Hey, les gens qui développent avec l’IAgen, et qui traitent de “radicaux rigides” (voire bloquent à vue 😇) celleux qui leur rappellent qu’éliminer une profession, bruler la planète, détruire la société, et accueillir le technofascisme, il faut peut-être, peut-être, y penser à deux fois ?

'AI' is a dick move, redux

Writing at the end of the world, from Hveragerði, Iceland

Notaufnahme

Der Monitor piept.
Stephen Dürr, 51, Ex-Soapstar, liegt auf der Trage.
3,4 Promille. Herzstillstand. Reanimation erfolgreich.
Drei Sanitäter, zwei Ärzte, eine Pflegekraft – alle um ihn herum.
Draußen Kameras. Dschungelcamp-Kandidat. Wieder einer.

Im Wartebereich:
Ein Kind mit Fieberkrämpfen.
Eine Rentnerin mit Atemnot.
Ein Bauarbeiter mit gebrochenem Handgelenk.
Wartend. Schweigend. Unsichtbar.

An der Wand hängt ein Plakat: „Wir sind für alle da.“

Ein junger Assistenzarzt murmelt: „Friede den Hütten…“
Die Oberärztin antwortet, ohne aufzusehen: „Krieg den Palästen.“

If you wrote a fictional villain saying, "I've killed more people than Jeffrey Dahmer," your editor would just burst into flames and die. Adding (in the same sentence) "and I don't think I'm a bad guy" would similarly murder any worthwhile acting coach. This timeline needs better writers. #subtext

I wrote about Margaret LaFleur's "All's Well" and a gorgeous moment beyond words, when subtext bubbles to the surface.

"But we want to be racist, why can't you just let us do our racist shit, and still give us accomodations for our own intersectionalities?"

I love people questioning my basic competence in the most patronising way possible! It's definitely a productive thing to do.

I've got a class starting next week about Dialogue, Gesture, and Staging.

4 weeks, Thursdays, 9/18/25 - 10/9/25, 6pm-9pm (North American Central time), Zoom, $222/$200 (Loft member)

It covers a variety of tools to make dialogue come alive in your scenes—with specific techniques to make it realistic (if that's your thing), dynamic, compelling, resonant, and/or vibrant.

“Song Jiang was a chivalrous man whose main interest was skill with weapons. Sex had only a moderate appeal.”

“In the lamplight Song Jiang noted with pleasure what a fine figure of a man Wu Song was”

Okay, I know it’s a translation and medieval Chinese culture is something I have no understanding of at all, but I know homosexual subtext when I see it.
