You say "dating" but what are we even talking about here? Conversations on the internet?

Anyways though we can't say whether the guy is seriously sorry or not.

Pretending to be in a relationship with someone he knew was 13 is majorly creepy and inappropriate. Why was he even pretending to be 14? Was this part of his broader internet personality or only in his messages to you?

We are talking legal obligations.

If you remove content you posted somewhere in the fediverse, your server will send "delete" activities to other servers anyways. But your server does not know whether those other servers actually do delete it.

"Knowingly" is a big word given that Mastodon GmbH has been transparent about not having extensive legal knowledge in-house and being dependent on their probono lawyers. Which is completely understandable given their company & team size.

That's PiS for you

There is no legal precedent, but most likely you would only have to prove deletion on your own server.

There have been semi-successful Youtube creators who transitioned into the studio system, who mostly never were big on-screen personas but rather worked behind the cameras.

The Corridor Crew has talked about how they always wanted to make it in Hollywood, but when they were finally being offered deals it simply was not financially or creatively wise to give up their business just in order to be part of a system where others are in control.

Then you're wtching the wrong kind of atuff on youtube my dude

Because it happens everytime. They accuse people of "scraping the fediverse".

That is a pretty blunt statement for a Hollywood actress/actor. Calling executives that could land her on some blacklist.

Well, it does matter as far as lots of people who only have passing knowledge about it will believe that it was at Tiananmen Square, that the guy in the famous photo was run over by tanks etc.

And that makes it easy for the CCP to go "you are all falling for propaganda, that did not happen, look how good we are in not killing these protesters"

The point is that according to basically all reputable sources, they didnt die on Tiananmen Square. They were ordered to leave the Square and did so. Then they were killed at other points in the city.

But of course, since the protests were on the Square and then the killings happened, most people simply condense it down to the inaccurate version of "killed at the square".

"Mystery of Penquan Island" is the first LoK one-shot graphic novel. It takes place after the show, and focuses on Mako.

When a strange missing persons case falls into his lap, Mako is forced to choose between his job and doing what he feels is right! An upturned room and an unhelpful witness aren’t promising starts to the investigation, but when his brother Bolin comes across a surprising clue that ties their own mother to the case, the pair embark on a journey to the small, rustic island of Penquan. The island’s inhabitants seem to have things to hide, and the brothers are determined to get to the bottom of it—even if it means uncovering uncomfortable parts of their family’s past.

The comic released March 4th. It is written by Kiku Hughes with art by Alex Monik and Diana Sousa, made in collaboration with Mike and Bryan.

Dante Basco says the rumors about him returning as Zuko are “not real.”

 

What are your thoughts on this?

For background: This is from a Paramount merchandising video posted in September 2024 (it’s recently been removed from Vimeo). The video seems to be legit as it was uploaded by a profile with the name and profile picture of someone working for Paramount.

These are the seven cards on the slate:

  1. Seasons 2 and 3 of the Netflix live-action series, "greenlit"
  2. Aang: The Last Airbender theatrical movie. They recently filed a copyright for this Aang-focused movie under the title "Lost Realm", it is supposed to release early 2026. Dave Bautista will voice the antagonist.
  3. The slate confirms the long rumored Earth Avatar TV series. There have been pretty detailed rumours and supposed leaks about the plot of this show that supposedly will be titled "Seven Havens". According to the slate it will release after the Aang movie.
  4. a second theatrical film. The concept art of this card shows adult Aang from behind entering an overgrown building.
  5. a brand-new Airbending TV series. The concept art shows an airbending symbol. There have been rumours about this being a show aimed at young kids.
  6. a third theatrical film. The concept art shows adult Aang airbending.
  7. “new content." The card shows the fire emblem. This might be the Saber RPG game "Ice Wars". Or it is simply a placeholder telling markering partners the possibility to create merchandise based on future content.

The video also ends with the title "Avatar Legends", which seems to be what they call the universe to separate it from James Cameron’s Avatar universe.

 

Proceed for potential spoilers:

These are current rumours published indepently of each other by both "TheAvatarist" and Caleb Williams (Knight Edge Media). We know from official information that Avatar Studios are developing an animated TV series, which will feature the next Avatar in the cycle after Aang and Korra, the Earthbending Avatar. This series is expected to debut exclusively on Paramount+.

BE WARNED that the spoiler tag includes heavy spoilers about potential setting, characters and story of the show.

According to Caleb Williams, the main character we are following will first appear as a homeless young girl accompanied by a large feline animal guide, and will miss her left leg. This he has apparently verified. TheAvatarist also confirms that the main character will be a girl with a peg leg and she has a big cat-like animal companion. He says that she seems to be an outcast of society, with no one considering her to be the Avatar. Instead, according to TheAvatarist, her twin has been identified as the Avatar and raised separated from a young age.

According to TheAvatarist (and treated as a rumour by Caleb Williams), the story seems set in a post-apocalyptic world (based on seeing two episode animatics). TheAvatarist says he hears the "seven havens" are the cities where the remaining people live and outside them is post apocalyptic.

According to TheAvatarist, the people in general seem to hold Korra responsible for the apocalyptic event and therefore hate the current Avatar, which is why the main character's twin has been taken into hiding by the White Lotus.
