Audience culture is the worst it's ever been, I swear to god. People forgot how to act. I'm at the theater, trying to enjoy my show, which I've paid GOOD MONEY for, and these two old assholes are in the balcony heckling the life out of the poor bear onstage. Not letting him finish a single joke.

Guys, as a ex call center employee, this is fucking DESPERATION BEHAVIOR.
Pizza and ice cream once may be an entire year's planned discretionary budget for a team, they do NOT value them enough to provide common comfort. If their doing this? Their not just scared, their TERRIFIED.

Spoke with a source who told me the call volume is so high, a call center for both Mastercard & Visa is bringing out pizza and ice cream so agents don’t quite amid the rush. Long waits are causing dropped calls.
What you’re doing is working. Call MC & Visa.

My biggest takeaway from the 4 hour long Defunctland video essay about animatronics is that someone on the design team most likely tried to fuck the Judy Hopps animatronic when no one else was looking, which is why it never made it to the parks.

“Don’t send people death threats because something bad happened to your favorite fictional character.” Shouldn’t be a controversial statement.

the invasion of Afghanistan is among the most horrific recent chapters of the long history of elite impunity in the US. this coda is grim but fitting - the govt practically explicitly affirming that it should only be Afghans who live with the consequences amid fading public memory of the atrocity

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

Look, I get that everyone is struggling financially right now. But if I was a VA who got fired by MiHoYo because I didn't want my voice to be used for AI and I ended up becoming the target of a harassment campaign, I'd immediately stop signing anything MiHoYo related at cons.
Just saying.
