interesting that when a movie with female protagonists does poorly the response is to cancel upcoming projects with female protagonists and when a movie with female protagonists is a huge hit the response is to cancel upcoming projects with female protagonists

Yeah. They’re not being given full time jobs and scrambling to assemble a piecemeal living is their only option

Extremely annoyed at the amount of AI pics of the astronauts landing when we have actual real cool pictures of it that we should be sharing

I think it's telling that even though most Americans loathe tech oligopolies and their air-conditioned warehouses full of computers, almost every energy pundit with a big platform takes it as understood that adding entire cities' worth of electricity demand from data centers is Good and Inevitable.

So a few things about this:

1. The "dubbing" company, TransPerfect Media, is an AI translation media firm. So its nearly 100% confirmed the script was AI translation and localized, with likely little to no oversight.
2. This company and the director/actors are all based in South Africa. This means+

Female octopuses intentionally throw debris at harassing males YouTube video by New Scientist

Here's a REAL video of a female octopus throwing things at a male.
Not trash-ass AI

"Little boys cant see themselves in it" back right the heck off with that crap, Ive been textbook cis white boy since birth and I was at the TV every day for cardcaptors and sailor moon. Mulan was my favorite Disney film, who are these myopic ghouls gatekeeping fun AND profit like a denial fetish 🙄

This doesnt make sense even from a clinical profit driven angle!

Frozen was a JUGGERNAUT and "girl power" all the way through! Tangled caused a second Renaissance!

It's been known for DECADES that adolescent kids of ALL genders like looking at pretty girls kicking butt! It's a universal constant!

A notebook on a wooden tray with the cover text: "HOPE DOESN'T FIND US. WE MAKE HOPE THROUGH ACTION & STRUGGLE.

@blackbirdletterpress.com and I have partnered again on a notebook. 50% of proceeds will go to the Chicago Freedom School. I think that the notebook turned out beautifully. Limited number of copies available. www.blackbirdletterpress.com/limited-edit...

This infuriating attitude shows up on the bookshelves in learning environments, too. We expect girls to empathize with boys, but we kneecap every opportunity to let boys empathize with girls. And look where we are.

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

Add to this environmental pollution, online misinformation, and denying children a proper education.

Remember: No fedposting, gang. Happy Friday!

This is so horrifying on so many levels. Again, please call your members of congress and beyond - The states should fight this hard too. The impact is ... difficult to comprehend.

The USPS can't "run out of money," the sole question is the people in charge of the federal government believe delivering mail is worth funding the same way they already fund armed kidnapping gangs, concentration camps, and blowing up girls' schools.

I hate when fantasy films I made a long time ago begin to come true in real life.

Psst, hey kid, wanna see some good news?

Always worry when they say “common sense”. This is what “energy dominance” looks like. Corporations get flexibility. Communities get poisoned water.

I miss when being backlit during golden hour meant "cosy and professional", rather than "Lazy AI distraction from the fact that Jesus apparently coated his face in Lacquer"

How to fold the Confederate Battle Flag

The pressure campaign is working. The USDA Forest Service just spoke out, attempting to explain what they’re calling “fact vs. fiction.” Don’t trust this administration, all they do is lie. They know they’re losing businesses are pulling away, and everyone is speaking out.

A tweet from Insider Paper quotes Spain’s Prime Minister saying the country will not applaud those who “set the world on fire just because they turn up with a bucket,” referring to a ceasefire.

Beautifully put.

We noticed that calling Congress wasn’t moving the needle, so we shifted tactics and started pressuring businesses directly. Those businesses are now posting publicly and lobbying Congress and that happened because of you. Your voice is stronger than you think. Thank you.

If you go to Facebook you can comment on the U.S. Forest Service’s recent post. They’re calling out our movement because major businesses are now speaking up and that’s got them rattled. They’re spreading lies to sell you on their demolition of the Forest Service. Don’t buy it.

Turns out, Iran is surprisingly good at trolling the Orange Atrocity.

A tweet by Ken Martin claims Trump is using taxpayer money to fund a monument to himself. Below is a post reporting that $15 million from the National Endowment for the Humanities would be used to finance an arch. The image shows Trump at a podium next to a rendering of a large, ornate arch monument.

Talk about an arch villain!
