“The artist Darren Cullen, a Banksy-like figure who has conducted many similar ‘subvertising’ campaigns before, posted photos of the faux advertisements on X-formerly-Twitter.”

Too many important things to do instead of attending my son's wedding, like post about The Huckster

YOU were president on January 6, dumbass.

I'll stop clogging up Darren's mentions with this thread (sorry! 😅) but I don't actually know what CAN be done about the fact that there's a SIZABLE part of "Older Millennial" Star Wars Fandom whose *primary* attachment to the IP = "This is a thing I hate for fun on The Internet."

Which is Reason #58494374492028134543 why I will be celebrating when It Finally Happens. Losing their cash cow will fuck over those corrupt shitweasels forever.

I liked the movie quite a lot, but if the fake-shouty-beardos on YT (who also didn't like Andor, or Acolyte, or Ashoka, or anything recently, if I recall) are down on it that thoroughly proves they're only fans of being mad at 'Star Wars,' which isn't surprising anymore

There is a certain type of person who grew up in a conservative US household, hated it, and likes to think of anti-American dictators as fellow comrades-in-arms. That sort of person needs to realize that Muammar Gaddafi was more patriarchal than their parents and raped his female bodyguards.

The J6ers claimed to support cops, then they assaulted cops. They whine about being treated so horribly by law enforcement, but they're fine with ICE treating brown people 100x worse. They preach "personal responsibility" and won't take any for their own actions, which they CHOSE to commit.

I know there are hardly any opportunities to begin with, but if you hold any position in games media, regardless of authority level, it's your responsibility to advocate for marginalized voices. It is both morally good and good for your business to have a diverse voices at your outlets.

Every day I contemplate the fact that we still don't know what causes left-handedness. Ages ago we as a society decided it was totally normal and stopped punishing and ostracizing kids for it. Today the thought of being anti-left-handedness is bonkers to us. This is a post about trans kids.

As late as the SEVENTIES, people were smacking the left handedness out of kids. The term "sinister" literally means "left hand"! the negative connotations came from the idea that being left handed was unnatural and evil! If anything the Black/White aliens in OG star trek were TOO SUBTLE. WE SUCK.

I HAVE BEEN BURNED BY THIS ANNOUNCEMENT BEFORE BUT THE HYPE IS WORTH IT FOR THE FLICKER OF JOY IT IGNITES IN MY BURNED OUT HUSK OF A LIFE

Always remember: for the vast majority of citizens, trans people are less than a non-issue. They want to be able to afford to feed their kids, not govern toilets. For all the neoliberal crowing about “much needed guidance,” on our rights, we’re a luxury problem for those who don’t have real ones.

Really good video youtu.be/-5YVwd1TaCk?...

I feel like in the year and change since The Well came out nobody talks about it at all despite it being a very good episode, and imo this is almost entirely and predictably due to the very unnecessary choice to make it a Midnight sequel. In a way the Well is everything wrong with RTD in microcosm

And let’s not forget the writers, producers and crew who also made the Late Show what it was and who have lost their jobs because our president is a thin-skinned thug who deeply fears the ridicule he so richly deserves.

The replies and quotes to the tweet on the left went about as well as you'd expect.

Zero days without nonsense

no more mass appeal

There's a sequence in the third act of MANDALORIAN AND GROGU involving Sigourney Weaver that I 100% believe Sig herself insisted upon. Having worked closely with her, she's one of us in a big way & you can tell she's having THE BEST FUCKING TIME being in a Star Wars movie. Worth seeing just for her.

- This is so “Luke Skywalker”. - You’re not brother and sister, right? - That’s a funny place for his antenna. So many terrible jokes in one scenes.

Maybe some could argue that there are worse out there, but I may have found what is possibly the worst joke from a theatrically released animated feature. My reaction, let's say, was less of laughter, and more of just saying "Why?"

My personal opinion is that the censored Smash Bros outfit for Mythra is leagues better than her original Xenoblade 2 outfit because the added tights help provide more contrast to her design which actually make it easier to make out the details on her outfit plus tights are cute

AOC: This is what drinking water in Georgia looks like after Meta began data center construction in the community.

FUCK ICE NOW AND FOREVER

It might have something to do with every single star wars thing being aimed at people who are 30 minimum Also the fact that Disney failed to understand the EU is where you put nerdy lore shit but movies and TV have to be for normal people

The DC animated films should've always been a way to do "comic accurate" retellings of stories without having to worry about continuity the same way films/shows do. The moment they decided to make them a connected universe the whole enterprise was doomed

The thing about "ANDOR" is that it's a little bit like 'Star Wars' version of "WATCHMEN" - a transcendently great work within a medium where part of the point is that works as well as it does because the rest of the medium ISN'T LIKE THIS that fans will spoil by demanding "Make everything like this"

Congrats fandom, you took one of the greatest pieces of media to ever come out of the internet and made the creator regret having anything to do with it by being shitty entitled bitch babies. And you’ll all be even shittier, more entitled bitch babies when the ending isn’t exactly what you wanted.

One factor in Trump getting re-elected is that he never shut up or went away. While Democrats went through a process of trying to apologize for Jimmy Carter or Hillary Clinton by tacitly agreeing that Reagan or Trump had valid points, Republicans never bothered to say that Trump got anything wrong.

A rare case of YouTube serving me an actually useful ad, I'm now learning of the existence of acoustic booths, and that seems really useful for video calling or just dampening down the noise of a busy environment. As someone who records lots of things, that makes me excited in a sadly nerdy way.

The Disney+ Star Wars shows had many creative decisions I don't get, but having Baby Yoda reunite with Mando in the Book of Boba Fett literally a year after Mando s2 will forever be one of their most baffling ones.

‘Supergirl’s Family Vacation’ is DC’s latest YA graphic novel which is written by Brandon T. Snider, with art by Sarah Leuver. It’s a really wholesome read and I say that as a good thing, it’s perfect for any ages and has plenty of teachings and fun for all. Here’s my review!

Being fair to myself, I DO consider how insane of a workload that is, and I think Moffat is not just a good writer but a great one. That said…his work on late period Smith is *bad,* full stop.

this was HR 2616 which also bans books by or about trans and nonbinary people from schools START CALLING YOUR SENATORS NOW CIS FRIENDS TRANS KIDS NEED YOU

Trans people are not “fighting for unpopular positions that society isn’t ready for.” Trans people are fighting to KEEP the rights we have enjoyed for decades. We have been able to legally change our gender markers since the 70s and before. Same with bathrooms, sports, youth, all for decades.

FFS "beyond human hunches AI is the most efficient tool we have to tell if something is AI-generated" no it's not! At best it tells you the same thing as those hunches, and if it can put those into words so can you; at worst it's confabulating an answer entirely. The 2nd option means "don't use it"!

Pfft fuck this hack. Michael Bay can eat donkey shit.

In honor of Tom Kane's memory, here is my favorite performance from him

the nicest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a small but dedicated cult following of kind hearted and politically shrewd weirdos & sickos that keep the fire going. the meanest thing you can wish upon an artist in 2026 is that their work gains a large online fandom

You know, differing ideas and opinions will always be a thing and should always be a thing, but whenever some website, company, or individual defends generative AI in any way whatsoever, I immediately don't trust them and want them to shut up. Stop acting like we're helpless unless AI protects us.

He promised to release his tax returns as soon as there were no more audits pending, and now there are no more audits pending.

Not shocking, he's been an asshole this entire time, but frustrating nonetheless. This movie almost definitely won't exist, but fuck him for participating in the propaganda on any level.

I am still shocked that Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves didn't do better in theaters, because this movie had everything to make a good Dungeons and & Dragons movie on top of being an enjoyable and hilarious romp!

What the actual fuck The audacity to say to a graduating class with probably millions of debt that what they learned is probably already obsolete How could you work with artists like he's worked with and think AI is a good idea

Overall dub acting has gotten so much better (except in PAYMENT GUH) but I will admit I hate how every dub VA is "Vaguely Californian Everyman, USA" in their tone. I miss the thick Bronx or deep Texas accents for comedy/side characters!

WAIT. HOLD UP. you mean to tell me the machine that pollutes the air, destroys our drinking water, fucks over our power grids, steals our jobs & our art while doing a worse job at both while adding nothing of value to the economy... the thing that *I* was told is "inevitable"... is unpopular?
