The Reason Given For These Actions Is Cost-cutting: A Tax Break Available In Mergers For Writing Off

The reason given for these actions is cost-cutting: a tax break available in mergers for writing off incomplete projects (like Batgirl), and savings on residual payments for the cast and creators of series. God forbid the artists make a few crumbs! Meanwhile, the CEO’s compensation package in 2021 alone was valued at $241 million. This is capitalism at its most absurdly cannibalistic, of profits based on destruction.

Follow my blog on Facebook (yes, I know)

Here isn't getting as much traffic for my blog as I'd hoped. I opened a Tumblr page as part of several post-Twitter alternatives, but mostly just using it to follow a few fan comics/people I followed on Twitter. I'm also tired of dealing with spambots on here.

As such, I thought I'd reopen my dormant Facebook page to link to new blog posts on, as well as for anyone who won't use anything else besides Meta's site.

Cartoons that should’ve entered public domain in 2023 (but didn’t) | Diverse Tech Geek
A look at cartoons created in 1966 that should've entered public domain in 2023, but didn't thanks to retroactive copyright extensions.

What do Peppermint Patty, Frankenstein Jr. and the Impossibles, and Poison Ivy have in common? They all should’ve entered public domain as of today under their original copyright terms, but didn’t thanks to retroactive extensions.

Also, obligatory ”Mickey Mouse enters public domain a year from today” comments.

Alternatives to HBO Max | Diverse Tech Geek
With all of the turmoil surrounding HBO Max, I thought I'd offer a list of alternatives to HBO Max, from Netflix to going old-school (aka buying DVDs/Blu-rays).

HBO Max has seen a lot of its content, from "Westworld" to Looney Tunes, getting axed as part of Warner Bros. Discovery's penny-pinching austerity drive. As such, it's growing hard to recommend as a streaming service for casual viewers. In today’s post, I take a look at some alternatives to HBO Max.
