I'm editing and finding that I'm rooting through the text and snipping or altering lines that make one of my characters sound at all sophisticated. I call this process "The Dumbening".

The reason the Right are so invested in the myth that the arts have no value isn’t because the arts don’t generate wealth (they do); it’s that studying the arts teaches people to imagine better ways of judging the value of an idea than by counting how much money it makes…

Yeah, I'm honestly surprised I don't see the whole Who's Line cast on there. Nothing against them but they don't really have much nowadays in terms of paying gigs.

Ok, let's be very real here, Jimmy Carr and Jack Whitehall are not "top comedians". Never have they ever been considered high up in any category. 😂

My next book is called LITTLE HEIGHT LIES. It follows a down-on-their-luck couple who have to reunite when a giant monster attacks their small town. Rosie is a wheelchair-bound conspiracy blogger and her husband, Aiden, is a himbo gym rat. They live in the fictional hilltop town of New Valencia.

If any game needs a remake, it's this one. Modernize the satire. Make it about a group of affluent white teens fighting for their right to use "finna" in sentences.

Call it "Sims could be Wildin'™️"

Lin Manuel Miranda could do the soundtrack.

This is, of course, not hate to OP. I love that too. But only one of these titles directly addresses something as relevant as the problematic rise of anti-immigration sentiment going on worldwide.

Ururaka addresses a crowd hostile to what they perceive to be "a dangerous outsider".

Conversely, no right-wingers confuse My Hero Academia's politics with their own. Because My Hero Academia is a story that tells you its politics and addresses the modern culture war discourse with a heavy hand. I love it for this reason. The author, Kohei Horikoshi, doesn't allow fascism to breathe.

Give Fat Ralph the Man Booker Prize. 😂

News tweet saying that "Elon Musk has announced that his xAI game studio will release an AI-generated game before the end of 2026"

and Fat Ralph replies with "Ass has announced that hole will release a shit before the end of 2026".

Never forget that everything right-wingers love hates them.

Almost every single book, painting, song, film, play, comic, tv show and film in existence was made to refute their violating beliefs.

They watch One Piece; an adaptation of a leftist buddhist myth and believe it's for them. It's sad.

Thank you for the lovely response, and I'm glad things worked out. This stuff is new to me so I'm working out the kinks of it all but I really appreciate the reassuring words. Thank you. 🙏

Did my first video podcast after nearly 2 years.

I got sick a while back. That stopped me doing on-camera things. I'm ok now but I have yet to shake off the physical effects of that sickness because I look like shit. 😂

Used all my life savings to survive 2yrs while I animate 14-18hrs/day, 7days/wk, for the duration of production. Completed the film with the help of @kickstarter.com and began the film festival circuit; Annecy, Pixelatl, Ottawa, Sitges, Heartland, Filmquest. Currently figuring out a public release!
