LRT: there’s a reason everyone who works in Japanese media localization is rallying around Jan’s statement here. Anime, manga, and games are seemingly bigger than ever and none of the creatives involved in getting that media into English are making any money.

If anyone ever says “oh I just listen to everything” no they don’t only my mom can claim this My 48 y/o mother shuffles her liked songs, you could get: Disney, screamo, emo SoundCloud rap, 80s pop, Undertale fan songs, shitty country music… I still haven’t found something she doesn’t listen to

I’ve never been the same since the day Ben told me that the guy who voices Syndrome from The Incredibles is the same guy who plays Dave in the live action Alvin and the Chipmunks movies

It's hard to find where to appropriately ask this, but anyone in need of some comic/webcomic process help? Lettering, flats, thumbnails, etc? I need a gig or two to help me financially, and wondering if this is a niche that needs to be filled!

Sorry to bother y’all again, but I need to get a few things for my family - prescriptions for my sister and I, sundries for my grandma, and hopefully a coffee for myself. The cost is about $35-$40 for all of it. If you’re in a position to donate, I’d greatly appreciate it. CA: $MadeleineButtitta

Deltarune and the Jim Henson film Labyrinth share the same core theme: “escapism is a powerful tool for getting through hard times and processing trauma, but one must be careful not to become fully consumed in it, lest one abandon the real people who need you outside of it” In this essay I w—

EXCLUSIVE: 404 Media placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it, and found an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books. @evystadium.bsky.social has more. Investigation by @emanuelmaiberg.bsky.social here: www.404media.co/we-tracked-a...

I have some thoughts about the new Spider-man that I will try to draw a comic about but for now here is this prescient comic from *2016*

I don't why the description has so much text. Here, I fixed it for Saber Interactive.

Saber finally added the AI disclosure to Steam for Rideshare “Stimulator” and it’s even worse than I said it was. I can see why the CEO crashed out when I pointed it out.

I actually think there could be a lot of interesting work done with character voices if there was more than like 5 black people in localization but as we like to say it is what it is

The crazy thing is television writers aren't NEARLY as rich and famous as some of the actors they're bringing in. I imagine the industry is a pain in the ass. And yet, THEY still stuck to their fucking morals and told Joanne to fuck off TWICE. There's no fuckin' excuse at this point.

a banner found above the front doors of the police HQ in Madison, Wisconsin this morning stated: “Arrest the killer cop, 608-266-4211.”

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Actually you should hire me to write for you. I've written for indie animation and games, I've even done stand up comedy in Tokyo. I'm an accomplished comedy and romance writer. I turn people bisexual on the daily. You should... you should give me money... to write? And direct your actors too
