I really didn't want to start another subscription, but I had to give some support to Molly White @molly0xfff I was behind on her critical Citation Needed, and the post/audio from May 1 is exactly the call I needed to hear. We CAN have the web we want. We really can. https://www.citationneeded.news/we-can-have-a-different-web/

Reddit (valued around $10 billion in 2021) signed a deal only getting $60 million a year to let a (yet unnamed) company scrape all its user data to train AI.

Doesn't seem like the data ON Reddit is being valued very highly BY Reddit. What's the vibe on their IPO?

@SomeGadgetGuy to be fair, I'm sure they just cut them a rate based on their struggling financial circumstances. It's not like they have checks notes ...$110B in cash just sitting in the bank.

Very excited about the combined slate of movies a combined Warner-Paramount might never release. https://www.axios.com/2023/12/20/warner-bros-paramount-merger-discovery-streaming

@harrymccracken Just think of the back catalog a combined company like that could keep locked away from viewers! https://mastodon.social/@harrymccracken/111615565621789604

Just finished Deadloch, on a recommendation from @stpaultim . Really enjoyed the show, great acting and writing. But wow with the swearing in Australian shows! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadloch

I’ve now been enjoying for 10 months & am delighted by the thoughtful engagement here. I’m also increasingly interested to learn more about who I’m connecting with in the fediverse.

Where are you from?

Always love the Correct Opinions of @charliejane and @annaleen. I love in most forms (did not like Picard) and love living in an age of so many ways to think about these stories. QT https://mastodon.social/@ouropinions@wandering.shop/110470115649607719

Finally finished Mrs. Davis and it was a fantastic ride. One uneven episode, but wow what a story, imagination and performances!

Episode 3 and the Exalibattle was a little too much swimming in the sea of toxic masculinity for me. I found myself wishing for the episode to be over so we could get back to Simone. When they did, it really delivered.

I would like it to be noted I am still working and not just playing with my light saber. I am growing as a person.

Really starting to think we need to shut this Supreme Court thing down until we can figure out what the heck is going on.

@steveboland@mastodon.social avatar

@jpanzer At the very least try turning it off and then back on again.

@jpanzer Looking forward to Court1.0. - This 200+ year beta is not aging well. Missing features like... any accountability at all?
