Spotify recently changed the threshold of how many streams you need to get before you can get paid out. Of course they would love a tool that dilutes the pool even more. Calculated move to never pay anyone for anything. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Posting an anime we love? Bet

Here's a video of top division Grand Sumo wrestler Ichiyamamoto showing off his collection of Wakatakakage merch. Wakatakakage is also a top division wrestler, they're about the same age. Ichiyamamoto is a huge mega fan of him (and he often beats him too!)) youtu.be/dQVSr7PamaI

I did the 48hr challenge in 2018 and 2019, and we won three awards for the efforts. However, I think I'm still proudest of this profoundly stupid 48 second trailer I cut for 'The Trainee', a punchy superhero comedy www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj8g...

and now, your moment of zen. 🎥 (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DYhEwUvv67q/)

Tours of the corner turnbuckles won’t be the same while you’re gone, Shino!

I have an Inside Out ticket for 'Whisperings of the Moon’ (aka Girlfriends) Sunday May 24 at 9pm at the lightbox I can't use, can't cancel it either as i booked it with my industry pass. Free to a good home

trying to find video files from those old 3d CG demoscene discs that used to exist back in the early days of computer CD-ROM drives, but my search terminology is not pulling up anything on archive dot org or anywhere. Like those old demos that looked like that were vaporwaved in Bryce 3d?

Game 1 of the PWHL finals was absolutely insane. Laura Stacey getting what looks like the most painful injury ever (money's on a tibia disclocation), her wife takes her off the ice, she locks the fuck in and sets up game tying goal with 2.1 seconds left. Then a Roque game winning headshot? JEEZ

Jesse Brown goes full mask-off for genocide, clinging to the balls of the ultra fasch Shapiro.

i thought Sailor Moon Crystal suffered hugely from a lack of so-called filler episodes. By the end of the series, I couldn't really tell a difference in personality between Mercury and Mars and that is kinda wild when you consider the original series. No "filler" meant a breakneck pace towards bland

the way wannabe tech bro-adjacents talk about "gotta get on the ai train or be left behind!" sound a lot like how people in Hamilton talk about Hamilton to people in Toronto

The evil has been defeated, balance has been restored

Critically: You must INTENTIONALLY REQUEST expedited processing by including a letter with your citizenship request explaining your situation, along with supporting documentation.

I just pissed myself... this is the movie he is mad that people are calling slop... I demand you watch with the sound on... it is so much worse than you think it is going to be...

The PWHL expanding to Vegas, San Jose, and heckin' Hamilton of all places instead of Chicago, Denver, and Calgary or Winnipeg is baffling. Vegas and SJ didn't even have takeover tour games in the last 3 seasons?? Weird vanity market choices (like with NYC getting shucked into the worst arenas)

Inside of you there are two Yuki Aino's

It just looks like they turned on the DLSS5 for Fox? I don’t need him to be hot but it’d be nice if he looked like there was a skeleton in him that could be animated/moved around

Again, the best time to leave Substack was yesterday. The second-best time to leave Substack is now. Friends don't let friends hang out with Nazis and TERFs

First game i ever imported (still have it)

Richard Dawkins: Trans women aren't real Also Richard Dawkins: AIs are conscious and my Claude is a Claudia

The only LLM I ever wanna hear about is Long Loooooong Man

In a time where pedos are running the US government and heading up billion dollar corporations, i guess I’m not really surprised that there’s an MJ movie that people are kinda excited to see which skips over all the child molestation

Oscar Isaac was in the Criterion Closet and he’s the first guy who I think properly understood that he gets all the movies for free and just overloaded the bag

Undertone (2026)

Raspberry i had a mole sliced right off

Funny thing about that last part. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

I'm not sure how indie #gamedev is supposed to be like, but I always thought it would be avoiding the exploitation of your fellow workers. Is #indiedev really just as wicked as AAA?

I still remain astonished that Blockbuster, known for price gouging, ridiculous late fees, ambitions of a monopoly and censorship of films, has become a nostalgia beacon. For the kids, it would be like everyone suddenly sighing about the warm summer days at Walmart.

Phrasing

Promise?

Boreish Liberals will call Pro Wrestling Gay because they think all fans of it are Bigoted Conservatives. Meanwhile, true graps fans enjoy matches like Parrow's Twink Hunter Tag Gauntlet. 🤼‍♂️

If people think AI can do what a person does, then the bar they set for what people do is too low and their egos are too high. They deserve pushback for their arrogance, at minimum.

Something that's important is the cultivation of a stance that is deliberate in it's opposition to AI. This is done in order to not anthropomorphize it or romanticize it, or to fall prey to any of the other misconceptions that result in any loss of agency over our lives.

doctor said I "have really excellent cholesterol levels" but also I have cholesterol buildup in my carotid artery (that's the only artery name I know!?) so now I'm on medication forever I love aging

Show this to runners to make them understand why writers hate AI.

Game of the year. @health.band

watched TJPW's Grand Princess finally, and whoever the guy is who keeps joining Mr Haku on TJPW commentary, all he does is brag about how he doesn't know anything about any of the wrestlers. he sucks to listen to, especially when he talks nonsense over Kira and Mr Haku

Got an email this afternoon with the sig line "I don’t knowingly use AI for anything I do, ever" and I sure hope this catches on

HEALTH x CARPENTER BRUTx DESIRE was insane

Dishwashing machines are dumb, I’d rather spend the two minutes it takes to do them by hand after eating, and i wash the prep dishes as i make dinner to limit how much needs doing after. And there’s no way i use more water than the machine

Fade In Professional for screenplays. Final Draft has always been hot garbage, exorbitantly priced, and overstuffed with shit no one needs. Fade In Pro does everything I need (and plenty more I don't) for a single price with no version upgrade costs (been using it for a decade now)

it is wild how many meetings they have readily available. Likely boils down to attendees using browser plugins (that they don't actually make) that are vulnerable and WebinarTV exploits to gain access to meetings via those vulnerabilities.

My god i hate this banker and Evan Solomon so much

It takes a lot to astonish me, but: *FIVE YEARS* AFTER IT WAS FIRST PUBLISHED, RED X HAS RECEIVED A STARRED REVIEW FROM PUBLISHERS WEEKLY. I did not think this was even possible. Thank you to everyone and most of all to me because I did the fucking thing. www.publishersweekly.com/9781641298476

the gag fights at TJPW house shows are incredible. In Shion Kanzaki's debut, she was transformed into a horse Umamusume-style and forced to race in a "match" where Hyper Misao and Shoko had to bet on a 3-way race around the venue

meanwhile this same person probably misses the key information later because they're on their phone searching for the party-pop emoji to reply to a group chat meme message
