Looking for feedback - positive or constructive criticism for this idea I had

do you think there should be an holographic side?

Shall I change the colours?

Should I line the warners?

Should I add my usual texture to the image?

anything else you may think

Please share this around so more people see it, I’ve never done a kickstarter before but I think this would be a good experience and I really want to raise money for a charity

Translation: Now that we might actually lose Captain Marvel, the very same trolls (See competitors like Warner Bros Discovery, Sony Pictures and Paramount) are now whining about its demise and attempting to shame Marvel over it. I guess now that it seems the coup against the Disney board and Bob Iger is failing, these assholes are now realizing the money they could count on, for the actors they handle are drying up... because of them. Nice to finally admit that no, there was never anything wrong with the character and especially the first movie. It wasn't 'woke' as they kept screaming. It's perfectly fine to express frustration in how you're treated by the opposite sex. How many fucking Whine fests do we put up with about men who hate their mothers? About every other Ari Aster film, that's how much.

The other tell that this is coming from asshole competitors is the *YAWN!* obsession in pushing Wanda Maximoff. Better make that BRITISH ASSHOLE COMPETITORS.

Say no to the WBD-Paramount merger. Pass it on.

Disney, Netflix, Paramount, Comcast, Warner Bros. Discovery, Sony, Meta and more media companies have confirmed they will cover travel costs for employees seeking abortions following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade.

Disney reached out to employees on Friday to stress that they recognize the “impact” of the Supreme Court’s decision and “remain committed to providing comprehensive access to quality and affordable care” for all Disney employees and their families, which includes family planning and reproductive care, “no matter where they live,” an internal source told Variety. For Disney employees unable to access a medical service, including abortions, in one location, they have a travel benefit that allows for “affordable coverage for receiving similar levels of care in another location.”

A Netflix spokesperson told Variety: “Netflix offers a travel reimbursement coverage for full-time U.S. employees and their dependents who need to travel for cancer treatment, transplants, gender affirming care, or abortion — through our U.S. health plans. This is a $10,000 lifetime allowance per employee and/or their dependents per service.”

In light of the Supreme Court decision, Warner Bros. Discovery has expanded its “healthcare benefits options to cover transportation expenses for employees and their covered family members who need to travel to access abortion and reproductive care,” a spokesperson said. The company’s chief people and culture officer, Adria Alpert Romm, said in a memo: “Our number one priority is the wellbeing, health and safety of our employees.”

Variety has confirmed that Comcast has a travel benefit that covers Comcast and NBC Universal employees’ medical services and procedures that aren’t available near an employee’s home.

Paramount Global CEO Bob Bakish and Chief People Officer Nancy Phillips sent a memo to staff on Friday, obtained by Variety, confirming the company’s intentions to cover travel costs for employees seeking abortions, writing, “Reproductive health care through company-sponsored health insurance, including coverage for birth control, elective abortion care, miscarriage care and certain related travel expenses if the covered health service, such as abortion, is prohibited in your area.”

A Meta spokesperson said: “We intend to offer travel expense reimbursements, to the extent permitted by law, for employees who will need them to access out-of-state health care and reproductive services. We are in the process of assessing how best to do so given the legal complexities involved.”

Sony employees in the U.S. receive reimbursement for travel if it’s required to access healthcare services available under its health plan, which includes reproductive healthcare, a source has confirmed. "Sony Music Group and Live Nation are known to have insurance policies that provide reimbursement for travel if it is required to access healthcare services, including reproductive healthcare services."

The Sundance Film Festival and the Sundance Institute, which are based in Utah, announced several weeks ago that they augmented its healthcare benefits to include covering travel expenses for services not available where they reside. Utah is one of the states expected to implement abortion bans following the Court decision.

BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti told staffers: “Effective immediately, we will provide a stipend for anyone residing in the 13 states with triggering abortion ending laws to cover the cost for travel and expenses required for access to safe abortion. The process around this will be completely confidential.”

Condé Nast CEO Roger Lynch said in a note to his staff on Friday that the company has “made enhancements to our U.S. health benefits to assist covered employees and their covered dependents in obtaining access to reproductive care regardless of where they reside. Employees who need abortion, infertility or gender-affirming services who cannot obtain that care locally are now eligible for reimbursement on travel and lodging.”

Earlier Friday, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, effectively ending federal protections of abortion rights. The final opinion, written by Justice Samuel Alito, fully repudiates the 1973 decision which guaranteed federal constitutional protections of abortion rights. It also effectively strikes down the 1992 decision in Planned Parenthood v. Casey that largely maintained the right established in Roe.

Variety has reached out to additional Hollywood studios and media companies, but has not yet heard back. Some companies who did respond to a request for comment, such as Amazon and Lionsgate, said they did not have a statement at this time.

Here’s the Paramount Global memo in full:

Team,

We know that many of us have been closely following the news regarding the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs, which struck down Roe v. Wade and repealed constitutional protections for abortion. Across the country, we have entered a moment of profound uncertainty – from a legal and a policy perspective, as states pursue different paths regarding reproductive rights, but also on a personal level, as we try to understand what services will be accessible, when, where, and to whom.

In the face of this uncertainty, we want to be very clear about what will not change at Paramount.

First, as a community: wherever we stand on this or any other difficult issue, we will continue to treat one another with empathy and respect.

And second, as a company: Paramount will support – as we always have – the choices our employees make about their own health care. This includes the reproductive health and family-building benefits* that help make our company a welcoming place to work. A few benefits I’d like to highlight include:

Reproductive health care through company-sponsored health insurance, including coverage for birth control, elective abortion care, miscarriage care and certain related travel expenses if the covered health service, such as abortion, is prohibited in your area.

Fertility and family building support through Progyny including coverage for IVF, egg freezing and other fertility treatments and services and reimbursement of up to $30,000 for adoption or surrogacy expenses.

Free access to Health Advocate, a confidential service to help you and your family find medical providers, resolve health insurance issues and navigate the healthcare system.

Up to 18 weeks of paid parental leave for a delivering parent (includes 6 weeks of Short Term Disability), up to 12 weeks of paid leave for adoption care or foster care and up to 10 days of paid bereavement leave including pregnancy loss.

24/7 lactation support, including milk shipping for traveling employees, through LifeCare.

Free access to a dedicated behavior expert for support raising children with developmental disabilities or learning, social or behavioral challenges.

We encourage you to visit the Paramount Total Rewards portal for additional details, including parenting information on the Family Planning Resources page. If you have questions about your benefit eligibility, please email the Paramount HR Employee Support Team at AskHR@viacomcbs.com.

We also understand that some reproductive health care events and decisions can be particularly challenging, so we want to remind everyone of our professional counseling and other mental health services, available 24/7, through our CCA Employee Assistance Program (Company Code: paramount).

All these resources are here for you and your loved ones. We encourage you to explore your options and take advantage of what’s available in order to make the medical decisions that best suit your needs. As ever, we are here to support all members of our community––and will give you and others the space to process this news.

Best,

Bob & Nancy

*Please note that you must be in an eligible employee classification for each of the benefits noted; employees whose employment is governed by a collective bargaining agreement are eligible for benefits under that agreement.

Looking Into 2024

2023 is coming to an end,so I would like to tell you 20 different things, the good and the bad

The Good

Chang'e lunar sample will return mission 6. The first crewed flight of NASA's Orion spacecraft 7. Indonesia gets a new capital city 8. Paris hosts the summer Olympics 9. The Lion King will turn 30. 10. The Incredibles will turn 20.

The Bad

(Let's stop The Simpsons' Trump wins 2024 from coming true!) 3. There will be AI news anchors on television. (News anchors are getting lazy.) 4. The DVD will become obsolete. 5. The Doomsday Clock will tick closer to midnight. 6. Global carbon emissions will increase. 7. Average world temperatures will increase relative to 2023. 8.

Let me tell you about “The abridged history of Disney, 2015–2040 AD“

It’s written by the Polygon founder Chris Plante, and it’s predicting the future! https://www.theverge.com/2015/8/17/9127249/future-of-disney-marvel-star-wars

Is this blurry set image proof that Doctor Strange will appear in Avengers: Infinity War? - Dr. Strange appeared in Avengers Infinity War

The Verge is hiring: Disney reporters wanted! - It predicted Frozen II

Star Wars: Episode VIII review: like my favorite Breaking Bad episodes... but in space! - The Last Jedi just got released in theaters

Why Toy Story 4 is the best Toy Story yet: an explainer - Yes, Toy Story 4 is the best!

Wreck-It-Ralph 2 review: Like video games, the sequel is better than the original - It predicted Ralph Breaks The Internet.

Toy Story 4 wins best picture, beating Joss Whedon's Richard III - It won the Oscar but there was no Joss Whedon's Richard III

The new Han Solo movie is good, but not as good as this Harrison Ford shirtless scene from Working Girl - It was released in theaters, but it was a bomb.

Cars 3 review: Now that I have kids, I guess these movies are good? - Cars 3 is the best out of the Cars trilogy.

Avengers: Infinity War - Part 2 breaks box office record  - Avengers: Infinity War - Part 2 beat out Avatar, but then Avatar retook the position.

Breaking: Marvel confirms Black Panther 2, Thunderbolts, more Ant-Man for Phase 4 films - This one did predict Black Panther 2′s release date for 2022

Star Wars Episode IX review: The Return of the Jedi of this generation - We sure got that one

Disney launches streaming service Disneywhere, removes all films and shows from streaming competitors - That didn’t happen, but we got Disney+

Marvel's horrible box office on downward trend in one graph - Some Marvel movies were bombing during the Coronavirus 2019 pandemic.

Live-action Mulan is single bright spot in bad year for Disney - It was a bright spot on Disney+

Disney acquires Fox, reclaiming X-Men and Fantastic Four - This has already happened, but I don’t want Disney to own the Matt Groening shows, the Seth MacFarlane shows, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Malcolm in the Middle, Thumbelina, A Troll in Central Park, Anastasia, Titan AE, the Blue Sky Studios catalog, the film rights to Alvin and the Chipmunks, the film rights to Diary of a Wimpy Kid, The Pagemaster, and maybe the Night at the Museum trilogy anymore.

Stop what you're doing and listen to Blue Ivy's mega hit, "I Am Destiny's Child" - This has predicted a sequel to the Mulan remake.

You’re thinking this is a joke, but it’s serious, Disney will buy Sony, Universal, and Warner Bros., resulting in no competition. Also, Disney will make some artificial lifeforms that might eat us, so tell them no!

If you really want a good future, read here https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/29/media-mergers-whos-next-.html In fact, Disney should merge with AMC Networks, and Comcast should merge with Lionsgate, but Warner Bros. Discovery shouldn’t merge with Paramount Global.

Update: Disney missed the mark on buying Sony on March 3, 2023, but we can not let Disney acquire Sony.

[classic-nicktoon-pictures]

April 8th is coming

April 8th is coming, and I have to tell you that Paramount Global has to be sold in pieces. Most of it can go to Skydance, some can got to Apollo, and CBS Entertainment Group, (Except CBS Studios) can go to Warner Bros. Discovery. (That way, it can save competition.)

It's Scientology: Life After A Cult morning recap. The gang had a hugely positive get together down in Clearwater, Pasadena Scientology is in hot water with the local Fire department, and more drama at the Chicago Scientology org.

Good Natalie Webster talks about and confirms that the Cult of #Scientology has engaged in widespread abuse of men, women and most especially children. They have kidnapped children away from their families through forced separation, using them for Labor. This evil crap has been going on for decades in our supposedly Democratic country; not one finger lifted by the government to stop this. EVIL.
