On Christmas Day 2025, I fell in my kitchen baking cookies for Santa and broke my back, leaving me paralyzed. I'm currently in a long-term care facility with my benefits severely cut and could use financial help with bills and groceries. You can donate to my GoFundMe or see links in the reply.

anthropic's exploding lol it went public, we find out the company's debts are like $650 billion dollars. It's valuation was based on like a ton of IOUs. a week ago those IOU holders were selling them off. in china right now, the bubble is very much popping and $450 billion vanished overnight. hm

Send in the Clown has eclipsed the 1,000 wishlist mark! I only somewhat regret promising to do a push-up for each one.

White people calling the police on a Black toddler and police responding are why it's always and forever the racism, not "economic anxiety."

I spoke to the mom of the 3-year-old soccer star who was left "thinking he did something wrong" after a league official called police "due to a disturbance between parents" The youth sports league said they launched a review and reached out to the family

Counterpoint: No. Ken Burns didn't spend decades making documentaries out of animated PowerPoint presentations for you to come shove a bunch of "AI" bullshit in my face ESPECIALLY on a topic like this when the data centers powering you "documentary" are damaging predominantly Black neighborhoods.

Ava DuVernay's 14th, about the 14th Amendment, uses AI to animate old photos that are in the public domain, and the filmmaker wants people to see the documentary for themselves before deciding how they feel about it. tinyurl.com/c6nj6vf7

"Can you please watch it?" No. It's unethical, and I don't need to see it to know that.

China’s first AI-generated theatrical feature has flopped, earning just $181,000 in its first weekend. By contrast, the scrappy ‘Niu Lai’ turned its crude animation into a viral attraction, grossing nearly $10 million a couple of months ago. www.cartoonbrew.com/box-office-r...

Don Bluth didn't traumatize every child one by one over the entirety of the 1980s only for people to pull this bullshit.

But is Wildwood too mature for my childre-SILENCE YOU COWARD! We grew up on movies where a baby dinosaur wept over the corpse of his dead mother and a swamp drowned a live horse. We watched these movies at every sleepover. Has your bloodline degraded so much in a single generation?!

I just think Matt's wrong about this. We're at a point in our technological development where a ton of problems spill over national borders--if Flavio Bolsonaro burns down the Amazon, that will flood houses in Miami.

God my stomach dropped when I saw there was gonna be a nightjar/patoo in Hexed because every fucking time Disney puts some cool, lesser know animal as a sidekick in a film they dominate all references/image searches/toys for it. Bonus: my patoo puppet I love very much.

In "Peanuts," Linus first mentioned the Great Pumpkin on October 26, 1959, creating what would go on to become an indelible cultural icon. Here’s that strip, followed by the rest of that week’s dailies:

Looking for game devs who have been directly inspired by anything BioWare for my next video. I suspect the public likely doesn’t quite realize the extent of their influence on the industry, so I’d really like to highlight that. If you are one such game devs, pls reply to this post!

Happy sports equinox day! Today is the only day this year that you can (try to) watch an NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL and WNBA game at the exact same time, or as I call it: The Sickos Challenge.

I could spend the rest of my life analysing this feedback sign in the local Home Bargains. Did 'not happy' break from overuse? Was it taped over to ensure 100% positive feedback? Is the green 'b' in 'feedback' some kind of subliminal nudge? Is the duck tape indent because people still keep pressing?

This is a little excessive. If he wanted to visit his dad in jail so badly I'm sure he could have set up an appointment or something.

Flávio Bolsonaro refuses to concede after losing Brazil's presidential runoff to Lula. "It is impossible to acknowledge the election results. We will ask for the elections to be annulled."

Abdul punches back and doesn't take shit. He isn't a weak centrist nothing. People want fighters.

Didn't they do this before? And somebody ended up in prison?
