I try to avoid binary thinking, but...
There are only two types of people in the world.
"I had to suffer, so should they."
Or "I had to suffer, and I will work to help others so they don't have to."

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.
The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

I love when this stuff comes up every once in a while to remind people just how much nobody in corporate/studio wants you to own anything.
This was an easy bullshit thing you could see a mile away. Just like crypto, just like NFT, and just like the push for current genai and other LLM projects.

DivX and Circuit City would also offer 'DivX Gold' discs (or convert existing ones to Gold) too that would have unlimited plays - at the studios' discretion.

This shit is why I'm getting less and less work on anime and having to scramble to ask around with YouTubers for help letting me do their CCs just to pay my damn rent. There's enough anime to caption out there that I should not be fucking struggling.
After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!

Telling people to 'live within their means' is pissing me off. People are living in tents, vehicles, and shelters while working full time jobs.
You can't out-budget an economy that turns basic necessity into a luxury.
Stop saying that shit to people.

As I keep saying about folks trying to defend supporting JK Rowling through Harry Potter: "Fucking Skill Issue."
So many of us in the anime and manga fandom dropped Rurouni Kenshin like it was hot garbage when it came out that the creator was a pedophile, and that was 100% formative for many of us.

Someone defending their ability to love Harry Potter without supporting JK Rowling saying “if Toriyama was on the Epstein list, people could still love Dragon Ball”
1) that’s a hell of a hypothetical to suggest
2) based on how people reacted to Neil Gaiman this last year, I don’t know if I agree.

I have some friends that worked on it & apparently it was unfettered access to the worst people behaving badly & without filter (racist senators, Melania’s boyfriend drama, infighting, etc) so a good portion of that $40 million might just be hush money to insure the raw footage never escapes.

I have long posited that Daniel Craig's accent in Glass Onion is better than Knives Out because in Knives Out he is trying to do a real Southern accent and is bad at it but in Glass Onion he is just talking like Foghorn Leghorn, which is something a real gay Southern weirdo would do.

Nice to hear a leader valuing human art and artists instead of asking AI to make a video where he literally shits on us from a jet. I don’t mean to be controversial but I think this is better.
New York City helped my mother become the artist she is today. The next generation deserves a City Hall that lifts up tomorrow's artists as well.

Had some privileged friends who had fun at Wizarding World in Universal. Without trying to fight, I said I couldn't buy any of HP stuff given what we know about JK now. They tried to dismiss it like, "Well, it's not like we're agreeing with her." I said, "She says your money makes her think you do."
