EXCLUSIVE: Tarantino Making Movie About Gheys & AIDS

THE KILLOUGH CHRONICLES

by James Killough

There comes a time in every gay writer-director-producer-bloggueur’s career when he must decide if he ever wants a knighthood, which he is eligible for thanks to his dual citizenship with Australia, or an award from the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD). Just the fact I have been calling them “the Swish Inquisition” for a while now means that forswearing such a coveted prize is a foregone conclusion.

I don't think Adam Lambert is fixin' to do a Gillette commercial any time soon.

As for the knighthood, I have a Groucho Marx attitude toward all awards: I don’t want anything that would be handed out to someone like me. Rewards, on the other hand, I’m all for.

.@kevinroose My view is we make too much of sentience and "nuance." My few interactions with ChatGPT tell me that it is indeed already capable of what we believe to be sentience. Most humans have such limited knowledge and perspective; it's nothing like https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/16/technology/bing-chatbot-microsoft-chatgpt.html… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1636130434974371840

Good for @Wellesley for not giving in to kids whose neural pathways are far from settled. And I say that as a biological-male-who-lives-as-a-man-who-loves-men Wesleyan alum who's had to explain that he didn't go to Wellesley way too many times.
