Wrote about The Summer Hikaru Died / HikaNatsu being planned as a sensorial experience, but in a way that reinforces its themes. Inescapable sound, morphing visuals, and inventive direction give slithery form to the horror of conformity & the allure of the other blog.sakugabooru.com/2025/10/19/h...

There are currently 16 data centers in Scotland.

They use enough tap water to fill 27 million bottles per year.

And that number has quadrupled in just four years.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Finally caught some Fall anime premieres. Favorite so far is Yano-kun, which I was preemptively down on because it got tantalizingly close to a Yubisaki-like miracle adaptation yet ended up more down to earth. However: GREAT vibes and lowkey gorgeous color design by one of the best in the business

Donate to mutual funds. Take a first aid course. Offer to help others with yard work or errands. Check in on your friends, family & vulnerable community members. Contact your senator. Help out at a food bank. Do not give up. The road is long & small positive actions ripple outward.

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years.

Pinochet was ousted with a referendum.

And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists.

Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

One of the true powers of Trumpism 2.0 is that corporations have realized that placating his ego and giving him a cut means they'll get away with even more blatant white collar crimes than the leniency they already enjoyed under the neo-liberal order.

Every TV network that's instantly caved to the administration's requests has a direct financial interest in letting the president do whatever he wants so their billion dollar deals to further consolidate and monopolize all media can clear.

This is...something

Nexstar, one of largest owners of TV stations in the country, is pre-empting JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE "for the foreseeable future":

"Nexstar strongly objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the killing of Charlie Kirk and will replace the show with other programming."

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

And I’m pretty sure half of it is filled with landlords and bad actors 🤮 all the paid folks making sure tenants are just keeping their complaints nice and tidy online and not an actual threat. You want power? Go fucking get it. Stop blaming peoples’ ineptness when it’s just your poor view on people

Part of the legacy of people like Ella Baker and Septima Clark is a faith that ordinary people who learn to believe in themselves are capable of extraordinary acts, or better, of acts that seem extraordinary to us precisely because we have such an impoverished sense of the capabilities of ordinary people.

Damn r/renters subreddit is pathetic. No sauce. No rizz. Just folks who wanna complain and do nothing and can’t imagine organizing for their collective liberation bc they’re too busy crying that it’s just capitalism. LAME AS FUCK
