Writer-types: what's a franchise you were born to write, but you never will? I hope that I actually will get to write The Fairly OddParents. I have ideas for a grand finale to Timmy's story. I know, Channel Chasers but I want to involve what the show became and what it says about our world today.

I haven’t even seen Lego movie 2 yet, but that’s really cool. Honey Where are my pants was one of my favorite running gags in the first movie.

played smb3 in one sitting after not playing it for years and holy fuck that shit took me like 4 hours to beat. good game, kicks your ass real good towards the end (even if the more maze-like stages were kind of annoying) but holy FUCK this should have released with at least a password system

You can really tell how much support for Republicans has fallen off a cliff lately One year ago they were promising nationwide purges after Charlie Kirk was killed and now someone takes a shot at Trump and it’s LET US BUILD A BALLROOM ITS ALL WE WANT PLEASE PLEASE JUST THIS ONE THING PLEASE GOD

🧵I'm going to be writing a piece called "Why there is no liberal media." Main points: 1) There's plenty of money on the left 2) It's locked up in wasteful TV ads 3) There are some prosperous left media outlets, but they almost never help small or medium people 4) The right wing does the opposite

So the disdain you’re seeing for the people who attended last night’s dinner is a reflection that a lot of people are *extraordinarily pissed* at the kid gloves they keep treating this fascist administration with Like, they (justifiably) see them as elites with no connection to the working class

Palantir are about six months away from ordering their employees to leave audio logs scattered around their offices

Anybody who keeps up on me, I would recommend you block @admiralmpj.bsky.social. Back in the 2020 primary, I remember him being one of the more a-hole members of the KHive and, based on these points, seems like he hasn't changed much. Anyways, blocking them.

learned yesterday that the Sea Monster Ate My Ice Cream episode of ducktales was like 9/11 for hungarian children

like not only is the plot like three or four different mario games spliced together but now you're telling me fox mc-motherfucking-cloud is in this thing. like the pikmin cameos are just par for the course but like. what the fuck. who gave miyamoto the crack pipe

the mario galaxy movie being only 90 minutes with the sheer amount of shit being stuffed into it makes me feel like it's gonna be a dumpster fire to some degree

The Jetsons lied to us

I think to reduce Caine down to “he’s just like AM now” is a bit too simple; I view him less as a villain and a monster, and more as a neglected child having a tantrum. His breakdown, while certainly malicious, was driven by anguish and confusion at the world rather than solely anger or hate.

yeah. i think "Caine did horrible and inexcusable things" and "Caine did those things because he's genuinely hurting" are two opinions that can coexist. i mean i've made jokes about Caine being evil after this for funsies but i still understand his character depth.

a hugely underrated aspect of parliamentary systems is the snap election. far superior to impeachment, which was a dumb design to start with and straight up does not work anymore

Anyways. Jumping on the Kagi train a bit. I'm normally have a "raging hot ball of fire" on generative AI and its effects. However, this is an exception, for now.

Wait, the party is essentially abandoning Talarico? Where is the evidence to your claims? If so, then they're screwing up. If not, then you're spreading claims that is going to depress the turnout. Also, I just don't see the campaign as one that will only be carried down-ballot. 1/4

Here is my reply to all of this. If there is indeed a situation, in my ignorance, where African Americans are doing a disproportionally large amount of the campaign work, that needs to be resolved. I believe in equity and that includes the division of campaign work.

Color me concerned. If we can't count on the press to do timely deep-dives on candidates, Dems need to hire teams of private investigators. We don't need a G. Santos on the Dem side. I want the political equivalent of a colonoscopy on candidates, esp. if they are unknowns. bsky.app/profile/whst...

It is precisely that he is an extraordinary political communicator that makes the guy with the Nazi tattoo, who also quote tweets white supremacists, and hangs out with antisemitic podcasters, so potentially dangerous

About my thoughts on the Warner Bros. buyout by Paramount Skydance. I'm going on the assumption that the buyout does happen, even after possible obstacles such as regulatory buyouts and the courts. The resulting conglomerate is a massive ticking time bomb both in debt and politically. 1/7

I do remember in the lead up to the second administration that Patel was among the most worrisome of Trump's nominees because of his past behavior, leading to fears that he would go full on "persecute the opposition on bogus crimes and accusations".

The right’s response to the Bad Bunny Super Bowl performance is pretty close to a straightforward demand for white pride worldwide.

For those who think this video is AI, it's real. skip to 43:30. His name is Liam. www.spectrumstream.com/streaming/al...

I guess my non-educated takeaway is this. Kirk is probably the first major American right wing influencer murdered in the Trump era in a high profile manner. However, he was very popular in an online way and not much else. Also, he was maybe, to an extent, a voice of moderation in that... 1/3

A devastating loss indeed. No matter what you think of his work over time, he was one of the most distinct background music composers in the history of American children's TV animation and one of those that kept the practice of Mickey-Mousing alive. Besides that, he did branch out ... 1/2

RIP Guy Moon, the composer for several series, including Fairly OddParents (and the rest of Butch Hartman's work), 2 Stupid Dogs, Cow and Chicken, Ned's Declassified, Big Time Rush, Back in the Barnyard, and many more. He was 63 years old.

Anyways, my personal recommendation for reading *mostly* amazing and positive queer representation from a corporate IP comic would be IDW Transformers. Just..skim through Phase 1 and you’ll be very surprised. I know, I know.. my taste might be narrow. I’ll be working on it! I swear!

Jumping on @foxpopvli.bsky.social's recent #VHS filter thing! "The Amazing World of #Gumball", circa 1991. 😁 #anthro #furry #cartoon #redesign #90s #aesthetic #retro #nostalgia #dawgweazle #tawog #twwwog #darwin #watterson #toon #toonfur

I'm not even going to repeat people wanting to hate Disney or negativity thriving on the internet. Dana fans hating on Hexed I feel almost want to use the idea of the movie being an Owl House ripoff as part of a narrative of "the creator betrayed by the big bad corporation". 1/5

disliking everything made after Season 3. Feel how you want about the show, but both sides are too extreme. Extreme fandoms are nothing new for the internet, but while I can't speak for what Stephen Hillenburg wanted, he wouldn't have wanted this.

I like SpongeBob and respect Stephen Hillenburg, but as sad as his death was, it's incidentally opened up an ugly can of worms. There's one side that uses the show and it's longevity to snub other shows, and then there's the other side who puts words into a dead man's mouth to rationalize

one thing that democrats are really quite good at is correcting and "fixing" the mistakes of their previous bite at the apple. It goes as far back as Clinton correcting for the legislative failures of Carter!

Dana is one of the funniest people in voice acting. With a voice full of sarcasm, weirdness, energy, comedy, and a ton of heart. He’s also one of the nicest guys too. He deserves this spotlight no doubt.

The current state of the Bruce Harbell Wikipedia article.

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
