Stay safe, everyone. Stay alive. Get weird with it if that's what helps you live your values. Be here; be queer. Protect your friends and loved ones. This ride ain't over yet.

The Markiplier situation with Iron Lung shows just how efficiently movies can turn a buck into two, but the entire industry is on fire because no one wants to just get rich, they want to turn fifty cents into a billion.

Bluesky-exclusive update: The next Ultra Retrospective is a remake of the very first one I did on Return of Ultraman. It's always stuck out like a sore thumb compared to the others so this has been a long time coming.

Rando thought: Something I always loved about the old Ultraman show that I am very surprised has not only not been done to death, but barely touched is that the show format was very much like if one of the members of Challengers of the Unknown was Clark Kent.

Terrorism is the calculated use of violence or threat of violence to induce fear, intending to coerce governments or societies to achieve political, religious, or ideological goals. It often targets civilians and critical infrastructure to disrupt safety and advance specific agendas.

So, fun fact: I went back and played Morrowind with basically no mods (I had a patch that fixed a few minor bugs and extended the draw distance) and, like, holy shit it fucking rules
very funny to watch a movie with a meticulous and loving 20 minute long silent film sequence that recreates many of the best special effects of the era and then come home and read this bethesda interview

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I know that "One day, everyone will have always been against this," was coined as a scathing indictment, but increasingly, I have been thinking that possibility is actually our last, best forlorn hope to be a functioning society again, someday.
Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?

Happy new year, y'all!
Here's to the joy we will carve out in defiance of fascism. Let this year be the turning point to something brighter, and let it be our joy that lights the way.

The confusion and conflation of ‘generative ai that is built on stolen artwork’ and ‘machine learning, character behaviour modelling and proc gen’ is intentional on the part of the grifters peddling the former. They benefit from murkiness of classification, because the latter predates their bollocks

The Shadow is in the public domain as of 2026.
But only as a mysterious narrator. The pulp hero version goes PD next year, and in 2033 he’ll be able to cloud men’s minds so they cannot see him.

Journos need to always challenge the right-wing framing of "antifa" being a specific organisation that can be banned or restricted. Just straight up be like "but that's nonsense, it doesn't exist" every time

This is why the costumes are honestly brilliant. Ngo, who has never said a truthful thing in his entire life (remember the concrete milkshake?) now has to convince people inflatable Sesame Street and animal costumes are violent terrorists.
Sometimes you just need an image too silly to demonize.

People make fun of me when I take the ribs off their plate that they did not eat to completion but frankly it's on you if you didn't eat them properly
I get roasted by the fam cuz when I eat chicken wings I leave the bones (including the tiny wing ones) dry and bleached like a fallout death screen, but I just like cartilage alot. Same applies to ribs and stuff of that nature, so I felt your fish example.

The Japanese Mario 64 official strategy guide is an incredible thing. "Can we make little hand-made dioramas of all the levels?" "Sure, why the hell not."

I liked when James Baxter used to do occasional guest spots on animated TV shows. I assume studios had a bat signal for him, except instead of a static bat it was a horse running in perspective towards the camera while the camera rotated around it
