Are we finally getting a proper Justice Gang, I mean, Justice League movie soon? I sure hope so. I want to see my favourite DC character Green Lantern in action (the other ones are The Flash and Supergirl).

@foxmental.bsky.social And this universe is 13.79 billion years old.

That's a very, very ancient explosion and light.

A friendly tip to #Android developers: If you want to pull out a new release, you need to repackage the previous version as a new release. Android lacks a downgrade mechanism. You'll be forcing your users to reinstall otherwise.

- v1.0.0 > 1.1.0 (fail) > 1.1.1 (originally v1.0.0)

If a show is tackling social issues = cancelled because no one wants to watch it or "critiques" always find something to whine about.

If it's only about entertainment, it gets high ratings and "critiques" praise it to the heavens = more seasons even if it gets repetitive or recycling previous seasons.

But, you gotta follow what audiences want because they're the ones who bring in the money. It's not the authors/writers, it's audiences.

Even in #Kdrama land, it used to be filled with high quality plots. But the past two years, it's being overtaken by "what audiences want" instead of "what stories authors want to share".

Just look at the webtoon and manga industry, these are the common plots:
1. Prince charming or Princess beauty underdog found the love of their life
2. Some Earthling was reincarnated or transported into another world, if it's a guy, he'll have teenage girls harem. If it's a girl, wait, that plot doesn't exist.
3. Earth mysteriously enters into some galactic survival game, and towers or dungeons starts spawning

These stories are getting live-action and/or anime adaptations a lot the past few years.

Gone are the years where we had Bleach, Angelic Layer, Cardcaptor Sakura, Fushigi Yūgi, X, Fringe, 12 Monkeys, Person of Interest, Farscape, StarGate, Andromeda, Earth Final Conflict, Highlander, Meteor Garden, Crest/Banner of the Stars, GateKeepers, Boys Be, Dual, Serial Experiments Lain, Escaflowne, You're Under Arrest, Elementary, the first 3 seasons of The Flash, and so on.

🤯

I just discovered the #TV series #TheNevers. The premiere episode was good, and it's set in the Victorian era which I really like.

Sadly, only 12 episodes because it was cancelled.

Why is it good shows get cancelled and garbage ones get multiple seasons these days? 🤪 The 20s is really bad for series productions, eh?

Producers: This is our proposal.
Network executives: We love it, let's go for it.

* 4 episodes later *

Network executive 1: Let's cancel. Audiences these days don't like good shows.
Executive 2: We need to fill the slot.
Exec 1: Let's order another season of that garbage show with a garbage plot.
Exec 3: You mean {show_title_here}?
Exec 4: Yes, I agree. It's getting high ratings in many countries too.

People who loves garbage plots: You execs and writers are boomers. If you can't catch up with the times, time to sleep. No one wants to watch stories with moral lessons, or some deep resounding topic that pierces souls. All we want today are pure entertainment for the sake of entertainment in whatever form it might take.

@ezra Same with mobile numbers. So many services we have no choice but to use that requires a stable mobile number.

No portability. We're all trapped. If we lose our number or email, we might as well get a new legal identity so we can start fresh.

These same people, ironically, will not complain about how a guy collecting his harem very common in webtoons, mangas, manhwas, and anime.

Why? Because they're "drawings" and it bothers them if it's live-action?

2025 is the year when audiences complained, no, whined a lot about "age gaps".

1. Between actors
2. Between characters
3. FICTION
4. The actors and characters are legally adults
5. It's not uncommon in the culture the show or movie was set on

Is there a secret group controlling what's to complain about annually? 🤣🤣

@LangerJan @alltrek Ahh, and they probably recruited (or forced?) the humans they encountered to join them.

*sigh* I wish they explored this one more. I love those episodes where there were some Earthling colonies elsewhere no one knew about, like the one in Voyager, a planet of former abducted humans, and a planet of reptilian Earthlings who left Earth. I think TNG also had one, right? Earthling humans who were randomly transported by a random portal that led to a single planet.

In any case, maybe I'm the only interested what's the story behind those 7,000 souls and their ways. LOL. Even the Klingons know them. Looks like they've explored farther than the UFP if they're the stuff of legends already.

I thought nothing can top #100PoemsForStella ( #IsangDaangTulaParaKayStella ) but I was wrong!

Welcome my new Number 1 #Pdrama #Pmovie = #MyFutureYou (2024) from Regal Entertainment.

1. S03E06 was touching.
2. The moment they showed the scavenger spacesuit headgear, I knew they're humans.
3. Then the scavenger didn't shoot. Definitely human.
4. Then the red blood. HUMAN!

The "7,000" crew, LOL, that's a very nice touch. It was an exact number, they didn't say approximately.

However, it was definitely a sad and touching episode. I think I ranm this the best since S01E01 so far.

Lesson here: COMMUNICATION.

But in fairness, something happened to that crew for them to become like that. Destroying worlds and ships without warning. Something broke them to the point that it made them see the rest of the universe as an enemy.

IF ONLY the scavengers have scanning technology they would've known the two ships have humans.

But alas, their journey ends.

The #Philippines and #Japan Defense Pact goes into effect this coming September 11.

https://apnews.com/article/japan-philippines-reciprocal-access-agreement-0e37d57563d475d7507f1647b440e4c2

An indirect message that the Philippines and Japan had enough of the "East China Sea" and "South China Sea" issues, and will start working closer together.

One step closer to the ultimate goal: a tight-knit alliance between the Philippines, Japan, and South #Korea . This beneficial not just to our countries, but to the entire Pacific-Asia region, perhaps even the larger Asia-Pacific region.

Senator Imee Marcos filed a bill in 2023 to extend these.

- Author-owned: lifetime + 70 years (aligned with the US, EU, Australia, Japan, Korea)
- Entity-owned: 70 years FROM first publication
- Anonymous / pseudonymous (not revealed): 70 years FROM first publication
- Unpublished: 70 years FROM first creation
- Applied art: 50 years FROM first publication

But, unfortunately, it still is pending in the Senate and there is no equivalent bill in the lower house. 🤷🏽

Oh, and by the way, if you're publishing in the Philippines or a Citizen of the Philippines, it's 50 years across the board except for "applied art" which is only 25 years.

- Author-owned: lifetime + 50 years
- Entity-owned: 50 years FROM first publication
- Anonymous & pseudonymous (not revealed): 50 years FROM first publication
- Unpublished: 50 years FROM first creation
- Applied art: 25 years FROM first publication

Unless I missed something.

@tokyo_0 Yep. A private account or a followers-only post should be seen if they reply to someone else's post or tag them.

If I'm not mistaken, that's how it works in Facebook. If you tag someone in a friends or followers only post, they can see and reply to that thread (and everyone else who can see that thread). (They're automatically added to the dropdown related to who can view the post.)

Hmm, I think you're right, Mastodon's tagging is basically DM. I sometimes tag someone in a followers-only post, and some of them replies.
