I feel even more vindicated about watching Disney shows and movies the morally correct way instead of via Disney+. And hey, if Terrace says it's morally correct to pirate Owl House, it's morally 🚒ing correct.

‘The Owl House’ creator Dana Terrace responds to Disney+ funding AI-generated short form content in new tweet:
“Unsubscribe from Disney+. Pirate Owl House. I don’t care. Fuck gen AI.”

one degree down, one degree to go. every little bit helps. doomerism is collaboration. only big social majorities can get it done.
Lot of people are already passing this around with the usual "WHY ISN'T ANYONE DOING ANYTHING" shrieks, while ignoring the fact that the article literally says that this is a *significant* decrease from the warming that we were on track for even a few years ago.

One of the many reasons we have to fight the rise of the far right is the risk they pose to undoing the progress we *have* made.

Boseman's career was and is legendary, even if cut short by his illness. It pains me to think of how many more roles he could have had, that he never got to play, and we will never get to see him in.
If any 21st-century actor deserves a star of the Walk of Fame, it is Boseman.

Despicable Me 🤝 Toy Story
Started in the 1.85:1 aspect ratio, then switched to 2.39:1 for one of the sequels, then inexplicably went back to 1.85:1 for the following sequel.
I'm... sure the people who made the movies know why they chose wider formats for one sequel.

Pixar just dropped the first teaser for Toy Story 5 today. Overall, there's not much to go on but I'll just say that it's crazy how the animation has come along since the first one and that I am excited to see where this goes. Can't wait to see it in June!

Yes: As I often say in response to unhelpful climate doomism, the truth is bad enough.
BUT Gates doesn't speak the truth. He parrots fossil fuel industry talking points that downplay the gravity of the climate crisis and obscure, rather than clarify, the way forward: thebulletin.org/2025/10/you-...

I saw someone call Ai a Thneed and I can't stop thinking about it. It's a PERFECT analogy. The Thneed was an all-purpose tool that didn't do anything really useful. It was a fad that did major damage to the environment to make the Onceler a billionare. It left no real lasting impact, only damage.

At Jenna's request, I also checked out the four songs that were submitted, but didn't qualify for the 1993 contest. I wouldn't have ranked any of them that high, but Estonia's was the best, followed by Romania's, Slovakia's, and last and least, Hungary's. 🧵
Best of Eurovision 1993: "Hombres" (Spain). Turns out quite a lot of the best Eurovision entries are about how men suck.
Worst of Eurovision 1993: "Shiru" (Israel). So 🦭ing dull, I almost confused it for a lullaby.

So, recently, I've been feeling nostalgic for the 3DS era of Pokémon.
...how timely that a Kalos game would come out as I feel this way.

They are the same people funding the lies that climate change can’t be reversed and nothing can replace fossil fuels.
To save life on earth, we must break those lies and defeat the fascists first.
And Gates wants to make us comfortable as we die.
Mr Gates, before you euthanize us listen to us!

To plateau we needed to achieve 0 growth of CO2.
For margin of safety, we would need to be a tiny bit negative and that’s a tiny bit of reversal.
If a tiny bit is possible, then reversal is possible.
The people trying to block climate solutions are the same people leading the fascist takeover.

Good on #UFO50 for getting me into a sports game of all things, because Hot Foot is a fun time. I wish more sports games went for a more fantastical, arcade-style approach like this one. It worked with NBA Jam, and it works here too.

Holy 🦭, did I pop off hard with this one! I was just trying to beat the game, but RNG was enough in my favor that I skipped the gold, and went right to cherry with Hot Foot!
