Granted the underlying bias they have towards x being "bad" plays a role.

But it's literally just mass psychosis developed by consuming the same type of content over and over to the point they are convinced there is a pattern or agenda that doesn't exist at all.

It cannot be stressed enough that the majority of right wingers that engage in culture war nonsense are people who have PsyOp'd themselves into seeing "pattern recognition" everywhere in the same way that biblical numerologists have a heart attack every time they see the number 666 somewhere.

I understand completely. And I don’t discount that possibility. I just don’t think we should overthink this. That way madness lies.

My guess is, and has been, that Peter and MJ will get back together in ASM 1K. I could be wrong, but it just seems like the big thing to do. As for all the other stuff, all the other issues people may have, I have no idea.

At least you’ll have some material for a future episode of What Happened?

I don’t disagree. These people are all opportunists.

They’re trying to walk it back because Trump is unpopular with everyone who isn’t a member of his cult.

These people are so fake. The second another Trump figure appears they will go right back to kissing his ass.

The GOP has done nothing on healthcare in the 21st century other than stop Dems from improving it. Literally nothing.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 3d

Mike Johnson: "Let me look right into the camera and tell you very clearly: Republicans are the ones concerned about healthcare. Republicans are the party working around the clock everyday to fix healthcare. This is not talking points for us: we've done it."

Clint: By punching each other in the face.
Steve: And what’s something you should NEVER DO to someone you’re dating?

Sora was announced as a playable character for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate four years ago.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate launched 7 years ago.

I still believe there is going to be a new Super Smash Bros. release on Switch 2 eventually.

This doesn't necessarily mean GenAI content makes it into the end game, but pretty much every notable game developer has experimented with the tech during the pre-production and early development phases at this point.

Nearly 7 in 10 of all Chinese devs, over 5 in 10 Japanese devs etc...

I've been trying to tell people that even the companies you think won't use GenAI are experimenting with it.

The issue for Nintendo is copyright, not the tech itself.

I'm curious what the reaction to Ranma is from people familiar with Takahashi's work on Inuyasha and MAO. Even though IY and MAO do have their comedic moments, they are not the screwball comedy that Ranma is. (Kyoukai no Rinne, which she did in between those two, is, but Rinne wasn't super popular.)

CALIFORNIANS!!!!

You’re gonna start getting your ballots. Vote YES for prop/ state measure 50, (it will be titled differently in different counties.)

Vote as soon as you get your ballot so that phone calls and texts can be directed to people who need more convincing.

Nintendo works with the Japanese Government quite often, especially with Pokémon related initiatives.

Nintendo is also one of the most important companies in Japan.

So if Nintendo wanted to make their voices heard, they definitely could.

This is an issue they see as a threat.

Nintendo is apparently lobbying the Japanese Government to push back against Generative AI.

Satoshi Asano, a member of Japan’s House of Representatives says Nintendo is choosing to avoid the use of generative AI in order to safeguard its IP.
