When we announced a price increase earlier this year (for new and returning subscribers ONLY), we saw something strange happen - many people were ASKING us t... Dropout Is Going To Charge You More (if you want)

the extent to which media elites treat liberal americans as if they do not count in the body politic is a real problem

I have been to two No Kings protests and they are filled with normies and people with funny signs and families and they are just the most wholesome protests imaginable

that's all people are going to see, man - their friends and neighbors out there saying we don't want this

A screenshot from an LA Times article quoting Sam Reich saying: "“I love that internet, and that almost feels like a weirdly controversial statement to make at this point in time,” Reich says. “I feel like there’s lots of very appropriate conversation about the way social media has toxified us but I still love the internet as a place where weird can thrive. … And I think that my, and some of our other creatives’, sheer enthusiasm for that continues to dictate some of the direction for Dropout.” Followed by a picture of Sam Reich holding a cardboard cutout of himself, walking and smiling.

a chat with the @latimes. stay weird, internet.

Dropout is the part-internet, part-studio streaming service that built its own comedy ecosystem After a nimble rebrand, the thriving streaming service Dropout is doubling down on its focus on comedy, expanding into live shows and scripted programming.

It is to the shame of all the male reporters in the room that they do not immediately leave

Should have been Woody Allen.

Rly enjoying every single even semi-serious journalist absolutely coming for Bari Weiss today. Nothing but disrespect for that person

lol this entire era of politics has proven to me that rules are indeed fake

One of my professional high points was not only making sure this happened, but making sure the end result was something fans would really want. And also be something they could hardly believe they would ever get.

Really happy how Digimon the Movies came out.

No Good Art Comes From Greed | Defector The packages arrived square and thin and carefully wrapped on Saturday afternoon. There were three of them, but only one was mine. If I could have rejected my package, sent it back from whence it…

i supervise counselors and supervisors of counselors and we hear how bad it is. people are polite and not expressing, and then in therapy sessions there is a lot of dumping.

practice self care. do little news fasts. eat. sleep. exercise. watch your mind and learn containment and visualization

Dropout launched on September 26th, 2018, which makes today our 7th anniversary 🥳

And to celebrate, we decided to take it easy and string together a bunch of Tiktok videos fans have made over the years

The Pokémon Company: "Permission Was Not Granted" for Use of Theme in ICE Arrests Video The Pokémon Company has confirmed it didn't grant permission for an ICE arrests video set to the Pokémon anime theme song.

"Fans have urged The Pokémon Company to sue the US government for using the theme song. However, the company’s former chief legal officer told IGN that a lawsuit is highly unlikely because the company is “INSANELY publicity-shy” and “many of their execs in the USA are on green cards.”"

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.

Autistic and neurodivergent people deserve far better than a government looking to prevent their existence, let alone one that will invent fictitious ways to do so that puts everyone in danger

I would always rather be us than them, every fucking day, no matter how angry or scared I get

trading our humanity for the feeble hope that proximity to power will protect us is not fucking worth it

we all die as we live and their picture of what "success" looks like is truly so fucking bleak

With American Comedy Under Attack, It's Time To Discover The Funniest Show You Haven't Seen - SlashFilm In an era where American comedy is under attack, this improv show won't be censored (unless host Sam Reich goes on a comedic power trip).

Need a new streaming service for all of that boycott money? How about investing in @dropout.tv, a progressive comedy platform that doesn't bend the knee to fascism!

Not sold? Check out the trailer for @makesomenoiseshow.bsky.social season 4!

Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, now might also be a good time to support writers and artists. Times are extremely tough for creatives, so why not buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for a Patreon, tip your favorite creators. Everything helps.

Call your senators about this.

No, Schiff and Padilla were never going to sign this resolution, but seven senators is more than I would’ve expected a year ago and that means pressure works.

So call your senators, because it takes 3 minutes total and it’s more effective than posting about it.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

Naked authoritarian fascism. Love and support to the entire team at @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social, who *will* come out the other side of this horrendous abuse of power. Disgusted to see ABC caving to this glaringly illegal and unconstitutional threat from Brendan Carr.

Also - I can't believe we let the worst comedians on the planet spend *years* defining Freedom of Speech as a moral obligation to laugh at their bad jokes, and not as a protection against government censorship. You've been crying wolf for a while now gang, and a real wolf just got here! SPEAK UP!

Also worth remembering, as we talk about Free Speech, that the first speakers the current administration targeted were those demanding the freedom and safety of the Palestinian people.
