“In the instance of mass harassment and bullying, it's not really consoling to know there's a silent majority supporting you.”
So, this is actually a REALLY GOOD deal if you have even a minor interest toward YouTube premium because Peacock has an actually good lineup but it's very overpriced for a network-premium streamer. NBCUniversal is... being very canny lately. Things are happening 🤔
The VergeYouTube Premium will include Peacock starting next year
this is one of the ways in which I think the modern publishing environment, which requires the vast majority of authors to do all of their own promotional work, has been incredibly damaging "I got canceled on social media" can be a real career-ruining thing! it's not irrational to worry about it!
jawless-fishtheres this one tumblr post ive seen talking about that phenomenon but w fiction writing that I think about often
Just a vent from someone whose art was stolen, credits ignored, and who became an 'unauthorized' public domain victim. These are dark times indeed You can check the original stuff here. Cheers www.artstation.com/artwork/ZLR5X

Discussions about the sheriff's race in the upcoming election in the local "progressive" moms Facebook group "Well I'm not voting for either because ACAB" THE POSITION OF SHERIFF IS STILL GOING TO EXIST WHETHER YOU VOTE OR NOT SO HOW 'BOUT YOU HELP US PICK THE LEAST BAD CANDIDATE, ALLISON.
It's impossible to exonerate the internet, and social media in particular here. It allowed for the efficient networking and ratcheting-up of our worst impulses at unbelievable speed and scale. In-group/out-group dynamics are as old as the hills, but social media is a particle accelerator for them.
CalliopeMore to the point, this is happening in *non-white* countries as well: Japan, Turkey, and India have huge far-right nativist blocs. So it's not merely white supremacy or nostalgia for the days when the West ruled. Nor is it happening purely in developed post-material countries.
This used to be the function of critics (for everything) but it's REALLY difficult for useful versions of it to exist when the only version of the form 90% of people are going to seek out is "Tell me in one sentence or better yet A NUMBER whether to spend money!" and you saw it maybe 10 hours ago 🤷♂️
Your good friend, Chris NormalI don't want to expose too much of myself here, but I think sometimes forming your own opinion on a movie can be incredibly isolating and ultimately, there are thousands upon thousands of people that are completely unequipped to handle that.
I worked at Disney a while ago. Do you know why theme parks are so safe? Because OOSHA reps can walk the track on any ride at any time and any safety violation they see is a $10,000 fine. Each. Theme parks are not safe because the company cares. They're safe because it's cheaper to comply.
Jon of The NorthTurns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.
Exactly - and I do think it’s pretty repugnant that so many PRC apologists who claim to care about global indigenous rights either don’t know about or don’t care about the opinions of the indigenous people of Taiwan.
Wallet Inspector MetaBlueSky ♨️It presumably also infected them because it says 'we all live in America' and the Western Left uncritically really does think and act like that. That Taiwan is very loosely more like the US annexation of Hawai'i down to Austronesian indigenous cultures and Japanese intrigue would blow their minds.
If you establish things are always very bad and never change you also establish that you personally have no obligation to do anything about it but retain the right to posture as very smart for realising it
Widow's Bay DSAThere’s a kind of guy on social media who acts like you’re a moron for believing in gradations. You say we’re teetering on fascism, they go “umm we were founded on genocide” You say Musk is having a racist breakdown they go “umm he was always racist” Truthers for the concept of things getting worse.
Equal rights and basic protections the people of this country fought over decades to gain are being bulldozed in record time, and these people just respond with "Things were ALWAYS bad. lol" You're actually blind if you don't think things now aren't substantially worse now than even 10 years ago.

Y'know what though, good for him. Right on. Leguizamo is one of the BEST and most versatile actors of his generation, Hollywood has never used him to his full potential, he earned this and more. Now get this man some Awards Gold for "THE ODYSSEY"
Cosmic MarvelJohn Leguizamo says voicing Sid in the ‘ICE AGE’ franchise allowed him to fully embrace his comedic side, paid his bills, bought him two houses and covered his children’s college education. (via Entertainment Tonight)
There are a BUNCH of ways that Nintendo and Miyamoto are, legitimately, a little too rigid in their thinking. But overall, especially here, he's more right than almost anyone else in the business at any level. When he decides to stop, I fear there may not be another like him again.
VGCShigeru Miyamoto says the games that resonate most with players all around the world aren’t those deliberately designed for global appeal, but those based on a developer’s personal interests. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/miyamot...
I definitely remember people in animation complaining about projects headed by live-action TV writers because they weren't experienced with the animation pipeline and it's kind of funny that there are now projects headed by famous youtubers who are not experienced with the TV industry at all
really something to see tech YouTuber types calmly discussing the latest Tesla or SpaceX business news without once mentioning Elon’s 50 Day of the Rope posts per day or his murdering 700,000+ people
Sunder Katwala (sundersays)X owner Elon Musk indicates he would prioritise political violence (assassination of pro-migration politicians is the common sense meaning) over violence against "invaders" (refugees, asylum seekers, maybe ethnic minorities generally) while endorsing call for violence (killing) against both groups
Alright so when *is* this election in *Michigan or wherever, exactly? Because this isn't fun or uplifting like the New York mayor thing, this is just depressing and irritating and neither of these people are likely to end up weighing on the national picture. I'm sick of hearing about it 🤷♂️
