Despite a pretty shit week mentally, I've not felt this focused on anything creative in awhile... so I felt the need to ask quite an important question regarding an aspect of video presentation for when I eventually come back.

Just remember these numbers next time you're on a show and they say "I'm sorry, it's just not in the budget :-("
Paramount is making a hostile bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery after losing a major bidding battle to Netflix.
They are offering an all-cash deal worth $108 BILLION.

I dunno man the concept of actually owning something you pay for must be like a drug if you're under 30

Yearly reminder that Whammageddon begins today. Good luck to all who participate.
I just know my two trips to the hospital this week will catch me out. Hospital Radio at Christmas? It's a certainty that I'll hear it. If not it'll be a bloody miracle.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

I sorta think the fact that they pivoted from NFTs to AI without even pausing is part of why more people aren’t buying “AI is the future.”
“Okay, the thing we just spent 2 years telling you was the future turned out to be nothing at best and a scam at worst, but this time we have a real one!”

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

The thing about the Linehan case is that either the Judge is sympathetic to 'gender critical' ideology or British law thinks it's perfectly acceptable for a 57 year old man to stalk, doxx and physically attack a 17 year old girl.
Both explanations are horrifying.

Everyone is afraid of the US, and rightly so. They're a super power with advanced weaponry, a fuck tonne of nukes and a despot leader.
That does not mean Europe and the UK should just let them ride roughshod over our economies.

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.
