We're in an era of anime caring about international optics, but also one where high-profile studios are filled with people who make Sam Altman look like an AI skeptic, where all sci-fi veterans have developed severe ChatGPT psychosis.

Let us examine the set of circumstances that led to this Eulimnadia clam shrimp living out its entire live cycle in a styrofoam cup on the ground.
Brain: “yo, what up, it’s your gal hormones here to make you want to kill everyone this week! Your happy pills aren’t gonna be able to keep these emotions at bay!” Me: “greeeeeat. I’ll try not to get fired.”

I randomly remembered this sick map I made for a DnD campaign I was running 10 years ago. It fell apart, like most games do, but I'm still proud of this map. Feel free to use it to build your own campaign around!
It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better
Pals! We are so close to making ANATOMY OF MONSTERS! We might even make the goal today if SUPER AWESOME PALS JUMPED IN. But where could one find such super awesome pals? Where could one put out the call??? --> www.kickstarter.com/projects/sma...
“Man, these cartoons we watched as kids really wanted us to believe quicksand was a hazard we’d always be dealing with.” (Learns this week a neighbor almost died via quicksand in his backyard and his daughter arrived to find him prone after having dug himself out.)

The #BronzeAge #UptonLovellShaman's burial in Wiltshire has long been considered an important religious figure & metalworker. It's been barely questioned someone of such status must be male. But now #aDNA analysis revealed that the body is in fact: a woman. 🏺 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We've gotta make the Monorail Simpsons episode required viewing for every city councilor in the country. Every single thing he says here is a lie. A Potemkin Village Imaginarium.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d agoHassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."
Fucking coworkers decide to use my desk to play a loud video and one runs off with a markup for billing thinking I was handing it to her. Bitch, that goes back to the boss “no, I got it” no you fucking don’t! What the hell! How many birches do I gotta smack up today!??!
I don’t know what kind of fucking magic Apple TV productions are on with their sci-fi adaptations, but the fact that at least two authors are very happy with how their properties turned out seems to be something of an anomaly.
No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
AI labs buy, scan, shred millions of rare books
If you have retreated to physical books because the internet is too full of AI slop, bad news — now they’re shredding the books to feed their AI slop machines.

Musk insisting storebought tomatoes are better than homegrown tomatoes is the most perfect distillation of how ignorant he is of daily human life and the small joys therein.
Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 2w agoAnother odd moment occurred when Musk insisted that work in the future would be "optional" because robots would do everything. Musk said people might still work in the future but compared it to people who grow their own backyard tomatoes. He said they could just go to the store for better tomatoes.
Pixar has just been utterly gutted of almost all its veterans. My partner Jamie has made it, but many of our friends have not. It is incredibly devastating.
Cartoon Brew@cartoonbrew.bsky.social · 2w agoDespite already grossing more than $1.2 billion at the box office this year, Pixar is among the divisions hit hardest by Disney’s latest layoffs. Sources tell us future films will be made by smaller teams under a new “long and lean” production model. www.cartoonbrew.com/artist-right...
