excuse me, what the fuck?

Sharma gave her personal cellphone number to journalists and influencers. Her new chief strategy officer tutored reporters on the company’s economic challenges. She skillfully dodged questions about her predecessor’s strategic blunders.

The gambit appeared to work.

obviously a fucked up situation from pretty much every conceivable angle, but the “what are you gonna do, stab me” principle remains undefeated

He also, per the affidavit, said: "Let's see if the FBI is going to to show up at my door because I'll shoot them motherfuckers too." Other transcribed statements include "I'm going to be a murderer one day" and "One day I'm going to turn into that person just like the people you see on the fucking videos on YouTube where they fucking run up to the police officer and they have no reason at all and then they make the police kill them. I'm gonna be that guy."

a twitch rep told me more about how this system works. most important details: humans make the final call when it comes to streamers’ “longer-term ad eligibility,” and twitch is working on a means of informing streamers when that happens

Update 9/30/26: In an email to Aftermath, a Twitch representative clarified how the system works:
“As Dan shared, advertisers want control over where their ads appear, which is a standard expectation across every platform,“ said the Twitch representative. “Each advertiser sets its own preferences, so a channel can be a good fit for some campaigns and not for others. The tools we're developing help us match ads to content more accurately, opening up more opportunities for advertisers to reach more channels, earning more for streamers. Previously, matching could be more conservative. Better accuracy allows us to change that.”
The representative added that staff, not AI, will determine who loses out on “longer-term” ad opportunities—and, eventually, streamers will be informed when this happens.
“Twitch staff reviews flagged content at multiple stages, and as always, any changes to longer term ad eligibility would be a human decision,” said the rep. “We're also building ways to let creators know when advertiser preferences are affecting their ad revenue. Ultimately, better matching brings more advertisers to more channels, creating more earning opportunities for streamers.”

the brand safety panopticon has come to twitch

Streamers, wary of both AI and YouTube’s infuriatingly un-transparent hall of mirrors, are not enthused about this new development.

“Ohhh so that’s why ad revenue dropped,” longtime streamer JP "itmeJP" McDaniel said on Twitter.

“I’m genuinely worried that the sheer fact that I’m a lesbian will cause the AI to remove ads,” said Vtuber LuminusRed. “In the past I’ve tested it and confirmed that I get less ad money if I had queer-related tags on my stream like ‘lesbian,’ so I am worried this dumb AI monitoring will mean I no longer get money from ads on Twitch.”

Watch Firefly Wedding.

But there are levels to this shit. Some shows aren’t “I can fix him;” some, like Studio Deen’s adaptation of Asuka Konishi’s Yakuza Fiancé, are shows where “we can make each other worse.” The x-factor in these stories is that they play with the neck hair-raising fight-or-flight response of their headstrong heroines wandering—whether willfully or out of abject defiance—into a romance with dangerous men. Compared to its contemporaries, toxic romance anime of its ilk is sprawling. It’s big, it’s fun, it's fucked up! But that very danger makes it hard to put down.

Firefly Wedding brings to the table a romance anime that walks the razor’s edge of violent, funny, and hilarious, an addition to this pantheon.

Over the last week I've been messing around with the recently added Pyrowave codec in Steam remote play. It's an open source video codec that throws compression out the window in exchange for latency. If you are a freak with wired Ethernet, this may be for you. aftermath.site/pyrowave-ste...
