Coop and Lucas discuss Amazon's surprise rollout of AI dubs and its fallout.

The White House has (1) endorsed Arianism and (2) confused the Feast of the Immaculate Conception with the Feast of the Annunciation. Not sure which is worse.

[Review] Our heroes hug each other as they lament their failure and all we can do is make strides to create a future where such a tragedy never happens again.

The President of the United States unilaterally levied a tax on all of us and is redistributing our taxes to a core segment of his supporters.

[Review] I never thought that I would use the word "wholesome" to describe an adult BDSM story, but here we are!

Ordered a tablet, due to arrive today, now 'damaged in transit' and unclear what I need to do next. Sigh.

Honestly, "Captain Spaulding sits in the cuck chair and disparages your bedroom performance while quoting Eugene O'Neill" is an AO3 fic I would read.

When I said “there are worse things than Netflix buying Warner Bros., Paramount is exactly what I meant.

Aries: Due to a total disregard for lab procedure and a lack of eye-washing stations you will be blinded by science.

365 Days of Tunes - 342/365: In Tex Avery’s OF FOX AND HOUNDS (’40), Willoughby the dog (voiced by Avery himself) tries to catch a wily fox, to no avail. Thus began Tex’s fixation with Lon Chaney Jr.’s portrayal of Lennie in the 1939 film adaptation of John Steinbeck’s OF MICE AND MEN.

Gonna tell my grands kids this was Florence and the machine

"Starting Jan. 1, in six states selected to take part in a federal pilot program, traditional Medicare recipients will face a new hurdle to get certain procedures covered -- private AI companies that get paid based on how many claims they deny..." www.kuow.org/stories/thou...

The Supreme Court just set aside a 2nd Circuit decision upholding New York's requirement that all school students, public and private, obtain certain vaccinations, without any religious exemptions. It orders the 2nd Circuit to reconsider the ruling in light of SCOTUS' LGBTQ school books decision.

The Supreme Court asks Trump's Justice Department to weigh in on a pending challenge to New York's COVID vaccine mandate for health care workers, which lacks any exception for religious objections. Suggests that some justices are looking at this one closely. www.scotusblog.com/cases/case-f...

Tomomichi Nishimura, the voice actor behind Slam Dunk's Coach Anzai and Street Fighter's M. Bison and Akuma, has died:

A large earthquake, currently measured at magnitude 7.2, has just hit off Aomori Prefecture. A tsunami advisory is in effect for southern Hokkaido and northeastern Tohoku. The earthquake was strong enough to be faintly perceived all the way in Tokyo.

This is just how we do mergers now. "Paramount executives also plan to argue their deal will have a much shorter regulatory approval process given the company’s smaller size and friendly relationship with the Trump administration." www.cnbc.com/2025/12/08/p...

Top 3 things that terrified me about Tom and Jerry as a kid: 1) Tom getting hit by the piano and dying in Heavenly Puss. 2) "DON'T YOU BELIEVE IT!" in both Mouse Trouble and The Missing Mouse. 3) Tom's execution by guillotine in The Two Mouseketeers. (Strangely, Blue Cat Blues didn't affect me.)

"The Texans defense is Super Bowl caliber. CJ Stroud runs hot and cold but delivers some pinpoint strikes at critical moments when given 0.05 seconds to throw. I wouldn’t wish the Texans line on a serial killer." miketanier.substack.com/p/wicked-for...

Every time I see someone give the old "NA anime fandom didn't *NEED* Robotech because [specious reasoning]", I'm reminded as to why I'm writing a copiously-researched history book This shit needs to die, here and now, because it's LITERALLY the same garbage logic I've been hearing since I was eight

Glad to see people talking about Penn Jillette. The 2024 interview was done by me. I found him to be a refreshingly reflective, self-critical individual who has remained curious and willing to evolve.

In our latest episode, we are joined by an old friend of the podcast, Tyler Adams of @goonpod.bsky.social, to talk about Blackadder: Back & Forth, which was described by its main star as the most expensive and least satisfying half-hour in the canon. open.spotify.com/episode/6qGO...

365 Days of Tunes - 341/365: Chuck Jones’s SNIFFLES AND THE BOOKWORM (’39) was another in a series of “books come to life” pictures the studio produced, with the tune “Mutiny in the Nursery” as a musical centerpiece.

I don't call in sick after bad football games just to avoid discussing it with co-workers. But god, am I tempted.

The College Football Playoff field just unveiled on ESPN.

[Review] This is an episode of May I Ask for One Final Thing? where "business as usual" left me feeling unsatisfied.

It is a shame that Heavenly Puss looks pretty crappy, but I am amused that the one cartoon on the set that's far too dark in coloring is the one where Tom dies and goes to Hell.

Part I of an enormous post on Doctor Who and the Planet of the Daleks by Terrance Dicks, this one about why it *doesn’t* dovetail with Doctor Who and the Space War by Terrance’s pal Mac Hulke: 0tralala.blogspot.com/2025/12/doct... #booksky #books #doctorwho
