You know, maybe it's going to be a good thing when all the data centers are burning and we have to rebuild the internet from the ground up.

I feel like that show hit the jackpot with actors who are Just Decent Human Beings (tm). Like a prerequisite for being The Doctor is JUST GETTING IT.

If I'm wrong on that, please let me know.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

If I had the time and energy, I would make a cut of Blade Runner 2049 with 90% of his scenes cut, so I could enjoy that movie a little more.

There’s no excuse to keep hiring this absolute scumbag.

As someone who is a hobbyist archivist I cannot recommend enough making your own physical copies of any queer and trans media that is important to you sooner rather than later.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.
