It has started a little bit as of this last decade (Proud Family, Chibiverse Phineas and Ferb, and DuckTales) but none of the TV shows have even touched getting into the big screen since Teacher's Pet made a pittance in 2004 at the box office.

All I'm gonna say is that the only reason that Teacher's Pet is not getting the most horrifying live action remake in the history of live action remake is because it's too obscure for even modern Disney to adapt.

Very likely. The polls all show him at a comfortable lead and every single election since 2009 has seen the presidency swing between the broad left and broad right. Last election, a socialist won but quickly collapsed in popularity.

You can technically still end an episode with the apocalypse starting but, at unless that episode is a season finale that, outside of creator control, becomes a series finale, the show is going to follow up on the apocalypse in later episodes.

Part of that is the rise of more serialized shows where continuity exists between episodes and thus, you can't end episodes with permanently offing the regular cast and/or world they live in unless you place the episode far enough to into the future.

It's the same organization that threw such a hissy fit over this segment of a children's edutainment show covering the Inquisition (it acused the segment as anti-Catholic) that it was ultimately removed from future TV broadcast airings.

In the case of Gumball, the story didn't actually end the way the creator wanted. To be honest, ending the story at "the universe and its citizens is swallowed up by cosmic horror" I feel is too bleak even off Gumball so I'm glad there is a chance to conclude it on the creator's own terms.

More than that though, America doesn't really have political parties as would be described by large parts of the rest of the world.

Schumer was put into the leadership position in good part to allow individual senators to go against the party line:
bsky.app/profile/shar...
bsky.app/profile/shar...
The Senate had a ruthless son of a bitch running it in Harry Reid, and the entire reason Schumer ended up as head of the Democratic Senate caucus is because they didn't want to deal with that much ruthlessness
I think it's worth clarifying--
there's no reporting that Chuck Schumer or Hakeem Jeffries signed off on anything
this is a breakaway group of Senate mods / institutionalists refusing to follow the party line set by Schumer
which is like not great for leadership but also not leadership caving

I'm not saying this to badmouth Casten at all. In fact I agree with what I remember to be his opinions of the Senate.

Is it just me or do I partially get giddy at the notion at elections being cancelled or nullified in a "Oh yeah, destroy your own legitimacy. Create the conditions for a reaction so large that you will be forced to bow or leave office." way?

The Oscars for best animated shorts had and I think still have a sentimentality bias. It's why, for the MGM cartoons, the slightly more grounded T&J won seven Oscars but Tex Avery only got nominated twice during his tenure at MGM.

I've tried getting a response to see if they're irony posting but they haven't posted. Last year, Christopher did say something about not wanting to expose kids to LGBT to avoid brain rot and 2024-stuff. This is in spite of the show he is creating having its lead be played by a trans person.

Sorry to tell you this but we're not out of the woodworks yet. Christopher, one of the boarders and animators at Star Studios, along with Josiah (nickname Pie), a VA on Pibby, both retweeted Musk's outrage over Dead End having a Trans character.

Remember, kids, to the vast majority of monsters, are essentially walking, talking nuclear rods and Waternoose just admitted he would drag who knows how many into their world to extract energy. I mean, to them, what would happen if the kids escape containment?

Very late response but I want to talk about the whole "the most unrealistic part of Monster's Inc. is a CEO being brought to justice" bit. Throwing out morality out of the question, Waternoose's actions would be seen as horrifically wreckless in an earth shattering way.

1. As @unavaleable.bsky.social has pointed out, Dem admins since Clinton at least have at least initially been good at fixing mistakes from the previous Dem admin.
2. Response to the second Trump admin will be colored by what the admin does in the future and how the admin ends.

Eh, I think whatever urge to move on among a select few moderates and the media will be overtaken by the Dem primary electorate wanting justice real bad. Also two other things.

This new world I'm describing not everyone is going to like but I think that there will be at least perceived progress in the material prosperity of the collective public in the wider sense. However, the floor of material wealth might be quite low.

My feeling often is the kind of "things are going to get horrifically bad for a short while but, unless human civilization is annihilated, the times after will be a new world of hope and systems in place to prevent the nightmares that we had just witnessed for at least a long time."
