Poor Netflix…
/sarc
Without Netflix, there would have been neither Blue Eye Samurai nor Arcane. And the world would be less awesome for it.
Blue Eye Samurai and Arcane were great, and you didn’t mention Danjon Meshi, which is very disappointing.
But I don’t think that anyone can deny that Netflix getting into independent production hasn’t been great for the media ecosystem as a whole.
I haven’t watched that, but it’s not just the animated series. Sturgeon’s law applies to Netflix too, but I remember very much enjoying Suburra, and quite a few other shows that were just as good as BSG, by which I mean they started off great and completely fell to shit. The most recent being Monsters of Krakow.
But again, that’s completely non-unique as far as media production goes.
They never had a future as a distributor of other people’s IP, once the studios decided they wanted that revenue stream for themselves.
They need more Obama and Markle content …
WTF?
lolbigot
It is pretty amazing to see. During the middle of any dramatic scene on a Netflix series, all the characters have to talk about their fears and sexuality, then have a group make out session. Who writes that?
Every distributer wants to be a producer. Every producer wants to be a distributer. It makes for a siloed environment.
Not even just Netflix.
Watched Scream 7 and while I appreciate the wink to the audience, there were moments like what R.J mentioned (minus making out) where trauma needed to be addressed and “I see you” statements made….in a slasher film
The Duffer Brothers?
I think Top Gun Maverick was the last film I saw that didn’t have a dollop of woke in it. Everything else since 2020 has something that was woke and made it ridiculous.
UnCiv: a good mnemonic is that the Japanese “no” can be replaced by “‘s” and the word order makes sense.
Nezumi no ken = rat’s sword or sword of rat.
Shichinin no Samurai?
I spent way too much time trying to make a joke off that.
Today isn’t starting so well.
Oopsie.
The business model for some of these AI companies is just wishful thinking.
Internet 3.0?
The business model is to attract tons of venture capital funding, which they’ve all been successful at doing.
It’s a (((plot))) to build Flock’s panopticon infrastructure on the cheap. Once the bubble pops, all those data centers will be bought at fire sale prices and repurposed to keep the adenochrome cattle under control.
I see NA is following some of the same SubStack accounts that show up on my Notes feed.
Is there nothing climate change can’t do? This time, it’s sorcery allegations in Papua New Guinea.

Bonus: Women hardest hit!
Can they do housework or bicycle delivery? Might be worth handing out a few hundred thousand green cards. We can hand-wave away the sorcery accusation-related violence.
Same group that asked that also wants to know “Does extreme rainfall trigger tribal violence in PNG?”
Sounds like they are the ones engaged in sorcery.
Elissa Slotkin is just pivoting from military members to a softer target.
Okay, scheduled email about yesterday’s snafu sending in 3min to assuage things and give slight info on my conundrum, which was really a silly and thoughtless, late-day mistake. I hope it goes well and have no reason to believe otherwise, as everything really is going okay other than handling too many new tasks at once.
Onward and up, y’all, and take it to the hoop.

She’s wearing a fake wooden chest plate with monkeys? Make clothes out of cloth.
Relevant
She looks like a RealDoll.
Jeez, did you see his tuxedo? WTF is going in with that collar and those pants?
When you’re that rich, it’s whateverTF they want to be going on.
“We are themakers of fashion.”

Would. And sounds like she’s single. But probably on the wrong side of the hot / crazy line.
“Released by the group We-Consent — a project of the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre which is supported by government agencies — the 25-second public service announcement boldly declares: “Not everyone wants a hug. Even from the people who love them.”
“Awkward? Maybe. Important? Absolutely,” the campaign adds.
The video features one grandchild happily hugging their grandparents, while another appears uncomfortable as her grandparents lean in for an embrace.”

OFFS!
Its the old whites that are sexually abusing family members of mixed race dontchaknow
Hugging your grandkids can turn them into rapists.
Better to sniff their hair instead.
I support this, I hate hugging.
I came here to say this.
^^^Found the autists!
OMWC has a sad.
“Modern Times Café, a Minneapolis restaurant that attempted to eliminate prices, has announced it will be closing for good by the end of the year….
“The only way for places like Modern Times to exist in the future is to actively challenge the reasons why it can no longer exist,” Alverson wrote.
Alverson announced on Instagram in January that his business, which rebranded as Post Modern Times, would operate as a “free and donation-based restaurant” where everyone would be welcome “except ICE” in protest of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations happening in his state, partly in response to the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.”

Why do woke commutards keep trying this?
Because they’re functionally and economically retarded?
They should partner with someone who needs to launder money.
Not sure how successful they will be as a money laundering front since they have no, you know, income.
I don’t know how ICE will recover.
