AI has detected AI do you want AI to rewrite it so there's no AI? I don't know, can God make a rock so heavy even he can't lift it?

Director Alain Guirardie's deadpan comic thriller MISIRCORDIA (2024) plays out in a tiny French village, the kind where everyone knows everyone's business... or at least has suspicions about it. Here's our discussion. 🎥 #CineMastodony #film #movies #monly

Powerful performances drive the story of a home birth that ends tragically and fractures family relationships in PIECES OF A WOMAN (2020, D. Kornél Mundruczó). Here's our discussion.

I don’t know who or what Mr. Beast is and I actively refuse to Google; whenever someone references him I just picture blue Kelsey Grammer from X-Men and I’m sticking with that

@TimWardCam Some time in-between TOS and the first movie Roddenberry was asked if Star Trek came back, would he continue to portray women as sex objects. He said, yes, and I'll also continue to portray men as sex objects.

RE: @randahl@mastodon.social

I had all kinds of reservations about Harris but I voted for her. If not for the purity-testers, the “bOtH SiDeS tHE same” crowd and the sheer laziness of non-voters all this waste, crime, death and destruction could have been prevented.

@gbargoud@masto.nyc @ApostateEnglishman@mastodon.world @mastodonmigration@mastodon.online @benroyce@mastodon.social folks, may I join this conversation with a question? I have a Bluesky account, and was inviting people to switch to Mastodon. Someone immediately replied “most instances are run by Zionists” and claimed widespread suppression of any anti-Israel sentiment. Their statement bears no resemblance to my personal experience on here. What do you know? One disgruntled ex user, or does this person have a legitimate free-speech beef?

@feditips what I really want to know, why is Mastodon so inconsistent about providing preview images for linked content? Sometimes I get them, sometimes not. It seems random.
