back on twitter I used to maintain a dictionary of novel phrases I've seen emerge on tiktok. I think I'll start a new one here:
I want this and have tried to pitch it but the market that exists for low-budget 2d animation is wholly sated by anime other than the odd awards-targeted feature
Is there a reason why A24 hasn't started a proper animation division? Can you imagine how much getting a string of auteur-driven 2D films made on, like, $20 million each could do for the American industry?

leaving aside the awful, does a market for that even exist anymore? as an HBO show it's already pretty niche compared to merch juggernauts like Marvel, and the fandom's pretty long in the tooth. would the weird losers who can't let the IP go even want a Harry doll that didn't look like Radcliffe?
Hasbro and Warner Bros. Discovery have signed a multi-year deal starting in 2027 to produce Harry Potter film and television series dolls, role play, action figures, collectibles, interactive plush, board games, and more to be revealed later this year - bwnews.pr/45UKdKL

The Armenian Genocide is a historical fact. Vice President Vance can delete his post, but he can't erase history. His decision to ignore the facts is beyond disrespectful to the Armenian community and the millions killed in the Armenian Genocide.
Vance Acknowledges Armenian Genocide, Then Deletes Post, Igniting Outrage
By deleting the social-media post, Vice President JD Vance upset Armenians after a historic visit.

I actually think the slow collapse of the fast food industry might change this situation
Meat is a big issue. Demand continues to grow. It’s resource intensive. Bad for the environment. I don’t see how we don’t shift to lab-grown meat in the next decade.

I didn't know they were real rocks! I had assumed fancy concrete
Yes, we talked to a geologist who curls about the very special geology of curling's stones, please enjoy
Why curling rocks come from just two spots on Earth
The rocks used in the Olympic sport of curling come from one island in Scotland and one quarry in Wales. What makes them so special?

there are so many third-space ventures in LA that get funded on "and it'll be filled with hot people! instagram will do our marketing for us!" and it turns out ig hotties show up when they're paid and stay home taking selfies the rest of the time
there have been some attempts here in LA, notably "The Wood," a bar-like setting with outdoor space. The problems inevitably are: it's smelly, most people who like weed enough to want to go there aren't the instagram hotties the investors imagined, and weed doesn't produce mingling like booze does

We're far enough past the "Mad Men" finale to where they could do a one-off reunion movie that takes place in late 1983 in which Don, freelancing after many years of alcohol-related career setbacks, pitches head-of-creative Peggy Olson the Apple "1984" Super Bowl ad.

This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.
