She didn't quite set the whole house on fire by not retiring like RBG did but your point still stands. But hey, we keep voting for them so we deserve what we get.

The right-wing was so upset about Disney’s woke Snow White, that they made their own.

Bruh. Gonna laugh if Doomsday cancels Disney+ and forces his kids to watch Bentkey. And yes, I watched the whole video. Great stuff.

If I even think about cancelling Bluey on Disney+ I'm taking my life into my own hands.
That said, whatever that service is their original content can't be worse than Disney's.

Doesn't Disney only have like 3 seasons of bluey?
Aren't there 13 total?
You could buy the three cheap and easy and there's no risk of death and the kids are none the wiser of the continuing adventures of... Bluey.

Yeah but if I cancel D+ how else am I going to watch the new Snow White? Bentkey has a generic puppet show and an exercise program. I’m sure those are harmless. But they also have a cartoon about homeschooled children that get a “real education”, a series in which important people in history are explored, and of course, the unwoke Snow White feature length film. Only $99 for a whole year. I don’t know what Doomsday is waiting for.

If I even think about cancelling Bluey on Disney+ I'm taking my life into my own hands. theguardian.com/culture/2023/oct/17/is-new-kids-show-chip-chilla-a-blatant-bluey-knock-off-for-conservativesIs new kids’ show Chip Chilla a ‘blatant Bluey knock-off’ for conservatives?The show has been launched by a US rightwing media brand as a means to ‘challenge the left’. It looks … familiarThe Daily Wire, the US conservative media brand founded by political commentator Ben Shapiro and film-maker Jeremy Boreing, has branched out into kids’ entertainment with a new subscription streaming app called Bentkey. Their aim is to get ’em while they’re young, claw back some ground from “the left” and counter Disney’s stranglehold. “We have to challenge the left every single place that it lives,” Boreing declared last year, when the Daily Wire announced it was investing US$100m into creating a children’s platform. One of Bentkey’s four original series is Chip Chilla: an animated show about a family of chinchillas who are homeschooled by their parents, voiced by embattled former-Broadway actor Laura Osnes, and actor and culture war warrior Rob Schneider. The pastel colour palette bears a resemblance to a certain beloved Australian animated preschool series, and the three kids and parents in the series engage in elaborate role play. You’ll notice the music in the teaser also rings distinct Bluey bells. People are calling this a ‘blatant Bluey knockoff’. Are the characters dogs, like in Bluey?Well, chinchillas are actually furry rodents native to South America. But there’s nothing vaguely Latino about the American-accented characters in Chip Chilla, who – in the six episodes I watched – inhabit a very wholesome, heteronormative, patriotic slice of US suburbia. As one commentator on X noted: “The first Daily Wire cartoon show looks like it will finally answer the question ‘What if Bluey sucked?’” Bluey has been praised for being as moving and meaningful for parents as for kids – and, importantly, for being funny. From the six episodes I’ve watched, I can say the worst sin Chip Chilla commits is to be a bit dull, at least for this adult. If its mission is, as suspected, to take Bluey’s winning formula and put a conservative wash on it, it’s subtle. Take gender roles, for instance. While Chilli, the mother in Bluey, is engaged outside the home with work, the father, Bandit, is an active and relatively equal caregiver to the two kids. The parents in Chip Chilla, meanwhile, embody more traditional roles: the mother, Chinny (voiced by Osnes), does a lot of the feeding, nurturing and affection-giving, while the distinctly alpha father Chum Chum (Schneider) leads the charge (while Chinny assists) in teaching topics such as Frankenstein, the Three Musketeers and America’s heroic role in the moon landing. Like Bandit in Bluey, Chum Chum is a highly engaged and creative father, but his style does sometimes verge on the mansplain-y; you certainly couldn’t imagine him shopping for psyllium husks or being hungover. Chip Chilla opens with the oldest child, a girl named Charla, cooking breakfast. “You’re becoming quite the chef,” coos her proud mother. “Gonna put me out of a job!” (Chum Chum spends most of this scene at the table, hiding behind his newspaper.) In the fourth episode of Chip Chilla, in which the kids and parents try swapping roles for the day, the children come to the conclusion that being a parent is hard. “But Mom says she wouldn’t trade it for the world,” the middle child, Chip, says. Have the team behind Bluey said anything? A spokeswoman for the ABC said Ludo Studios, the Brisbane-based production company behind Bluey, would “respectfully decline” to comment for now.

Doomsday SnoBorderZeroDracula’s boy Biden catching strays due in part to the 1998 Will Smith/Gene Hackman classic Enemy of the State. https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/17z08yu/enemy_of_the_states_plot_is_literally_the_patriot/ In 1995, Senator Joe Biden introduced the Omnibus Counter-Terrorism Act, which contained many of the provisions that eventually wound up in the PATRIOT Act. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnibus_Counterterrorism_Act_of_1995The bill drew a lot of the same criticism that PATRIOT did later. It was part of how the PATRIOT Act was written so quickly, and Biden even took credit for it www.buzzfeednews.com/article/andrewkaczynski/surveillance-joeAlso, in 1994, Senator Biden introduced the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, which put all the digital wiretaps in place www.wired.com/1996/02/digitel/These legislative developments took place in the middle of the Clipper Chip fiasco, where the federal government wanted to digitize and backdoor all telephones en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipper_chipAt the time, encryption was regulated like a munition, and the government wanted to maintain a monopoly on strong crypto en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretty_Good_Privacy#Criminal_investigationSo, yeah, in the late 90's, this stuff was on a lot of people's minds.
