Dunk the Halls is phenomenally weird.
I just saw Stitch stitch box out and grab a rebound, and Minnie just drove on whoever the Knicks center is.

It seems that the news has gotten out that we've lost Eddie Sotto. It's hard to know what to say about someone who was not only so wildly talented, furiously and energetically creative, and all around brilliant, but also incredibly kind and generous. It's an enormous loss for us all.

Eddie Sotto was absolutely one of us. He cared deeply and passionately about creative pursuits, and was always willing to offer his opinions and insights.
A huge loss. Rest in peace.

Words are insufficient for me to summarize the extraordinary life of the brilliant Eddie Sotto, even after a day of writing notices of varying lengths. Although I knew this day was approaching, I still don’t know where to begin. Eddie had been signaling it to me in the most paradoxical, “Eddie” way…

Randomly came across Disney artist Frans Van Lamsweerde in one of those posts that casually boasts, “My father was an artist at Disney.” And my follow up, “What was his name?” Then the unfamiliar name, followed by a Google search. And then, “Holy Cow!” Pictured here are his private Christmas cards.

Last week I loaded up Disney+ and had a clear, halting "what even IS Disney anymore?" moment based on what greeted me there. I guess the answer is they agree with me, they are IP rent collectors and nothing else

There’s gonna be a lot of really weird shit getting generated and it’s important to know that it all had the full endorsement of the Walt Disney Company, who is paying to let people make videos of Mickey Mouse get into a shootout with a SWAT team

It would be nice if they stood up for artists; "We won't use AI in any public way or for any finished product." Doesn't stop them from using it internally.
Instead, they want in on the Tech Company bump on Wall Street. Disney isn't a Tech company but they always try to position themselves as one.

NEW - Disney and OpenAI have struck a new three-year deal letting Sora generate short, fan-prompted social videos featuring 200+ characters from Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars.
