This is a very, very, very big mistake. Disney is trying hard to recreate the studio system of the bad old days and the Justice Dept just handed them the keys. Terrible news for anyone who cares about a vibrant and creative entertainment industry. wsj.com/articles/justi…
Can’t wait to see the Simpsons, the Alien xenomorph and Kermit the Frog duke it out in ”MegaProperties 15: IPocalypse” at the Disney AMC Loews in 2030. Tickets are just 1000 MousePoints™️!
Don’t have one in your town? I’m afraid you’re out of luck - MP15IP is Disney AMC Loews Exclusive! 😀 (And just a reminder to ensure your comfort and safety, Disney AMC Loews Theaters ONLY screen Disney Expanded Universe entertainment products! 🚫📽🎞😎)
The @WGAWest (of which I'm a member) filed this comprehensive yet readable brief detailing exactly why this is such a bad move: wga.org/uploadedfiles/…

Buried in this piece about the streaming rights for South Park likely selling for $500 million (!) -- Apple isn't bidding because they don't want to upset China. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
I keep thinking about @austin_walker's comments. These companies promised "Open markets means OPEN MINDS. Soft economic power will erode autocracy and encourage democracy around the world!" But the opposite has happened. (1/2)
These companies are now stifling criticism of the regime, which, far from being eroded, is using the free market to strengthen itself. Money has proven to be more powerful than our democratic ideals; instead, autocratic ideals seem to be spreading here, via capitalism.

My former employer CollegeHumor did this. In order to beat YouTube, Facebook faked incredible viewership numbers, so CH pivoted to FB. So did Funny or Die, many others. The result: A once-thriving online comedy industry was decimated. A $40m fine is laughable; shut Facebook down.
A little more context: when I joined CH, fans watched videos on OUR SITE. That meant that we sold the ads & controlled the metrics. We had a killer ad sales team, and made custom videos for major brands. YouTube was mosty just to drive traffic to the site. It was a real business!
We posted links to FB, of course, but the links led to our site! I specifically remember the fateful day someone said “You have to see the numbers native videos get on Facebook. They’re INSANE.” Too good to pass up! So we started posting videos natively to Facebook instead.

I couldn't be prouder of @lisadraws. When you watch Tuca & Bertie, you are getting her gorgeously warped mind and heart blasted directly into your retina. The show IS Lisa, animated. No wonder it resonated so deeply with so many people.

A few more thoughts, though.
Tuca and Bertie had a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Nearly every critic working in TV called it either one of the best or THE best new show of the year. T&B got the best press it's possible for a freshman show to have.
But more importantly, people come up to me daily and ask me to tell Lisa what the show means to them; that it makes them cry, laugh, and feel seen. Look for yourself: Search "tuca bertie" on Twitter; check out the birdsonas and art fans have made. People LOVE this show.
