Clownfish TV Podcasts

Nintendo and Amazon have a strained relationship because Amazon asked Nintendo to engage in price fixing, which would've violated the Sherman Act and could've landed execs from both companies in big, big trouble. This is according to former Nintendo CEO Reggie Fils-Aimé, and it totally explains why Nintendo products aren't always on Amazon.

BlueSky and Twitter/X might merge soon?! No, Elon Musk hasn't talked about buying BlueSky (yet) but a law is being proposed in the EU that would put all American social media platforms under uniform control. This includes making X adhere to BlueSky's moderation sensibilities. Good luck with that...

There's a Reddit rumor that Sony is swooping in to save Doctor Who after dumped the show during Russel T Davies disastrous second run. But there's a catch -- if Sony does reboot the long-running BBC series, it wants to COMPLETELY REBOOT Doctor Who because it's beyond saving at this point. But would audiences go for it?

A class-action lawsuit have been filed in California on behalf of triggered CNN viewers who are worried that Paramount buying Warner Bros. would lead to a lack of "diversity of viewpoints" in the news media. You know, it's not like we had a bunch of "diversity" in views for the last decade or so...

They're rebooting The Blair Witch Project... for a younger, modern audience. Translation: For Gen Z. So we can only imagine what this movie will be like. Also getting a reboot? Casper. So let's talk about the 90s getting rebooted and why it's a bad idea that probably will not work.

Spirit Airlines is DONE. The budget airline suddenly shut down last night after its second bankruptcy in a year didn't result in a bailout. Now customers are stranded and wondering how to get their tickets refunded. So let's talk about how to do just that.

New 2027 automobiles will need to have dashcams installed that watch to make sure you're not driving under the influence. And if the car thinks you are? It gets locked. But we know this in vehicle surveillance won't stop there. Let's talk about the increased lack of privacy in our own homes and now vehicles.

When people don't care about comic books, they don't care about news about comic books. Comic book industry news media is all but dead. Newsarama is being shut down completely, and most other sites that covered comics have branched out into other pop culture. What's left of comic journalism has mostly migrated to podcasts and YouTube. Again, this isn't a good sign about the state of the American comic book industry.

He-Man creator Roger Sweet dead at 91 -- the Mattel toy designer who bulked up a Big Jim figure into the musclebound barbarian that launched the entire Masters of the Universe empire back in 1982 just passed peacefully at a care facility after a long battle with dementia. Yeah the guy who got a bonus check and zero royalties while his creation printed billions for the company had fans scrambling a GoFundMe to cover his final months.

This AI-generated MAGA influencer scam is next-level clown world -- some 22-year-old Indian med student straight-up built "Emily Hart," a blonde Jennifer Lawrence-lookalike nurse who ice-fished, shot guns, chugged Coors Light, and spammed posts that racked up millions of views and thousands of simping followers for easy thousands a month. Yeah the guy admitted the MAGA crowd was a "cheat code" because they showered cash while his test liberal version flopped instantly since Democrats spotted the AI slop right away -- accounts got banned for fraud after Wired dropped the bomb but the internet's still roasting everyone who fell for the robot grift.

Adding insult to injury, Meta is reportedly making some of their their laid off Facebook employees train the AI replacing them on the way out. Even to a guy like me, that's COLD, Zuckerberg.

Most game studios are secretly hooked on AI -- a Google Cloud exec just flat-out admitted nine out of ten devs are already using generative tools in their pipelines for everything from brainstorming pebbles in Capcom worlds to QA bots and asset upscaling, yet almost nobody discloses it because the second they do the internet torches them for "AI slop" and Steam review-bombs kick in. Yeah after years of public hand-wringing and "we're experimenting" statements the real numbers show 50%+ of studios and thousands of shipped games quietly lean on it for the boring grunt work while pretending their final product is pure human magic -- classic industry move of chasing faster and cheaper while hoping the backlash stays aimed at the indie guys who actually admit it.

Sony reportedly will lock some digital PS5 games if you don't connect your console to the internet for more than 30 days. Gamers are FURIOUS. However, a Sony customer service rep claims that is not actually the case but... people are PROVING it's true.
