Do you want to be a [[BIG SHOT!!!]]

This may be a far-out take; but I feel once you’ve been paid a quarter-to-half $Mil by the Saudi Arabian government to tell a few “jokes” you’ve officially lost any right to claim you’re a downtrodden underdog.

Oh, and Supergirl?

Yes, I read Woman of Tomorrow as it was being rolled out and it’s one of my favorite ever SG stories.

Had me worried for a second.

So. One of the things I miss about Twitter is how easy it made it to tap into the comics market. I’m also trying to make it a point not to talk about any kind of creative projects unrelated to either myself or folks I know. But like…

Stephanie Brown (Batgirl/Spoiler) up to anything cool these days?

I hadn’t even seen this but, yep. Spiraling out over 10+ yr old jokes. Claiming they’ll be cancelled over material that was only edgy 20 years ago. So stale.

a cartoon character is standing in front of a sign that says " blockbuster " Alt: South Park cartoon character Randy Marsh standing in the parking lot of a storefront that belongs to the equally relevant and very on the pulse "Blockbuster Video."

‘Member when South Park updated so all the mountain townfolk became a bunch of weed-passionate, Whole Foods-brained zombies? Same vibe.

Have Free Speech “Comedians”
considered maybe part of the reason we’re so over their shit is because the jokes are corny and outdated? I don’t know a single black person who still drinks grape soda and listens to trap. Call us a bunch of DBZ-One Piece obsessed Vegans and you may have something.

For everyone who was worried about the American Civil War Part 2 after that high profile shooting a couple weeks back…

I just need yall to know the same folks who threatened to “unleash the beast” are too busy melting down over half-decade old Netflix cartoons portraying queer characters.

My capitalist nightmare safe space was shopping malls. Wasting all your money on pointless shit is all fun and games so long as it feels like an amusement park! Now they’re just depressing ruins to remind us we built literal shrines to excess.

USA’s Film industry decline is due to:

1. Studio greed destroying paths to nurture talent and ideas.

2. Rising media like video games and verticals.

3. Nations investing in homegrown film endeavors.

Note the lack of Newsom. Tariffs over tax incentives will only hasten Hollywood’s heat death.

Black cats do be like that.

… Also is it strange two of my favorite ensemble leads in all of fiction are so self-destructive? What the heck does that say about me and my own behavior? Ah well, I’m sure it’s nothing. Btw fuck you person reading this 🖕🏾

A picture of a young woman with white hair in a ponytail standing confidently wearing tighty whitey tights… Sorry? Did I say “young woman?” I meant Kiana Kaslana, K-423, Sirin, Herrscher of the Void, Flamescion, the Finality, absolute badass, your big sister, best character in all of mobile gaming, ONLY Savior of the Multiverse and believe me when I say no one else has ever made self sabotage look so stunning.

A picture of a young woman with black hair in a ponytail standing confidently wearing tighty black and ruddy tights… Sorry? Did I say “young woman?” I meant Beckett Mariner, Starfleet, Lieutenant Junior Grade, First Officer of the Cerritos, absolute badass, your big sister, best character in all of Paramount Star Trek, ONLY Savior of the Multiverse and believe me when I say no one else has ever made self sabotage look so stunning.

It’s always weird to reflect on how I only learned about “Bubble Universe Theory” due to these two.

Two of the most reprehensible acts ever! (The massacre and the medal.)

Wino von Blomberg enshrining the cowards at Wounded Knee as “brave men” churns my damn stomach.

“We will never forget what they did” ~ That being the slaughter of hundreds, including murdering fleeing Lakota women and children in cold blood.

100%

Also the “liberal” American news media constantly renews my disgust at them. They’re only introducing Assata as “former BLA,” not “former BPP.” I, natch, have complex personal feelings on both, but one has the far more negative public perception and news media gatekeepers are well aware of it.

Rest in Power. I never knew Assata Shakur personally, only through stories, but I looked forward to meeting her in that brief window of time Americans had access to Cuba. I know the ‘rents and dad’s siblings must be particularly affected.

No one rush to resub Disney+, Hulu or ESPN because Kimmel is airing again tomorrow night. The pressure needs to stay on, at most this feels like a move to stop hemorrhaging, so now isn’t the time to give them a transfusion. It’s a longer game.

Also:

They don’t mention it but I’d love to see how many sub packages were hit.

We still gotta see if the show’s production and Jimmy capitulated to Dear Leader.

Jimmy Kimmel updates: Show to return air after suspension over Charlie Kirk comments The late-night talk programme will resume on Tuesday following

Well. I’d say we won the battle in the war but it’s more like we sorta kinda won the shoving match in the war.

I had a lot of fun being a guest on this episode with @jeremywhitley.bsky.social and @benkahncomics.bsky.social. Also I know way, way more about Final Destination than any one person reasonably should.

Baddie Granny.

Tl;dr. They’re playing the same shit game Nexstar is playing. Greasing palms and licking boots to pour more nickels into their giant vaults of Scrooge McDuck money, and wiping their ass with the free market and free speech while doing it.

Fubo Sees Disney, Hulu + Live TV Deal Closing Earlier Than Anticipated Fubo accelerated the expected timeline for closing its sale to Disney, now anticipating the transaction will close late this year or early next.

Sports broadcasting is a bit outside my realm, so I hadn’t paid much attention to the fact Disney has been “quietly” moving to acquire Fubo. Between Hulu and ESPN this would consolidate a LOT of sports streaming under Disney, requiring regulatory review from Trump’s DOJ deadline.com/2025/07/fubo...

Sinclair Broadcast Group has been a cause of concern for awhile. I don’t feel they get enough credit for where we’re at as a country today, not the way X, Turning Point USA or the Daily Wire do.

Sinclair Broadcast Group’s rapid acquisition of affiliates was the smoke. This is the fire.

My Disney+ is gone. Goes without saying.

The Disney ABC Group can keep their precious broadcast contracts, that doesn’t mean they should get to remain in American homes.

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

FCC’s limited ability to punish the Jimmy Kimmel show themselves, paired with the massive gains Nexstar is looking at, et. means none of this was forced, exactly.

It means these moves were VOLUNTARY.

Which is much worse imo. The perfect unholy union of political fascism and late stage capitalism.
