Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from. tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this. 🧵⬇️

the fact that nick fuentes isn’t here but ms rachel is illustrates perfectly that groups like this don’t actually care about antisemitism at all

This story is still bothering me so much. As much as people love to gush about how good Valve is, this kind of totally arbitrary ruling is exactly why it's terrifying to give one company a monopoly. And this is the same company behind the paid mod rollout.

When you throw terms around like that at any inconvenience, all you do is dilute them and do a disservice to people who need accessibility. You're basically taking their need, and associating it with crybabies, which *they absolutely are not*.

as a general rule if you show up dressed like a nazi I ain't asking a lot of questions about your artistic vision

at the end of the day do we believe that art and fashion mean anything? Do aesthetic choices matter, do they communicate something? Do we take art seriously? Fashion choice isn't a void - it is full of reference, invoked imagery - it is supposed to conjure associations, to make you think of an idea

If it: Walks like a nazi, Talks like a nazi, Acts like a nazi, Dresses like a nazi, Has symbolism like a nazi, Has references to nazis, They might just be a nazi. And it’s always been true that there’s an underbelly of nazism and white supremacy in the Anime & VTuber space. I’m not shocked.

Two things: I’m not one to say that a general’s outfit automatically makes you a fascist and I also just don’t care that much about Zentreya But when you crash out and use buzzwords like “woke ideology” or “snowflakes”… it’s not really helping your argument that this is not a nazi thing

unfortunately I think we're long past the point of "benefit of the doubt"

this isn't even about the fucking armband at this point

The only Black Friday I care about

The original video was from 2024 and she posted an update 3 months later after the car repairs were finished. One of the things she says here is that the bank never apologized to her for the car damage incurred by driving into a bollard... www.tiktok.com/@nat.vacca/v...

Watch carefully and you can see right through her eyes into the headrest. #WorldBollardAssociation

Realize there might be other things on sale today...but I'd really appreciate it if you considered buying a physical print of your favorite piece of painfully detailed pixel art instead 😅🙏 That will show Jeff Bezos and the rest!

One of my favorite Douglas Adams quotes: “All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others.” More timely today than ever, don't you think? 💙 #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #BookSky

I just... look we're... we're talking about the horse girl anime and Riverdale. This one was a lot. youtu.be/6_Qhkhk_yio?...

Ask yourself why there wasn’t this level of wall to wall coverage for this shooting wgme.com/news/local/i...

After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!

This shit is why I'm getting less and less work on anime and having to scramble to ask around with YouTubers for help letting me do their CCs just to pay my damn rent. There's enough anime to caption out there that I should not be fucking struggling.

quick aside: in light of yesterday’s anniversary of the murder of 4 students protesting peacefully at Kent State in 1970, it’s worth remembering that the mass movements that have given us the rights we have as Americans today are often not popular in their own time. 9/x

Watching someone who is fluent in Latin slowly realize that general English speakers have never heard the term “transitive verb”

Still think about my Latin professor who 5 weeks into the semester realized that the class didn’t know English grammar well enough for him to be able to explain Latin, so the class suddenly became a simultaneous English grammar & Latin class

Remembering today the late 🇺🇸American-born Hong Kong martial artist, actor and philosopher #BruceLee (27 November 1940 – 20 July 1973) born #OnThisDay in Chinatown, San Francisco, California

On this day in 1981, #SoftCell released their debut studio album, "Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret". The album's success was bolstered by the popularity of the cover version of #GloriaJones song "Tainted Love", which topped the charts worldwide and became the second best-selling British single of 1981.

Happy Thanksgiving

Come for the righteous calling out of IGN and Audible for being complicit in bigotry, but stay for IGN trying desperately to hide all the critical replies (40+ before I stopped counting)! Eat my shit, Rowling, IGN & Audible.

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.

thanksgiving is a time for people to come together, to celebrate the spirit of unity despite our differences, and to demonstrate that, here is busta rhymes performing "break ya neck" with raphael the ninja turtle

Happy 30th anniversary to Cyber Troopers Virtual-On! One of my all time favorite Sega series! They've given up on it for years now! 🙃

I am just short of finished on my Vespid Stingwings I've been working on when I have time. Just needs a couple rocks, varnish, and then plants. Artillery Witch bust is maybe 75% done after a couple days. Needs a bit of dry brushing after doing details and washing it, plus painting the base.
