Disappointed once again, @alamodrafthouse! I couldn’t make any changes to my bill after the film. Good ol’ @AMCTheatres looking better all the time.

Thanks, @alamodrafthouse, for enshittifying the movie experience. You used to be different. So much for that.

A sneak peek at some of the data we’ll showcase in Morrison Planetarium tonight! For anyone attending this evening’s #ASTC2025 gathering at @calacademy, come to our 8:30 program highlighting research from the Academy and @AMNH. With immersive visualizations in @OpenSpaceProj.

Is it somewhat insulting to subject 6,000 attendees of #LPS25 to an AI-generated “welcome”? You wouldn’t take the time to shoot a video but you’re going to have your AI clone take up our collective time?
