i always think about the 'kin side of things when i see fandom stuff and that LRP made me think of the 2010s tumblr 'kin vs fandom history i've read up on. people were vicious and will always be. when i was back on forums all the time there was always petty shit going on somewhere

i like the perspective it looks kinda skewed and gives it a dream-y feeling

ads are more invasive than ever too. on mobile they take up half the screen AND play over video, lag the app, etc. "Skip" doesn't skip both ads, it's just "Next" then "Skip". on mobile i typically watch on my browser with adblock but sometimes i don't feel like it then i always regret

Timely reminder that Otomo's '20 Posters' (2017) art book is surprisingly still in print. All the posters included are spectacular, and there's even a giant B1 sized AKIRA 1 poster included. See more in my review- halcyonrealms.com/books/20-pos...

Here's some more good news from today's hearing: it seems like the SCREEN ACT totally failed. This was one of the most dangerous bills being considered: it would have created an Internet-wide ID check regime that would be a censorship and surveillance nightmare for marginalized communities.

If SCREEN were to pass, you'd be required to scan your face and upload an ID to access this site because it allows "harmful" material. This affects you even if you don't care about sex work or porn.

Together, these bills would allow Trump’s FTC to wipe abortion, sex ed, & LGBTQ resources off the Internet while instating nationwide age verification requirements. This could mean scanning your face or sending in your government ID just to post on Bluesky! ❌ Take action: fftf.link/bib

‼️ACTION ALERT: The Senate Commerce Committee is holding “kids safety” circus again, this time considering both KOSA (the Kids Online Safety Act) & SCREEN Act, two of the most dangerous censorship & age verification bills on the table! CALL YOUR LAWMAKERS & TELL THEM TO OPPOSE 📲 248-331-8665

The image is a graphic poster with a vibrant red background and contrasting dark purple text. At the top, it contains the message: “Senate Commerce Committee is taking up KOSA + SCREEN Act THIS WEDNESDAY” in bold white letters. Below this, in a larger, informal handwriting-style font is the phrase “TAKE ACTION” in yellow. At the bottom of the image is a phone number, “248-331-8665,” displayed inside a rounded rectangle in dark purple. The overall layout is eye-catching and designed to attract attention to the call for action regarding legislation.

Very happy/relieved to announce that we have finished moving the domain to a better DNS registrar for our needs, which should ensure that the short outage we had two weeks ago will never happen again. This should be the most exciting thing we will ever have to tell you about the DNS registrar.

comes back to it being about people most importantly. losing balance, losing humanity. those struggles. i swear there's an interview he said it's about friendship and another he said "it's about Kaneda and Tetsuo," etc. AKIRA is saying a lot but i think people got the wrong ideas about it. (2/2)

im so sick of the "AKIRA = nuclear powers" thing. it drives me insane. people do it a lot with the movie, since even more context is removed 'cuz the film is just an adaptation. but no, there it is. he's been asked the meaning over and over, his answer varies, but i think he always (1/2)

The internet is increasingly becoming dangerous to operate on because of crazy laws and orders like this. A bunk legal complaint in one country, which we aren't even based in, aimed at one alleged infringement issue, has just been converted into infrastructure-level damage against an entire platform

We are already on the phone with an enterprise domain management company and will be moving to a different registrar soon, but we can't even transfer the domain out of Namecheap until they remove the suspension, so either way we're still stuck for now waiting for Namecheap to do something here.

So the legal firm that sent the complaint -and- us are both trying to get Namecheap to unsuspend the domain, but as of this writing, they have not responded to any of the requests and we are trying all means to get them to escalate this to a higher priority.

Early this morning, we received an email from @namecheap.com that the domain neocities.org was being suspended because of a court order from New Delhi, India (a jurisdiction we don't operate in), which was for an unrelated court order about a sports streaming site on a different domain.

he talked this page before. i KNOW ChronOtomo has it but i couldn't find it. he talked more about his process in general. i remember him saying something about sitting down and hatching in the explosion. if i find it again ill put it here. it's a good interview (2/2)

the time to brag about one's technique it's in a BOOK ABOUT IT. maybe the Complete Works will come out with something but as is he hasn't thought about making a book in decades... + are you talking about this explosion? the beginning explosion in AKIRA is a painted page, this is in Volume 3 (1/2)

We're working on the DNS outage. It's not technical - someone is trying to legally attack us and Namecheap took down the domain. More details later.

i always wanted a documentary where somebody filmed Otomo drawing an hour or so. his process is shown but barely touched on in AKIRA Club imo. but how does he visualize things? what's in his mind when he sketches? how's he approaching rendering and his line work? Etc

FOUND IT "At the time I seriously considered writing a book on "how to draw manga," but soon realized that this was actually my personal way of drawing, and it'd only be bragging about my own technique, so wouldn't be any use as a manga primer." (chronotomo.aaandnn.com/2002/07/talk...)
