Even though the legacy press and social media might try to convince you otherwise, I still believe that there are more reasons for hope than doomerism and that there are more good people than bad. And the bad people will lose.

Hatedoms on social media come across as so incredibly forced and performative, and it sucks because all the ragebait BS drowns out actual good faith media criticism and analysis.

Lol, paying that kind of money for people to shill for you screams more "we're desperate because people hate AI slop" than "we're super profitable because everyone loves AI".
Microsoft, Google, Meta and Amazon paying influencers $400k-$600k to post months of AI hype content. Absolutely busted, failed industry, embarrassing era

I'm of the belief that if a studio cancels a show or movie, then the rights should automatedly be given back to the creator of those characters and ideas.

This looks fun and I look forward to seeing what comes out of this.
And I hope that all the Animation Twitter types who constantly scream "go indie" at animators actually support an a big name in the animation community doing just that.

The Melania propaganda movie bombed.
Bad Bunny got way more views than the Kid Rock Super Bowl Knock Off Show.
Never let MAGAs, chuds, and reactionaries tell you that they're winning. They are losing the "culture war" badly and they don't know how to handle it.

There is nothing faker, more performative, and more hollow than being a reactionary and grifter.
Their only goals are to grift their followers and gain a reaction out of people to get them more clicks.
I don't even think most of them have any true beliefs other than grifting.

I still believe that AI is going to collapse within the next year and it will take down OpenAI with it.
Other tech companies that have other areas of income will survive, though still be hurt badly, but I don't see how slop only companies like OpenAI survive or make money.

The American government has all but assured me that I'm probably never stepping foot in America again. At least not until he and his terrible fascist policies are gone.
And I don't think I'm alone.

t will always be funny how conservatives keep trying to scare people about cultural stuff or civil rights, only to make it sound like the coolest thing that no reasonable person would object to.
Both these options sound objectively amazing, why do racists keep assuming everyone's racist?

That Pokémon Super Bowl ad was honestly the best one because it didn't feel scummy, scammy, or dystopian. No AI slop.

Coogler is the one person I trust to do an X-Files reboot, but that is a show that really needs the 20+ episode season format. Condensing it into an 8 episode run would take away what made the original so fun and long lasting.
Not every show needs to be "prestige TV".

Why does it feel like so many executives in the animation industry hate animation or not know how to market it? Especially when Matt Braly and Rebecca Sugar created two of the most beloved animated shows of the 21st century.
This movie deserves to be seen.

Matt Braly has revealed that his feature film, co-written with Rebecca Sugar, has been scrapped at Sony Pictures Animation.
The project centered on a young boy who embarks on an emotional journey into a fantastical realm of Thai spirits, hoping to find a cure for his illness.

Turning everything into a culture war and a console war sounds exhausting and miserable.

Since yesterday was the anniversary of the Poochie episode, Comic Book Guy being a stand in for toxic and entitled fans was honestly a stroke of brilliance from The Simpsons writers and its something I'd have liked to see more shows do.

If these MFers actually wanted to "protect kids", they would:
Pass gun control
Stop demonizing vaccines
Fund education and healthcare
Punish every single creep in the Epstein files
Censoring the internet does nothing to actually help kids. It only makes them ignorant.

I believe that the right actually thought that they captured the people's hearts, minds, and culture when Trump won the election.
Except they didn't. They're even more hated than ever and they're big mad that people don't like them.

Elon has been promising pure fantasy for over a decade a now, but dupes keep falling for it.
Remember when he said he'd already have people on Mars by now, and now he thinks he's going to have cities on the moon? Lol.

Does anyone else get the impression that the Big Tech companies came across as kinda desperate with all the Super Bowl ads they put out?
It's like they know the crash is coming and they want to get in as many suckers as possible while they can.

This might be a hot take, but if parents are so concerned about what their kids see online, then they should actually do some damn parenting themselves instead of campaigning for governments to make things worse for everyone.
