1983 Worldcon in Maryland at the Baltimore convention center

“I don’t know why people expect art to make sense. They accept the fact that life doesn’t make sense.” — David Lynch

some of those 1983 Worldcon pix and other 80s and 90s cosplay photos made it into this Let's Anime column that is now itself almost twenty years old letsanime.blogspot.com/2008/10/cosp...

my firm take is that any man loudly worried about fertility rates is a fucking creep

For the love of Gritty PLEASE contact your reps and demand a push for this to be approved here in the states. At the very least do it for at-risk folks like myself.

This film was peak Transformers.

Just a reminder that like every other of the like 20 "we need to investigate trans and antifa terrorists" XOs that this admin has signed, there's no real actionable items in this nor any mechanism for investigation. This is scare theater

WHAT THE FUCK?!

And she draws on your face.

Reminder, just because a politician seems to be on your side more than most doesn't mean you stop holding their feet to the fire. Even the friendliest of them are still people in power that need to be held to account.

"Let people enjoy things" applies to things like not mocking adults for playing video games or watching cartoons. It was never meant to refer to shit like Harry Potter or gen AI.

Streamers: a site called 101Soundboards.com has scraped streamer clips to make AI TTS Voice boards. If you don’t think you’ve been affected, look anyway. I did and, luckily, mine was taken down before I could submit my takedown demand. Just check and, if you have one up, demand a takedown.

Drop an alien thats not from Star Wars or Star Trek.

This is all because of the rise of A.I. Data centres need RAMM to keep them running and causing the RAMM storage. But people are going to blame Nintendo and Sony for the price raise.

public service announcement: please never save fan art and then post it again online without credit to the original artist. If you're going to save it, it's a good idea to put the artist's name in the file name so that you don't forget.

Man the hate grifter clout goblins are so exhausting, especially around Nintendo investor meetings It's always hard to tell if they are just playing a role for clicks, or if they truly are dumb as a bag of rocks.

When I mop the floor at work and the kids don’t even see the wet floor signs.

Always say NO to Fascists & Racists! They suck!

Science is not truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

If American history was taught correctly.

And yes, people have been cheated on. It sucks, but it ain't the default assumption one should take that your partner will or that the person they're with is some homewrecking seducer out to destroy your relationship. Don't be a weirdo, FFS.

Long story short, Lina was getting a bunch of dipshit replies from randos saying men aren't allowed to hang out with other women than their wives (we'll ignore the heteronormativity for a sec) for various stupid sexist reasons. Don't be a weirdo, people. You can and should trust your partner.

The internet was originally the digital library of all human knowledge and creativity. It's so sad how now it has become the largest spreader of lies, propaganda, and misinformation. You can blame much of that on social media and the algorithms.

Good!

Real mature Angel Studios. Even Roland Emmerich showed restraint when he mocked Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert in Godzilla 1998.

...How?

Eliza McLamb had an apt analogy abt modern fandoms: Fans no longer treat creators as creators. Fans treat creators like stock options they’ve invested in; like they’re part owners of a creator’s work just by *being fans*, and therefore get a say in what creators make/how they act. And it sucks.

Bowser: Fuck AI. I painted this with my hands!

The 90s cartoon has more balls than you.

@bsky.app we don’t want AI. We want an edit post feature. Even Deviantart and Twitter have edit post features. Why are you so afraid of the most basic feature?

The final card for the Super Mario Galaxy Movie app couldn't be more perfect lol

Love the colors. But it’s trash.

The phrase “Epstein was Right.” Should never be used again.

The movie that was nearly a Tax-write off announcing its trailer on Tax Day. 😏 Ketchup Entertainment is throwing shade like a tree and I'm here for it! 🌳 #GoSeeCoyoteVsAcme

The '93 Mario movie is more interesting than the '23 Mario movie, I'll rewatch it anytime for the sheer absurdity of the project. But it's no less a corporate product than the later film. It's just that '93 is born out of consumer apathy while '23 is born out of consumer loyalty.

we gotta stop acting like the anime industry isn't just as sexist about media for girls/women as american companies

QTP with a trio of awesomeness!

Probably one of the only Mario OCs I'll ever create in my entire life. Anyway, this Luma eventually becomes the Shroobs' home planet in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. #SuperMarioGalaxy #Mario&LuigiPartnersinTime #Shroobs #Luma

Isn't it crazy that both of these guys just went to the filmmakers and said, "Hey, I wanna play that guy." And filmmakers were like, "Sure."
