I’d swap 4 and 5 and 6 and 7, but 11 is pretty indisputable at this point yeah?
haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

Yeah so that's space marine iconography fed through AI slop, implying that he is a Divine God Emperor of Warhammer 40,000. Ironically, the God Emperor is a semi-conscious dying husk "overseeing" a fascist regime that is fundamentally running without him. Why does that sound so familiar...?
Things are going well over on Truth Social, where Trump just reposted AI Slop of himself as what I can only describe as imperial Lannister cosplay, with prominent Democrats kneeling at his feet

This is what got Mr Burns shot. In case anyone wants to take some inspiration
A 25-person startup is developing technology to block the sun and turn down the planet’s thermostat.
The stakes are huge — and the company and its critics say regulations need to catch up.

my favourite part of WICKED 2 was when they got to the song about Fucking and she pulled on the most enormous and thick sweater blanket you've ever seen

Even pirating Harry Potter lends the fandom legitimacy and currency.
People, big respected names, took joy in disclosing they were playing the game, to taunt trans people.
Don't be that person. Ignore it. Watch a better show, read a book that doesn't help fuel trans genocide.

HBO CEO Casey Bloys says 'HARRY POTTER' Season 2 is already being written
"We’re going to do whatever we can to not have a huge gap, for the kids, obviously, but also for viewers"

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

“Dinosaurs exist in the human world, and nobody cares” is maybe the most I have ever had to suspend my disbelief while watching a movie. (The catchup continues with the new Jurassic World.)

As a former travel agent & airline employee who has traveled 100s of thousands of miles, no. It won't improve shit. The problem with air travel civility is entitlement over the enshittification of flying, not the ladies in yoga pants & crop tops. Make FLYING better.

It really is just simple geometry.

The entrance to the 3-storey bike parking garage at Utrecht Central holding 12,500 bicycles. It’s free for the first 24 hours, linked to the station, and used by tens of thousands every day. This is what happens when a country treats bikes as real transport infrastructure, not an afterthought.

I think a lot that is wrong with fan culture can be seen in the strange insistence that something like “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey”, which is awful, is somehow more offensive than the “live action” remake of “The Lion King”, which is just as bad - it’s just “official.”

This meme was generically stupid pre-Trump2.0 and became something close to an obscenity post-Trump2.0 when the FIRST THING THAT HAPPENED was the gutting of USAID, which will cause more death and suffering by magnitudes than whatever the meme is meant to (usually with good intention!) rage against.
I hate this sort of meme.
“The only difference between the parties is whether the power to destroy human civilization rests in the hands of leaders who think gays, women, and black people should have their rights acknowledged.”
Even if true, how is Rainbow B-52 not infinitely preferable?

I saw both 1 and 2 five times in the theater because I loved them, not because I wanted them to make money. Stop being weird about box office you nerds!
This feels deranged a dystopian in a very capitalist hellscape way. Caring THIS MUCH about box office is weird.

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor
