Personally I would not pick this fight with the youtube guy who demonstrates all the ways he can nail you with an arrow at 200 yards using his feet while wearing 12-inch Pleasers, whose wife can also kill you with her bare hands, and has 9 billionteen followers who are all trans women with swords.
Blumineck lo ha vuelto a hacer 🥹 le aplaudo hasta que se me caigan las manos, bravo.

it is remarkable that this has happened despite a near-unanimous effort from mainstream politicians and news media to prevent it from happening. there's some hope there
During the First and Second Intifadas the gap was, like, 40-50 points. Now that's not only gone but it's gone negative. Incredible work really.

You cannot make a movie demonizing "effeminate" male characters and then try to claim you made a gay movie on purpose. Or I guess you can... if you're a fucking hack.

300 is indeed very gay. It's also one of the key texts of the War on Terror: a clash of civilizations between the masculine, enlightened West and the decadent, subhuman East that hit theaters two months after the Iraq troop surge was announced. variety.com/2026/film/fe...

Since we are here, I want to point out that DreamSpinner did register some copyrights.
I don't know how many of their registered copyrights have reverted to them, but I'm guessing they'll get into the six figures from the Anthropic settlement.

Me looking up ONE SPECIFIC author, who blocked an inquiry into whether his publisher was paying royalties and also incidentally did me extremely dirty: Damon Suede, I see that Dreamspinner didn't register your copyright.
Ah, well. As they sow, so shall they reap.

werner herzog on AI filmmaking (from here www.indiewire.com/features/int...)
![Q: A couple years ago at IDFA, I saw this movie "About a Hero," which is this partly Al-generated hybrid documentary that tries to recreate the atmosphere of your films.
A: The intention of this young filmmaker was never to remake any [of my films], but making something in the spirit. And I immediately said, "You will fail. It is such a stupid idea. It's phenomenally, abysmally stupid. I will not take part in it." He wanted me to explain things and have my voice in it.
I said, "You are alone. There's such a thing as free speech, which I respect. So go ahead and fail." And it is a failure, period.
It's so standardized that Al can step in because there's not real storytelling. It's mimicry of something that has happened before. And I welcome Al to replace all the idiots who are into nothing but repeating, repeating, repeating until it's ad nauseam.
When it's ad nauseam, please, please, please let Al step in and do the job.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v5vphilwcf6nunioeyrpxw6g/bafkreibeadpx66jtqlttglhgbgkew6g65haxqngz5yt6p3ybwyi5zney54)

I know this is a common belief, but it’s not true. If people went anti-vaxx/MAHA because they were excluded from the medical establishment, we would see sky-high rates among poor people, minorities and the uninsured. We don’t.
