Oddly healing to be working on Whitest Kids stuff in this current political moment. Trevor was so anti-authority and severely OCD, so got way too into anti-governmental conspiracies, but he ended up being right about the vast majority of it.
We will get through this. We know what needs to be done.

We spent the last few days compiling a big list of pretty much *everything* that was delisted, & it came out to be over 100 titles… many of which were not OOP, as stated in the announcement.
Just want to give a big thanks & props to our community for helping us out with that big list. You guys rock!

All of this came out of literally nowhere, & we were just as surprised as everyone else to learn what’s going on.
Our storefront will hopefully be a new, much less unstable home for our favorite titles and yours.
It also helps support us directly, AND you get loyalty points if you sign up! Win-wins!

I'm making a new silly line for my Redbubble shop. I'm calling it KanaSnacks; simple chunky food doodles w/Japanese label. Started because I just want omurice & would totally wear a shirt that just said "omurice" on it. So I made it. This is now available!

Hey all. Ready for a small mailbag day?
Well here we have a new format added to the Museum. It's CD Video. You know, the short lived audio CD format that could play five minutes of video on your laserdisc player.
Not to be confused with Video CD. Wait. Confusing right?

Data is correct, causal agency is (IMO) incorrect.
The vast majority of ppl who use AI to make images and video have never touched and would never touch Photoshop/AfterEffects/Illustrator/etc. The issue is Adobe trying to squeeze its users with subscriptions, and other customer-hostile behavior.

It is a test of my resolve that I do not post political things on socials, mostly because I feel I have nothing to add, and that it just makes me and people who follow me feel worse.
I'll only say that I continue to regard this era as a forest fire. Be safe. The time for rebuilding will come.

Second, and probably most importantly, it's tactically wrong. "No point discussing political opposition to fascism, there won't be elections anyway" cedes victory to your enemies. It's defeatism and nihilism.

If you are anxious and sad about the state of the world, that's fine, and there are plenty of strategies for dealing with that. But I think you already know that drive-by online dooming isn't a strategy. It's selfish and adolescent. It's a contagion that only spreads the worst of you, not the best.
