In what appears to be an escalating incursion into a user’s digital privacy, a collective of film companies continue to implore the court to compel Reddit to surrender its users’ personal details. This move is part of an ongoing piracy liability case against Internet Service Providers. Reddit, however, steadfastly resists, staunchly defending its users’ rights to anonymous speech.

Not the shitty movies we’re pumping out as if there were no tomorrow.

With the writers and actors all in strike, they won't be putting out any movies until they decide to be less shitty and come to the table in good faith, or all the writers starve and come crawling back because they have families to feed. I'm not holding my breath on a happy ending, honestly.

Sir, you have a message from someone called, "A.I."

I was talking more in general but yeah, there’s also the strike.
