I used to work for Casten back in 2022. Even back then, when he came to visit us, he was openly badmouthing the Senate as an overall institution. That negativity was notable because otherwise, he came off as a kind-hearted individual who thought that most people could be persuaded into good.

To be honest I was guilty of this before reading some of his Reddit posts. In the back of my head, I had the nervousness that he wasn't giving the best vibes but I swallowed it because it seemed like he was drawing crowds and looked like there was a good chance he would beat Collins. I was wrong.

People liked Platner because he's a white guy with a particular affect who said things they wanted to hear and maybe we should demand a bit more from our pols.

For what this post is expressing, I think she is expressing this: She feels that Platner should've kept the tattoo covered up at bare minimum, the campaign made a monumental mistake by releasing the image showing off the tattoo, and those who want Collins out should stop in-fighting.

For someone born in the turn of the millennium I never got into any of the kidcoms or really any kid-appropriate live action TV content except for Power Rangers, Sentai, and a tiny bit of Kamen Rider. I was much more an animation kid when it came to TV.

You’re giving too much credit to the first gen fascists. They were unlikable morons who tried to shove a fairy tale that they were all “totally big strong sexy Germans” down our throats while cosplaying as “badasses.” They’re just as mockable as this shit today. Fascism is for the whiny and weak.

Tex Avery, when negotiating a contract with Walter Lantz Productions in 1953, reads the fine print better about the share of the profits he would get and is able to negotiate a better deal. Therefore, there is no quick falling out between Lantz and Avery. 1/4

If you're a Pibby fan, good chance you've heard about Learning with Pibby Armageddon, a fan project being created by Studio VEGA. However, after what was said on a stream yesterday, I would strongly advise not supporting this project. I. They stream, the "CEO", Ivan Kam, said the N word.

IS THAT GODPIGEON!? #animaniacs #goodfeathers

If this actually comes to fruition and it doesn't require an excessive level of user intervention, this could be a very big deal. Massive IPC increases in software that don't use many cores and largely solving the problem of software not utilizing all the cores of CPUs effectively.

Just saw someone call Mamdani a “Dem op” because Obama called and congratulated him after he won the primary and they chatted for a bit and for the love of god y’all have got to stop being such fucking weirdos.

This image here perfectly captures one thing I absolutely adore about Gumball Season 7. The hand drawn characters feel like they occupy a 3D plane - these are not angles/drawn positions the original run of the show would EVER have for the hand drawn characters

Wasn't a factor in Nazism or right wing politics similar to that not becoming a major political faction in post-war Germany due to the loss of much of Prussia (home of much of the Junkers) and the destruction of the Junkers as a dominant group in Germany?

It says something that conspiracy theorism and right wing extremism are so intertwined to the general public that there was a serious discussion about a little girl conspiracy theorist character (not even a right wing one) on a Nickelodeon cartoon and she was made more into a detective instead.

Jay Ward fans, this animation test for The Mr. Peabody and Sherman Show done by David Vandervoort for Titmouse was just uploaded. In the end, DHX Media Vancouver (merged into DHX Studios as the show was winding down) was chosen with Top Draw as a subcontracter. youtu.be/BZtfHryZYZM

None, it's just a tool in the toolbox.

The mainline comic book universes should last 10-20 years each (universes would change periodically) and have the characters age in real time. Would allow for more character development and prevent the toxic dual incentives of escalating stakes and maintaining the status quo at the same time.

Abortion rights proponent had a fairly loud and widely accepted voice. Many knew women who had an abortion. Trans people have been demonised to some extent successfully. Doubted, othered, the unknown, something to be wary and fearful of. Many media are feeding on this. Few know trans people.

Allegedly the units sent this out, that soldiers who disagreed politically could ask to be excused from attending the speech. Army didn't want the optics of having people not applaud the President.

According to this image I found and reports of Streaming and Studios keeping the IP, CMlN and AS the channels are being split up from their IP and production studios.

The intro of the new King of the Hill season has just been uploaded. In other news, it's official that Toby Huss, the voice of Kahn and Cotton Hill, will be the new voice of Dale. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but Masako Nozawa, the Japanese voice of Goku and most of his male relatives (Gohan and Gotten included) has agreed for her voice to be replicated by AI. This was last year. daanimeblog.com/2024/10/17/m...

I see anti-Stancil “leftists” on here have negative polarized themselves into arguing that FDR liked Hitler and vice versa. no they didn’t. that isn’t true.

i mean the problem is people want to act like if Jim Crow didn't exist then Hitler would have thrown up his hands and been like "well shoot, guess we can't do the Holocaust now" instead of inventing/copying some other legal regime

"America supported Hitler until the last second" is a different statement than "Some private American companies continues doing business in Nazi Germany until forced to stop." Unless you want to claim the US government and IBM are the same exact thing.

these people are part of a social class who would not do well under any other political economy and have benefited more than almost any human alive from liberalism which they are committed to destroying. what value add does elon musk have in the world he’s trying to build? its a murder-suicide

I think Musk sees himself as a warlord in a Mad Max wasteland that kills his foes and has a harem. In short, he views himself as a future colonel killmurder, not as a capitalist that’s threatened by one. Importantly, he’s delusional about that.

My layman guess is that, at least up until recently, a consensus among many was that the Dem base was seen as radicals who would upend the status quo wil the GOP base were seen as less extreme and their demands as, at most, just exacerbating the status quo since Reagan.

you are crazy if you think these people are successfully pulling an Orban, now or at any point in the future

I've been thinking for a while of a response movie of sorts towards the dystopia YA novels: an animated black comedy where the dystopia is largely led by ego-centric buffoons drunk on power who stumble into power by exploiting resentment and then collapse the dystopia by their own incompetence.

I don't think social media in of itself is a problem. A large amount of communication revolutions like the printing press, radio, and the newspaper contributed to such things as the religious wars, the rise of fascist dictators, and the worse elements of the Age of Revolutions.

I just looked up the Wikipedia article and part of it devolves into John K. puffing himself up (he worked on this and detailed it on a Spumco book he wrote).

Saw the new Smurfs movie trailer yesterday. Why does it remind me so much of the greentext from 2018 predicting the Mario Movie?

Increasingly thinking that, if we get out of this, the USA will probably need a new constitution which good chance will be enacted outside of the mechanisms the current constitution allows.

In terms of the recent tariff situation, I think that how it'll impact the Trump regime's popularity and legitimacy will depend on if aggressive tariffs are placed beyond the extremely short term on allies. If they aren't and Trump claims victory on "concession", that'll legitimize to many his.....

The only times I Nintendo was "innovative" with their console hardware were the NES (set the standard for console gaming going forwards), the Game Bot (set the standard for handheld gaming fro then on), Virtual Boy, DS, Wii, 3DS, Wii U, and Switch.

My take on the whole overpopulation thing is that I'm against ecofascism, the Population Bomb is wrong, it's better to find better ways to accommodate more life, and in my ideal future, humanity as we know it disappears from the Earth because we all literally became gods via the multiverse.

Howe-Strauss theory says this isn't too likely. Gen X is a recessive generation (specifically a Nomad generation) and it's more likely that the next generation, the Millennials (a generation of the dominant Hero archetype) will take power more quickly than Gen X and then cling onto power.

The only way this gets turned around is for the leaders of the Democratic Party to understand the value in the modern Information Age of a partisan alternative media ecosystem that can promote your program and your message. .. exactly @benwikler.bsky.social gets it

fascism "provided the proof that man can, without difficulty, combine crack-brained beliefs about the world with a confident mastery of contemporary high technology." --Hobsbawm

It has been over 20 years since we got first word on a Mighty Mouse theatrical movie. Not getting my hopes up for now. web.archive.org/web/20100421...

This doesn't end well for the fascists

Make the Most of it, featured in Gumball's The Kids (2014) is a beautiful send off for Logan Grove and Kwesi Boakye, the Gumball and Darwin of the first two seasons, vocalizes key aspects of the duo, and also contains very creative guest animation from CRCR collective. youtu.be/dEmpYs03ik4
