After a 15-month delay for the extra work, "Elio" tested slightly better than it had originally. The 2025 release was Pixar's biggest flop, losing Disney more than $100 million.

Well good thing it was WORTH IT!!!!! Phew!!!!!!!!!!!

My ugly child just found out what gay people are from a cartoon and he needs THERAPY!!!! If I have to have a single conversation with my child I'm going to CUT MY OWN HEAD OFF

we bag on the boomers a lot, but they dealt with their mid-life crisis in a good and normal way (buying a red sports car and having an affair with their secretary) whereas Gen X is all "maybe this next genocide will finally make them bring back the square spongebread cafeteria pizza"

Are We in a ‘Smut Renaissance’?

Sure, we're in a "smut renaissance," but maybe you've noticed we're also in a Christian Nationalist censorship regime that is trying to restrict the internet. (Might be worth mentioning!)

These aren't unrelated. As "hardcore" is demonized and erased, social acceptance of "softcore" rises.

All Green Line passengers brace for the catastrophic surface train vs street traffic incidents these will be causing

Way too many Jalens in the NBA

Like a lot of things rich guys believe and fund, the AI consciousness thing is in part driven by a desire to abscond from the responsibility of what they've made. It also explains why so many of them think we're in a simulation. Doesn't matter if everybody died if we're all just 1s and 0s baby!

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.
