The Oscars only on streaming is quite a change... but at least it'll be on a free service (YouTube). Given a number of Hollywood producers/directors still look down on television as a "poor cousin," wonder what they make of this...

Sure New Year's Eve IMO is boring, but it's also got the least flaws: it's festive; not patriotic; not religious; doesn't annoy religious people; not tied to a specific group (besides "those using the Gregorian calendar" I guess); not commercialized; and no dark aspects (drinking concerns aside).

2025-11-27 18:59:27 UTC

Re: Thanksgiving's lesser aspects: Again, every holiday has some flaw to it. Almost all of them are: solemn/serious; patriotic; region/country-specific; religious; annoy religious people; for specific groups; or have a dark historical aspect.
Thus, the least flawed holiday might be New Year's Eve?

Spent (or wasted) time making custom Jellyfin images for the media libraries. (I found a website that creates Jellyfin thumbnails.) Thought having consistent and custom images would be nicer than whatever random film is chosen by Jellyfin as a thumbnail.
The results. I couldn't think of a cartoon-related "Movies" image, at least for now.

A repost per the Gulf/Calendar nonsense...
Since a complete boycott of Google isn't feasible for most people (if nothing else, YouTube's de facto video monopoly), I'd focus on finding alternatives to or minimizing the following Google services: Search; Chrome; Gmail; Drive; Photos; Docs; and Android. These would cover most of Google’s concerns re: privacy, AI, etc.

This is exactly the sort of thing I was worried about post-Trump win: studios gerting more conservative about anything for kids with LGBTQ content. It's bad enough Moon Girl's been canceled (and given Disney's treatment of TV animation, the odds of it getting a DVD release is probably near zero.)...

Still can't believe AI is now considered browser/text editor level basic infrastructure on every major operating system besides Linux. Despite the ecological harm, lack of compensation to writers/artists, lack of real demand outside Wall Street/some tech circles, and the results being poorly written text/ugly artwork?
