Thinking about the Disney/OpenAI deal & how a handful of nerds (derogatory) who are so out of touch with the average human experience they can't even imagine raising their own children, are sitting in rooms passing billions back & forth, making the world worse so they can have more fuck you money

Can't wait til it's like 2030 and Disney buys Netflix for a trillion dollars and Disney+ costs $300 a month even though they've replaced half their artists with AI and Bob Iger announces the live action remake of Dumbo from his 27th yacht.

answer is great but also it's telling that the guy who's been saying this since day 1 has to answer about whether he's an antisemite for 5 min every interview while the same people grin vacantly at the jewish space lasers lady and call her a brave warrior
WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?
MAMDANI: That I am looking forward to being the next mayor and fulfilling the commitment I've made to Jewish New Yorkers to not only protect them but to celebrate and cherish them

Saw a lot of haters before seeing Wicked: For Good so I was getting nervous but I loved it? So I'm guessing it's just the non the not being ready for Act 2.

Cuomo told Mamdani that his 2300/mo apartment is "where poor people are supposed to live" and Karoline Leavitt texted "Your Mom" to a journalist so this is just your daily check in that everything is still really fucking stupid.

My prediction is the Beetles movies are going to do for the musician biopic what Snow White did for live action Disney remakes. Not saying the quality won't be fine, but I feel like the demand is fading and at least 3/4 are gonna underperform and studios are gonna take a pause for awhile.

There are 3-4 scenes in Regretting You involving a character moving a city limits sign to get delivery from his grandpa's favorite pizza place. It is established that this character has a car and the pizza place offers take out. The CoHo quirk must be stopped!!
