🚨Publication Day 🚨

I’m thrilled to announce the publication of my 9th book, Music Technology Panic: Narratives Beyond Piracy, with Anthem Press.

Reaching number nine is a huge milestone, and I’m excited to finally have this one out in the world.

In cartoon news, Tubi just revealed practically the entirety of the classic Warner Bros/Hanna-Barbera/Cartoon Network library is coming to the platform this March.

For those who don't wanna visit the bird site, here's the full list of what's coming.

14.02.2026 01:49 πŸ‘ 3460 πŸ” 1506 πŸ’¬ 118 πŸ“Œ 451

Since this is going to be an issue, and I don't like doing it, a bit of a clarification is necessary.

Tubi is NOT owned by FOX News, but the two units share the same corporate owner, Fox Corporation.

They are completely autonomous from each other nor directly financially support each other.

B.O. Mojo reports on ALL box-office revenue, even commercial bombs & critical disastersβ€”incl. Zyzzyx Rd, which made THIRTY DOLLARS in 2006 at one theater in Dallas!
