Galapagos by Kurt Vonnegut

It was my first ever Vonnegut book so seeing the levity that the narration hadtreated the story's dire content with blew my mind.

performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!

tell me about a book that changed you

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

Who else remembers a few years ago when the Jujutsu Kaisen movie made almost 200 million at the box office and the dub cast got like $300 tops

Ask literally any voice actor if they get royalties from the video games they worked on.

They will tell you no. They might even laugh.

Now imagine any developer actively trying to use AI VO to save money wanting to offer something like that.

Also, re: "they get royalties", how much money is that? Does it make up for the lack of continued work?

Paying next to nothing is still "getting paid royalties" but is functionally nothing.

In times like these, links are needed because it's far too easy to throw up a faked headline. So I'm sliding in to assist with the receipts: www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut...

Whenever possible, @koh.money included fighting game characters that I've played. This is an homage to our sacred ritual of Caliburst pizza, starring all the duo/puppet characters I've played before (Zato, Chaos, F-Maids). Azhi and Eddie are so cute!!!!

Patriotism is not a requirement to have a federal job, the current administration is trying to change that taking us even closer into an authoritarianism regime. But these past air traffic controllers who did not show up, are well within their rights.
