I'm an engineer, podcaster, and Otaku USA Magazine contributor driven insane from pop culture overload and isolation. It makes me scream a lot with my fingers. http://www.animeworldorder.com

BREAKING: James Talarico wins the Democratic Senate primary in Texas.

Talarico ran on fighting corruption in DC, and winning back power for working people.

In an era of vast inequality Talarico told voters that β€œbillionaires are waging class warfare against the rest of us.”

I finally had enough energy tonight to do an update on what's happening with my podcast & streaming! TL;DR version is I'm taking a few months off for health reasons. More details here!

That's right. You got no leg to stand on, Newsom supporters. Shut your hole. We don't need anti trans anti homeless greaseball shit. North Carolina is purple, it's not some blue stronghold.

Racist fascist dog killer murderess Kristi Noem committed perjury today when she denied calling VA hospital ICU Nurse Alex Pretti a domestic terrorist.

Normally someone would go to prison for lying under oath, but in MAGAworld you are celebrated and get to keep your job.

Being middle-aged, it's bad enough that the world I grew up in is disappearing. Now our written history is being gaslighted away by AI and younger generations. You've gotta mention these are Canadian prices! $88 for Killer Instinct? $95 for Illusion of Gaia? At least show me round numbers!

Watching Marco Rubio trying to navigate through foreign policy while he's hopped up off that blow is something else.

SCOOP: An internal DHS document obtained by 404 Media shows for the first time CBP used location data sourced from the online advertising industry to track phone locations.

This surveillance can happen through all sorts of apps, such as video games, news apps, weather trackers, and dating apps.

Snippet of Javascript code from pixelframe's "Pokopia Font Logo Generator", as embedded in the HTML document.

The code is standard non-AI image manipulation, handling the resizing of the background "Ditto Blob" of the Pokopia logo.

Snippet of Javascript code from pixelframe's "Pokopia Font Logo Generator", as embedded in the HTML document. The code is standard non-AI image manipulation, handling the resizing of the background "Ditto Blob" of the Pokopia logo.

Fortunately it seems to NOT be AI.

This tool runs entirely "locally" in your browser, the image generation is written in Javascript. (Whether they used AI in writing that code, I cannot tell. That is a whole different mess though.)

For the nerds: The code starts at line 2089 of the HTML document.

After 9 yeareals, it's finally my turn to post the "a thousand cereals" clip, seeing as how I'm the idiot who made it.

Just want to mention that media outlets keep trying to use "slop" to mean "artwork of low quality." Do not comply. Slop = genAI content, ONLY. It's not "art." It's the reconstituted sludge of stolen artwork & knowledge, regurgitated for diseased pigs. It's sawdust & snot packaged as applesauce.

✨What's inside Document #1 (The Four Page)✨

MediaDo explains by utilizing their MediaDo Translation System (MDTS) which is described as a AI-assisted translation system in which they believe "will significantly reduce the time required for translation & translation capacity"

✨What's inside Document #1 (The Four Page)✨

In the document, it states that "print books still account for 90% of the publishing market in the US and globally" & "physical distribution network is the single greatest barrier to entering the global market"

So what's their solution? AI Translation

Media-Do recently published the Investor documents about the Seven Seas Acquisition which includes a lot of information that I've seen that hasn't been reported on yet

So here's a thread breaking down what I found & what it could mean for the future of Seven Seas Entertainment

Many have asked about AI and translation following the acquisition announcement. Seven Seas remains committed to human translators and the high editorial standards our readers & creators expect. Nothing about the acquisition changes how we translate our books. More info shortly.

Has anybody else ordered and not received their exchange disc for Media Blasters' Kamen Rider Dyad BD? I just realized I ordered mine like 2 months ago and haven't even gotten a shipping notification.

And I want to be specific, it is an exchange disc you specifically had to order, which I did do.

how are poll respondents supposed to say whether they approve or disapprove of a war that was never given any publicly-discernible justification

John Woo's entire Hong Kong output is this. Virtuous cop that is navigating the criminal element. They're rarely corrupt. Even the ones that are corrupt are revealed to be deep undercover and are good guys. And every flick is a banger. Even "A Better Tomorrow 2".
