The loss of 22 episode seasons means we're losing out on the time honored tradition of "episode in which recurring character is suddenly turned evil via MacGuffin and now the actor gets to have fun"

lol spotted among SupergeekTyke’s toys - looks like we have a future Ed Sheeran fan!
okay so AI is absolutely cratering imminently and I need all of you to PROMISE me you won't take the high road, and will laugh and rub it in their faces as much as possible. I need you to laugh and go 'WE TOLD YOU SO, BITCH" at every opportunity, PLEASE be extremely mean and ruthless
Funny thing about American mass media is how woke content is broadly popular, routinely pays for itself, and sometimes goes blockbuster, whereas right-wing content is a narrow niche that rarely reaches breakeven, never goes blockbuster, and usually requires immense subsidies for it to exist at all.
I think about this exact thing all the time.
Ultimately, I think Titan A.E. wanted to be The Cool One. They both wanted to be Star Wars, but Treasure Planet wanted to be the kid-friendly fairy tale adventure, and Titan A.E. wanted to be the epic saga we all remembered watching when we were kids.
It is being reported on the ground in Cuba that everyone on a ventilator at this hospital died overnight.
As a Cuban, I'm devastated.
The goal of a movie trailer is to tell a story.
Dune 3’s trailer kind of doesn’t do that - there’s some nods to where we last left off, but mostly the story of the trailer is “Hey, you like Dune? We’re making more Dune.”
And they were right; turns out that IS all I needed to know. 10/10, no notes.
Oh my gosh. Considering all the news this week about the remake, this is just tragic. May he rest in peace. Xander forever 🫶🏽

"BLUESKY: IT'S ALL 38 YEAR OLDS" in the style of Dune

Well, SupergeekTyke today (hopefully) learned why we don't grab plants in other peoples' yards, when he reached out and palmed a cactus.
(Don't worry, it didn't have huge spines, just a bunch of really tiny little pokeys. He still got very upset 😢)
Damn, I briefly forgot that Spider-Man Twitter is full of the most miserable fucks on God’s green earth.
I'm nobody's editor but every story about the SAVE act should include the fact that it's a solution in search of a problem.
And of course, it basically goes without saying: no Joss is a good thing. I know the members of that cast have a lot of affection for him as a creator and a friend, so it’s a good thing they went to him and got his blessing, but it’s also good that he’s not professionally involved in this one.
Obviously, this could change, but I’m going off of the version of the show they’re describing in the announcement. If they wind up telling stories post-Serenity, that would be a harder sell, but if this version of the series works, and they want to keep the story going the movie… we’ll see.
And it’s best, this could be like The Clone Wars, and end up being a really unexpectedly beloved entry in the franchise.
And it’s worst, it can be one of a million tie-in cartoons that just never really gets considered canon.
But almost all of the actors have done quite a lot of voiceover work, which really helps solve that first problem.
And most importantly, Serenity is still the proper sendoff for these characters, that isn’t being touched.
I didn’t want to see them reprise their roles 21 years later, either pretending nothing interesting it happened to them for two decades, or they’ve had a bunch of adventures we’ve missed (maybe for a changing of the guard, but not just for a reboot).
And I didn’t want to see Adam Baldwin on-screen.
I didn’t need Firefly to continue - I stopped reading the comics when I realized they were no longer an epilogue but actually starting a new story.
But in the current media landscape, it was gonna come back in some form, and an animated in-between show is the version I have the most interest in.
I may be wrong, but it feels to me like reporters are giving Trump a lot more "Yeah, no, that's bullshit" responses now than they did just a few months ago.
hard to believe how many people across the entire world want one simple thing that just never seems to happen
Any answer other than “the president is a historically stupid man only now he has dementia” is journalistic malpractice
They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.
They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.

“Rescue mom?” I think you meant to say “Save Martha.”
2 new Pixar original films have been revealed:

If you can provide $3k checks for the entire middle class of America by taxing 900 people a little more, not only should you do it, but you should take it as a signal that your monetary system is broken
Hi, I have diagnosed c-PTSD and this is true and if you suck at tetris, any bright coloured fast game requiring rapid eye movement and decision making will do! it also helps if you witness something triggering and are trying to stave off an episode
someone transported here from 1995 with a layman's understanding of the Republican Party - "they like low taxes for the rich and aggressive use of the military" - would be more correct in their assessment of the party than many ostensibly savvy pundits working right now
Our AC system died, but that’s okay, at least it was 91°F in February, so I’m sure this summer will be fun.

Oh sick
A well-known and frequently used website actually put their foot down in a meaningful way. This actually made my day better
