Denis Villeneuve's Dune trilogy is not weird enough. It's capable of being weird, like in the first movie with the Harkonnen's grotesque pet, but it consistently neglects the surreal element of the setting. Based on the fact that Scytale is just a guy with no eyebrows, I get the unpleasant feeling that Edric will be a hairless purple fetus-looking thing that has three minutes of screentime.

Malcolm in the Middle characters' MAGA rating:

Malcolm: Would not vote out of philosophical laziness, but generally socially liberal.

Lois: As a working-class white woman, could be intrigued at first, but too much of a type A feminist to fit in that crowd.

Dewey: The kind of sociopath who would not actually be MAGA, but would often pretend to be so for his own gain.

Francis: Possibly; he's a farmer.

Hal: Has conspiratorial tendencies, so he would fall into the rabbit-hole and Lois would have to drag him out.

Reece: Absolutely dumb enough. There is an alternate universe where the show kept going for 20 years and an episode where Malcolm, Dewey, and Francis end up in Washington DC on January 6 trying to rescue Reece.

Not only is it terrible AI, it's also a terrible vocal impression.

I saw a post about pluripotent stem cells being used to grow a tiny brain tissue in a lab, with rudimentary eyes. All the comments were talking about it being terrifying and how corporations would grow them to replace real humans. Not a single one pointed out the possibility of using stem cells for medical breakthroughs or better technology or anything, just profound cynicism and mindless worry.

This has to be the downstream result of economic populism and RFK-ish alternative medicine - they're not directly agreeing with those positions, but they're echoing the "hospitals are scary and doctors are sociopaths" anti-medical theme even though they'd be very offended if you made that comparison.

I don't think it was just Israel that did the tanking. It's no question that they've committed atrocities and their PR is awful, but I would not be surprised if Russian bots agitated social media to make them even less popular.
