Executive produced by Oscar winner Peter Ramsey (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse), Anthony Silverston of South African animation house Triggerfish, and Tendayi Nyeke, the 10-part anthology series offers a dizzying blend of mythology, science fiction and Afrofuturism, presenting 10 bold, wholly original visions of the future from a distinctly African perspective.
The series, which is produced by Triggerfish, features animators from six African countries drawing on their own ancient histories, folklores and contemporary urban landscapes to reimagine a world populated with cyborg cattle, flying minibus-taxis, radioactive octopi and robotic birds. Collectively, they present a portrait of the continent that’s never been seen before.
Ramsey and the show’s creators insist this is only the beginning, with “Kizazi Moto” giving audiences a tantalizing glimpse of what lies ahead for a continent only beginning to be recognized on the global stage. “[African animators] are ready to say something totally new,” he said. "And the rest of the world will be very lucky to hear it.”
Do you ever get a wave of nostalgia for a hyperfixation that’s never coming back with the same sort of melancholy with which you mourn a lost childhood friend

Author Maureen Ryan writes that Lorne Michaels’ “long tenure as a power player and ‘SNL’s’ enduring importance are intertwined with a culture of impunity within the world of comedy, in which abuse and toxicity are not just permitted but often celebrated.

Fanfiction is becoming people’s primary form of entertainment right now because most media right now is so cheap, bland, recycled, and sponsored by people who love money more than the source material. Fanfiction is written for free by people who genuinely love what they’re writing about. That’s why it’s better. That’s why it’s more satisfying. Fanfiction is a home-cooked meal made for yourself and for your friends. Media today is junky fast food spoiled by too much grease and the knowledge that the people producing it are being criminally mistreated and underpaid.
FANFICTION IS A HOME-COOKED MEAL
WOW. BRO.THAT’S.
