If you were telling me to choose between a Tim Burton, Nick Park, AND a Hayao Miyazaki movie, I’ve would’ve chopped that damn statue into threes.

Am I the only one who wishes that @cartoonsaloon.bsky.social made a movie that stars an ADULT protagonist? I don't mean adult movie, but a PG story where it follows a 35+ older lead? (ex. Soul, The Incredibles, Up)

ALT version.
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel.  To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect.  Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.


This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public. 

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

This is Kane Parsons, the director of the Backrooms. At the age of 16, he created the Backrooms web series that has become a booming phenomenon. Now at the age of 20, he is now directing the movie based on his web series, making him the youngest director at A24.

This merger is bad for New Yorkers three times over. Thousands of jobs at risk here in the city. Streaming bills going up as competition disappears. And two of America's most powerful media companies under one roof, deciding what you watch and what you hear.
Today, as Warner Bros. and Paramount shareholders vote, New York City is on record: this merger should be stopped.

I am not a fan of "remove anything that doesn't further the plot" because sometimes you just need to have the characters take a break to have dinner and talk it might not be directly "furthering the plot" but it *is* enriching the characters

News media outlets should never put their articles locked up behind a paywall. Nobody should be paying a cent from a singular news source. This isn’t a privilege, it should be a right. The people deserves to search for free knowledge and information without sucking up to corporate greed.
