LOS ANGELES— The Online LGBT community and its advocates continued to express outrage this week after 80-year-old actor John Lithgow declined to abandon his role as Dumbledore, prompting many to question why a man born in 1945 continues to behave like someone born in 1945.

I love Cowboy Bebop so watching #OnePiece stroll into its second season with style… stings. A lot.
Many think that One Piece is from people who respect the material, unlike the heathens who did Bebop. But here's the thing:
*It's actually by the same team using the same pipeline.* #Anime
1/2
It's bothered me to no end that #Onepiece works as live action, but Cowboy Bebop didn't. I just wrote an article about it. Check it out!
The One Piece Paradox: Why Some Anime Shouldn’t Become Faithful Adaptations www.kevinkane.net/p/the-one-pi...
HUGE ARTICLE!
I dig into the problem at the heart of AI-generated media: why studios, platforms, and Silicon Valley are desperate to price it like real art, and why audiences may never fully go along with that.
The problem isn’t quality. Its value.
Even when the slop gets good.

Vanessa Carlton walks a thousand miles.

The Proclaimers walk five hundred miles, then walk five hundred more.

God *creates life, the universe, smallpox, and slinkies in 6 days. On the 7th day he rests*
Christians: And day 7 was on a Sunday. Gotcha
Jews: Learn to count. It was clearly Saturday
Muslims: Why don't we just all do our God stuff on Friday and not ruin our whole weekend?

Some Ancient Greek Orator: "Hey, honey. If you had to f*ck a bird, what bird would it be?"
Wife: "I dunno. Swan, I guess."
Greek Orator: *scribbling down* "And Zeus appeared to Leda as a swole-ass swan and was like, 'Honk, Honk, Boo. What's poppin?'" #booksky #Theodyssey
Thanks! I directed the Narrator during the recording, and the end product? Holy crap.
It's so friggin hilarious that I hate that I wrote it because I can't say how funny it is without it sounding like I'm explaining how much I love the smell of my own farts.
#booksky: Another glowing #review for the Welcome to the Deep Estate #audiobook.
#NeilGaiman in a nutshell:
I’m telling you guys, America needs #Greenland *as a whole ass state* with two US senators who are really big fans of European socialism and a permanent grudge against Trump.
Anne Rice: More
Graphic designer: Ma'am, the title can't handle that much bevel.
Anne Rice: I SAID MORE!
‼️ATTENTION‼️Real men pee sitting down.
✅ you’re always facing the door in case of danger
✅ it keeps your hands free in case you need to fight
❌ standing & peeing means holding a PP which is gay
⚠️ if you must stand, have another man hold your PP to avoid the gay
THANK U FOR UR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

![And yet, here we are. The most hilarious story I've listened to this year, and I'm over 160 titles so far. If you've been born in the last 80 years, you'll pickup at least some of the 728* pop culture, science, and literary references dropped into this non-stop mind-twisting alternate universe adventure. With every sentence overflowing with wit and disbelievability but set in a whacked out place where anything can and will happen, our main character, John Doe, must navigate his first day on the job at a secret agency where co-workers and supervisors seem mostly unfazed by the existence of lizard people and alternate realities. The hijinks span every conceivable sci-fi and fantasy reference while the conspiracy theories start proving themselves true. John Doe is extremely relatable, creative, damaged by trauma, and determined to finish what he starts. Christopher Harbour brings him and the rest of the cast to life with wildly varied and interesting voices, and enough tension to cut with a katana. A joyous and wacky good time. [Disclosure: I received this title for free and listened at 2.0x.] *There are probably more, I lost count.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7qjxptiewoq254nblzc4yplw/bafkreifl5lyit4ufzfozat7eweorutu7fxv3joaayb4tmckgvsysvrk4ai)
