While people are getting in a knot over the Shrek character redesign, we’re neglecting the true artistic outrage of the 21st century so far: The current generation animation style of Thomas & Friends versus the previous, infinitely superior generation. A travesty worthy of riot.

On the one side you have every writer, artist, musician, actor, director, and comedian ever to create anything worthwhile, on the other you have Elon Musk, Bankman-Fried, and people whose idea of artistic creation is to type "big titty Supergirl" as a prompt. Of course Labour side with the latter.

The site formerly known as Twitter is a Nazi site.
No one can claim they don’t know this, and we are well past “I use it for the other bits”. I’m not saying that if you are still using it you’re a Nazi, but you *have* decided that Nazi-ism is not a deal breaker.
