To be clear: this in no way alters my opinion that the current so called "AI tech" shouldn't even exist. However, I can't help but laugh at the idea of a shithead corporation like Adobe being pulled apart by the same kind of tech they forced into their products. petapixel.com/2026/10/07/s...

With the new season of Helluva Boss on the horizon, I thought I'd do a quick comparison between it and Hazbin Hotel. Seemed fitting since we may get crossover content from them soon. youtu.be/SetAtK3vTVw

In 1976 they absolutely would not have cared about fatphobia. Far more likely it was thought it’d be harder to make her sympathetic if she was fat and then when the precedent was set that adaptations didn’t have to keep that every other adaptation followed suit.

Since I've never quite jibed with Stephen King's writing I never read Carrie. Which means I was today years old when I found she's explicitly and repeatedly described as fat in the book, and we're now on our fourth adaptation and not once has that trait been adapted. I'm honestly kinda pissed off.

I feel like it says a lot about my relationship to that movie that it took me a while to figure out who you meant. In my mind that's Isabel and it throws me off that most folks don't call her that. I get why, and it's fine, just... yeah.

To be clear: at the box office, not with critics. And because Dreamworks didn't know how to market it and seems like they got cold feet about it in the last few months.

Because Dreamworks didn't know how to market it. And I guess to be fair, I'm not sure I would either because boiling it down to a 2 minute pitch can't preserve what's great about it.

It's the same reason that on occasion networks will produce shows for other networks (ABC produced multiple Fox shows, Fox produced Buffy even though it was on other networks, etc.); they think there's money to be made just not with their own audience.

From a profit perspective it makes sense. If they have data to support the idea that none of these titles are driving subscriptions and are just kind of there to fill out the catalog, they're probably worth more licensed out than as exclusives. Not defending capitalism, just saying I get this move.

*COYOTE vs. ACME SPOILERS* It's interesting to me that what got everyone else was "Are you coming back?" when the bit that broke me was right before with "Have you been witness to his pain and suffering?" Just the idea that somebody saw, and was willing to say so... to be witnessed... that hit.

This should be zero surprise to anyone who’s actually been paying attention. He was already on the “fuck you” list in regards to generative AI, right next to Natasha Lyonne, and (to a slightly lesser extent) Demi Moore.

You know I really think we need to update the old "if everyone else you know jumped off a cliff, would you do it too?" saying to something a little more relevant to our lives. "If everyone else you know pushed people off a cliff, would you do it too?" Or indeed standby and just watch it happen?

I've got so many people on my block list on here and it grows every day. If I ever get questioned about why I just have to assume the person either posted AI uncritically or did something transphobic. I figure that'll cover about 98% of the blocks.

Correct, fandom has *always* had massive assholes in it. The difference is before social media you could just avoid the places they were (the comic book store, certain online forums), because now they shout on the same platforms everyone is one and it becomes harder to just avoid them outright.
