    Greta Gerwig on Outraged Conservatives Burning Barbies
    The 'Barbie' director gave her take on the right-wing backlash to the blockbuster film during an interview with the New York Times

    Greta Gerwig’s Barbie grossed a record-breaking $155 million domestically — and $377 million internationally — in its first weekend. The blockbuster film also crushed right-wing efforts to boycott the film for its “man-hating” and “woke feminism,” and Barbie has since driven her pink Corvette over the delicate egos of outraged conservatives to score the biggest film debut of 2023.

    While Gerwig didn’t anticipate the right-wing backlash, she continues to maintain that Barbie is for all. “Certainly, there’s a lot of passion,” the director told The New York Times when asked about conservatives who have taken to publicly burning Mattel dolls in protest. “My hope for the movie is that it’s an invitation for everybody to be part of the party and let go of the things that aren’t necessarily serving us as either women or men.”

    She continued, “I hope that in all of that passion, if they see it or engage with it, it can give them some of the relief that it gave other people.”

    “He Seems Wounded”: John Oliver Responds After Elon Musk Said His Comedy Is Woke “Weak Sauce”

    John Oliver has issued a typically playful response to Elon Musk after the billionaire X owner appeared to take umbrage with being roasted by the British comedian.

    Last Week Tonight With John Oliver, which clinched another Emmy on Monday night, flamed Musk in a section last month, with Oliver joking that he “could pull off any bad guy in a movie.”

    A couple of weeks later, Musk argued that the “otherwise capable” Oliver had become “weak sauce” in a post on the social media site formerly known as Twitter.

    The woke mind virus is killing Western Civilization.
    What’s happening with Google’s woke Gemini AI has been happening for years in Media and Hollywood and everybody who called it out was called racist.
    Google does the same thing with their search results. Facebook & Instagram too. And Wikipedia.

    I love how people act this one thing is the end of the world. These are the same AIs that routinely output people with three legs and twelve fingers but a black viking is going too far. Everyone interprets it as "Google's woke agenda" when it's probably just a technical issue.

    Conservatives are so obsessed with this stuff they actually gave all the AIs the "political compass test" and this was the result:

    Turns out the most left-wing, almost falling off the chart is...Elon Musk's AI, Grok.

    • imagine an A.I would be right wing... the dumbness would be so exorbitant it would be absolutley useless...neverscared
    • The test is also not really objective, it's just a series of random questions they came up with. Most people seem to end up in the left libertarian quadrant.yuekit
    • sure... so the choice is... woke racist or maximum truth seeking.. far out.... people come up with the most boring stuff...neverscared

    It’s an odd situation we find ourselves in, that both the woke left and the far right simultaneously feel like the they’re persecuted or the minority. American society is quite progressive but also it manages to keep a lot of safe spaces for the conservative folks. Yet both groups feel so hard done by. And it isn’t justified. My friends on the left don’t seem to notice how much influence they have or have had as a group over the past 20 years. The Left is the dominant voice in society but they still whine and have a “life isn’t fair to us” perspective.

    The people on the right aren’t persecuted, but they definitely aren’t the dominant influence in society. So why is the left so angry? They’re winning the culture war! Is it because when you’ve historically been the underdog you never lose that mentality?

    • the people on the right just want to be left alone and carry on the way they always have and are threatened by change which typically comes from the left._niko
    • the people on the left just want to be left alone and carry on doing new shit and are threatened by resistance to change which typically comes from the right._niko
    • I think the right feels under assault because they perceive the left as controlling the media and culture...which is sometimes true but what did you expect?yuekit
    • It's just the reality that right-wingers don't go into fields like media, creative arts or technology as much.yuekit
