About me:
Screen cap of a social media post with a caption mocking certain attitudes in modern media fandom: “ “Is this character good or bad?” “Is this character problematic?” “Is this arc deserving of redemption or not?” Girl …” The answer comes in the form of a screen cap of the character Kashigi Yabushige from Shōgun and his iconic line: “I don’t have time for this Christian nonsense.”

Here’s the image in the quoted post, with alt-text.
The text of this screen shot reads as follows: “If the appeals court denies the petition, Anthropic argued, the emerging company may be doomed. As Anthropic argued, it now "faces hundreds of billions of dollars in potential damages liability at trial in four months" based on a class certification rushed at "warp speed" that involves "up to seven million potential claimants, whose works span a century of publishing history," each possibly triggering a $150,000 fine. Confronted with such extreme potential damages, Anthropic may lose its rights to raise valid defenses of its AI training, deciding it would be more prudent to settle, the company argued. And that could set an alarming precedent, considering all the other lawsuits generative AI (GenAI) companies face over training on copyrighted materials, Anthropic argued.”

You know what would’ve been more effective than dismissively assuming someone who said something you disagree with didn’t read the article? Sharing one of the best bits from it that is specifically about how to treat women:

Today on “LaT Won’t Shut Up About #NirvanaInFire,” let’s talk about the brilliant political theater that is the Emperor’s Birthday Party™️ in Ep 53. In particular, this line of dialog to character shot transition — “Who asked you all to treat me this way?!”:

Honestly, this is what happens when you don’t have backup plans to The Plan. If everything relies on your target losing their temper, what happens when they keep their cool? Could it be that you end up looking foolish?!

Nirvana in Fire is a comedy. Xia Jiang was SO SURE he knew how this was gonna go, but watch his face as the supposedly ill-tempered, unruly one *takes his ass to school*:

Finally saw Thee Best Boy of all The Best Boys onscreen today. 15/10 on Clark/Superman, Lois, and Lex. No notes! Also, brilliant Jonathan & Martha! #Superman
Screen cap of the cinematic poster for James Gunn’s Superman. Features David Corenswet as Superman. His arms are folded across his chest, and he is smiling slightly. The movie’s tag line, “Look Up” is superimposed over where his arms are cross. The red & gold S shield is prominently visible, and his red cape swirls around him.

Today on “LaT Won’t Shut Up About #NirvanaInFire,” let’s talk about why Project Gaslight Prince Jing™️ is such an intra- and meta-textual berserker button for me. But first! Receipts for everyone in fandom who likes to act like he never figured it out before he’s explicitly told in Episode 49:

Prince Jing: Let me get this straight. You had a convicted seditionist in a maximum security prison and moved him to the equivalent of … county lockup and are now surprised he escaped?

Xia Jiang:
Iconic anime character Pikachu is depicted standing in a forest with green grass and brown tree bark behind them. Pikachu’s mouth is open and their eyes are wide in shock and surprise. This image is often referred to as “Surprised Pikachu Face.jpg.”

Not for me. But that likely just means I’m on a different server from you and @ahab.bsky.social and the update hasn’t rolled out on mine yet.

“Per my last email.”
Kendrick Lamar performing during the halftime show for Super Bowl 59. He wears a blue and white leather jacket, black t-shirt, bootcut jeans, and white sneakers. He’s looking into the camera and smiling while saying “Say, Drake” during a performance of his Grammy-winning diss track, Not Like Us.

I’m going to take credit for this because I reminded this fucker he was in Congress.
Screen shot of Senator Chuck Schumer’s post. The text reads as follows: “Every single Senate Democrat will vote against Russell Vought, the Trump nominee for OMB and chief architect of the ultra-right Project 2025. We are holding the floor of the United States Senate overnight to expose how Project 2025 is the Trump White House agenda.”

Eh, I read it and it’s great, but you did yourself a disservice with your original screen shot. Should’ve led with this instead, especially since it was more fitting to your headline:

It’s 10:47 pm EST in the U.S. and about 7 minutes ago I literally got this pop-up while in the middle of using Tik Tok:
A screen shot of the warning that U.S. Tik Tok users are receiving when they click on the application to use it. The pop up warning says, “Sorry, Tik Tok isn’t available right now. A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can’t use Tik Tok right now. We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned.” (Editor note: How can I stay tuned if I can’t, you know, use the app???!)

But it wasn’t until, like, 20 minutes ago (thanks YouTube Live!) that I could see the throughline between the original love of my fannish life and the 21st century iteration.

And I just think that’s neat.

6. I’m a sucker for a good piece of statement jewelry, and this necklace from Sage Silver, made from a pool ball in one of my favorite colors and of a number that holds special meaning for me, is 👩🏾‍🍳💋.
Color photograph of the original poster (OP), wearing a black linen v-neck shirt, and a heart-shaped pendant made out of the face of the 9-ball from pool. The 9-ball slice is cream and banana yellow in color. The OP also wears large circle earrings, which are orange in color. In the photo, you can only see the bottom half of her face. She is smiling and has a nose ring piercing.

3. I got a tattoo cover up this year and my G😍d but my tattoo artist was in her BAG when she took care of it for me. A gorgeous forearm piece using the purple variant of my birth flower (the Aster) and the official flower of my home state (the sunflower). 😍😍😍
Color photograph of a forearm tattoo. The tattoo is comprised of four purple Aster flowers of varying sizes, green leaves, and a single sunflower in shades of yellow and orange.
