“Copyright growing pains” is one hell of a euphemism for the biggest IP theft in history

Sad news everyone, I’m officially pulling the plug on Brightsiders, my super fan podcast for the 2017 movie Bright. I still feel like there were many interesting topics left to discuss but after 7 years of weekly episodes I’ve learned that no one has ever listened to the show.

"Hello, music industry? It's comics. We need to talk."

"...for the right price, top producers are willing to whitewash—sorry, do major deals with—a journalist-dismembering regime regularly accused of crimes against humanity." 🔥🔥🔥

Huh! Another weird massive outage of some critical national infrastructure! I guess this must be completely unrelated to the previous incidents.

(genuinely, as I may have missed it) has there any decent reporting on who might actually be behind all these totally unconnected cyber-attacks?

and let me guess, to attend the event people must buy an Actual Ticket with their Actual Money?

Some personal news: I am now a Marxist.

Lotta great lines in this piece, but my favourite has to be "America insists that you bear witness to it tripping on its dick and slamming its face into an uncountable row of scalding hot pies."

Always seems to be the same 2-3 people as well

Obligatory note that Eastenders is produced in Hertfordshire (Borehamwood).

(great thread btw)

What an incredible experience, getting to perform at the Riyadh Comedy Festival. I left feeling grateful and humbled by his majesty's generosity. I'll never forget this memorial experience and all the fun we had. Hope to do it again soon.

upon further reflection, there is a small part of me that feels I sent the wrong message, regarding the Riyahd Comedy Festival last night. While, I do think it's important for comedy to have the opportunity to thrive in all parts of the globe, there are some aspects of The Royal Highness, King Salmon and his leadership in the region that i don't agree with entirely, but it's a different culture when it comes to freedom and rights and I gotta respect that we are all different and have different values. My manager is now investigating the possibility of donating some of my fee to a charity for Vetrans of War.

Perfect posting from Tim Heidecker, 24 hours apart.

Let's just say that I have lived my life in such a way that it would be impossible to notice if I began having a mid-life crisis.

"not enough racism"

This episode of a popular Australian children's cartoon about a family of dogs features Rose Bryne in a guest role and it's actually about infertility and now your parents are crying

19TH CENTURY ENGLISH PROVERB: may you live in interesting times
ME, IN 2025: first of all, fuck you

🤞 I'd love to see other filmmakers given the same freedom he's been allowed, even if that means sometimes they'll swing and miss

Which is a shame, 'cause its success suggests people really want to see more shows like it!

ah, never mind, as you were (I never had the Latin, you see)

except, y'know, we don't

This reads to me very much like the tale of somebody who once said PRIMM-er by mistake in front of people and got the piss absolutely ripped out of them, and who after many many years of hard work and perseverance finally achieved control of the Merriam-Webster social media accounts

Welp, here it is: maybe the funniest thing we've ever done, in its entirety.

Guillermo Del Toro is 61.
Here he is on the Weinsteins:

Bluesky:

The cast of TV sitcom Cheers, Cliff, Coach, Carla, Sam, Diane and Norm, but they're all been quickly faceswapped with Cher's face. The title above reads 'Chers'.

Experiment successful.

Me: Is there something I could do differently to improve my sleep?

Doctor: I recommend not looking at your phone for at least an hour before bed.

Me: So nothing then.

He's decent in DBC (although he probably got the Oscar for TROPIC THUNDER-adjacent reasons more than anything else)! He's kinda terrible in almost everything else!
