I like public radio, joshi wrestling, magic: the gathering, and theme parks. Also production stuff. Not always in that order.

Disney has laid off well over 1,000 workers in three rounds this year and secured more than $45 million in taxpayer-funded credits for upcoming animated films. Today, it reported soaring profits, aided by a $100 million tariff refund. www.cartoonbrew.com/business/dis...

Disney Profits Soar After Layoffs And Millions In Tax Credits

Company shares have also jumped nearly 5% as it added another $1 billion to its stock-buyback plans, surely a major source of comfort to its laid-off workers.

Felt bad, but then I saw that my preferred theme park brand made more money last year via charging people more money last year, and felt good instead. God I love it when the number go up!!

Personal milestone day: Today, my wife and I can drop off the keys and officially close the book on our apartment of 12.5 years. When we first moved in, we were closer to high school than the current present 🫪 While a lot of our time there was a dream, the last year has been a nightmare.

Just saw an ad letting me know that I can preorder “Ultimate Grogu” and man I’m so far behind on Star Wars that I didn’t even realize he went Super Saiyan yet.

Idea for an educational program where instead of paying for AI to do low-value tasks, companies can rent local humans by the hour to do the same tasks, who QA their outputs for free. I call this the Internal Technology and Entertainment Reconciliation Network Program, or IN-TERN Program for short.

The worst thing about working in advertising that is I know exactly what was meant when the ketchup guy was talking about storytelling, and unfortunately, they’re right.

Russell taken out on lap 1, Hamilton ran over a man mid-race… I just need Hadjar to do the Macarena on the podium and my 3-part parlay hits lets GOOOO

2 yards of felt, 16lbs of mass loaded vinyl, 18 square feet of acoustic paneling, and 60 of those click-together puzzle piece drum mats later, and ya boi has an apartment-treated piano.

Moving a bunch of video games, easy. Magic cards, whatever. But I’m 20+ car loads in, and I’m really questioning the whole “room full of records” thing.

“Lift with you knees, not with your back,“ they say. Brother, I blew those suckers out in ‘09 doing alleycat races back in Minneaoplis, what are you even talking about.

Bryce wearing gloves because of the blood and then eating an orange with the bloody gloves is the craziest thing I’ve seen all show

I did this once, but instead gave the team a trolly problem: Save a boy they rescued from a pit fighting ring and walk the desert on foot, or leave him stranded alone in order to catch the train to the big bad. They stranded him, and he came back as an adult a few sessions later to take revenge.

Spice up your next DnD adventure by adding the Quicksilver Triangle. You can make it a montage or 100 sessions long, what do I care.

There are people still on X. That blows my mind. In the year of our lord 2026, there are people posting on the nazi/sex trafficker/child sex’abuse material website because they think it’s helping their business or their brand or their journalism. It’s ridiculous. It’s embarrassing.
