It's a WSJ article, so the audience is literally just shareholders with Twitter brainrot who think "We don't go to as many movies because our kids ask questions about the two dads!" is a real thing that happens. He's performing for his bosses, unfortunately.

This is the stupidest possible "Please don't yell at me" quote he could give and it's going to haunt him for decades now because this grief moment of retreat has already started to turn around and the whiplash is going to bury people who didn't hold the line. Nobody ever learns.

"Just after starting on Cars 2, I was told by a superior that I would be uninvited from all weekly art department meetings because Lasseter 'has a hard time controlling himself' around young women... It was clear that the institution was working hard to protect him, at the expense of women like me."

idk I’ve seen a bajillion kids movies where the kids parents die & let me tell you, having a convo with my kid about how anyone can die at any time & it doesn’t matter if they’re someone’s mom or dad is way harder than having a convo about how sometimes someone has two dads or whatever. And yet

Look, I'm as longtime annoyed by "casting celebrities instead of voiceactors" as everyone else correctly is; but "The handsome intense guy from 'The Bear' as Adult Baby Jabba, who is now a Buff Hutt cagefighter" is obviously purposeful joke casting. C'mon now πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Fun thing to think about very briefly: who currently has better lawyers, the United States or Nintendo

AOC: β€œThat’s one reason he must be removed from office - if the Epstein files have such a hold on Trump & this admin that they are willing to plunge us & risk world war in order to save themselves politically - that is the definition of someone who cant make objective decisions for the American ppl”

Gosh if only someone had loudly warned about how an entire popular "left" influencer scene was a pipeline to the far right.

I'm sure if that person had existed she definitely would not have faced a year of misogynistic harassment and ridicule from much of the rest of the online left.

My bet is that we're speedrunning to Parallax and the "Hal doesn't talk to the other GL's" business in the trailer is actually "Hal isn't being totally honest about why he's not in the group chat anymore and this is part of the mystery/storyline"

What I find most compelling about "LANTERNS" conceptually is that it feels very much to be continuing the (so far) consistent DCU approach of being 'in media res' - "Green Lantern has been a thing on TV and in movies since the 70s, you probly know SOME of this so here's a new take already in motion"

One reason I’m uninterested in the Platner thing is that I just watched thousands of school moms and nerdy dudes and queer people show unbreakable resolve in standing up to armed federal agents in relentless, terrifying confrontations, and thus don’t worry that my dorky affect precludes toughness

I'm that one guy from the "BATMAN" cartoon that saw Batman going through his boss' room and was like "Oh. That's The Batman. I'm just going to go do something else. Because that's The Batman."

Frankly, we've seen enough: it's time to fire all the cowards who toadied to Trump and disgraced their institutions in the process. CEOs, lawyers, university presidents. Clear them all out, replace them with people who stood firm. Remake our society with leaders who have principles and courage.

It seems nonsensical until you realize that they are no longer interested in maintaining a faΓ§ade that they care about tradition. They don't like how things are and they'd rather they be some other way. Nothing has to cohere; it just has to reject the purported status quo. They're proud to be wrong.

This is flat out one of the most bizarre and disheartening situations I've seen in modern games.

Initial questions about marketing aside, not even lasting three months before a total shut down is such a clear indictment of the current state of our industry.

Dire stuff!

(Obvious observation that, yes, chasing the live-service dragon is one of MANY problems in the games business making everything worse and that this project was probably always going to be living on borrowed time. That's on upper management and investors/shareholders, NOT on the devs.)

Give a shit about the game or don't, this is a heartbreaking turn for folks who (far as we know) earnestly just wanted to make a cool game. No one should lose their jobs over a video game.

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim β€œadult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer.

In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)
