As I keep saying about folks trying to defend supporting JK Rowling through Harry Potter: "Fucking Skill Issue."
So many of us in the anime and manga fandom dropped Rurouni Kenshin like it was hot garbage when it came out that the creator was a pedophile, and that was 100% formative for many of us.

Someone defending their ability to love Harry Potter without supporting JK Rowling saying “if Toriyama was on the Epstein list, people could still love Dragon Ball”
1) that’s a hell of a hypothetical to suggest
2) based on how people reacted to Neil Gaiman this last year, I don’t know if I agree.

Review #300: Galactic Patrol Lensman!
After 15 years I finally have reached 300 "traditional" reviews!! To celebrate I cover the second of Kodansha & MK Company's infamous anime adaptations of the Lensman series.
Until 2024 this was impossible to watch in full... but was it worth all the trouble?

Any one of these massive AAA videogame companies could file suit against the 6-piece Chicken McNobody ringleaders harassing their employees, and that they don't is a choice. I said before of goobergate that the industry enjoys having a bunch of unpaid Pinkertons around too much to ever give it up.
Two months after firing over Charlie Kirk comments, Ghost of Yotei dev blames harassment campaign, not 'bad joke'

Good thread. I can’t bring myself to let go of a 13-year-old Lenovo x230. I keep using it for stuff! I got it in 2016 used for $150. It still does everything I need it to do.
I don’t want to replace it because Lenovo doesn’t do external batteries anymore 😅

I held on to a laptop for 11 years and only just replaced it this year with a used one for under $400.
There's been no appreciable gain in having faster phones, and Windows 11 isn't much more demanding than Windows 10.
Prices go up, but there's no commensurate gain.
