Whelp. While I dithered about it a little I ultimately came to the choice I always knew I would make: I’ve reupped my Disney+ subscription. That this comes right after they announced the use of genAI slop in the future twists the knife a little, but I am Disney’s bitch. At least for the next year.

It's The Muppet Show with our very special guest star Arsène Lupin!

I’ve flown back to the city I grew up in for a funeral. Spent a couple hours wandering around a part that is still familiar but also changed. Dealing with wistful nostalgia on the same day that I see this stupid headline and lede.

One more day of work, then I fly out first thing tomorrow for the funeral. Don’t care if I run into delays coming back, but I need everything tomorrow to go smoothly. Two flights, less than an hour window between first one landing and second one taking off. So much potential for issues.

Atheist here, just want to give credit to those who walk the walk.

Seeing headlines that Disney is going to be putting gen-AI slop on Disney+. I had been planning to let my subscription renew one final time, dedicating next year to watching everything I have on my watchlist and then canceling it. This... this might actually push me to cancel now, not later.

Two consecutive days I see skeets referencing Young Einstein. Coincidence, or did something prompt this? Was Yahoo Serious mentioned in the Epstein emails?

Perfect timing.

The misconstruing of the ‘employer/employee’ relationship constantly makes me grind my teeth. Absolute ‘Up is down’ wrongheadedness. I think the major fault is that people see politics as something to leave to other people and just forget about. There’s no civic pride.

Buying cross-country round-trip tickets a few days before the trip at a time when a bunch of flights have been delayed or outright canceled because of the government shutdown. You don't want to know how much I'm being bled for this.

Here’s the game: one of these commenters is a real person, the other two are bots.

Oh, so they want their customers actively harassed now.

‘Spaceballs equivalent of The Sopranos’ is a perfect descriptor of this administration.

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1698

‘Positively the gayest screen event of the hour.’ There are so many people who need to step their game up, then.

No judgment on the OP for being open to getting published in Time, every writer wants to reach the widest audience possible, but I'm putting this as another point in my personal 'Time is shit just like all mainstream media' column.

Looks like a nail salon

King Vidor's First World War epic The Big Parade premiered 100 years ago today. It would go on to huge box office success, reportedly ranking as the second-highest-grossing film of the silent era after The Birth of a Nation

Had an anxiety dream about oversleeping and running late for work. One of those days where my day job is intruding even on my ‘unconscious and blind to the world’ time.

“I’d also like to announce that you forgive me.”

Day 305. Slept in until 11 (wasn't planned) but managed to tackle most of the things I wanted to as I attempt to catch up on stuff from the past couple weeks (anime and manga, mainly). Didn't do much writing, will try to make up for that tomorrow. 1) Read six chapters of Cowa!

It's actually a bit dark that this can be read as satire of the 'Bad stuff is permissible as long it's legal' philosophy of the Trump regime and other authoritarians.

And she posted this all on Twitter, of course. Really shows she's learned something.

BRAK O LANTERN

Maybe if we let tech companies think they invented it, we could get episodic television back. “It’s called… a micro-arc, an entire season’s plot-line distilled down into one episode.” “This will revolutionize how television gets made. Imagine the same characters but… in different situations!!!”

Somehow I slept in until 11.

There will be a day when Game Freak introduces a Pokemon that is just a horizontal line, and its evolved state will be a vertical line, and someone will try to defend it as an interesting design.
