WHEN THERE’S TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Oh wow. Yes, very clever! Waterfall treasure! No one’s ever done that before. Lazy jackass

WHEN THERE’S NO TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Wow. Too stuck-up to put treasure there huh? Too much of a fucking ICONOCLAST for that? Piece of shit. FUCK you

Just saw on IG that Drew Struzan has died. RIP to the man who painted my childhood.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

I’m gonna go to a No Kings rally on Saturday and I hope all of you will too! There are more of us than there are fascists and it’s time to remind them.

Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan.bsky.social · 2d

The fact that top Republicans are already fearmongering about, lying about, the No Kings rallies this Saturday, across the US, tells you how worried they are about public pressure and protest against their reactionary, autocratic, anti-American agenda.

I really like making TV, making you all laugh and cry and roll your eyes. Nobody is owed the opportunity that I’ve gotten and I appreciate it every day. 🖖

It also meant 6 years of no breaks! Which never bugged me because we were making the shows I dreamed of. And you guys haven’t even seen Golden Axe yet!

I was fortunate to sell Solar and LD basically at the same time around 6 years ago. I became a leader of my own shows for the first time-I learned a lot as a writer and producer across these seasons. Im beyond grateful to the ton of talented artists who had my back.

Feels weird to not have Solar or Lower Decks in production anymore. So proud of what we accomplished on both shows in very different ways. Thank you to everyone on both productions, and to all the fans who tuned in!!

”The Solar Opposites final season perfectly encapsulates why this show was a perfect blend of comedy, family, and sci-fi hijinks. It’s a worthy send-off for one of the best adult animated shows since The Simpsons.”
