China’s first AI-generated theatrical film, ‘Sanxingdui: Future Past’, has bombed at their domestic box office, only making $121,000 USD against a budget of $1.5M USD. In contrast, the crudely animated ‘Niu Lai’ made nearly $10M USD against a budget of $200-500 USD.

The Real Ghostbusters Slimer glove puppet! A bit of homemade merch today. I love stuff like this & rescue iif I can as dealers often bin it. It is very well made, love the textured teeth and stuffed tongue. It saddens me that the original owner/maker didn’t want it but I’ll carry on its (after)life

Took the eldest to a cafe and she spent the entire time reworking the vampire mythos. Her new rules: 1. All vampires can control and ride dinosaurs 2. Their teeth are made of foam 3. They can only be defeated by forcing them to do a puppet show

While the election result in #Brazil is obviously good news, we should remember that countless American wannabe-fascists poured $billions into achieving the opposite result and now have nothing to show for it, so it's not just good news, but also objectively hilarious.

The Real Ghostbusters Slimer Coin Bank! Trust Slimer with your pennies. Why would he need to spend it on candy? He’s a ghost, he can just pass through walls to get it. It will be safe with Slimer, trusssst hiiimm… Glows in the dark though not really sure you want your money so visible to burglars

For the majority if governments, citizens are merely a tool, if they can’t use you as a prop or a punching bag, they’re not actually interested in whether you live or die 50,000 people die from extreme heat *shrug* A trans woman is using a public toilet “We must put a stop to this”
