Expect projects like this to become rare. WB and Paramount are being folded into Skydance. Evidence of their unique corporate identities will get scrubbed, as when Disney took over Fox. And the recent execs who were barely interested in history are being replaced with people who have zero interest.

What once was the peak, is now just the beginning.
Paramount and Warner Bros. shaped over a century of culture. By combining them, we aren't rewriting history — we're equipping these iconic studios with a more powerful engine. Together, we are Skydance: a creative-first ho Show

Remember: Trump is continuously stoking doubt in mail-in voting when he cast votes that way TWICE THIS YEAR ALONE. There’s no basis to his claims – he just wants to make it harder to vote.

Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

Also: in addition to the fractured unclusterfuckery of the Weimar Republic (which arguably was on paper a proper modern reformed parliamentary system), take a look at the utter parliamentary/executive shitshow of the French Third Republic in the 1920s and '30s

Hegseth is a great example of a common type of officer who's ended up in charge of something, doesn't have a clue how to do the job, and just falls back on PT, grooming, slogans, and searching for scapegoats. If you put him in charge of a Cinnabon he would do the exact same things.

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water.  I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there?  God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

A sign that says, "Caution. Historic Pavers. Please watch your step." There's a stick figure guy tripping over a paving stone that's sticking out of the ground. The joke is that he kind of looks like he's skanking.

When people say things like this, what they mean is they want the angry energy of MAGA, on the yet-unproven theory that you can get votes you don't already have with that anger, but without the thing MAGA is actually angry about (i.e., the decline of white supremacy)
