Yep. Something told me there was a larger strategy around climate and renewable energy that those tax proposals were aligned with.

Encouraging.

Raising taxes on fuel purchases will sensibly improve the state's position on climate while increasing fare tax rates across the board should improve CTA efficiency and access for Chicagoans.

#freedomofmovement
Screenshot of an image from an article in Capitol News Illinois titled, 'Latest Chicago transit funding plan appears to avoid statewide tax increases' by Ben Szalinski and published October 30th, 2025. It reads: "The bulk of the funding, $860 million, would come through redirecting sales tax revenue charged on motor fuel purchases to public transportation operations. Another estimated $200 million would come from interest growing in the Road Fund — a state fund that is typically used for road construction projects but can also be used for transportation-related purposes under the state constitution. The plan calls for raising the existing Regional Transportation Authority sales tax by 0.25 percentage points, to 1% in Lake, McHenry, Kane, DuPage and Will counties and 1.25% in Cook County. That tax hike will generate $478 million."

If you're at an American company, there are very obvious solutions to this, you just have to implement them. All you have to do is greenlight the animated movies that you know have been pitched to you.

This is possible. We can make this money (and probably more) with American animation too.

Theatrical anime is doing (better than) Hollywood numbers, with Chainsaw Man even getting a lot of IMAX screens. And it's been fascinating to see the conversation and reviews move from genre and enthusiasts sites onto just movie sites and movie sections. It's not nerd culture anymore. Just culture.

Youtube has announced that all low-res videos (i.e. older ones) are to be automatically AI upscaled to HD.
Creators can opt-out on a per video basis (but the channel may be long abandoned).

When researching props or behind the scenes, old videos are useful, but not if upscaling produces artefacts.

'Footpath through a park.' (1920) Santiago Rusiñol almost completely concentrated on painting Spain's gardens and landscapes. Wherever he went, he recorded the domestic, at other times enigmatic, forms and rich vegetation of the shrubbery, orchards, and arboretums he discovered.

If we're doing critical reevaluations of important moments in feminism could we do the revolution in Rojava instead of the fucking 2nd wave for the millionth time?

all of them use the same method which is pretending they are Not Sad, Actually

and since they are Not Sad, Actually, obviously nothing has actually upset them

Idk if this could help anyone but if you want the AI Overview when googling something adding "-ai" to the search basically makes that disappear. At least most of the times it has worked for me!

I'm not sure if this Common Knowledge but I figured this just recently so I wanna share it

quote with yours!
Sketch The image depicts a stylish man in an abstract, geometric style. He is wearing a dark suit and bow tie, with round glasses on his face. He is holding a glass of drink in his hand. The lighting is done in warm yellow and green tones, creating a contrast between light and shadow. Large leaves are visible in the background.

What in the actual fuck? Googles AI basically hallucinated that I somehow accused my podcast host & close friend of toxic behavior & harassment - killing her channel. Keep in my, Vera and I host a podcast together regularly and are good friends and her channel is amazing. This is absolutely fucked.

Council of Geeks is over.
I only just learned myself thanks to Google’s AI summary. Thanks Google for letting me know my channel is dead. Some digging, using Google’s AI mode, revealed it’s because of the toxic feud between me and @jessiegender.bsky.social

I wouldn’t have known otherwise.
A screenshot of “AI overview” from Google, which reads: “The ‘Council of Geeks’ podcast, which included the YouTube Channel run by Nathaniel Wayne (Vera Wylde), has ended. The podcast concluded, and while the YoyTube channel was previously dedicated to content like Doctor Who analysis, it is no longer active. Podcast and YouTube channel: Both the podcast and the “Council of Geeks” YouTube channel, known for its Doctor Who content, have stopped producing new material. Reasons: while the specific reasons for the shutdown are not detailed in the provided snippets, the consensus is that the project is over.” Screenshot from Google AI that reads: “Harassment allegations Targeting of creator Jessie Gender. In 2024, a serious public feud developed between Wylde and another content creator, Jessie Gender, over Wylde's podcast, Frak this Podcast!. Gender claimed that Wylde displayed toxic behavior behind the scenes and weaponized her fanbase to target her. Wylde was also accused of ignoring concerns regarding harassment and abuse within her own Discord server. Abusive behavior toward collaborators. Collaborators on Wylde's podcast and Discord server have corroborated Gender's accusations, alleging a pattern of abusive behavior and harassment.”

I love Guillermo del Toro calling ages 19 to 29 "sublime confusion"
The full quote: "I think the sublime confusion is from nineteen to twenty-nine. You think you are late for everything, you're a has been, nothing is happening, there's no opportunity for you, the world is closed, everything is a disaster, you wanna die. And then you're thirty. " "You young people are in the exact age of desperation. I never felt more done and old than in my twenties. I'd say 'life has passed me and I did nothing.' But I'm here to tell you that's not true: you have a lot of fucking time."

It's been almost a year since our Darkstalkers zine... not sure if I've posted the extended print version of my piece here.
An illustration of Morrigan and Lilith from the Darkstalkers series. Originally served as the cover of a Darkstalkers fan art collaboration. Morrigan and Lilith are making a paired heart gesture with their hands in the center of the frame. The composition is inspired by playing cards, with the two oriented in opposite directions.
