When we say AI is the aesthetic of fascism...

Gen Z Shoppers Aren’t Spending Like Retailers Need Them To More than other generations, 20-somethings are tightening their holiday-season budgets because of economic pressures.

“So the plan is to replace all their jobs with AI”

Five minutes later: “what do you mean, broke people don’t spend as much?”

"Pls throw?" meme template. Dog labelled "Capitalists" and holding money: "Pls spend?" An arm labelled "Gen Z" reaches for the money being held. Capitalists: "No wage! Only spend!"

It is time for millennials to pass the torch.

Or take turns carrying it because who tf can afford a new torch these days.

Mebs @Ambaaargh on twitter: "Millennial culture is daydreaming how much you'd help your friends if you were ever to get rich."

Oofta, been feeling this one a bit lately.

Not sure who needs to see this right now, but if it's you? Then I hope it helps.
You're going to be ok, you're just really high right now.

Creature...

It's that time!

I think got mostof it back up and running. except my mic.
My mic jsut seems... dead. WTF!?

Uuuuuuugh,. apparently no stream today, cos everything has decided to stop working. no damned clue why.

Skip forward to January 2015. I commission the artist Suacy/Muyu to draw a pic of my fursona getting it on with a tentacle monster.

Sooooo,.. we can conclude that eliminating the rich, and fighting facists, gets us good porn. Q.E.D.

Urotsukidōji is widely regarded as a the formative work in the hentai genre, and certainly can be credited with popularising the tentacle monster trope in hentai, and raising awareness of, and curiosity about, anime among younger GenX and Elder Millennials, in the west.

WW2 is the is the driving force for the rise of anime as form of mass media in Japan, and it flourishes in the post-war years and kickstarted the caeer of Toshio Maeda
A few decades later, in 1987, the anime of Toshio Maeda's Urotsukidōji (Legend of the Overfiend) is released.

After WW1 that carrier technology is acquired by the empire of Japan, which be a critical in giving the Japanese navy the flexibility needed for the empire's attack on Perl Harbour a couple of decades later.

The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand kicks off WW1
WW1 western front is the impetus for the development of aircraft in warfare.
During this time Britain develops the first aircraft carrier ships

ok, so I actually DO have thought process on this.

Ummmmmm,.... what?
I'm legitimately confused by this job posting.
Do we need ALL the genders?
No where in the details does it explain!

We'd forgotten how nice it feels to see yourself in a story and not be cast as a monster.
Representation matters :)

Just finished a sapphic romance novel where one of the main couple has DID.
Feels... Weird.
Good weird, but ya know...
It's rare to see decent, sympathetic, DID representation in anything, and I think this is the only romance we've seen.

I’m okay with buying a HP Lovecraft book because his xenophobic racist ass is dead and no longer actively harming folks. You can’t say the same about JK’s terf ass. You are actively helping her continue to hurt people.

We saw you from across the bar and really dig your vibe

A comic strip based off of the television show "Bluey." It is recreating the opening theme, where four anthropomorphic dogs dance in a blue background. In the first panel, three of the dogs are pointing at the mother dog, who has the word "mum" over her. In the second panel, three dogs are pointing at the father dog, who has the word "dad" over him. In the third panel, suddenly Tom Servo from the television show Mystery Science Theater 3000 is hovering in the middle of the panel. He is a res robot made out of a gumball machine. He has the words "Tom Servo" floating over him. The dogs look surprised and alarmed. In the final panel, Crow T Robot from Mystery Science Theater 3000 has also joined in, he is a gold robot made out of a bowling pin, athletic wire mask, and other stuff, and he is practically popping out of the panel at the viewer. The word "Croooow!" floats over him. The dogs just look confused now.

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

She sees your fandom as affirmation, your money as funding for the harm she causes to trans people.

It doesn't matter how you feel about her work, whether it was a formative touchstone or not. If you still buy the merch or hype up Harry Potter, you are complicit.

wake up
look at the headlines
remember that you have a degree specialising in ethics.
