Hey folks, as you may know, we lost everything this week when the #EatonFire destroyed our #Altadena home.

An expression of corporate ideology is how they keep remaking the literally perfect Chuck Jones version of THE GRINCH THAT STOLE CHRISTMAS to "update" and "modernize" it instead of trying to make any new children's entertainment in the same style as the extremely successful original.

90% of Christmas movies are written by ChatGPT and you can't convince me otherwise.

I think maybe folks are ready for a Batman game where Bruce Wayne is forced to reckon with the inherent evils of being a billionaire.

I'm not exaggerating: as a historian I consider it to be historical fact that this is one of the most shameful documents in the history of the United States.

It's a concession by federal law enforcement that there's no means available to it to punish one of the biggest traitors in American history.

Chinese state media is reportedly troubled by the latest exodus of X users flocking to Bluesky. State outlets, which put considerable resources into amassing millions of followers on Elon Musk’s social media platform — including by buying ads, deploying bots, and hiring influencers — have recently seen their growth plateau. The growing popularity of Bluesky, which has a largely liberal base and harder-to-manipulate algorithm, has sparked “worried chatter within Chinese state media circles,” a former Xinhua and China Daily employee wrote in his newsletter. He predicted the accounts will migrate to Bluesky, though it may take time. For now, the sector’s focus has shifted back to domestic, Mandarin-language channels and platforms like Bilibili, WeChat, and Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok.

lol China's state media is sad about Bluesky because it's not an easy propaganda distribution channel like X (and Facebook)

Pretty crazy someone can be charged federally with interfering in an election and those charges get dropped because they win an election.

The Blockbuster Games Bubble Has Burst - IGN The AAA games industry bubble has burst, and a smaller-scale, more creative approach may be the only way for it to survive.

Definitely weird after having been a AAA Doomsayer for years to see, well, this? www.ign.com/articles/the...

Like all the signs were there, but even I couldn't quite imagine how that much of the industry would snap off and cave in, but. Oh. Apparently like this! This is how that looks.

When we were children, we were taught that no matter how you reached, no matter much wealth and power you accumulated, you were not above the law.

We can no longer teach our children that.

And that's really fucking tragic.

I think it speaks volumes that right wingers criticize bluesky for being “liberal” and “left wing”, when it’s really just that hate speech isn’t allowed.

Now that’s a bribe.

This seems like a MUCH nicer place, so far!
