All I can think is that some people believe that being right about a doomsday scenario earlier than everyone else will make them the winner of doomsday or something.

The simple truth is people love this stuff and will watch it if you let them, not by putting it behind a premium fee. I fell in love with these cartoons as a kid because they used to be on TV all the time so I could, ya know, watch them lmao.

After leaving HBO Max earlier this year, ‘Looney Tunes’ is a hit on Tubi, the company says, and popular across generations. It should be a model for every classic cartoons trapped in streaming limbo.

If you cannot imagine the existence of a head space that falls somewhere between saying "the world is over" and one putting one's head in the sand, that's your failure of imagination, not mine.

A digital simulation of a work and weathered two color relief print on toned paper. A black goat with big horns curving back in a somewhat exaggerated running or prancing pose is turning his head to look back over his shoulder. There is a pole topped with a small inverted cross crooked in one of his front legs and attached to the pole, streaming over the goat, is a red banner bearing some crusty looking blackletter script reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’

The President, like all our leaders, is *our servant*. The White House is *the People's House.* Its tainted origins (or those of America itself) are irrelevant to this consensus. That is the principle that animates what is highest and best in the spirit of American governance, & Trump is smashing it

As always, today is a good day to support artists, writers, creators. If you have the means, maybe consider signing up for a Patreon. Buy a book, a game, a painting. Commission a new piece. Tell a creator what they mean to you. Signal boost their work.

At least Starfighter (allegedly) takes place in the post-sequel timeline. I’ll take any step *forward* at this point.

I mean… the heart wants what it wants, man. 🤷‍♂️

For better or worse, I fell hard for these characters in TFA, and all I’ve wanted from Star Wars since is to follow them on new adventures.

Instead, Lucasfilm seems to have just disavowed that whole era, and… it sucks, y’know?

Worth noting: After the end of the three-year pilot program this year, the Irish government found that for every pound invested, they got 43% profit. Keeping artists alive and financially safe is not just for moral good, it's also beneficial in terms of economics. Just let artists keep making art.

The Movie Rabbit Hole @themovierabbithole.bsky.social · 1d

The glorification of this needs to be stopped.
First - it's all bullshit. Any bit of acting by an actor these days is called "DID YOU KNOW this was improvised"
Second, this would be really fucking toxic
Third, actors CAN FUCKING ACT. They don't need to be "tricked" by someone else going off script

The teaser trailer remains a stroke of brilliance; virtually indistinguishable from a Funny Or Die parody in places.

This isn’t specific to our current moment but one completely irrational thing that Americans are forced to do is to go “well he won 53% of the 50% of people who voted so clearly 100% of people demanded this” and I mean what the fuck, how the fuck does that make sense

I think many people of various ideological persuasions are missing how much the ground has shifted against Trump in the realm of public opinion in the last 9 months. Mostly because they’ve bought into the manufactured media narrative that Trump won a “mandate”—which wasn’t true.

if you feel like shit and someone posts a joyful post about something you're not feeling great about... just don't reply to their happy post. post your sadness on your own tl. the same goes the other way, treat people with kindness where they're at, don't make your problems theirs.

Large recurved 19th century-style decorative lettering of the word MAYBE.
Under the ‘B’ is a shield shape with pointillist shading upon which fat script lettering reads IT WILL.
The shield is surrounded with a top-arched ribbon to the left and a bottom-arched ribbon below which have one word in dimensional wood type-styled lettering reading HAPPEN TODAY.
Below the arch of ‘happen’ is a small drawing of a skull and hourglass and there are leafy decorative flourishes in some of the negative spaces.
