Disney has hiked prices and laid off hundreds of workers this year.
Yet Disney paid its CEO $41B in 2024. It just reported a 36% increase in net profits for parks and streaming. And it plans to double stock buybacks next year.
Remember this as Disney turns to AI.

Super Mario World has an extremely eclectic art style whereby many enemies are drawn in completely different ways. Development files reveal Mario went through many stylistic changes; it is possible that all the enemies were made to fit Mario, but at different points in time.

Every time someone uses the abbreviation FWIW, I mistakenly get excited that I’m about to hear something interesting about David Lynch’s film Fire Walk With Me (FWWM). FWIW, FWWM is amazing.

Today someone was telling me how bad socialism is, and then later was lamenting how SNAP and Medicaid are under attack. I think a lot of people truly don't realize what socialism is other than a boogeyman they've been conditioned to hate.

If you really think about it, generative AI technology is amazing. To take all of human culture and turn it into ugly, meaningless garbage? That’s a huge job! I’d have no idea where to even start or what buttons to press.

I think what’s been most unsettling about the genAI era has been realizing that most people seem to be satisfied with sloppy impersonations of creativity, and indeed don’t really seem to be able to tell the difference. And as it turns out that also applies to the news

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Amazon announced plans to lay off 14,000 employees as it looks to invest more in AI.
Wall Street cheered the news, sending Amazon stock prices higher.
This will boost Amazon's CEO pay and bolster Jeff Bezos's net worth, which is now $250 billion.
The system is rigged.
