Actress who was famously dragged for being unable to act pretends starring in an AI movie was about "getting with the times" and not the only way she can give a performance.

really wish that instead of inventing a chatbot that could talk you into killing yourself, we'd spent some of the last decade grappling with the complicated tangle of digital ownership.

Some sad news: Will Murray, who along with Steve Ditko co-created Squirrel Girl, has passed away. I corresponded with him but never had the chance to meet him in person. He was always open and generous with me, the new guy writing Doreen. 🌰🐿️ www.marvel.com/articles/com...

I'm certain that the rich have decided to kill half of us and part of this strategy is to keep us from breeding.

"Hello, sexual d*gen*rate. It is is us, the media that recently pushed a black neurodivergent academic to suicide, tried enflaming public opinion into saying ADHD isnt real and actively attacks trans peoples rights weekly Would you like to talk to us on camera about your lecherous sexual activity?"

Like imagine if JK Rowling wasn't honoring Jeffery Epstein's request to spread transphobia. She could literally invite herself to fans houses and just buy dinner and hang out. She could go to any pub and drink with every person there. But no, she wants to hire security.

Dolly Parton is the example of what happens when a rich person realizes they can do SO MUCH CHARITY and still be rich. And realizes they can basically be invited everywhere they go, if they just don't want to play on the pedophile and child eating island.

Every time a brown person makes a point, there's a white person who cannot figure it out. Who demands someone explain what their point is. You have all the evidence to see what I'm doing, just not the intelligence.

See, sometimes you have to cut bait. You didn't defend Biden, you proved my point. And for holding onto your need to win, you just made yourself into an incest defender for a war criminal. So bitch is an upgrade Felipe the incest defender for a genocidal war criminal.

Like when do you believe victims? In their private diary meant to be seen by no one or the public disavowing? To make an accusation you need a motive. What motive does she have to lie to herself in secret about sexual abuse from her father? Meanwhile what motive does she have to protect her dad?

Knowing all the details of Joe Biden showering with his daughter and not changing your position shows who you are, a bitch. You didn't explain what the right context of showering with your teenage daughter are, and you glided over the 8 rape accusations against Biden. You just defended him.

Everyone in the world said "Yes, I condemn Hamas. Sure. Easily." But people who are like "Oh, all killing bad" "Oh, the whole situation is just crazy." They'll never say "Denying food and baby formula to a whole ethnic group is horrible."

Laika of Space @laikaofspace.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
And it's so weird to me to go like "You haven't talked to me. You haven't condemned the massacres of my people or talked to me or liked my posts or anything. Like I know who goes silent after Oct. 7th, and it's people who like dead Muslims." And it's like "Oh, happy wedding." Still no genocide bad.

Laika of Space @laikaofspace.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
But white people are entitled to apolitical existence which is a hyper political stance of privilege demands silence and diminishing of importance of the issues of the marginalized. And they want it to be seen as "normal." Which is a huge psychopathic ask.

But like, just pay the bot farm. Buy the ads. Don't make me mute our chat to avoid the ads. If you have Palestinian friends and you haven't checked in since Oct 7th, or showed you donated, or done something to show support for Palestine, you don't have Palestinian friends.

Laika of Space @laikaofspace.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
And they're like "Oh, um, congratulations on the wedding." And I'm like, see? I invited you to my wedding. You can't say "Hey, here's my new project. Enjoy" or "What's going on?" Or even send me another TikTok I'd enjoy. Even one that takes swipes at me is fine. It shows I exist.

Laika of Space @laikaofspace.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
Now, mind you, one or two is fine. But it's been like 5 weeks of their own TikToks, so I'm like, "Hey, where's the ad blocker here?" I tried explaining that's it's dehumanizing to neglect our friendship for so long and without a single word just farm clicks from me.

Laika of Space @laikaofspace.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
A few friends at the same time decided to start using DMs as ads and sending me ads. And I was like "How does my family get butchered for years in Palestine and the first message I see from you posting your own fucking TikTok video?" And they're like "Where is the politics coming from?"

Butthead says "Dammit Beavis, Huhuhuh." We see a an urn positioned next to him on the couch labelled "Remains of Beavis." Butthead holds it up and cries saying "I miss him every day." He presses the urn to his cheek as tears stream down his faces and laughs "Huhuhuh huhuhuh.

Do you understand how many people would be out of poverty if instead of enduring the wrongdoing of your ancestors their ancestors killed yours at the first offense? When the first world talks about peace, they mean victims should endure in silence.

You understand that as the colonizer of the world, England of course is teaching you that no amount of violence done to others justifies counter-violence. You're not being a good person with this. Just horribly on the side of people with guilty consciences because...British.

Laika of Space @laikaofspace.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
I won't speak on British politics, but um, of course ethics works in that at a point a person deserves violence if they do enough violence. If I murdered someone every day, at a certain point confining me or killing me is the anti-violence stance.

...caught up to us. And we were seeing ourselves in marriage counseling just when we thought we moved beyond being these two characters. But I've been kicked out of Zootopia groups because I talked about race and BLM and they said I was "making Zootopia political" fans just want "OWO what's this?"

Laika of Space @laikaofspace.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
And on the screen we don't like imperfect relationships or ones that don't make sense. We don't think that people settle for other people based on time spent, trauma, etc. So you want to fix it. My partner and I worked through a lot of these issues, then saw Zootopia 2 and these animals...

Laika of Space @laikaofspace.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
So real dynamics that are interesting and relatable for some relationships, but very valid if you don't ship them because it's toxic as all get out. But it's good for Zootopia because of the themes of everyone has biases and you have to work through them or hurt those you care about.

Laika of Space @laikaofspace.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
Obviously not all white people, but when a white person hasn't come to terms with their own education in white supremacy (bc it's optional) the way most people of color are forced to at a younger age (I came late to this party) then these dynamics affect their dating And this is who Judy is, page 1
110
Laika of Space @laikaofspace.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
Nick gets respectability from Judy, but what Judy gets from Nick is...basically slavability racism. The fetishization of getting minorities to do labor for you, sometimes under protest or against their will or at risk of life and limb. These are real dynamics of dating white people, but not great.
110
Laika of Space @laikaofspace.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
If Judy loses focus on Nick he'll get wandering eyes to protect himself and could be picked up by another racialized person who deeply understands his experience rather than superficially understands and uses Nick as a means to an end. Which is part of their dynamic.
110
Laika of Space @laikaofspace.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
It's weird because Judy doesn't have the home life to validate that attachment insecurity. Her home is smothering rather than abusive or withholding of validation. So their relationship is held together with spit and tape. If Judy becomes less racially insecure, she may lose her need of Nick.
110
Laika of Space @laikaofspace.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
There's another unhealthy aspect of Judy and Nick only working because Nick is attachment avoidant, and Judy is attachment insecure. Nick likes that Judy doesn't abandon him no matter how many times he wants to abandon her, until he finds he can't let that type of person go.
110
Laika of Space @laikaofspace.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
And the reason I went for it was simply the other person was interested and we had proximity. So I understand why Nick is going for someone who is completely out of his world just because of proximity and reciprocated feelings and trauma bonding.
110
Laika of Space @laikaofspace.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
But part of the issue with Zootopia's romance is that none of them seem to have a sense of lack that is satisfied by the other person. So how that plays out is just Judy seeming like the white person dating to prove something to themselves. I've been that brown person to a few racist white people.

Laika of Space @laikaofspace.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
Where Zootopia gets its accuracy to chemistry is that there's tons of storyboard artists of diverse backgrounds working on it. But it's ultimately script driven by a white writer and white director with white leads for a billion dollar family-friendly white supremacist conglomerate.
110
Laika of Space @laikaofspace.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
They do have a real dynamic (though not ideal), but the difficulty of a non-racist, but white supremacy enculturated partner is kind of beyond the reading level of most people who fandom cartoons My hot take is maybe a white guy & Zionist woman shouldn't be the lead actors for the chemistry to work

Laika of Space @laikaofspace.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
I'll say I'm in a Judy Hopps/Nick Wilde relationship, so much so that watching the film created an uncomfortable conversation. Because there is an unhealthy dynamic between them, and I think the fandom really doesn't understand the complexities of intercultural relationships.

On top of that this can create easy lighting for parking lots while also reducing light pollution for the night sky. Motion sensor lights would increase safety and reduce lighting at night. It's the least car-centric businesses could do. Also the businesses sell electricity to the grid.

Love and Tolerate was just a phrased that was used to moderate spaces and not from the show. But Lauren Faust had a chance to decolonize and teach liberation ideology to the audiences and skipped GamerGate. Some people say that expectation is "Too much." Put me in coach I'll show you how easy it is

Society is building its mythos around one of the most corrupt and racist industries and then expecting that to hold. Compromised people cannot build an ethos that does more than just be performative. How many bronies turned Nazi? Some of my friends did, & I thought how many of them could FiM saved?

Laika of Space @laikaofspace.bsky.social · 09/08/2026
We're giving all this control over the modern mythos of a society and it's to people who speak one language, are comfortable around one race of people, and cannot integrate their own writer's rooms. Lauren Faust had a blank check and didn't hire a single writer of color for FiM. Don't make her god.

...that you can't destroy religion because religion is an athropological if not animalistic drive and so if you destroy religion, you're just going to find yourself in an abundance of what you hate about religion. Because religions around for thousands of years are more tested than Gooseworx.

That's why there's like warring factions on interpretations on whether Jax is trans when the show basically said that in a microcosm of showing how people will literally distort a text just to decide they want to hate a group. I don't understand how there isn't enough evidence to show antitheists..

Laika of Space @laikaofspace.bsky.social · 09/08/2026
The most obnoxious part about fandom is that you could literally just gather and organize people. It's just easier if you have a shared interest and agreed upon activity. But then people are like "This is sacred!" Like, this is what religion is for. Like actually. Fandom fills the role of religion

Even worse that transphobe supports a genocidal regime that regularly destroys actual people's graves and actual holy sites thousands of years old. So the idea we cannot save the planet because of the historical significance of an arbitrary filming location 15 years ago is insane.

The Eliza Effect actually shows how it doesn't matter. We were always going to empathize with AI. Humans do that even knowing the trick behind the curtains. It's a human instinct to anthropomorphize. Some adults are forgetting how they treated a stuffed toy.

Like the Epstein shit Trump engaged in is far worse than Joe Biden showering inappropriately with his daughter at an inappropriate age and also the 8 women who accused Joe Biden of rape. If you want to weigh two evils, you need to actually put the fucking evil on the scale, Felipe, you petty bitch.
