It really is. And it's funny to think it came about because some fans thought the Moody Blues members were spiritual leaders and not just rock musicians.

Correction: He wrote TWO of the heaviest bangers they ever did.

R.I.P. John Lodge. One of the true godfathers of progressive rock.

The Moody Blues weren't ever known for doing hard rockers, but John wrote and sang lead on probably the heaviest banger they ever did.

"There is no perfect candidate" does not mean "roll over and let certain groups get screwed over".

"Harm reduction" is only a valid strategy when it actually reduces harm.

Un-fucking-believable. Swap out "trans rights" with the name of ANY non-white ethnic group and you'll see how ludicrous and cowardly this kind of moderate Liberalism sounds.

And yes, "purity tests" are definitely aggravating (see, people turning on Mamdani for incredibly stupid reasons)... but that's not what this is.

'Don't care if what they're looking at is AI'

Nah, we've been pretty vocal about how we don't like the idea of Generative AI in our entertainment. But let's see if that statement will still hold within a year or so, Mr. Blum.

Jason Blum says Hollywood should 'embrace AI' and viewers 'don't care if what they’re looking at is AI"

"it’s here to stay. It’s very important to use it ethically and legally, and for studios and guilds to protect the copyright of the artists"

TV tropes is an incredible triumph. It catalogued and organized the massive writers' toolbox and now everyone gets mad when the tools get used.

Lyta 🐅 Dangerous Fictions is OUT 🐅 Gold @lytagold.bsky.social · Aug 27

tv tropes taught a whole generation of readers to mistake basic pattern recognition for gotcha criticism and a whole generation of writers to feel insecure every time they came up with an idea that happened to be in conversation with other ideas

I followed him on Twitter for a while before I moved to Bluesky, so I always knew that Phil Vischer was a chill guy.

One of the sadder stories I learned was that Eric Metaxes, who co-wrote the scripts of some episodes, cut ties with Vischer in 2021 after political differences between him -

TheSpookySpaceman 🪐 @thehappyspaceman.bsky.social · 4d

I had no idea the creator of VeggieTales was a chill guy. Most people I know of who make explicitly Christian media tend to be crazies.

Also, this series of tweets really highlights just how wild the Book of Revelation is. There's a reason Aphrodite's Child's 666 turned out the way it did.

- him (a VERY vocal Trump supporter) and Vischer (a vocal critic of Trump), which resulted not only Phil, but also any family members blocked from his Twitter. Phil felt upset about it after being good friends with him since 1999.

Granted, I haven't seen much from him outside of the show, so maybe if I had I wouldn't be surprised. But that's still good to hear. And heck yeah, always happy to plug that underrated, strange, weird, brilliant album.

So I just finished Lower Decks and I got oddly choked up. Everything I could have wanted in a series finale. 🥹
