Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

Finally getting around to Pokémon Z-A. ...this fuckin' little shit--

Just a total lack of shame from Tiffany Volmer here Embarrassing that you’d have to create a piece of AI art just to suggest you’re “in the spotlight” in the first place. Even if you feel YOUR art and environment isn’t threatened by this stuff, other people have a right to be upset by your apathy.

"I want Bobby Hill to take the shot, because Bobby'll put me down clean."

No new pictures. Where are you at mentally?

I AM BEGGING YOU TO STOP LETTING A FAKE ACCOUNT WITH ZERO FOLLOWERS POSTING THE MOST INSANE TAKE IMAGINABLE GET TO YOU SO MUCH YOU QUOTE TWEET IT INTO MY TIMELINE. I KNOW YOU'RE BETTER THAN THIS, OR I WOULDN'T HAVE FOLLOWED YOU. PLEASE. JUST IGNORE OR BLOCK THEM.

...why do I get the sense that the next mainline game is gonna be called "Like A Dragon: Cancelled" and have box art that looks like a promo for a shitty netflix comedy special?

(Takes a long drag off a cigarette) That's a name I haven't thought about in a long time...

The people who panic on here about these sorts of announcements are the same people who spent last year arguing that 1 silverback gorilla would win against 100 people in a fight.

The trailer for Ted season 2: ...is that fuckin' Brennan Lee Mulligan?

So many cocks, so little time 🐔 Rooster Fighter premieres March 14th at midnight on Adult Swim. Don't miss it 🐥

Before waking people up in the morning, Rooster Fighter is up late fighting on Toonami this March!

Top Gun

Happy "Ichi The Witch Vol. 1 Release Day" for all who celebrate!

This is the golden era to just be a normal dude because dweebs and twerps are exposing themselves at an alarming rate. We have never seen or heard from this many dweebs and twerps at any point in history before this. The dweebs and twerps are here and they're curing droughts with their tears.

Good to see Hitomi Tanaka is getting into franchising.

Clout-chasing pseudo-journalists really need to knock it off with posting old videos without acknowledging when they're from. When people see posts like this, the assumption is that this happened today/yesterday/this week. This video is from September. Do better, @onestpress.onestnetwork.com

The Pitt got greenlit for a season 3, out next February, and the announcement has very funny comment from HBO chairman Casey Bloys that’s like “yeah, turns out if you just make a TV show like how we used to make TV shows you can have a 15+ episode season every year 🤷‍♂️”

...this fuckin' groundhog, I stg

Grammy talk: Going from Leon Thomas to frigging Alex Warren back to back is such a terrible round of mood whiplash that borders on acid reflux. Don’t do that.

Alright, let's see what this Mark I. Plier guy is serving up.

Someone out there is trying to craft "Sriracha Nashville Hot Honey" and will somehow open a portal to cursed dimensions previously unknown to us.

Looks like the cold-ass weather is escalating to the point where even my neck of the woods is catching strays. Supposed to be down to the 30s, maybe a bit less. So not quite snow weather, but prime "iguanas falling out of the trees" weather.

Finally watching the Ted series. John Bennett just gets it, man.

Crunchyroll simulcasts as far back as 2021 that still do not have physical releases: Laid-Back Camp Fairy Ranmaru Yurei Deco Magical Destroyers Skip and Loafer 16bit Sensation: Another Layer Bullbuster Migi & Dali Shy Sengoku Youko Tonari no Yokai-san Mayonaka Punch Bang Brave Bang Bravern Zenshu

"using ai in a leftist way to achieve communist fully automated luxury perfect utopia" you are literally boromir drooling over the idea of using the One Ring. it's a little imp that's destroying the very concept of Shared Reality and you're like "what if we can use it to automate emails better"

One of those days where I wish necromancy was real so that we could bring back Satoshi Kon exclusively to haunt Darren Aronofsky for the rest of his days.

Really interesting convo. I think there's two aspects of "let people enjoy things", 1 valid, 1 not. Not Valid: directed at (or by) critics. Their role is not cheerleaders but actual analysis. Valid: saying you like something shouldn't immediately invite a swarm of combatants calling you wrong

My only response to that A.I. slopfest Revolutionary War series is I wish Satoshi Kon was still alive today so he could drag Darren Aronofsky’s sorry ass a second time.

The only Democratic statements I want to hear about the Trump gestapo are like this, from the awesome Philly DA Larry Krasner. No less truth, no less fire.

my only notes to people under 30: your 30s aren't for ditching fandom, they're for re-evaluating all the "cringe" stuff you liked as a teenager through the lens of someone who can appreciate it fully, going, "that owned, actually," and becoming even more unhinged about it. please look forward to it.

Incredibly, this is an actual photo New York Post used for the guy who attacked Ilhan Omar.

the criticism is not widespread, it comes from a trump admin official, a museum controlled by the white house, and a trump donor's vanity anti-antisemitism organization

Cover Debut! - The Summer Hikaru Died, Vol. 7 Yoshiki and “Hikaru” learn from Tanaka that the only way to stop impurities from flooding the villages is to close the “holes” letting them through. The catch? Holes can only be closed from the other side... Pre-order Here: buff.ly/qaDOXKH

Well maybe you wouldn't have this problem if you just finally committed to Whiskey Friday with Tony Dokoupil!

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream - Nintendo Direct announced for January 29th, 6 AM PT

Laios Touden, unprovoked:

Something that randomly caught my attention: a couple weeks back I wanted to check something related to Blue Exorcist S4, so I checked the episode list on Wikipedia and noticed... a lot of the episodes didn't have synopses.

Gameoverse real???

Looks like #Toonami is adding Blue Lock and Tokyo Revengers to the lineup.

I'm cancelling all of my art. I need time to relax and bounce on some dick. I'll post new art when I feel like it...

We spent the last few days compiling a big list of pretty much *everything* that was delisted, & it came out to be over 100 titles… many of which were not OOP, as stated in the announcement. Just want to give a big thanks & props to our community for helping us out with that big list. You guys rock!

All of this came out of literally nowhere, & we were just as surprised as everyone else to learn what’s going on. Our storefront will hopefully be a new, much less unstable home for our favorite titles and yours. It also helps support us directly, AND you get loyalty points if you sign up! Win-wins!

All joking aside, this legitimately unacceptable @crunchyroll.com. Subtitles for on-screen text should be the default feature regardlesss of whatever language track you're watching, and this is important context that dub viewers are missing out on because you couldn't be bothered to add them

This episode has all the essential food groups: -veterans of the metalcore genre -horse girls -telling A.I. to fuck off The works!

...wait, what's going on with Discotek media?

So does he work like a Mario boss where you attack the obvious glowing weak point?

Pokémon is Coming to Universal Studios Japan & Orlando. https://ow.ly/MBBs50Y171M

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally
