I don't know if there's ever been a culture more in love with charlatans than ours. "Success" defined entirely by how good you are at tricking people into giving you money. An entire country of aspiring slop merchants

Random gacha crap at this store is only ¥50 which is nice cos in Kantō they want ¥200. It's not like I'm making 4X as much salary just by living there...

Reading the transcript from a talk given by Ursula K. Le Guin in 2013 where she discusses how govn't & corporations are seeking to get rid of copyright. We've known it was coming, but didn't anticipate the vehicle. We can't really claim we thought we'd have more time to figure out our response.

I'm at Toho Min'nano Culture Center in Fukushima for Undertale Concert on 3 Pianos. The matinee Short Program just wrapped up and it was so fuckin good. Next will be the Full Program. Yes I'm seeing both because Toby Fox is already a living legend in my estimation.

I'm at Chameleon Club Fukushima Sasaya. This chain used to be a powerhouse of the old school Famicom shops: they had 170 locations nationwide at their height in the 1990s. Now there are only 7 stores left, mostly in Fukushima, & some of those shops only carry trading cards.

I may have dodged a bullet by not really knowing Hiroki Kikuta or infamous bigot Koichi Sugiyama Unfortunately I do have a deep love of Michiru Yamane, who went all in on Qanon shit during the COVID-19 lockdowns

Je suis désolé si vous admirez Hiroki Kikuta (compositeur de Secret of Mana), mais depuis longtemps déjà, son compte X trahit ses positions réactionnaires, entre retweets de paniques morales racistes et défense de Musk en des termes qui font souffler, comme dans ce dernier exemple...

Capture d'écran d'un post de Hiroki Kikuta réagissant à un autre post dans lequel il est dit que les libéraux (au sens américain du terme) sont jaloux du succès d'Elon Musk et que c'est immortal. Kikuta écrit ceci : « C'est tout à fait vrai. Ce n'est pas sain pour un être humain d'être aussi jaloux et envieux. C'est vraiment une maladie mentale. Des affirmations violentes, comme le fait de prendre la richesse de ceux qui ont travaillé dur pour la bâtir, ne devraient pas être acceptées par la société. » Avec un émoji souriant à la fin.
