Gotta love how people are making it seem like movie theaters are “taking a stand against the MCU” here when in reality it’s because IMAX already had a deal with WB for Dune before Marvels was moved to November. Nobody cares about the truth when the lie gets you more Likes and RTs

Seeing a lot of misinfo that the X logo was taken from a Unicode character; not true sadly. I hate to say it but it’s actually quite well designed, let me break down why 🧵 (1/X)

Preaching to the choir I know, but if you are tired of the BIG 2 short shotting women's matches...WATCH @IMPACTWRESTLING . They give the women time, 2-3 matches per week and sometimes they even main event the show. STOP LOLing Impact it's better than you think

If they were truly about it, they would be giving Impact their due for doing right by women for just under or over a decade now.
Impact has had women headlining their PPVs and weekly shows for some time now, but nobody's trying to have that chat. 🤓

Why are we not hearing about the studios / streamers suing large video generative #AI companies and making them delete their training sets because their copyrighted films/series are in there?
Because they want it to get out of control. The reason? 1/

Disney+ removed both seasons of a show I’d staffed on from the platform, ensuring that I’ll never make another dollar in residuals from it, or be able to watch it again.
Mind you, the show gave them 11 Emmy Noms last year.
What’s “realistic” about that?
Disney CEO Bob Iger says the writers and actors going on strike in Hollywood are not being “realistic” with their expectations: "It's very disturbing to me." variety.com/2023/tv/news/bob…

It’s the modern white supremacist flag.

Whenever a male celebrity is accused of abuse, other male celebrities go out of their way to support them and it doesn’t hurt their image. It’s so easy for men — and many women — to support alleged abusers, BECAUSE it’s popular, it upholds the status quo, and helps men advance

There will never be another cult classic. If your movie or show underperforms, it will be removed from sight, and that eventual groundswell of support that's turned everything from Blade Runner to Heathers from disastrous flops to huge successes will never find it. The end.

Elon Musk's tenure at Twitter is like a heckler at a comedy show who got a few yuks from his pals, thought he was funnier than the comic and demanded the mic, was allowed up on stage and allotted an hour of time, then proceeded to bomb so hard it put the venue out of business.

Every one of these shit decisions was essentially predestined the moment Trump won in 2016. Anyone paying attention knew we were fucked for decades from that moment. Luke Crywalker was right to cry.

In 2016, some said it didn't matter who won the race between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
Now in 2023, we've lost the right to abortion, affirmative action, LGBTQ rights, and student loan debt relief.
Don't listen to those people ever again. Elections have consequences.
