Hey @paramountplus I was hired by Dreamworks/Netflix to move to Tennessee and build a team to produce 153 VeggieTales episodes in 3 years. Out of 20 animated productions, our crew was the only one on time and on budget and we earned VeggieTales their first Emmy nomination. You have my IP of Nickelodeon's Catscratch in your vault. I live in Franklin and know every animator in the state.

Please let the Ai-Czar be Paula White.
President Trump announced the formation of the US AI Force to oversee the development of artificial intelligence, and in the near future will be announcing an AI Czar.

I've been in a ton of "Faith in the Arts" crap in Nashville and there is zero will to "exert social pressure". Bubba and Goober would work on a drag queen show if it let them finally play with production equipment.
A lot of focus on the negative potential of a Hollywood relocation to Nashville… I’m less pessimistic. If we exert strong social pressure on executives to assimilate, we could even start getting popular films that are less alienating to heartland Americans.

Rainbow-Tallarico-Texas is going to need to stay out of actual red states. Arizona went for Katie Hobbs... not as red as people think.
Replying to @DougTenNapel
Yes, stay out of Texas too!

Democrats don't just want to monitor content on CNN, it's why they want to "monitor" Ai to be able to define what is safe speech, news, science, Truth. They already say parents who won't mutilate their kids are unfit parents, they censor the arts, demand you respect the image of Mohammad and remove every cross from public property. California wants control of Paramount's free speech, which is a first principle of the left. It's a fact that the more someone claims to respect diversity, they less they respect a diversity of opinion. Bonta wants CNN, Paramount should RUN from California as should all content creators.

But the Californians will at least bring edible Mexican food with them to TN!!
Please Doug, don’t encourage them. We don’t want them here. This town is maxed out already and downtown Nashville is becoming trashier all the time. It’s sad.😢

Javi is top tier with an eye for where the camera goes and where to cut. By the way, if I did that puppet shot in Grok it would never ever let it sit there and stare without blinking and singing a musical number!
This one is 100% worth your time! Watched it all the way through without ever once checking how much time was left. Incredibly well paced and well executed! Very clearly a labor of love. On top of all his accomplishments, this short cements Javi as a high tier creator in the space. You love to see it!

The guy that couldn't figure out how to lay one mile of light-rail track in 20 years to save the Earth is going to crack the Ai kill-switch to save the Earth. California Democrats can't even govern California Democrat projects.
BREAKING: I just signed an EXECUTIVE ORDER to dramatically accelerate independent oversight of AI companies and advance the creation of an “AI kill switch.” With Donald Trump and Congress failing to lead, California is stepping up to keep all Americans safe.

Those tax credits actually helped Georgia build and remain dominant in production for the South.

Look at what happened to Georgia with their film tax credits.

I saw Paul Simon at this amphitheater in Franklin last month. Brad Pitt and all kinds of Paramount execs just so happen to premiere 'Heart of the Beast' at the amphitheater. Real estate agents are showing property to Hollywood execs in Franklin. Paramount just announced Brad Pitt will be back shooting World War Z... Paramount is moving to Tennessee.

Guess what else is at Paramount... my Nickelodeon show CATSCRATCH! I came to Franklin thinking my IPs were locked away in a woke state and now the studio could be coming to my home town. LET'S FIRE UP PRODUCTION, BOYS!

I left Hollywood and moved to Franklin in 2013. Now Hollywood moves in to my backyard. Tennessee will be a purple state in 2 election cycles. The conservatism is inch deep. California is a mushroom that gets too big and blows out woke spores into red states who having thriving economies. Just praying the woke people who voted to make Hollywood a bad place to house Paramount don’t move to Nashville and do the same. If Paramount moves the same execs who ruined children’s entertainment out to Nashville they’ll just produce the same anti-family dreck but at a lower tax rate.
Paramount is leaving. My director lives in Nashville. He's personally referred 2 realtors to Paramount employees who are currently shopping for properties in Leiper's Fork and Franklin. Bonta is so stupid, he doesn't realize how much damage he's already done.

Congress will never ever help Youtubers. My Youtube channel is my primary source of income and Republicans have never made a dent on the platform and will never change a single thing about my workday that improves my time on Youtube. The only notable improvement on Youtube came from when Democrats stopped having influence on the platform. Congress needs to stay far away from Youtube. The GOP in particular will never have the same influence on the platform as Democrats so it will only get worse with the same leftist censorship and "misinformation" hysteria they can't resist.
🚨 YouTube NEWS 🚨 Creators officially have a seat at the table in Washington 🏛️ A bipartisan Senate Creators Caucus just launched, co-chaired by Sens. Cory Booker and John Kennedy. It gives creators a direct line to lawmakers on creator businesses and policy The creator economy is worth hundreds of billions. Taxes. Monetization. AI likeness rights. Creator issues finally have a formal channel in Congress, same as any major industry

Propaganda comes from "propagate". It's an old farmer's term to put a cutting of a branch into another tree to influence production in a certain way. While the roots are in biology, the arts were always important to get the message across. We use propaganda in a negative sense, but I'm only against propaganda that is false. A less polarizing term would be just plain ol' marketing. The most recent version of propaganda would be the bot-storms on certain topics here on X. The anti-Israel, anti-Trump, anti-Ai hundred bot army that comes on any post are well funded and a lie, but not a powerful lie when everyone is so aware of paid propaganda. Paid influencers are probably a more effective use of propaganda because a real person still works better than a copy-and-paste low-follower bot account from another country.

What ethnicity is the director? Is Albino a country? Oh, wait... she's straight too.
Please join me (& @DougTenNapel) in expressing our heartfelt concern about the casting in Narnia. After centuries of painful white colonial history, using a “practicing white” as a symbolic Jesus is ignorant and hurtful. It’s almost 2027. We can do better.
