Please tag me if you see any anime that appears to plainly be using AI transcriptions for closed captions. That's CLOSED CAPTIONS (SDH) for ENGLISH DUBS, not subtitles for Japanese audio. I wanna publicly keep track of some of these and start holding platforms accountable.

Delightful paneling trick in Witch Hat Atelier. The first panel of Coco leaning around a corner is echoed in the second through the panel itself acting as the wall, with even Coco's word balloon casting a shadow on both the far wall and the "doorframe" of the panel border

They are promoting the hell out of that “Young Ladies Don’t Play Fighting Games” anime at EVO Japan and even selling the manga at the official EVO booth, it’s genuinely so cool. I really wanna read it when I get back home because the panels I’ve seen tell me the mangaka just gets it.

Next year, the EU will require cars to have buttons & dials -- not just touchscreens -- to get a top safety rating.
This is a great move. Drivers can fiddle with knobs & buttons without taking their eyes off the road, but they can't do that with touchscreens.
(Even better: Tesla will hate this)

Cars will need fewer screens and more buttons to earn five-star safety rating in Europe
Euro NCAP will release new testing guidelines in 2026.

The first level of the Space Zone in Super Mario Land 2 contains a hidden message in the sky that spells "HAPPY". Normally, it can only be seen in a level editor. By modifying the game to let Mario fly, we can actually see the message in-game.

The Inspectors General refuse to leave until the action is taken legally, which they do not believe it was, and neither do senators like Chuck Grassley. This is what not backing down looks like.
