One animator put it plainly: “You have no idea how frustrating it is to see press release after press release touting how much money our animated film made and how many nominations we got; then [the studio] turns to people who have worked here forever and says, ‘We don’t need you anymore.’” Heh.

Hollywood Can’t Survive Without Animation. So Why Won’t the Industry Respect It?

Animated films made billions in 2026 while Pixar and Netflix cut jobs. Inside animation's paradox and its long shut-out from the best picture race.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

seeing this happen in real time is a trip to a lot of people, being "good" means being as cruel and ruthlessly evil to "bad" people as you can, and the more you hurt them, the more "good" you are. If you get branded "bad", "good" people will dox you, slander you, try to get you to kermit

a large number of people are drawn to online leftism not for any reason of empathy or compassion but because they want a clique to belong to and to be told who to hate.

Hold on. We the taxpayers are going to pay companies $900 million, which is more than 6x what we spend on wind power R&D, to NOT build wind power at a time when electricity prices are spiking and we need more clean power?

The Trump administration has announced two more payouts for energy companies to walk away from U.S. offshore wind projects under development.

So excited to announce/soft launch a graphic novel I’ve been working on! The character of Neuro was originally invented for a TTRPG back in 2020 and has since been reincarnated into a separate narrative.

We are so far beyond even Teapot Dome levels of "government captured by private industry" in this country, and Democrats genuinely seem to believe their unpopularity is driven by being too nice to trans people, instead of being driven by their screamingly obvious hypocrisy about this.

This infuriating attitude shows up on the bookshelves in learning environments, too. We expect girls to empathize with boys, but we kneecap every opportunity to let boys empathize with girls. And look where we are.

ToonHive@toonhive.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Pixar’s scrapped film ‘BE FRI’ reportedly had a similar tone to ‘KPop Demon Hunters.’ A former staffer claims Disney felt “little boys couldn’t see themselves in it,” allegedly saying, “We can’t have a girl power movie.”

The Treasury just declared the U.S. insolvent. The media missed it

The Government Accountability Office can't even verify the books. Here's what Congress must do.

This framing is appalling and, importantly, just fucking wrong - "just $1" is $1 too much, because the charges are illegitimate - it is not illegal in Georgia to induce one's own abortion, so I don't know what "illegal abortion" the AP (or the prosecutors) are talking about here

The Associated Press@apnews.com · 4mo ago

A Georgia judge granted a bond of just $1 for a murder charge faced by a woman accused by police of taking pills to induce an illegal abortion.

Small note. Mass layoffs like these are also a tactic to devalue the work because workers become more desperate while companies create false scarcity. Do not, ever, forget your worth. Don’t let them win. You make this industry exist. They don’t.

The people who cancelled Jimmy Kimmel after Charlie Kirk's assassination will now control television stations that reach 80% of Americans, twice that what was legally allowed before Trump's takeover. The state capture of network television is almost complete.

The Trump administration has approved the acquisition of 9NEWS' parent company, TEGNA, by Fox31's parent company, Nexstar. Nexstar issued a statement praising President Trump, who says the deal will "help knock out the Fake News." Nexstar has declared itself "the anti-fake news"
