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.

my first of two journal drawings today. i made both small just so i could get ideas and practicing out, as i’m doing a boatload of chores today because i have a busy week ahead of me. i like how this turned out, flaws and all. #journaling #drawing #art

now drawing: minnows

i don’t want to brag or sound overly egotistical, but i think if it came to a knock down, absolute brawl of a fight, i could take on wolverine

If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"

I cannot believe Ari Emanuel would write this and @wsj.com would publish it without disclosing that they are business partners, and Ari’s company TKO got $7 billion from David Ellison’s Paramount for UFC rights. www.wsj.com/opinion/the-...

Lovely. And here’s a few bouquets for you and yours.

Everyone hates it when their opponent just leaves the game before it's over, so I've been trying to find ways to soften the blow a little bit. #fightinggame #gamemaker #indiedev

Batman in The Dark Knight (2008): I have to use mass surveillance tools in order to save Gotham. I struggle with this, but will have to learn to live with my decision. Spider-Man in Brand New Day (2026): I'm scanning the faces of everyone in NYC and IDGAF 🤪😜

i have worked retail and grocery my entire life and can say that this idea is wrong at face value. not only that, but this opinion stinks of classism and bigotry and ignores how the steady dismantling of wages, worker protections, and the social safety net have changed how households shop for goods.

I think my most genuinely unpopular take is that a widely held and genuine consumer preference for cheaper, lower-quality goods, not private equity, is driving the decline in quality of consumer goods like clothing and housewares.

Why the hell is the Mega Man trending topic just full of posts about Amazon? This site is vibe-coded as shit, man

lol, you think those are bad? you should see our state representatives who want to overturn a constitutional amendment to protect abortion that citizens voted for, claw back marijuana access that citizens vote for, open up our state parks and public lands to fracking, allow land developers to build…

People potentially subject to the nyc pied-à-terre tax are being treated with 1% of the administrative hostility of SNAP and Medicaid applicants, and they’re throwing 100x the fit

“. . . renters now need to make more than $24 an hour to rent a two-bedroom unit. The current average wage of renters in Indiana is about $19 an hour. Prosperity Indiana Executive Director Aspen Clemons said that's $5 an hour more than the group calculated in its 2023 report.”

i am consistently impressed how people seemed to get the spectrum to do so much with so very little. even with the color and frame rate limitations, visually speaking some of these games put early dos games to shame.

Hey everyone! @nflspy.com is actively stealing NFL writers work and posting it on their own site. They claim to "cite" the authors, but it's sparse and this is still blatant theft. Please unfollow these clowns if you're following them.

"The [WNBA] cannot apply that standard selectively. If No Space for Hate means what it says, it has to mean all of us — including transgender players, fans, and community members who show up to these games and deserve to be there."
