As the Avatar marketing budget starts to render everything blue, a reminder that in 2013 Steven Joyce signed a deal allowing James Cameron to make unlimited Avatar sequels underwritten with a 25% govt subsidy. One big win for Joyce was the inclusion of NZ tourism ads on DVD releases.

watching the puberty blocker reaction on facebook - it's crucial to have messages there from health professionals and other experts, because that's where normie folks are
but the cookers are all there too in their closed groups, so every crucial post is immediately comment bombed

Free Friday is one of my fav things on all of Bluesky and if you've never participated, now is a great time to start. Bookmark this shit and be ready for next week!
it's saturday and we're supposed to be trying to make money.
but it's also less than a week from the most magical thing we're lucky enough to be a part of, where making money does not matter at all.
we'll open up donations to the gift-giving pot on wednesday.

Love this! And love to see all those Intensity coasters!
In FiveEvil Fiendish 5E Horror #TTRPG, the Intensity score sets the difficulty of every check you make (and does some other things too) - so the coasters show everyone around the table just how much trouble they're in

Still true but more upsetting
Really upset about the sudden prevalence of the letter Z on the timeline, it’s really difficult for those of us who have been subjected to lifelong training to detect the presence of that letter with our peripheral vision, praying for a discourse with less of the letter Z plskthx

Reporter to Mamdani: President Trump says he loves NYC. Does NYC love President Trump?
Mamdani: NYC loves a future that is affordable, and I can tell you that there were more NYCers who voted for President Trump because of that focus on cost of living.
Trump: I got a lot of votes.
