How are you supposed to explain to people how this entire social, political, and economic reality is entirely downstream from anime getting banned on some dipshit's forum 25ish years ago
So apparently I was right to shittalk m00t this week because it's been revealed that his boneheaded decision to establish /pol/ and subsequently ruin the website was allegedly born out of a one-on-one meeting with Jeffery Epstein.

This sucks. Oddnon was a real gem. While sick, while suffering, they were always there for creators; fundraising, encouraging, sharing, and apparently listening and holding space and consoling and yet more than I knew. The Oddnon I did know was a welcome brightness at premieres. One I will miss.
my friend Oddnon passed on wednesday evening.
they were a joyous, creative, revolutionary spirit.
they helped dig me out of a creative hole in 2023 and was always there when i needed them.
their absence will leave a vacuum in my life.
may their memory be a blessing.

Another upcoming video is now available to watch, ad-free and early, on my Patreon. This one’s a bit longer (40+ mins) and the Patreon upload contains a few elements that won’t be making it to YT. It’s about Wake Up Dead Man, movies that move, and viewers who don’t.

@pillarofgarbage.bsky.social is always brilliant, but this was a standout for sure this year because of the way it connects so many things to make a point about fascist obsessions with aesthetics and why AI appeals to them so much

Great video! It’s always a treat when Pillar analyzes a Benoit Blanc whodunnit, especially one as thematically rich as Wake Up Dead Man.
