No, that doesn’t normally happen in the fields of print or visual media. You’re upfront pay is paltry compared to residuals. That’s how these creators actually survive month to month. Zazlov saying, fuck ya’ll, is hugely different than the norm, hence the blowback, from creators, from shareholders, and the resultant…

I can testify that Infinity Train is definitely work checking out. 

jesus, I thought the way Disney treated Alex Hirsch and Dana Terrace was bad, but this shit is unbelievable. if we had an industry wide reckoning on the way animators and VFX artists are treated today, it’d still be about 20 years too late

I don’t keep up with a lot of animated series, especially these sorts marketed toward the young teen/young adult range, but this slash and burn fiasco has piqued my interest a little. What are some of the better ones that would be worthwhile to find online and archive?

I saw a thing on Twitter where somebody who used to work at Discovery said this isn’t unusual for Zaslav, but he never got much blowback because the people watching those reality shows don’t talk much about them on social media. Except animation, particularly from a storied studio as Warner Bros and a channel like…

Fuck these people. Infinity Train is a modern day classic. This doesn't take into account the adult swim shit that was dropped. 

Heres the funny thing, and by funny I mean cruel irony.  The book that's exclusively about The Dance of the Dragons, Fire and Blood, is incomplete.  Part 1 is done but part 2 isn't.  There is a general overview of the event in World of Ice and Fire but it's not as in depth as Fire and Blood.

I think it’s less (at least for me) that I’m bothered by her going full mad queen then the fact that it was done so abruptly. I agree she always had the makings of the next mad queen but at the time in the show she wasn’t even close to there yet. It needed AT LEAST another 2 seasons of her rule to let the slow descent…

It wasn’t a total disaster, so that’s a plus. The money is on the screen, and they are taking it seriously. But I’m not sure what to make of it just yet. House of the Dragon looks like GoT, and sounds like GoT, but doesn’t quite feel like GoT to me. It took half the episode before I could shake the sense I was…

I’ll give it a chance. I liked the premiere well enough but I have to agree that there aren’t really any stand out characters here. I guess you could say Daemon and Rhaenyra are but my initial reaction is they just feel like stand-ins for Rhaegar and Daenerys. One’s a slimy creep with no with ambitions but no patience…

“I just hope they don’t make it creepy between them.”

A perfectly acceptable, if not at times, galvanizing prologue. As Jenna mentioned in this recap, the cross-cutting between the jousting and the Targaryen Cesarian was brutal and effective elevating the pathos at hand.

The photo in this article is probably the most normal looking one of him I have ever seen.

The New York Times, coming in through the window: Here’s why this is terrible news for Joe Biden.

Just some information to put context behind this story; I was never actually SWATed, but I did go through a 7 year campaign of stalking and harassment over criticism of a Kickstarter scam game, Shroud of the Avatar, which included SWAT threats, 3 days before the fatal SWATing in Wichita, which lead to Reddit having to…

It is very funny to lose a court case, appeal and then have the appellate judge basically say “you should have lost harder.”

No matter what, HE’S my Vash the Stampede!

Why should she be the one required to go offline? What you’re suggesting is that the shitty transphobes should be allowed to decide who gets to be online.

To be fair to Jaden Smith. Its was pretty clear that his dad was forcing him into acting and he just was not into it(or just not good at it). He is definitely talented as a musician and seems to have found his calling there.  I wouldn’t put him past coming back to acting at some point but if he does I suspect it will…
