Look animation is the bane of modern financialization. Its slow, expensive, and requires specialized knowledge. Its also always popular. They can’t help but try to destroy it along the way. But it never dies.

Was just told by a startup mag that they "aren’t hiring for any paid writing or editing roles, but are definitely on the lookout for staff writers and staff editors that are in it for the love of the game and a portfolio project" like damn I thought "pay you in exposure" was overwrought

I think it's important to know that an oral history of Tim Curry's greatest line delivery exists
here it is

Today is the 50th anniversary of Jenette Kahn becoming the publisher at DC Comics, an absolute watershed moment in American comics history, both business-wise and creatively.

The toxic rot at the heart of this slowly collapsing Empire is weaponized transphobia.
The only way to fight it, like the prerequisite for fighting it, is absolutely unimpeachable full throated stentorian acceptance, support, and allegiance to trans people. Anything less is capitulation.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

ICE halts "all movement" at Texas detention facility due to measles infections
The measles cases at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center were detected Friday, Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement to CBS News.

"I won MN three times but I got no credit for it" is just batshit crazy dementia talk. He genuinely thinks he kept winning and "they" just kept stealing it from him. It's like he thinks squirrels stole his glasses, or the wind is saying mean things about him. This can't go on much longer.
Trump: "Minnesota is a mess. There's something in the water up there. I won the 3 three times but I got no credit for it. It's a rigged state. Really rigged badly w/ the Somalians, and the Somalians & the theft. We gotta get 'em out, most of them. 92% don't work. Many of them drive Mercedes-Benzes."

Yes you had people logging in every day to play it and yes you captured a whole new demographic of gamers and yes they were evangelizing it to their friends, but they weren't taking business meetings in VR or some shit so I guess it had to die

very typical of meta to stumble into a thriving and successful *living game* in VR and drive it into the ground
Here’s a story I’ve been working on for a few weeks.
Over 50 Supernatural fans reached out to share how a VR fitness game changed their lives — and they had choice words about how Mark Zuckerberg and Meta killed the one thing that brought them together.

Also worth remembering that the gentry extends well beyond the ultra-gentry with national/worldwide influence.
The gentry is functionally the upper-middle class and above. Lo and behold, many of those driving the worst otg attacks on trans folks in local spots come from their ranks too.

The current trans genocide push is planned, coordinated and carried out by megachurch pastors, nepobaby media barons, billionaire bigots, influential academics, tech magnates, literal aristocrats. That's been clear for awhile, but we're seeing more proof every day.

So, let's elaborate a bit: transphobia is obviously not the exclusive domain of the gentry. This is a pervasively transphobic society and it shows up in all kinds of places.
But the kind of escalated, concerted attacks that rise to the level of genocidal threat are very much pushed by the gentry...

Trans people are an overwhelmingly working class demographic. Our communities, organizing and resistance poses a threat to the hierarchies the gentry (even the "progressive" ones, even the handful of gatekeeping trans gentry) rely on.
The oppression of trans people is also a front in the class war.

In case you missed yesterday’s review, I am kicking off my month of Australia-themed silent movies
This week's review covers THE COMING OF AMOS (1925), all about an Australian who travels to Cannes and tangles with a Russian princess and her serial killer ex.
Since this is a Hollywood production, the finale hinges on a boomerang.

People who may want to have children in the future should bear this in mind: tear gas can have serious consequences for female reproductive health. The data on this isn't great but I would at least recommend ensuring you have a quality respirator or mask on at all times.

I will *bite* people who look down on regular Romance readers, but assuming I am one because I am a woman (Even one who loves fantasy!) is still incredibly fucked up, and the misogyny in that equation isn't mine.

I used to tell my students, who were almost always reflexively against UBI, that it'd take the bullets out of the gun. Imagine if employers had to make employment attractive? If they couldn't threaten you with hunger and homelessness? Or waste your time
Can we take a moment to really think about exactly what UBI would accomplish?
Universal Basic Income provides workers with leverage.
It would allow me to tell employers "sorry, this pay-rate is too low, I'm going to keep withholding my labor until your pay-rate improves."
