I'm ending my social media sabbath because I discovered that I'm on this list? I may have gone overboard to follow starter packs, but I feel depressed.

I tried my hand in pixel art and, well, the results speak themselves. I'm gonna be honest – it was a thrill to create my own pixel art. Not great, but I am getting the hang of it #PixelArt

For some reason, I subscribed to a block list a while ago and I noticed that it blocked mostly LGBTQ artists. I only discovered this when I saw my favorite artist was blocked on my end, so that cleared that up. Here's this person's list that blocked them

1. The Iron Giant My brother and I obsessively watched this movie when we were younger. My mom was surprised when she first watched this with us and it was really cool

In the upcoming years, this art by Fujimoto will forever be relevant

A grotesque depiction of Captain America by Fujimoto (Chainsaw Man) with a shield as his head and the American star impaling his lower jaw. He walks towards the viewer with blue bloody entrails as the American flag eaves behind him.

I'm sorry that you and your colleagues have to go through that. Here, here's a picture of my pup in a panda costume

Ooof, this explains the whole dilemma

Unfortunately these negotiations came to a sudden and unexpected halt when, earlier this year, we were due to finalize and sign the agreements and….they disappeared. Vanished. Cut off all communication. Refuse to answer emails or calls. Why, you ask. I don’t know why. That’s the point. We simply don’t know what happened or why, but the end result is that we don’t have the rights to make a sequel without this deal in place, thus rendering it effectively dead. I’m sorry. We tried. We really did. And in Chris Figg’s case spent a lot of money on legal fees doing so. We wanted this for you. For all the countless fans who’ve asked for it. But in the end, perhaps it’s just not meant to be. The original film was lightning in a bottle, and perhaps lightning doesn’t, and in some cases shouldn’t, strike twice. So there it is….

I was writing this short story during the Presidential Election to pass off the time, but that didn't last long.

Opening:
We failed the SAT tests and the P.I.C. rounded us up. If we can survive and complete the assignment on Ayad Island within a week, we'll get letters of recommendations to choose the best colleges on the New U.S. mainland. All but I chose Stanford, likely to get a job and residence in New York City.

"I hate the tests," Marcus angrily said. "I hate schools. I just want to kill the bastards down there."

We pretended to not hear him. If he had been quiet, and if he had paid attention back in the class, he wouldn't have snitched himself.

An important reminder about why it’s not worth listening or arguing with people with opposing views

Text from Threads user @likethispodcast:
You’re going to hear a lot of talk about “hearing both sides” and “not cutting people out of because of a difference in beliefs” and “reaching across the aisle.” Here’s the thing though - nah.

Halo 3. My first entry, I played this at my cousin's house during his hs graduation. The game got me hooked with the atmosphere and tone; a year later, I got my first Xbox on my birthday to play it

The cover box of the game, Halo 3. The main character, Master Chief, walks off with his assault rifle with alien wreckage and a beautiful sunset in the background.

Dead authors still curse their works

A yellow background tinged with red at the edges, some fancy illustrative bordering and a realistic skull middle-top. Most of it is taken up by text that reads “write a horror story in six words or less”

I watched the teaser after this and, god, I jut can't

Piglets should look horrific, which is good, I guess

Lion King (2019) was responsible for this

Florida banned 23 books by a horror author who primarily writes horror fiction for decades? Anyway, the state is getting sued by major book publishers www.irishtimes.com/world/us/202...

I spotted these tweets and screenshotted for safekeeping. They will remind me how you can act and sound so smart without providing evidence or lack thereof, even if you claim to be non-biased or have "critical eye"

Tweet: "This scene in particular is a great example of why this character works cuz you could switch her gender and you’d still have a no-nonsense, sardonic but charming and multi-faceted badass . Many modern “girl boss” characters just come off as insecure, unhinged, overcompensating, humorless power fantasies that no one would try to defend if the they were male. Captain Amelia commands respect as opposed to demanding it. I love her and I love this movie."

1st Tweet: "And before anyone accuses me of seeing through nostalgia goggles, I was in my 20s when this came out."

2nd Tweet: "That is to say, I had a more critical eye watching it than if I grew up with it, for those of you who might be a little pedantic about “nostalgia.”"

A good case happens with the creator of Cerebus, the indie comic series. It had a good following up until the early 1990s when the creator wrote misogynistic essays into his OWN comic. The series became bitter towards the end, filled with the author's ideas of religion and culture
