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. 🧵⬇️

"I, too, prefer the country mouse." ⛓️🐀🩸 Seriously, I should make a "Punch Me for $5" sign for next time I see the CSM movie cosplaying as Makima, lmao Photos by @john_fuzz on Instagram! #chainsawman #makima

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

The thing about CrunchyRoll’s enshittification is that normally I’m a big proponent of supporting official channels but if the money from subscriptions isn’t being used to pay talent and labour and the quality suffers as a result, then morally what’s the purpose of supporting those official means?

All the meltdowns about free speech while the right turned out to be the cancel culture all along

What a great headline

i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

Nintendo used their time at the Thanksgiving Day Parade to promote Switch 2 and the Super Mario Galaxy Movie. They were even playing the Gusty Garden Galaxy theme as the balloon went by.

Today’s the warmest it will be for a while where I live, so tried to do as much paint work for Samus as I could… Giving everything a solid gloss black base coat before airbrush painting… #samus #metroid #cosplay

My cat does this too

A Campbell's Soup exec on a recording: “We have sh*t for f**king poor people. Who buys our sh*t? . . . It’s not healthy now that I know what the f**ks in it . . . bioengineered meat, I don’t wanna eat a piece of chicken that came from a 3D printer.” Oops! www.thecampbellscompany.com/newsroom/new...

Now, remind me again that non-Americans should mind their own business.

Kinda shows the level of elite capture in this country when the guy with the lowest approval ratings in history is going “hey you fat pig! I’m going to hamburger conference to say fish sandwich! Also not a sex offender!” and the news is just starting to be like huh wonder if this guy is unpopular

A party that couldn't endorse Mamdani. . . has room for Marjorie Taylor Greene The party can burn in hell

MeToo did not go far enough. People were saying "MeToo has gone too far" when it had barely just picked up momentum. It was an attempt at reckoning with how institutionally misogynistic and sexually exploitative most institutions are and what women are constantly put through. So it was crushed.

My #SuperlativeCannedGoo tweet from the old place is making rounds again. Support co-op cranberry growers!

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

I feel so damn cool

It explains MAGA perfectly as well. White men have to settle for 95% of the power instead of 100%, and they try to destroy us all. And their followers are so hopped up on that same racism and sexism, they're happy to join in even as they watch it destroy their lives.

This is what I told my Dad last night: The TACO presidency is not over, but his aura of invincibility is. It’s not one thing. It’s the cumulative effect of a shit economy, wildly unpopular tariffs, ICE terrorizing communities, his flip flopping on H-1B visas, redistricting not going all that well

The difference between the sociopathic and non-sociopathic takes is really quite stark

Do republicans yelling at us about Bill Clinton realize most of us were children during his administration and legally prohibited from voting? lol This is supposed to be some kind of gotcha? If he did bad things throw him in jail. I do not have Bill Clinton flags in my boat. (I do not have a boat).

If true, this would be the most unsubtle metaphor ever for the duopoly

patton oswalt has been suspended from bluesky for saying that megyn kelly should be fed to a woodchipper for justifying the sexual abuse of minors

Seeing Trump's team panic and start shoving journalists out of the room today after one asked about Epstein felt cathartic because you know they're PANICKED. Good. I hope they all have heart attacks.

This shit still gets me. They’re On Here blaming voters for Harris’s loss when voters put Biden in in the first place to take care of Trump and he just… didn’t. And then they blamed the voters! Like y’all we have you a trifecta in 2021-22 and you did jack diddly shit with it.

Whole bunch of stuff beginning to make a lot of sense.

petro is so beast

Want to learn something interesting about your member of Congress? Watch which ones announce now that they will vote to release the Epstein files next week and which ones are waiting to see whether it’s politically safe for them to oppose child rape. www.politico.com/live-updates...

jeffrey epstein spent thanksgiving *2017* with President Donald Trump at Mar a Lago and we only know this now i'm going to go insane

Remember how right before the last election a bombshell report revealed that Epstein had intimate knowledge of the inner workings of the first Trump administration and the media just refused to cover it and Trump ended up winning

good morning I'm alive

listen, we've all had a lot of fun today learning that we truly are ruled by a pedophiliac cabal that permeates every level of big business and government, but also let's not take our eye off the fact that the senate Dems completely betrayed their base and must be primaried until they're all gone

So is Harvard going to launch an investigation into Larry Summers, his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, and the use of university resources to support him?

Democrats and Republicans aren’t going to stop it. They’re all in on it. The Boomers, anyway.

just a heads up to ambitious people disillusioned with today's politics: if you form a party called the "anti-pedophile party" i'm pretty sure that would go well.

PBS did us a solid and dropped the whole Epstein emails. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

The president of the united states is a pedophile rapist who was best buddies with Jeffrey Epstein and spent hours with an underage victim at Epstein's home. Now he's currently huddled in the situation room directing a cover up about it like it's a seal team 6 operation. Do I have that right?

Lutnick is the current Secretary of Commerce and Epstein sent this email three months before he died.

Please don’t do this, America. Please don’t act like the Trump-Epstein emails we saw today were our first glimpse of something. Don’t buy the narrative that these emails are useful because they *hint* at misconduct. We *know* there was misconduct. You can read a fully sourced book on it for free:

i've braved the conservative reddit to bring you an update on the dumbest people alive: they have decided that the narrative is actually Trump knew Epstein was trafficking young girls and heroically banned him from Maralago, because he is a hero

Kendzior, probably the most prominent chronicler of the corruption of the elites in America, suspended for 72 hours right before a massive drop of Epstein emails hits. For a post a month old that’s obviously a lyrics reference to Folsom Prison Blues, on an article about Johnny Cash. I mean ffs.

What is absolutely amazing, if you think about it, is that Trump believed that he could actually go in and edit himself out of the Epstein files and then release them to destroy his enemies. Not just block or stop the truth from getting out, but actually edit and rewrite it.

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.
