Required ID to vote wouldn’t be an issue if every adult was registered to vote automatically and provided an Id. As is all the SAVE act is good for is voter suppression.

Even if you don’t think AI “art” is theft(it is), even if you think it looks good sometimes, why on earth would you want automate away the best part about being human?

We’ve moved on too quickly from how awful the superbowl ads were. Just AI and surveillance state shit.

Reminder that online sentiment toward anything isn’t a good way to get a read on consensus of any kind. Social media encourages specific kinds of interactions

Nihilistic billionaires shouldn’t be allowed to enjoy art of any kind.

It's Elmo's birthday

I wanna see more male friendships in media portrayed like Lord of the Rings. Men cry in the films so much(can’t speak to the books sadly) and I love it. We need more of it.

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

All the worst people are even worse than we all thought they were.

Silksong should have been at least 40 dollars

I don't even know how to feel about this, because I do think the TV version is an ultimately flawed project, but this'll be the FOURTH take on this particular story. Manga, movie, original TV edit, and now this. That being said... if they do it right? This could be *the* ideal cut of the story.

If this is what the whole of Super Final Mix is going to look like in comparison to the original we're actually in for some good shit lol

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing? ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW. I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Maul shadowlord looks incredible. George really made the right call with marionette character designs. Seeing where it is now, nothing else looks like animated star wars

The fire at the Beth Israel Congregation, the same synagogue bombed by the KKK in 1967, is not an isolated incident. It’s the result of a deliberate increase in rhetoric that treats Jews as threats to be eliminated. White nationalism is a cancer — it must be ended. shorturl.at/JW93l

Being the head of lucasfilm in any capacity feels like it’s an exercise in getting blamed for the projects that aren’t good or just not liked, and then zero credit when something is good.

I love @totallynotmark.bsky.social's Dragon Ball Magic for many reasons, but one of the biggest is honestly @kaiserneko.bsky.social as Gomah! youtu.be/ucwSGu1c9ms?... Great job as always to @animeajay.bsky.social and the rest of the TNM-team, and @lanipator.bsky.social and the other voice actors!

@adamchristopher.me just finished Master of Evil and really really liked it a lot. It made me care about new characters in this universe in way I don’t experience often, and has my favorite characterization of Darth Vader next of the films and the kenobi show.

No! The criticism of the Dems isn't that they never win elections, it's that they don't use power to solve the problems that got us here. Elite impunity, concentration of wealth, the unitary executive. Winning is only step 1

www.kanzenshuu.com/theme/eyecat... Being able to pull up any eyecatch from here is always great, but it hasn't been updated in ages. Maybe got overambitious noting even order changes rather than just the different drawings, but then I guess that's the Kanzenshuu way :P

Wonderful video of someone diving into Star Wars in a way that was approachable to them. Something a little lighter for the timeline: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jKN...

You gotta love people who make a living talking about media and can’t be bothered to do the basic amount of research before just vomiting out takes, continuing the spread of misinformation.

I miss getting new games and new television shows in their series a year or two apart. Everything taking half a decade to come out is becoming exhausting but also seems unsustainable. Give me worse looking games and television with less time consuming production pls.

Mr.Satan from the cell arc of dragon ball z and his fans are so analogous to current events it’s hilarious.

Infinite money for wars and regime change as always.

Could we not bomb Venezuela to start the new year. Jesus fucking Christ.

Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.

Billionaire Tom Steyer: “Bernie was right. Boy was I wrong. We don’t have a choice. We need single-payer.” #MedicareForAllNOW

The internet rewarding cynicism and hating things has been bad for pop culture for a long time now.

We’re at a point where lucasfilm should just put out a document explaining what attachment actually is. Because so many people still do not understand the difference between selfless love and attachment.

I love the way the magic wish dragon in Dragon Ball is like a reverse monkeys paw situation. You can angle shoot your way into the wishes you want by teetering on the edges of the established rules.

Mr. Cuban, I'm a professor at Yale School of Public Health. Here's a paper published by one of my colleagues in the top medical journal evaluating the Medicare for All Act, which would not only get us there, but would save $450B per year. Happy to discuss! www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Ben Burtt has become Lucasfilm’s first ever 50-year recipient of a Service Award, honoring his incredible 50 years with the company. Burtt is a visionary sound designer who created the sound of the lightsaber, Darth Vader's breathing, and the binary speech of R2-D2.

Rewatched Mandalorian Chapter 13 The Jedi last night & definitely a top tier episode in Star Wars TV. The aesthetic of Corvus is amazing 😍

We would have a lot less contentious discussion about George Lucas if he took more credit for his editing and writing contributions on his own films(and other peoples films). But the fact he didn’t probably has a lot to do with being the kind of person able to make profound and enduring art.

Another reason why social media, and especially algorithmic shortform social media, is the worst method I know of for learning about both news that matters *and* the silly video game opinions of people I don't know. The incentive for outrage is massive. The incentive for nuance is non-existent.

I would never trust anyone who complains about "revisionist history" to have anything remotely interesting to say about any artistic work. Placing so much emphasis on your first gut reaction to something you saw years ago gives away that you are trying really hard to be a teenager forever

Curious how all the major anti-Semitic conspiracy theorists were best buds with Epstein.

When I’ve written about Elsa chatbots and Marvel actress deepfakes, people always eagerly respond that Disney will surely sue the AI companies. Didn’t happen. Instead, they joined forces with them. You can’t trust corporate America to do what’s right, not even for them, once they smell money

I’m tired of modern media having every character explain obvious things to the audience. I kind of get why they do it but I think this is just creating a negative feedback loop where everyone gets dumber. It’s especially inexcusable in video games, since they require active engagement anyway.

Truth. Justice. Whatever. #Supergirl lands in theaters and IMAX June 26.

We don’t talk enough about the Godzilla theme being one of the best film score songs ever

There's a big difference between "I don't like this movie, show, or game and here's a critical analysis as to why" and "I don't like this thing for bad faith reasons, so I'm going to devote my whole life to hating it and harassing people" and I wish more people understood that difference.

Metroid prime 4 is Metroid fusion in 3d and not on a space station.
