Corridors, remakes, sequels, streaming sludge and cinema pretending it found religion.
Sense Checks
Modern nonsense checked with numbers before it gets promoted to wisdom.
Latest Roasts
Fresh nonsense, checked with sources before the roasting begins.
- Supergirl Turns IMAX Into Streaming With a Cape and Dog
Supergirl (2026) gets the IMAX treatment, but the film feels like a streaming pilot stitched from cosmic grief, dog logic and cape fatigue, not wonder. - The Rich Get Frontier AI, the Rest Get Safety Talks Again
A roast on restricted frontier AI access, billionaire power, China open models and the old trick of calling exclusion safety for everyone else, again now. - CEOs Want Cheap AI to Replace Humans by Tomorrow MorningCEOs want AI to replace humans now. The receipts say cheaper models automate narrow tasks, while reasoning, robotics and judgement still cost real money.

Free ice cream is not a workplace heat policy. UK summers are getting hotter, while some employers still treat proper cooling as a treat, not safety or law. - Toy Story 5: The Big Screen Funeral For The Toy Box AgeToy Story 5 turns toys versus tech into a glossy family sermon, half playtime, half warning label for talking screens, AI friends and fading toy boxes.
- Workplace Respect Begins With Paying Every Minute WorkedWorkplace respect starts with paying every minute worked, protecting real breaks, fair overtime, and refusing to make workers donate unpaid time to profit.
- When One Song Without Hijab Becomes a Full Regime Panic
Iran’s reported sentence against Parastoo Ahmadi shows how authoritarian morality turns a song into a crime, then calls the whip public order today. Again. - AGI Dreams, Spreadsheet Factories And Safety Glasses RuleAI firms chase AGI while factories still copy software onto whiteboards, Excel sheets and emails, then call burnt-out workers weak when the line snaps.
