potter is a vicious bigot who uses the wealth and popularity she gets from the franchise she created to make the world more hostile to marginalized people. This may be hard to swallow, but there is no separating the two.
English
@fisackerly Actually, all this is doing is promoting transphobia and it's crazy that you guys don't realize how much damage this does.
We need to keep transphobia as far away from Harry Potter as possible or it's just going to use it as a way to reach more people.

Obvious Snape is a particularly bad character to raceswap for a bunch of reasons others have already stated but, to an extent, there are very few HP characters you could do this to without running into similar issues.

First look at Paapa Essiedu as Snape in the 'Harry Potter' series

I appreciate this for giving us something good to counter the weak but unfortunately popular argument that "obviously [original animated movie] is more colorful than [modern remake]! One is a cartoon and the other is live action, they're different mediums!"

@YeezyboyC @cyanCrusader @Stratos_arts Do they? Horrigan and Smasher I'll give you but who is Mr. X or Nemesis the right hand man to?
English
@cyanCrusader @Stratos_arts Maybe but we don't know if op was counting physical traits aswell I assume they meant the trope itself which all 4 of these guys fit + the 2 you added
English
Personally I think this shift is an example of the ways that capitalism wants to turn us from active participants in culture into passive consumers. The question around which DotA revolves has changed from "what do you think about a work?" to "have you consumed a work?"
English
Sometimes I'm tempted to write an essay on why Death of the Author has warped from a question of whether an authors own opinions regarding their work should influence yours or if the work should stand on its own to a question of if it's okay to "consume" art made by a dick
Avary@LayOnbedL
@DiscussingFilm People who hate Harry Potter because they can't separate the art from the artist.

@xaviersonline_ Harry and Ron are gonna be hiding their hairlines by Goblet

The HARRY POTTER TV series won't have one season a year "For some of the bigger shows like Harry Potter, huge world-building shows, it would be nice to have those on an annual basis. But from a production point of view, it’s just not possible." - Casey Bloys
English
@GoodLuckIvarent Its funny that the first dragons dogma actually had both guts and griffith's armor sets/weapons in the game but ended up having to take them out due to a rights issue.
English
@rifflexielian If its got enough sides it becomes a gemstone and then you're in an adventure movie
English
If people are fighting for an orb you are reading fantasy. If people are fighting for a cube you are reading sci-fi. If it has more sides than that. I dont know. I dont know man.
English
Matt, you gotta fix the ventilation in your apartment/secret hideout. I know you're blind so it doesn't really matter to you but think of your guests! You cook a steak in the kitchen and all of a sudden they can't see 5 feet in front of them

New look at Karen Page and Matt Murdock in ‘DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN’ Season 2.
English
@travbryanmusic @supwiththedevil Remember kids, a good character arc is one you repeat over and over and the more you repeat it the more character arcer it is
English
@supwiththedevil He’s battling demons. His whole character arc his trying to be better and getting pulled back in
English
Isn't this literally the plot of every season of The Punisher?
Daredevil Shots@_DaredevilShots
Official synopsis for Marvel Television Special Presentation ‘THE PUNISHER ONE LAST KILL’. "As Frank Castle searches for meaning beyond revenge, an unexpected force pulls him back into the fight."
English
@RichardOcelot @raqattack08 Not true, from my experience. I guess you missed it
English
@RepublicofTim @raqattack08 Don't know what you want me to say, he was posting those skull pics on IG and bigging up the military on every talk show back then and it didn't cause any significant controversy or backlash. Didn't cause any problem at all.
English
The fact that Jon Bernthal was given a quick 60-minute Punisher project and he decided to write yet another "What if Frank Castle was retired?" story.
I loved him in Daredevil season 2 so much so it's hard to face that deep down he just doesn't understand the Punisher.
Levi@Imn0tDaredevil
Giving Jon Bernthal creative control over Punisher is like giving a chimp a machine gun. Dude is literally gonna repeat the same fucking arc from seasons 1 and 2 and call it quits
English
@raqattack08 I swear to god this was seen as generally not weird in 2015, nowadays absolutely fckn not.
English
@bingbinghulu @futchism Yeah and all the unhealthy food is right at the front of the grocery store next to the registers so it's really not someone's fault if they walk out of Safeway with a bag full of snickers bars
English
@futchism it's hard to blame them because the most popular books that are always out in the open shelves in libraries and stores are those wattpad stories. for ppl that have never grown up going to the library/very into reading they will start there and inevitably be disappointed
English
This makes sense if all you read is published wattpad fanfiction
English
@AllexiConn @klara_sjo You realize reading and literacy are skills right? Skills with levels of competency, skills you can lose if you don't practice
English
@klara_sjo Yes, it's just semantics is all, b/c "reading" is the visual method of consuming literature.
The latter depends on the person.
