ODE TO A BROKEN PLATE;
Once whole and round, now broke in two, a little plate I bought from new.

ICYMI: An AI-generated film is coming to theaters in December, aiming to be the first AI movie nominated for best animated feature at the Oscars.
But will the violent, R-rated "Gods Don't Give Gifts," made by @Gossip_Goblin and @fableshowrunner, get past the Oscars' AI aversion?variety.com/2026/film/news/a…
JON STEWART: “So in the FUTURE we WILL use A.I. to cure diseases… but right now it’s mostly murder, surveillance, and surge pricing for the McRib — What a trade! I’m getting the sense you guys might be full of shit.”
