RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

The only reason the New York Times is shaming Israel is because it's keeping them from access, which is the same reason they went fucking nuclear on Biden. There are no ethics here, only self-interested bastards.

If he means Bsky is intolerant of his bullshit, he undoubtedly got more hate on Twitter. Everyone was their angriest self on Twitter. What he means is that he doesn't get the accompanying signal boost that Twitter gave him that made saying inflammatory things socially profitable

I don't know what specific traits he's referring to, I do agree that there are things about Bluesky progressives that are annoying (and so do you, most of you have complained about it), but every aspect Nate could conceivably be referring to was infinitely worse on Twitter

Part of the reason im convinced so many US news publications are primarily ideological, rather than "motivated by ratings/clicks" is so few have pushed back in any way whatsoever against X and Meta throttling outgoing links.

It not only reeks of a bankruptcy of creativity on the part of these overpaid media executives, but it's also a slap in the face to the animation industry and the creators of these hit project because this is the media industry saying, "You're okay, but cartoons suck, but thanks for the new ideas."
Jeff Harris (@nemalki.bsky.social) reposted
For the sake of sanity, can we as a society please stop having the kneejerk reaction of wanting to create a live-action version of a successful project that was originally animated? The fact that it was originally animated & successful is proof that animation is actually a great storytelling medium.

I'm probably never going to be hired by Marvel again due to pointing this out, but anything produced by AI is stolen work. It is utilizing existing art without credit or payment. Google is scraping the hard work of creative professionals and remixing it.

Marvel wasn't seeing a dime from me outside of Ultimates, and it seems that will continue to be the case. "I know this is dangerous, but look how quirky this is 🤪" is a piss poor take from one of your lead editors and shows zero commitment to defend the artists you're working with. Shame and ugly.
