Congratulations to Katie Phang on winning the preliminary injunction motion to further the release of the Epstein files. Love her!

Seriously, the stuff the Muppet crew created in that bike riding scene is still the most mindblowing thing I've ever seen in any media production. I know how the main riding segment was done, but Kermit stood on his bicycle seat and posed at one point. To which still I ask, "HOW?"

youtu.be/i47j2YxDG9g?... Fascinating in-depth look at the history of Sony Pictures Television. This might interest you @nemalki.bsky.social and @twin-images.bsky.social

This is a really interesting document. Basically, the issue MeTV Toons is having is that because these shows are originally produced for children, they have to obey advertising limits. But if a show was made for kids 30 years ago, and it currently appeals mostly to adults, is it still a kids show?

It's a bit after midnight when I'm writing this. Happy 2nd birthday to MeTV Toons, a pretty remarkable network that has entertained my cartoon-loving self for half a year now. It's been almost six months to the day since I got the channel, and I feel the network's just getting started.

Had some thinking. Still, the EU has two separate reviews. The news made it all confusing. There is the foreign subsidies review that could still get probed. Let’s not forget the CMA in the UK. Ellison is still legally frozen until August 7th. @ericfinalfantasy.bsky.social @mvlakai.bsky.social

Standard GTA day for me. I'm driving fine, everyone just gets in my way.

#Looneyune 25. #Dawg Robert McKimson’s dog also worked with Porky Pig. Based on a scene from “Daffy Duck Hunt” (1949). #LooneyTunes @davealvarez.bsky.social

One of the running gags we have on our podcast is that of all the Looney directors, we have no idea what Robert McKimson sounds like, cause he was rarely interviewed. We didn't know that because neither of us listened to the Walky Talky Hawky Commentary on GC V3!!!

Seriously Netflix, what the hell are you thinking about releasing your animated films around the same time as either another animated film or especially a major event in movie theaters. Sure, there are times when it turns out that it works. Like Leo became a bigger hit than Wish.

It’s because the film is being made at Skydance Animation, led by a disgraced animation veteran, John Lasseter. Nonetheless, I was really somewhat hope that the movie would turn out at least ok…….

A multi-state coalition consisting of California, New York, Colorado, Oregon, Nevada, Washington, Connecticut, and Tennessee represents a powerful, bipartisan legal front spanning the entire country.

A lawsuit, which will be joined by New York, Colorado, Oregon, Nevada, Washington, Connecticut and Tennessee, aiming to block the merger is expected to be filed within a month. #BlocktheMerger

This breaking update from The Hollywood Reporter is a massive development that completely destroys the corporate narrative and proves the state AG firewall is real.

Alert. I got some movies. Still no Taz: Quest For Burger. I think that takes my collection of Looney Tunes movies to 10 between VHS, DVD, Laserdisc and Blu-Ray. Not bad...

Perhaps the other reports lied? Or they think that EU will approve the merger but nothing has been officially said from the EU?

Based off what we heard, they are definitely shifting to the Wilderman and Grieve team to make more shorts for theaters There's also not forgetting San Diego comic con, they might announce something there? That's usually where WB announces stuff for television

I’ll keep fighting until #BlocktheMerger. I am also seeking therapy so when I bring this up, I hope I see things more in a positive light. I’m looking at being offline less for the sake of my health. I rather enjoy the life I have rather than waste it being apathetic and hopeless. Take care.

Are you kidding me? The EU is going to approve the merger. David Ellison is winning and we are losing. #BlocktheMerger because I don’t want WB to die and dissolve forever.

I'm presuming that their waiting for the EU's and UK's response and if do approve the merger, THEN they decide to strike.

The Veto Trigger: If David Ellison refuses to completely sell off major European assets—such as localized streaming distribution pipelines or regional television networks—the EU will trigger an automatic, multi-month Phase 2 investigation on July 7, legally forbidding the deal from closing.

1. The EU’s Standard Antitrust Review (July 7, 2026 Deadline) The Reaction: The European Commission is expected to reject any minor corporate promises to "behave nicely." Instead, heavily pressured by the local film industry, European regulators are poised to demand massive structural divestitures.

The new investigative report from Cineuropa confirms that European independent film professionals, cinema operators, and local production unions are aggressively lobbying Brussels and London to stop the transaction.

The European Union and the UK are highly likely to launch full-scale, aggressive Phase 2 investigations that will legally freeze the entire $111 billion merger globally.

The Lord should ask us to keep looking out for the poor, the sick, the homeless and the lonely. Follow faith and the teachings that bring us closer to peace, healing, and reconciliation. To all that are cynical and stubborn at the world changing for the better, “Get used to different.”

It's September, not July. Stop believing what you read.
