Friendly reminder (since Joe here needs one), people called for a boycott because:
1) Several actors from the previous films were fired for voicing support for Palestine
2) The producers were doing a cross promotion with Meta, a genAI company
He's only getting worse

And I suppose firing your cast for supporting Palestine, and doing a cross promotion with Meta are just "politics we should check"?
There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today.
I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand.
There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.
One upside to getting older, disdain for Valentines Day tends to just become indifference.
Think I might go out for a nice dinner later.

Abolish ICE.
There’s no reforming it.
There’s no compromise.
There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.
Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."
After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc
Fucking Monday night, surprise wind storm already icing up the roads, and STILL people need to rush to fill the theater to capacity.
I have no sympathy for any of these dicks who crash on the way home.
Bad news: Someone puked in the bathroom at work
Good news: The kept it confined to the sink
Work place hired five extra people this week in anticipation for Wicked. Almost all of them have since been fired for not showing up at all for work.
It should not be controversial to say that people who defend sex traffickers should be fed into a wood chipper.

Picked up an old podcast where one of the hosts did the whole "everyone was a shitty person 15 years ago" apologetic, and I'm reminded why I stopped listening.
Word of advice: Even if you don't think the Graham Platner issue was relevant, you still look bad by trying to downplay the matter.
Found a "Debate Me" Bro, please save yourself a headache
This is dangerous advice bc once you learn how to draw, everyone you knew in high school will ask you to draw them and extended family you barely know will ask for logos for their side hustles.
Unfortunately I suspect as union activity gains momentum and popular support in this broken industry we will continue to see studios ramp up their union busting efforts.
Be smart: practice good infosec, read up on typical union-busting tactics, and most importantly: don’t let them scare you.
Rest in Peace Peter Watkins, a criminally underwatched genius filmmaker.
1. You can't even get hot food on SNAP, much less use it for nails or "weave". It doesn't work like a credit card. Items that do not qualify do not ring up.
2. Let's call a spade a spade. That right there was not a dog whistle. It is old school pure uncut Reagan era racism. What he said was RACIST.
I’m pleased to announce that following our reporting, multiple people have reported that a formal inquiry is being made into SEGM’s accreditation, and that the CME courses are at least temporarily pulled down.
You can fight against Nazis and still be evil in your own way.
Take Winston Churchill and Harry S. Truman, for example.
Stalin was still evil.
Tankies live in a whole other world.
Lesson learned: playing Smash Bros while high is... not a good combo
Share a favorite black and white movie
Wasn't the "Strange Planet" cartoonist anti-choice or some shit? Feels like people just moved on from that without another word
"Don't say guilty pleasure, say favorite trashy picks!"
Yeah, and then in a few years, you'll be saying it's demeaning to call any movie 'trash' if it brings you joy.
