    Today on the 5: The move that many people (including me) expected well before now has come at last. Disney is suing Midjourney over alleged piracy via their AI tools, and I would guess many artists couldn't be more conflicted on rooting for the House Of Mouse to win.

    Today on the 5: Yesterday I talked about my genuine excitement over the iPad updates announced at WWDC. Another aspect that many others have been discussing is Liquid Glass, the new design approach. In this case, I see both sides of the arguments on whether it's a good change.

    Today on the 5: Apple's WWDC events are generally pretty skippable for me as they usually focus on prodcts I either don't use or have changes that don't really matter to me. The news this year got my attention because it seems like Apple is finally going to get the iPad closer to what it could be, or at least closer than it has been since it launched.

    Today on the 5: For our movie review this week, Lando and I watched Black Cat 2, the 1992 sequel to Black Cat. You'll find sharply divided opinions on whether the first movie or the sequel is superior, but in my view it all comes down to what kind of movie you're in the mood for.

    Today on the 5: I was looking through the magnificent Criterion Channel film selections and saw one titled Gypsy 83. I'm not typically much of a "coming of age" film person, but this looked different and since it's Pride month, I figured why not see how it is. Turns out, it's pretty good!

    TRoday on rhe 5: Between the latest episode of Everyday People and one of the newer RLM videos, I started thinking about how people might react to the probably increasing flood of junky AI video. Is it possible we'll see demand for a video focused version of something we're already pretty familiar with: the ad blocker.

    Today on the 5: On top of increasing game prices and moving games towards digital downloads, Nintendo has recently announced they will have the capability to brick consoles violating their EULA policies. Right now those policies seem aimed at preventing piracy, which is at least defensible. The problem is, this also requires you to trust the company not to change those policies in the future to include far less defensible violations.
