HBO has released the trailer for the new Harry Potter series. I don't care how much you loved HP 20 years ago. Do. Not. Watch. This. Trailer. And DO. NOT. WATCH. THE. SHOW. Watching these only feeds Rowling's funds with which she oppresses Trans people.

Just saw Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Have to say, I think it might have displaced Spider-Man 2 as my favorite movie with the wall crawler. Not sure if I want to do a full blog about it, but damn. Such great characterizations and an interesting plot.

I just finished my first watch-through of Netflix's 2018 animated series She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. That might be the best-plotted, best-acted, best animated animated series I've ever seen. The themes of love, redemption, and what it means to be a hero are so perfectly done. I may blog it.

"Treat others how you wish to be treated," is a sentiment repeated throughout Christopher Nolan's epic, The Odyssey. Based on the epic poem attributed to the poet Homer (who may not even have existed), Nolan's Odyssey takes plenty of modern liberties with the source material. The Greeks speak in modern speech, using colloquialisms such as "dad," "daddy." and "f**k." The costumes are gorgeous but likely inaccurate to the time period in many cases.

Fuck Texas for making me invest in a VPN. I should probably have gotten one sooner, but the point is I shouldn't have to disclose "age-verification data" to an untrustworthy third-party vendor just to access social media. #ginafortexas #talaricofortexas

As an avid Stargate fan, I hate to say it, but these fans are idiots. I get wanting to see the story continue, but really, it had kind of played out by the end. I want to see the concept treated in a fresh, new way if it has to be brought back.

New from Miranda Williamson: In order to receive accreditation, social work programs must ensure students become "culturally competent." That means these programs are some of the last vestiges of so-called "DEI" in Texas universities.
Some Republicans want to change that.

Forcing AI to reveal it's sources would cripple it, because it literally can't comply with the law, because all of it is stolen- they didn't record it

Black Forest Labs (like Stability AI) likely took a bunch of work off the internet in order to train their AI. A bill in California would force transparency in their dataset.
