had this pulled up for my freelancing guide how topical indeed
I really hate the “I don’t owe anyone anything” mentality because we actually owe each other and this planet a lot. You don’t have to be selfless all the time or burn yourself out but you should be kind and helpful and compassionate to the best of your ability. We need to care about each other more
TCAF 2026 was one for the books: 32,000+ attendees, 475+ exhibitors, 150+ volunteers, 70+ hours of free programming, and countless new comics friendships made 💛 Read our recap for an inside look at the numbers, highlights, and community that made it happen: www.torontocomics.com/post/tcaf-20...
Subscriber engagement down with @netflix.com ?! Its almost like they create these amazing, diverse, actually interesting shows (KAOS, The Residence, Boots, I Am Not Okay With This, Sense8, Teenage Bounty Hunters, etc.) that their subscribers fall in love with and then cancel them after one season.
TV writers were right in 2023 and are being proven more right every day — there was a stable television model that made everyone lots of money and put out good shows. Then execs with no understanding of the industry confused the production model and the distribution model, and they blew it all up.
"executives with no understanding of the industry" seems to be an endemic problem across industries: higher education, medicine, you name it, a bunch of suits with MBAs and unearned arrogance are destroying everything around us, and for some reason, we're supposed to accept that they know best

haha, thats a great post. unfortunately you phrased it in a way that allowed me, a moron, to misunderstand it
"Instead, the ninth console generation will be defined by corporate greed, mismanagement, and anti-consumer practices that could very well alter the course of the games industry itself." Well said. They are destroying their own industry.

Sure is a shame that the people who control wealth are total dumbasses disconnected from reality. Would be funnier if they didn't create an unfathomable surveillance network and condemn all our natural resources in the service of their evil and foolish decisions.
Somehow the C-suites that collect unfathomable consumer and worker data to drive their decision-making & who have stolen every written word to train LLMs couldn't predict this situation. Wow. It's almost like being a grifter doesn't make you immune from the grift.
Sources and leaks from Amazon, Adobe, Atlassian, Citi, and more show what is really happening with AI right now: companies are trying to rein in AI use as costs spiral out of control. @evystadium.bsky.social has more. @josephcox.bsky.social story: www.404media.co/companies-ar...
Blaming decline in support for LGBTQ existence on use the word “queer” rather then, oh, I dunno, a well-documented, concerted and broad-based Christian Nationalist movement emboldened to remake all aspects of society seems .. misplaced.
Ending the Pride month strong, New York Times!
I’ve been conducting an anthropological study of the groups of people at Hanlan’s Beach (clothing optional), a scientific study about queer social grouping; crosses various cultural identity lines and body types: -twinks and twink-adjacents -alternative bears and their admirers -packs of otters
When the credits for #Leviticus rolled, I thought, "That was a good film!" Maybe not revolutionary, but solid, especially for a directorial debut. Then the images of this queer horror inspired by conversion therapy haunted the rest of my day. michaellyonswrites.wordpress.com/2026/06/28/b... #review
