the IQ meme, except it's every video essay about popular media, and the center is correct because because the far ends are grifts.

it's just the fact of the matter. what did you think "no ethical consumption under capitalism" meant?

I had to search real hard to find Coral Crown among the soundtrack. it then led me to Vampirate Odessa, who did a cover

TBH, I was partially concerned the systems might be automated.

was Farsi voice acting always this way? I feel I need to be told it's Farsi to even realize I can understand it.

it ultimately boils down to which evils you are willing to fund to have your needs met.

the theme song was really good, but let's be honest, the show itself is comfort food for people with no taste to watch on repeat.

horseshoes aside, Fox News is literally the top source of misinformation in this country. 🤦‍♂️

first off, the people who are against Rowling will absolutely harass the children, and it is tribalist delusion to say otherwise. second, don't harass the adults either like a tool. the only person who should recieve anything resembling harassment here is Joanne herself.

I saw someone on YouTube say that propaganda appeals to people who already agree with its message, rather than actually change people's minds. this is just another example of that.

the issue with gen AI is that art, engineering, etc, requires human intent. it could theoretically be used as a tool to realize human artists' intent rather than just generate slop. the problem is corpos want to use it to just remove the human element.

all I'll say is, giving Joanne creative control will make this into a worse product than the movies.

I feel sorry for the kids because they'll grow up being harrassed.

Bondforged Zoob @zoobmer.bsky.social · 1d

wait, red and yellow titled? 🤔 I'm trying real hard to figure out who you even mean?

Bondforged Zoob @zoobmer.bsky.social · 2d

okay. but is it enforcible?

Bondforged Zoob @zoobmer.bsky.social · 2d

I had no clue Monkey Wrench was so low! I haven't even heard of most of these.

we have left wing people; just no one who is so far left they'd commit fucking terrorism because of it.

The Ass is the father of the legs @internethippo.bsky.social · 2d

One of the reasons they're having trouble concocting a Left Wing Terrorism epidemic is basically nobody in this country has ever met a left wing person. You might as well say we're being invaded by the smurfs

Bondforged Zoob @zoobmer.bsky.social · 2d

I consider people on Bluesky who refuse to vote Democrat because Democrats are too right wing, to be left wing people. after all, our two party system is basically center vs. far right at the time being. left wing terrorists though... I don't think we have anyone that far left?

whenever #GhostofYotei comes to PC, the first mod we need is a "friendly bears" mod which makes all bears friendly.

I'm honestly so bad at research, someone replied with a jumble of threads to answer my question, and I couldn't sort through the info.

Bondforged Zoob @zoobmer.bsky.social · 2d

wild this is getting likes since I'm pretty sure I'm on multiple blocklists for insisting this is typical horrors of war. 🥴
