Germans made the automobile
The Wright brothers were the grandsons of German and Dutch immigrants
Scientists that fled Nazi Germany and a host of other immigrants mastered the atom

🧵 An alternate historical novel was written by Philip Roth, THE PLOT AGAINST AMERICA. Limited series by David Simon. Stephen Miller should watch it.

The funniest thing in modern anime fandom is the kneejerk defense of "they are saving the budget for the fight scenes" in order to defend animation on par with The Adventures of Paddy the Pelican

Beginning: Child Gaston eats 48 eggs
Middle: ?
End: After completing his journey Gaston is asked if he wants his regular 48 eggs. He rejects this and asks for 60 eggs (five dozen)

The End of History for gaming happened with the release of the PS4 and Nintendo Switch. All further consoles will just be those two.

"Here is 30 seconds of human misery: now buy McDonald's"
McDonald's has released an AI-generated Christmas ad
The studio behind it says they 'hardly slept' for several weeks while writing AI prompts and refining the shots — 'AI didn't make this film. We did'

Paramount spent the 2010s following this exact mindset and the end result was a bunch of Transformers movies bombing and only SpongeBob on TV before Viacom unloaded an empty shell
My counterpoint to “but muh theatrical window” argument: You know how Sinners was one of the best movies of the year both commercially & critically? Yeah, you can kiss original ideas goodbye if ParaDance has their way. I’m sure the Scooby Doo Meets Sonic The Hedgehog deserves a theatrical window.

If you want to know why so many films have bad editing just keep this in mind
Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos says BARBIE and OPPENHEIMER would have been just as big on Netflix.
“There’s no reason to believe that the movie itself is better in any size of screen for all people. My son’s an editor, he watched ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ on his phone.”

I already knew about Denmark's poor treatment of Greenland, but I did not know about this absurd pseudoscience crank parenting test they use to rob people of their children.
They can even take your children at age 9 if you fail!
