I haven’t had Netflix for a couple years now and people still look at me like I’m crazy. My parents even offered to buy me an account after hearing I canceled it.
For many Netflix has become so ubiquitous with television that not having an account is like opting out of culture.

So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE.
There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it.
Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance.
24 hours. Go.

Society parried the ozone layer, acid rain, and Y2K back to back and instead of going "wow, parrying is badass" a lot of people went "society didn't even get hit so I guess there's no need to learn how to parry" and instantly took a thousand hits
we live in a sick society that thinks preventing problems is a waste of time and effort and hey, guess why everything sucks now

Do I have any voice actor connections that would be interested in helping a high school journo class with an article? A friend’s student is writing about Amazon’s disastrous AI dubs and wants some quotes from pro voice actors to get their feelings on it. Any help would be great! Thanks ya’ll!

The brilliant thing about Gavin Newsom isn’t that he’ll cave to whatever political ideology is presently in front of him. It’s that he genuinely believes people will vote for him. We might be witness to one of the worst presidential bids in our lifetime and I cannot wait to watch him eat shit.
Ben Shapiro: "Israel did not commit a genocide in Gaza"
Gavin Newsom: "I agree with you."

I swear the only way to get an original animated series off the ground these days is to have written for Rick and Morty.
Other than that, I’m just glad that there are jobs for people.
