The Cartoon Network leak revealed that the team actually wrote fake interviews for the Powerpuff Girls in-house so that the writers could understand them better and honestly this is incredibly useful for learning how to characterize your characters holy shit

Video Game of the Year is such a fun, insightful read. A book that kind of blew my mind right from the start in connecting the industry's obsession with games about shooting aliens right back to Space Invaders. Love the idea of seeing more historical insights like that from Jordan regularly.

Love how the comments getting irate at how I talk about Halo 2's themes and how the cultural context surrounding it has colored perceptions of the series based on a surface level understanding of it always, ALWAYS prove my point.

We're speedrunning toward a future where news orgs are forced to use AI to create photos that are no longer available from archives, and if I have to explain to you why that's bad then you're already too broken to be part of society.

Unity literally announced the "AI makes a game for you" thing as an April fool's joke in 2012 - dunking on the creative bankruptcy of the whole concept - before announcing it with a straight face just the other day.

So many films that try to do the "Well what do YOU think it's about?" thing are just masking a fundamental insecurity in their craft. They're films about nothing trying to get us to do the work for them. This film? This is Lynch at the peak of his multivalent powers. We will never find the bottom.

This is from Danny Trejo’s daughter. I couldn’t figure out how he got involved with it. Looks like Shapiro duped Trejo, which isn’t surprising. I won’t watch the movie

For #DoctorWho folks, Elizabeth Sladen's daughter is posting on Instagram about some weird generative AI videos about Elisabeth Sladen and Jon Pertwee...

I don't want to give this person traction or publicity but lets normalise calling people who make Al videos of people's dead relatives what they are - a bit of a pervy weirdo

Highlighted comment

@sadie_14dy 4 min ago

This video uses Al images of my mother, making her say and do things she has not agreed to do because she is dead. Anyone watching, promoting and especially making this type of content is abhorrent. My mum would HATE this as would Jon. Stop feeding strangers into a computer because you're a pervert.

Would you want strangers making videos of your dead relatives?

I wanted to take this time to share my appreciation for the great Maddie Blaustein, yesterday was her Birthday and she would've turned 66. If you didn't know, Maddie Blaustein was a intersex trans voice actress and she's best remembered as the voice of Meowth In Pokémon. (4Kids) 🏳️‍⚧️🧵 #maddieblaustein

Useful article. Nothing I haven’t been saying for almost the last decade now. I would add that a lot of people that found success on social media weren’t able to turn that into a sustainable audience which is why a lot of former institutional knowledge is out of work. Gotta have unique work.
