Breaking my twitter fast to think of God's Strongest Neoliberal Solider informing me I must hate diversity if I have issues with Disney's monopoly. Meanwhile the post flop messaging seems to be "It's our fault for giving a job to a Black woman who couldn't do it."

Bob Iger blames the underperformance of ‘THE MARVELS’ on the large volume of content making it difficult for execs to supervise.
“‘The Marvels’ was shot during COVID, and there wasn't enough supervision on set [from execs]”

Just thinking of logging on every day to suck the Walt Disney Corporation's cock until it shines like the top of the Chrysler building and for what? Don't ever love something that's never going to love you back. I still don't get why people get so pissy when you point that out.

"Corporations are not your friend" isn't even Left 101 it's something so painfully obvious it used to be taken for granted. The soft narcotic of neoliberalism is a hell of a drug. The idea that you can ever make yourself a pal of capitalism, instead of it's product, or mark.

I think all the time about the person who nailed Netflix's house style with "The budget is 300 million dollars, but you can only spend it at Party City."

Disney is absolutely going to try to push through the strike on AI scripts. Uncle Walt lives on in the company's absolute disdain for having to treat its workers fairly.

A bunch of new diverse shows, and most of them promptly cancelled at the end of the second, or first, season, and now some are getting purged off servers full stop. Not even sold to Tubi.

One of the great triumphs of late capitalism was getting consumers to root for and side with corporations over individual artists and workers.

It will never not surprise me when nominal lefties get steamed when I say the utterly boilerplate Left 101 things like "corporations are not your friends." You're just a walking piggy baggy for them to shake the coins out of and move on.
