Thanks John. I'm interested to see where this takes us. The tech-repudiating childhood has been the goal of many tech elite parents for some time. What does it mean when mainstream Disney communicates this message?
The modern American family didn't just naturally drift toward screens—it was subjected to a coordinated, structural override. The Left used educational policy to isolate the child from the parents, and the Right deregulated the tech industry to sell that isolated child to the highest bidder. The result is an $11 billion annual harvest of the adolescent retina. We traded the American living room for a digital Skinner box.

Toy Story — a movie that is only possible with the technology created by “big tech” — is a FU to “big tech”. You inform us of this using a device produced by big tech, on a social media site powered by big tech. Maybe try a different angle next time.

Thanks Richard. I think it means we are turning a corner. 🤞🤞

Yes!!! 👏
I hope the Lily Pad/Leap Frog toy sales bomb!
Agreed -- it's just mind-boggling that they greenlit those. From the people who brought you the Finding Nemo fish scaler!

Isn’t irony fun?! Maybe try realizing it’s not all reductive black and white, bra. Thanks for stopping by!
