It's darkly funny that Gone With the Wind is also on the woke "no watch" list so that you're supposed to feel guilty for watching the first Oscar-winning performances from both a black man and a black woman

I can’t believe they left Darth Vader, the one black character, off the Star Wars 50th release poster.

The sheer brass neck of Micheál Martin sitting at the EPC top table and lecturing the public about having a "deep understanding of the meaning of community". He actually had the audacity to invoke the sacred Gaelic term "Meitheal", describing neighbours and friends coming together to achieve a shared goal.
The absolute, sickening irony. "Meitheal" is being preached by the exact same Taoiseach whose government has systematically fragmented this country and torn our real, on-the-ground communities asunder.
While he rubs shoulders with Zelenskyy and war hawks, sacrificing what's left of our nation to appease European elites, the actual fabric of Irish society has been actively dismantled by his policies.
There is no 'Meitheal' at that table. It’s just a disconnected political class weaponising our native tongue to gaslight a nation they’ve left behind. Utterly shameless theatre.

Song of the South (80 Today) should be seen because hiding it erases crucial black film history.
Condemning it only punishes the memory of black cinematic pioneers like James Baskett, first black man to win an Oscar, rendering their historic contributions invisible.

To translate this to normal speech, they fired a guy who past 20 years been manually deploying patches to prod and replaced him with AI. AI can't figure out the root password because it's written on sticky note below his desk. They're trying to locate the desk.

I don't like what I see of the EU in Dublin. The community of people's was a great idea, but this constant war-mongering and ignoring the will of the people is very concerning.
Ireland's membership of the European Union began in 1972 when 83% of Irish people voted "yes" to joining the European Communities in a referendum held on 10 May.
You would wonder how many of us would say "yes" today, watching the Government’s betrayal on the Triple-lock and our neutrality.

I've uncovered yet another YouTube Support tactic and figured out the principle behind how these bots operate and refuse to help, all while hiding behind their usual “We're always here for you” act. They have to maintain that image to avoid public backlash when people realize just how unprofessional a company that claims to be a serious corporation actually is.
As you can see from my posts, YouTube recently told me they were working on my case and would get back to me as soon as possible. Of course, I waited two days, and then they came back with the usual “we're sorry,” claiming they had reviewed everything (which I'm 100% certain they did not) and telling me the case was final.
So here's how it works: they send you a message or email saying they're actively working on your case, put you on a 2–3 day waiting period, and then come back with a final decision and a scripted apology. In doing so, they discourage you from contacting them again, while you lose any chance of ever pursuing the same career again, whether as a content creator, an editor, or anything else.
I honestly don't understand where this is all heading, but Neal, you've certainly trained these bots well. Congratulations. That's the only thing I can give you credit for. You've shown everyone just how “powerful” your company really is and how much you supposedly “care” about creators.
You should be ashamed of yourselves. @nealmohan @TeamYouTube @YouTube @YouTubeCreators @FTC
After THREE MONTHS of fighting for our channels, YouTube finally gave me a reason to hope that things might actually get resolved. Unfortunately, that hope didn't last long.
Yesterday, @TeamYouTube told me their Policy team was actively investigating the entire situation and promised to get back to me as soon as they had an update.
Today, they came back with this:
"Our policy team has thoroughly reviewed everything, and unfortunately, the original termination decisions stand and are final."
That's it. Three months of waiting, countless emails, over 900 posts on X, and absolutely NO explanation of what actually happened.
So I asked them some very simple questions:
WHAT exactly did your Policy team review?
What specifically caused each channel's termination?
Most importantly, HOW did my friend's channel, Crypted Realm (@cryptedrealm), violate the Spam/Deceptive Practices policy in the first place?
Which videos, actions, or specific violations justified terminating it?
For context, Crypted Realm was the FIRST channel to be terminated. It was a fan-based channel with around 35 edited podcast Shorts, normal titles, and ordinary comments. I strongly believe it was WRONGFULLY terminated for Spam/Deceptive Practices.
Following that termination, my two monetized YPP channels, Jungle Vision and Cage Snippets, were terminated under Circumvention because YouTube associated them with Crypted Realm.
I understand why YouTube applied the Circumvention policy to my channels based on that association. What I DON'T understand is what my friend supposedly did to deserve the original Spam termination.
I've spent THREE MONTHS reading YouTube's policies, providing explanations, submitting evidence, and trying to understand what we supposedly did wrong.
I'm not asking for special treatment. I'm asking for a CLEAR, SPECIFIC EXPLANATION.
Tell me which content violated the policy. Tell me what activity triggered the termination. Explain exactly what happened.
If the decision is genuinely correct, then explain WHY. I deserve that much as a former YPP creator whose livelihood was taken away.
You promised a thorough investigation. Please show me what was actually investigated instead of giving me another generic response and calling everything FINAL.
THREE MONTHS. Two monetized channels lost. 94K+ subscribers. 190M+ views. And still not a single concrete explanation.
Is this really how YouTube treats its creators?
@TeamYouTube @YouTube
Original channel details :
Channel: Crypted Realm
Handle: @cryptedrealm
URL: youtube.com/channel/UCnvmztr…
@TeamYouTube , please reinstate Crypted Realm as soon as possible. The channel did not violate the Spam/Deceptive Practices policy, and I strongly believe its termination was a mistake. Three months is more than enough. It's time to correct this and restore all the affected channels.
@nealmohan And Neal, instead of posting about the music you're listening to and enjoying the company your AI-driven system has built, maybe you should spend some time looking after the creators who are desperately asking you and your team for help every single day. After all, they're the very people who got you where you are today and made you the kind of money you earn. Maybe it's time to start acting like you care about them.

James Gunn has launched a massive smear campaign against James Gunn and Peter Safran over their brief stint at DC, using the movies and streaming shows they released. This is clear
But these scumbags are LYING, saying that #Superman was a “cultural success” when the DC brand was DESTROYED and yet the film still did no business, received excellent reviews, and turned a profit of about ten bucks. Supergirl really was a flop, though, and #Clayface is going to triple its budget, and it won’t make a profit. #Lanterns was a critical and audience success, becoming one of HBO MAX’s highest-rated shows that never charted on the overall Neilsens. It would be more honorable to say they simply don’t know what the fuck they are doing instead of LYING shamelessly.
Translation fixed.
🚨 David Ellinson e a SKYDANCE começaram uma campanha massiva de destruição de imagem do James Gunn e de Peter Safran em sua breve passagem pela DC, usando a Variety e os demais veículos de mídia, isto está claro
Mas esses vagabundos estão MENTINDO, dizendo que #Superman não foi um “sucesso cultural” sendo que a marca DC estava DESTRUÍDA e mesmo assim o filme fez números bons, ótimas críticas e rendeu lucro. Supergirl foi um fracasso mesmo porém #Clayface vai triplicar o valor de orçamento e estão jurando que não vai lucrar
#Lanterns foi um sucesso de crítica e público se tornando uma das maiores audiências da história da HBO MAX
Seria mais bonito dizer que somente não os querem por não se alinharem aos “valores” da empresa ao invés de MENTIR descaradamente

PlayStation has won a spot in an Australian consumer group’s “Hall of Shame” for making players pay for games they don’t actually own.
Consumer group Choice has criticised Sony’s digital game policy, pointing out that buying a game on the PlayStation Store doesn’t mean you own it. You’re only buying a licence to access it, which Sony can revoke.
The group also warns that this could become a much bigger problem if physical games disappear.
“There won’t be any alternatives once the discs go away.”

If you didn’t already know I dropped in with @dhewlett for a visit yesterday. We talked for 2.5 hours-which is basically 7 in normal talk-speed metrics (don’t watch it at x2 speed-your head may explode) ❤️
