An admitted terminal TRON head, I've just not been thrilled about the casting of Leto in this film. Everything else about it has been sounding fantastic though, and then along comes @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social to give me that gentle push onto the game grid...

Libs of Tiktok, Elon Musk, and Robbie Starbuck put everything they had into trying to push a boycott of Netflix over LGBTQ characters in their shows.
Netflix ignored them and the stock is back up. Turns out bots don't actually cancel accounts.

The right wing of the Democratic party needs to release its chokehold on the party and let the left take care of business. Look at what "reaching across the aisle" has got you, and offer alternatives instead of caving to the mean daddy in your head.
