Business always kicks and screams at any change because what’s working for them now is working. The new thing feels like change for the sake of change.

Businesses can’t lead towards a future because it will never be anything other than more of the same. Like now and how it it’s practically the same social issue conversations as 100 years ago. Business only advances technology - it doesn’t improve life for people.

The TV adaptation of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. The voice acting is incredible and it has the best soundtrack from any media in the last 10 years. It’s a solid show that had virtually no money so they made the most with abstract backgrounds and amazing writing. The show was always under threat of being cancelled and wrapped up so fucking well at the end of season 2 that it was clear the people behind the show knew Disney was stringing them along.

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, a reboot of TMNT that removes the bioscience and introduces Yokai/Yaogwai and magic. It’s the best writing TMNT has ever had across any iteration and is on-par with Futurama with delivering a poignant moment in a cartoon full of solid jokes. The turtles learn about their dads and what family means - it’s got family moments as strong as Stephen Universe. I cannot say enough good stuff about Rise.

Seeing John Cena keep up with comedy heavy weights convinced me that he’s a pretty good actor.

You and the people you know are all in a similar silo of streaming and tech adoption. Ask the mail carrier or barber if they heard of Avatar the cartoon, not the blue people movie.

Young people want their own stuff that they’re growing up with, they don’t want rehashes of the shit their parents obsessed over.

If only children had the perspective to know alternative choices exist and they should hold out for something better. This assumes young people can control the media they are fed. It’s more likely that the generation making content for them confuses nostalgia for childhood and the audience doesn’t like the iterative/derivative product.

Leaving behind pizza bones invites scavengers.

Of the well showed the future of their choices, true love is the only one that has lasting happiness. The spaceship will need maintenance or a spare part that doesn’t exist. The money will be spent and put that person in the sight of predators. The superhero will be expected to use their powers for others and eventually lose their love or compassion for the job as it takes a toll on their mental and emotional help. It only takes one accident to show the flaw in all the choices but true love lasts. He can be on his deathbed and know he will not be alone. She can have the worst day of her life and know there is always someone there to help.

My favorite part of MTG turning on her friends is that it is all in response to being told she won’t be endorsed as a Senate candidate by the GOP. If she can’t have her fiefdom then no one can.

You’re going to park a 12 year old in front of a Feynman lecture? Good luck with retention of the material.

Dear Monty,

Never change.

Love the sentiment. One nitpick is that algorithms are designed to sell ads - they are there to engage a person and keep them engaged. A good algo keeps a user online. A great algo keeps them using without noticing the service, it blends in like a habit.

Algorithms make the tech an addictive drug.

Good. The more red businesses that die the less money that can be funneled to grifters and psychopaths.

Republicans want immigrants as long as they are tied to a visa, which makes the immigrant reliant on their employer to stay in the country. It’s basically a personalized tyranny.

Amazing to see Iowa has such great taste in romance.

Oh, now they’re going to watch it.

For someone passed out they still have good trigger discipline.

“The rich have found a way to make the middle class harvestable as livestock.”

California has far more billionaires than any other state by a large margin. According to Wiki, at under 200, the UK has fewer billionaires than California.

If it was a fair fight they would lose
