Eric Bauza dying is just like Mel Blanc dying for the same base reason; all the characters shouldn’t have one voice actor. The entire voice industry could easily die out just because Hollywood is too cheap to encourage and hire more people. Especially now with AI.

“Empathetic, creative, and an animal lover” is so vague that even other AI’s can’t think of people with that description. They can only come up with general personality types.

Smoking. 30% of the population smoked in the 90’s. Less than 10% does now. And if they do, heavy smoking is heavily stigmatized. Smokers are pushed to e-cigs and vaping, helps with clean air.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

This is why modern society has fallen in love with the extended universe concept - sequels, prequels, spinoffs, etc. Because if there’s something you like, than ultimately you don’t hate it. People enjoy the world they’ve created.

Hollywood Arts is so much better than Victorious. It’s basically the same show without Dan and his sadistic dark humor. It’s an actual positive show about a Megward the Wizard. Daniella looks 18 still.

You people are using FACTS about the Vivek Ramaswamy-Amy Acton ad. You can’t use facts and information. You have to watch it ignoring the info entirely and run on just the commercial words and emotion. Would that alone upset and connect to people? They aren’t going to research if she’s telling truth

This post offends me and I’m not even black

Martin Luther King was much more successful than Malcolm X for example. Before that, there was no need for a bloody civil war in most countries that abolished slavery. Just votes. Independence can also be bloodless. Gandhi in India, Walesa in Poland, Mandela in South Africa. The list is long.

You want to hear some ironic shit? Popular Bollywood actor Imran Khan attended some anti-corruption protests in India and now they wanna deport him back to America because he was born here.

Trump posting a tiger execution vid seems to contradict the news that he and JD Vance hate the negative publicity Hegseth is getting with public execution idea.

I’m glad this happened, I used to get so many ads for this one on other apps!

Don’t embarrass yourselves. If you enjoy everything you post, from your art, words, face, and name being owned by Ai, to only being able to sue X in one place in Texas, to them being able to terminate your account, cap your tweets, and collect your locations, you’re free to rejoin Twitter.

I don’t even think Gavin Newsom is running for president at this point. He must have a couple bad skeletons in the closet he remembered to go back to being a normal crappy politician.

Navi Pillay is 100% Indian. She is not a black woman. She is not a white woman. Just like Mamdani. Just because they come from Africa does not make them black. They are Indian.

This comparison of now to the French Revolution is getting really really close now. Y’all in DC think public executions are fun right now.

Do you think Trump is always on the list for the Nobel Peace Prize? Because they keep the list secret, he might be on that list until he dies.

Once again, I'd like to say there is no public record of Aaron Rodgers ever getting married, no visual or legal proof that his wife exists, and no public figure who claims to have met his wife.

Debra Messing is another person who would be a Trump supporter if he could run again after years of “protesting him” just because she wants to watch Palestinians die . Some people have no morales.

I’m so over this trope I think less of you as a HUMAN if you use it

There are 3 questions an author must address for each character in order to make the fake dating plot work: Why is this happening/why is a fake relationship the only option? Why this person and not some other person? What happens if it all goes south? fatedmates.net/episodes/202...

Not with fucking Hakeem Jeffries, but we can dream

JENNINGS: Let's say Democrats take the House. How sure are you that they would immediately move to impeach President Trump? MIKE JOHNSON: It's guaranteed. Probably on the first day.

Every day Trump pats himself on his overweight spine that is crying under all that fat, pleased he was able to accomplish a thing that day: come up with a politically incorrect nickname that will surely make the dumbocrats lose. Remember, there’s a B in dumbocrat.

Trump: "Annie 'Trannie' Andrews is running against our wonderful Darline Graham for the Senate in South Carolina ... Trannie is not for South Carolina, and South Carolina must show, in the upcoming Election, that it is not for her."

Dennis Hastert, the longest-serving Republican Speaker in history, has died at 84. Hastert admitted in federal court to sexually abusing boys he coached as a high school wrestling coach. A federal judge called him a "serial child molester." He was a registered sex offender.

Sméagol murdering his cousin. It wasn’t the first scary thing, but it was the first scene that gave me nightmares. I was like 6 also.
