This is a prolific poster! Showing posts since June 19, 2023.
YTV & Adult Swim ran the show they're talking about, so I'd like to add an additional rider: nothing with a national basic cable broadcast in the US & Canada gets to be talked like this by US pop media unless it's no longer legally streaming or in print & OOPS: www.crunchyroll.com/series/G1XHJ...
Let's see...
Peter Cullen, like my life's a Toonami promo in the late 90'/early 00's. Might as well go for broke.
Kurt Cobain, who admired in his journals how male seahorses are the ones who carry the young, who constantly said his peers in the riot grrrl scene in Olympia were underrated & underappreciated compared to other acts, who constantly exalted his rock & roll wife Courtney Love, would love yuri anime.
Again, thinking about one of the greatest segments of television ever produced, wherein they try to figure out what is the heaviest fish a stray cat can carry away: youtu.be/YI5qS9IimIA
Hell, if only SpaceX's issues were limited to delivering on space. Instead, it's 95% predicated on Twitter becoming the most important social media site ever & that's predicated on Grok being the best AI ever, such that folks'll pay any price to use it. Mars is the most plausible part of the scam.
Great article & a good reminder even for us middle-aged folks who lost/moved away from their original 3rd spaces & would sooner spend their vacations fully vacationing, rather than shoulder to shoulder at a big con, that other options yet remain for otaku socializing in libraries & library cons. /1
Which will be eventually reflected in the social media bans. "Oh why are these platforms revenues collapsing?" Well, you banned many who were watching the ads & who might then make content to advertise against later, thus you've broken something entirely that just needed a light touch for outliers.
As a bonus, they ban the youth from shopping centers, then wonder why they're dying. Like, y'all, it was kids loitering in malls who both:
1. kept the place afloat between holidays.
2. eventually got jobs in the mall once they were old enough because "screw it, I am here anyway."
So many self owns!
wow food influencer @roccobotte.bsky.social reviews the beans with the @mega64official.bsky.social crew, and the next day, Walmart is clearing out the beans:
My favorite new anime, Chainsmoking Director.
Disney/Spielberg Version:
Yeah I kinda don't want to hear about forced labor from the US at this point:

play us a song, you're a crustacean
play us a song tonight
we were once in the mood for a thermidor
but now we'll keep you alive
To further underline the point, Taylor Farms is so huge, it's nigh miraculous there's not been the same outbreak up here in Canada. I saw US-grown Taylor Farms lettuce in Costco here this week. They're a massive business, so without external regulation, they can tank recalls & point fingers all day.
News from the future: Houston-area otaku dosed with shrooms after not reading the ingredients of swag bag pack in, just like they did not read the sex-pest-filled guest list.
Realizing specialty in-person retail was low-key a jobs program for neurodivergent people. Do you love [decor/fashion/comics/music/film/fabric/yarn/crafts/model [trains/cars/planes]/make-up/tech/[car/boat/rv] parts/toys/travel/etc.]? Do you want to get paid to recommend stuff? Retail is for you!
I know a lot of people at this point were not there for Nirvana and grunge as they happened in Seattle. I barely was despite being 42 & raised in the PNW, but it was a very vocally woke, feminist, queer-friendly scene, especially compared to the very misogynist music that it was reactionary against.
...And as I closed out the zoom, it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy loves GPT
And the cat's in the cradle in the server room
Elon Musk never flew to the moon
"When you comin' home, son?"
"I don't know when
But we'll get together then, Dad
Till then talk to my LLM"
LMAO, they're really doing Quibi again. Watch them get this merger through, creating one of the greatest libraries of film, TV and animation ever assembled, and they'll burn it all to the ground for Quibi, again.
Yeah, a great show often works on many levels for many people, while still pleasantly holding the basic beats down. Kaiju Girl nails the basics, while effortlessly providing a mirror for anyone whose ever felt like an outsider & in a way aiming to build empathy across groups of outsiders.
I mean, not really that unexpected from the police department that ran a black-site, but still egregious:

I'll never forget the time I was in a Best Buy in Spokane, WA. While grabbing a copy of the Boogiepop Phantom boxset, I saw a mom with a small child grab for the Najica Blitz Tactics v.1 w/box & before I could say "wait, no!" she saw the pack-in, slammed the box back on the shelf & stormed out 😅
