So heads up - WB/Skydance/Kinney National/whoever just threw down a global block on the Animaniacs POTW video. I’ve been traveling all day so I haven’t been able to address it yet - I’m probably just gonna leave the block be and upload it to Internet Archive and/or Patreon.

it cannot actually be ignored or danced around that the closure of BioWare came so soon after the Saudi and Jared Kushner acquisition of EA. they absolutely did take the studio making EA’s broadly queerest games out back and shoot it old yeller style. do not let yourself or colleagues ignore that

When This Shit Ends, we should really look into doing something about these giant companies that own all of local media. I know things like “transgender for everybody” and “firing Elon into the sun” are priorities, but that should be on the list.

This real person, solar_espeon, is a desperate and under-employed trans woman who's trying to make rent with gig work. She's burning out and PTO is not a thing. Her site evens the playing field of pinball knowledge, and she's never monetized it. There are no ads, no sponsored content, ever.

So anyway here's what happens if a liberal party gets away with transphobia
Joelle was admitted to the Wolverhampton NHS Trust suffering from an aggressive but highly treatable form of lymphoma. Although a bed was initially available on the cancer ward, hospital staff moved her to an isolated side room upon realizing she was a trans woman.
Joelle and her family explicitly pleaded with hospital staff to place her on either a standard male or female ward so that she could immediately start emergency treatment. However. adherence to recent policies regarding single-sex hospital spaces meant she was kept waiting for a separate single- occupancy room. She spent 16 days in isolation without appropriate cancer pain management or chemotherapy. By the time emergency chemotherapy was finally administered, her condition had deteriorated severely, and she tragically passed away
The Trans Legal Clinic is pursuing two primary legal routes:
An Article 2 Inquest: To force a formal investigation into the systemic NHS guidance failures and administrative delays that directly contributed to her death
Clinical Negligence Claim: To demand formal accountability from the specific trust involved for failing to manage her pain and delay vital emergency treatment.

I genuinely am baffled as to why they're even going forward with a PlayStation 6 or an Xbox Whatever The Fuck. The current consoles have been out for six years and it *just* now feels like we're getting one game that justifies them (GTA6). Like... what are we doing

The announcer for PHL 17 here in Philly from 1988 to 1990 has one of the more unique voices I've ever heard from a voiceover guy. Very old-timey radio in a way that network booth announcers weren't. Still haven't found a name, though... (Original from Joe's Video Archives - youtu.be/pbeu8Cik4gE)

Honestly the only other TV announcer I've seen with that type of voice are these "coming up next" bits from American Movie Classics featuring a fake radio announcer... and yes, that *is* JK Simmons as the radio announcer (original by Matt Hinrichs - www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVq5...)

So this is a *really* interesting piece from 2006 on KYW CBS 3 about gender affirming surgeries. It's surprisingly respectful for 2006, even if there's a distinct "lookit the freaks" vibe. Would NOT be handled the same way now. Original by Joe's Video Archives - youtu.be/pdvaI2Eqvcc

Fun story: Phil Roman, the main director at Lee Mendelson/Bill Melendez Productions, decided to leave and form his own studio. On the way out, Mendelson basically gave him the Garfield rights as a parting gift, because Charles Schulz didn't want Melendez doing them anymore.

Do you want to see the somewhat problematic lyrics to the Garfield rap? Yes you do
Chorus
When I'm around
Women make a beeline
When they catch sight of this classy feline
Saturday night I pick up my date
That's the time we must celebrate
Some guys are trouble, some guys are fun I'm Michael Jackson all rolled into one
She has more fun than she's ever known
Still, she'll yearn for that moment alone That's the moment that goes to the heart
Then I smell something and quickly depart
What's so important
I'll leave her with ease?
Homemade lasagna with plenty of cheese
This is the end of The Garfield Rap
Now pass me a pillow, it's time for my nap
