I didn’t paint and attach thousands of individual popcorns to model trees just so you could tell me that AI is “inevitable”

Jim Henson didn’t muppeteer a tiny green frog that was singing and playing the banjo, with rubber gloves while totally submerged underwater in a airtight aluminum tank just so you could tell me that AI is “inevitable”.

This is odd! It's fine when people dislike things I like. It can be interesting to consider their reasons! I am not swayed against Nolan's Odyssey but I get her take, she had interesting things to say. It's all good, the world is enriched for the variety. Infinite diversity in infinite combinations.

Basically just that treating critical reviews of something you like as though it’s a personal attack has been the mode for as long as I remember

Such a horrible loss… my deepest condolences to her family and friends

We are deeply sad to learn that Godzilla vs. Kong and Godzilla x Kong actress Kaylee Hottle has passed away after a tragic car accident in Maryland. She was just 18 years old. Hottle played Jia in the MonsterVerse.

I need an Emoji EXCLUSIVELY for business-related posts that summarizes: "I do not want to "self-___" anything. I want to sell/get-hired and get paid. I am not a Millennial. I do not have or desire a hustle grindset. Every career or creative dream I do have ends in 'receive royalties forever'" 🤣

Please blow up the public comment (included below): BREAKING NEWS (7/15) — The administration wants to destroy Chaco Canyon without consulting Tribal Nations. It’s an irreplaceable historic & cultural site with 4,700 archeological sites that could be lost to the bulldozers of oil & gas development

Video games should not only be for rich people. I mean, NOTHING should only be for rich people, but especially not f---ing TOYS, man. I video games had always cost a $100 download over another $100+ yearly service subscription PLUS internet? I'd have never even SEEN one as a kid. F--- you Sony.

Millennial/GenZ animation fans (and animators!); by now you're sick to death of being told you've "GOT to watch!" this or that ancient Boomer cartoon - but take this example: Jay Ward's 'ROCKY & BULLWINKLE' *was* the real thing and applies NOW: They had no money, so the script+designs HAD to be good

Sucks that this 64 year old Rocky & Bullwinkle joke still hits now

RIP Sonny Rollins, a great jazz talent and the last surviving musician in one of the best photos of men in suits during the 20th century

Mel Brooks secretly funding Lynch and Cronenberg's æ 'brilliant but hard to sell' post-debut projects while not taking credit because he wanted audiences to take their work at face value w/o the distraction of "Mel Brooks means funny" is the purest thing that ever happened in the US movie industry

We gotta bring back the productive kind of national shame. Not the throwing up your hands and going “what can you do, we suck” kind but the “I’ll be GODDAMNED if I let the fucking FRENCH have better TRAINS” kind

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

Once again: trans rights was & is the pillar holding up the whole of the rest of liberal democracy & the battle to defend trans rights was & is nothing less than battle whose outcome determines the difference between a free, open & tolerant society & a fascist society

Jesspooka Kant 🎃@jessdkant.bsky.social

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

Jayce@jayceb.bsky.social

Your Godzilla top 5 should include at least one or two Showa picks OTHER than the original, a Heisei and/or Millennium that everyone in the room would look you like you had three heads for loving, and Shin. Them’s the brakes.
