It is not right that a single film or television production professional should lose their job to AI. That said, those that work in media production need to look at what #Veo3 can do and plan accordingly.

Anti-MAGA is having a good laugh at this, but what no one has thought of is that this might be a sign of frustration about to become violence. On a national scale.

The real dander is the space alien going by the name Gordon Shumway, hiding in the attic of the Tanner family of suburban Ohio.

I actually saw a MAGAT tweet recently that I believes why they tolerate so much economic blowback: “We can survive being poor. We cannot survive being replaced.” Not much doubt who “we” refers to.

Selina Kyle is actually fictional. Someone who doesn’t like seeing fictional characters portrayed as Black just does not want to be reminded that Black people exist.

Sometimes you’re given a thing that you never knew about but somehow always needed. For instance, I never conceived of a Predator movie that’s a buddy comedy between a disgraced Predator and a wacky android, but . . .

So I’m seeing MAGAts start to wonder why the President is so reluctant to release a list of rich pedophiles, and why their gas still isn’t cheap. And some in Congress are condemning Vance for blowing off war crimes. You love to see it.

To all of the farmers losing their farms due to cut benefits and factory workers losing their jobs because of the tariffs, you should go see Trump. In person. March up to the White House like those brave patriots stormed the Capitol and don’t leave until you’ve spoke to him.

MAGA bases its idea of when America was great based on old movies and tv shows with racially segregated casts and scripts carefully censored to make sure people bought soap, cars, and whatever else was sponsoring. There was plenty that media never showed.

You know, if we just could just agree that everyone could express and be who they are inside without hurting anyone, love who they want, and not push their religion--whatever it--as law upon the rest of us, we might just survive as a species.

Without endorsing anything, if MAGA is going to start killing MAGA, maybe the thing for the rest of us to do is just take a giant step back.

So this is how the late-night talk era ends. Not with a bang, or a whimper, or even audience apathy, but with authoritarianism.
