New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings “Big tech has made their choice” www.404media.co/google-has-c...

Yeah, I’m mad The folks at Azuki have done great work over the years, and they were at it a good while before AI grifters with too much money decided to take their name This is a sadly perfect analogy of the rancid spirit that powers the creative theft behind generative AI All the best to Omoi

Probably still looking for one of the sales chart collectibles scattered around the map

I cannot stress enough that you should not in any circumstances be using an AI-generated summary when you are signing contracts of any kind DocuSign scrambling onto the anxiety-fuelled AI slop festival.....

The Bugle Call: Song of War continues to be a really good read, and also this character design continues to be perfect.

Oshii animating Amano remains as much a fever dream as when I watched Angel's Egg 20-odd years ago, but it's a gorgeous fever dream with this new restoration. That said, jesus, it gets LOUD and you may want to consider bringing some earplugs, especially if you're getting Dolby'd.

The 4K restoration of Mamoru Oshii's ANGEL'S EGG is playing in select Dolby Cinema locations today, November 12, for one night only. ✨ In theatres nationwide November 19 & 20. 🥚 Get tickets: brnw.ch/21wXoFR

we gotta get like three VPNs deep with signal chats set to a disappearing turnaround of minutes to be able to use adult words instead of "unalive" or "grape" meanwhile our political elite are apparently just emailing each other plaintext "up for sex crimes tonight ?"

Wow. Can't say much else. The overhead corona was unbelievable. The most intense reds and greens. ❤️💚😍💃 She'll be dancing until sunrise. I visited Franconia Sculpture Park over summer and it has been on my aurora photo bucket list ever since. That's where I went last night. Schafer, Minnesota.

Happy Exploding Whale Of Oregon Day to all those who celebrate.

Curse you, autofocus

IT GOT BETTER 📍Central MN

Virgin Punk: Umetsu gonna Umetsu ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Clock(work)ing at 35min, it really just gets in, drops some action scenes/worldbuilding, and gets out, leaving things hanging for future installments on whatever timeline that requires because he's drawing pretty much all of the character stuff analog.

Anyone heading to Virgin Punk, there's no preshow trailers, so you'd better hustle

That's a wrap on the first season of Slow Horses, very much my sort of spook show, and I'm looking forward to catching up on the rest.

Love to see it.

No, using AI generated stuff as a "placeholder" on your crowdfunding campaign is not OK either. If the visuals are THAT important to getting your project funded, then you need to pay a person up front for those key visuals and deliver a consistent end product to your backers.

There is SO much high-resolution Metal Gear Solid art in this collection (from CD 193 archive.gamehistory.org/item/8a5db5f...)

"Per compliance policy, certain AI-generated fields cannot be updated by clinical staff" is a managerial decision that will lead to prolonged suffering and preventable death. Having to escalate these fuck-ups to be reviewed by higher levels within the bureaucracy is a waste of time and resources.

Some good news (at least for now).

Stockpile Sunday hits the midpoint of Space Pirate Captain Harlock this evening, and brings some strong character-driven episodes to the table, with big ones for Kei, Miime, and the chief engineer who was previously a very minor character but gets a surprise focus across several episodes. Gohrum.

Screaming goose: WHAT CULTURAL ELEMENTS?!

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST WALMART. (This is real. I took the screenshots.)

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

Good used finds today- the old VIZ DVD release of Linda Linda Linda, a Sailor Moon R Gameboy cart, and a mid-90s Romanian bootleg version of the Blade Runner soundtrack.

Love those Old Internet In Physical Form jumpscares.

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it.

r/anime has begun a Rose of Versailles rewatch and I'm dying at some of the first-timers

Sanda (2025)

Ohhh

Absolutely WILD that the development of sofrware proceeded with so little heed to record-keeping that 52 year old source code is a major archaeological trove that requires special tools to gain access to, like it's a treasure room in a sealed royal tomb from 3500 years ago.

There are Chobits everywhere for those with eyes to see

The notes vs the size of the notes. Once again, Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games is great, and the team at Seven Seas is going way harder than they need to.

I am not fucking joking when I say the English-speaking video game world would be nothing without GameFAQs. Everyone and their mom used it (literally, my mom and all her friends). If you played video games in the 2000s you probably knew GameFAQs in the same way most people know, like, Wikipedia

Chasing Frankenstein down with the whole run of Tatsuki Fujimoto's 17-26, that's a whole lot of different moods tonight. Ranging from good to great (personally 8 ~ 6 ~ 1 > 3 > 7 > 2 > 4 > 5), with a few of them getting elevated in their adaptation, it's well worth checking out.

Lol. I searched "Best New Nature Documentaries" in Google and got this

It should be legal to bow-hunt these people for sport.

This isn’t all of SCOTUS. It’s Jackson. The First Circuit is very liberal. This kicks it back to them for a ruling and keeps the rest of SCOTUS away from it for now. A couple of days vs possibly much worse. It’s gross that this is how the system works but it is actually how it works.

Ok, reading the ruling, there actually may have been a reason for the stay. Consider who’s behind it. It’s so fucked up that this may have been the better logistical way to handle it. A couple of days of screaming vs the conservative wing making it long term worse. We’ll see.

And that's Frankenstein. Wish I'd made it to the theater during its brief run, but excellence from del Toro as always.

Wild that it takes a judge ruling that laws do actually need to be followed for them to do it but good news nonetheless

“0% woke shit” a black man with a physical disability leads an environmental terrorist cell trying to save the planet from mega-billionaires and you play as a cross dressing twink femdomed by two different women ending and the final boss against the gayest angel of all time

people measurably don’t want to pay for AI-generated content. you can’t grow a business off of a product no one will pay for. you don’t need to be an AI skeptic to understand that using AI like this will kill your business.
