Hear, hear *raises glass* In our case, there were times when we corrected Producers from Cartoon Network's end because their suggestions were out of (current) canon or were actually fan theories. But sure, slop your IP away gang....
I’ll be honest, I do feel a bit silly having spent so many years of my career working hard to honour IP given how quickly all the IP owners are adopting slop and slop based pipelines. I’d have slept better, for sure.
Why is Princess Bride universally loved? It 100% goes all in. It's even still funny, but it respects where its coming from!

Forgotten Island opened this weekend. Many people said the marketing was weak. On my side, I saw plenty of promotions. Did algorithms knew to target me? I am genuinely curious: what sort of marketing would reach you? How do you find out about upcoming projects?
This is great, but also #forgottenisland was fantastic. Funny as heck and a ton of heart. Plus rad to see Philippines mythology shown off
Tayo na! #forgottenisland #raijo

Klobuchar has Schmitt dead to rights: "The game in fact was in Maryland. For a senator to have false information & imply, based on confusion about name of a team, that you were in another city & somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia & call you a 'dirtbag' deserves an apology"
Technology enthusiasts severely overestimate the average person’s desire or willingness or capacity to build and use AI agents. I understand some work roles that could mandate or encourage it but that is no way a tech revolution. Agents are best for structured, clearly delineated tasks.
Fewest women I've ever seen in a single event space, and I cover comic conventions for a living.
