Lmao the "deathrow!!" potluck woman is homophobic??

I saw this quote from Tony Gilroy doing the rounds. And I think it's also emblematic of the best approach when working in superhero comics. Additive storytelling enriches the shared universe in a way that nostalgia simply cannot.

Robot Dreams

I might be a hater but the things I hate are objectively bad, unlike all the other haters who are bad people who hate things that are good actually.

thinking about this a lot today

This is gonna sound so heartless but whenever someone does something terrible, they often talk about getting death threats and we all agree that that is also terrible, obviously. However, queer people get death threats online every day when theyre NOT doing anything terrible. (1/2)

every time

I used to hide copies of attitude under my bed as a closeted teen, now I'm in it and it feels terrible! 😍 www.attitude.co.uk/news/world/u...

"The new James Bond game is filled with DEI and women telling him what to do!" Yeah and he's a white guy constantly given special treatment and you are rewarded for not listening to your superiors. What is their issue?

I had a stalker who locked me in her house and assaulted me. Should I or should I not see Obsession?

that’s great, man. that’s wonderful. thanks (Russell T Davies on his new series in the Guardian)

GDT subtweeted him and probably broke his heart.

Paramount+ wanted to use the image on the left as a poster for the wrath of Khan, so they used everyone's least favorite technology to generate the rest of the image.

Hacks stuck the landing 😭

Huh!

I hope Voldo is doing ok.

Real good bit about the slippery slope of genAI use. A battle we're already fighting, especially against the C-suite.

Listening to some old Bernice Summerfield for fun. And never realised @hamishsteele.bsky.social wrote one of the stories in this set!!

‘Amphibia’ creator Matt Braly speaks out against the use of AI in animation: “If you need to partner with AI to get a greenlight on your project, it ain’t worth it.”

this is not true, and this guy doesn't speak for me! nymag.com/intelligence...

So often people show me their pitches for shows and I think it looks cool but I get an uncollaborative vibe from them. So many people want to have a show, fewer want to MAKE a show. They want the product, not the job. And that skill and passion is 200x more important when pitching than the idea.

TCAF is next week!! Will I see you there? Also: if you have your heart set on something, consider bringing cash or having the ability to PayPal me as my card machine may not work (it did at my las US con but who knows)

"let people enjoy things" is over. we must want things to be good

The James Bond game did their research on UK culture. The bottle caps stay attached to the top when you twist them off.

So I am guessing art being posted on Instagram from someone who doesnt subscribe is gonna get buried right?

“Oh they kinda ate with that” - me pointing at their fork

‘The Good Advice Cupcake’ creator Loryn Brantz says she is “horrified and disgusted” after BuzzFeed allegedly gave her character to an AI platform without her involvement. She also called for a boycott of BuzzFeed and AI-produced animation.

Why do AI people always have to use extremely weird and sexist analogies for why its good?

also, I happen to be a follower of the Good Advice Cupcake and sought out their stance on this as shown below. Companies used artists up amd then thrown them out, it's fucking sickening.

I genuinely don't know what to do anymore. Been pitching and pitching and pitching shows lately. I've been developing several since Dead End that keep falling through and then you read stuff like this and question everything. Jorge man... what the hell?

Going to Toronto for TCAF but also the week after. Any recommendations for food, activities, stores?

Rearranged my whole week around two meetings which both got cancelled. Oh well!!

Not only that, but we have had multiple right wingers deliberately try to get cancelled at their august institutions and failing, Bari Weiss most famously, and it was clear THEN that getting cancelled by the Left was how you got cache on the Right

Criticism is valid. I love reviews and debate and have quite happily been a hater at times. But I am so sick of COMPLAINING. Complaining is different. Complaining is relentless negativity about everything, making things up to be mad about, obsessing over media that isn't out yet, just to WHINE.

Forgot "radical" wasn't just 90s slang for something being awesome and I was like "sign me up!"

The Grim Reaper says we must support Satan, guys!

not going to relitigate all of this for the millionth time because lines have been drawn for nearly a decade and mileage is allowed to vary. This is what I wrote about BoTW's degradation a few years back, though, and I stand by it.

40 years ago today the landscape changed permanently. Happy birthday, Dragon Quest 🐲⚔️

"You know the film, the one about the fucking wee bear lad, loves immigration and fucking about. The bear, he's got a fucking hat and sandwich up his arse. His parents are middle class cunts. Jam! He fucking loves jam." "Paddington?" "That's the one, right"

Utterly deranged.

I have started reading homestuck for the first time and suddenly I am cool with the kids (??)

(Is there one in six Americans get food poisoning every year thing true because what the hell? I have never had it and have only heard of like a couple of friends getting it once in their life?)

Here's my parenting tip: Stop making laws that hurt LGBTQ+ kids.

Got these wonderful Pokémon Gen 1 and Doctor Who prints by @hamishsteele.bsky.social at MCM London

Been at comic con all day so no idea what blue sky discourse people are vague posting about but how do any of you even see discourse on here, you choose who you follow and nothing else is pushed your way?

I think I miss dedicated fan sites the most. Not just for information, but for the specific personalization of each one. You'd get details available nowhere else online, but filtered through someone's entirely unique tastes. Helpful, bizarre and everything in between.
