iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

It's an undeserved pain for an established, well-known artist with a large porfolio, thousands of followers, and colleagues who will speak up for them on their behalf to be mobbed like this by people who don't know better or even care... ...now imagine that for someone just starting out.

It really, really, really, really sucks that artists have to go through this now, but also just shows that no matter how much evidence they present, disingenuous people will always move goalposts. We all need to be less eager to blindly accuse people of this in the town square.

almost a month ago, "spoken in the soft bokeh of whispers" was released for those in need of a soothing, low-resolution space of yearning. if you've found yourself longing and in wander, please give it a listen on this #bandcampfriday 💗 ourdearfriendthemedic.bandcamp.com/album/spoken...

FFS, they see how CITIZENS are treated here! There are a million other places on Earth to visit, so...why chance it? If they wanna visit for vacation, or their business isn't pressing, they'll just cross their fingers and try to wait out the current regime.

It's the polar opposite of mind-boggling. A lot of foreigners have these things called TVs, and they have this thing called the internet...they see how foreigners are treated here.

The grandiosity is still there, clinically it has to be, of course, but note the form it seems to take with AI: It's that he understands it the most, he didn't make it but he's somehow a genius about it in ways he, the braggart, can't even pretend to articulate. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This is probably going to be fascinating for professionals studying NPD/malignant narcissism, present and future. Individuals like Trump can't defer to anyone else (hence he has to be the best at everything, the smartest, etc.)... But what about chatbots? It's not a person, so, no bruised ego?

You shouldn't need a subscription to shop for anime on an online store.

something, something, border wall, I'm guessing? But trying to follow the mental tracks of man rapidly going senile is just gonna be guesswork, at this point.

Fair, my bad, I mean it sincerely to anyone reading this and still wanting to subscribe or overpay for stuff like that, whatever floats your boat.👍 It's just...not what we all remember of Crunchyroll, and it's no longer resembles what we think of when we think of this hobby/niche/industry overall.

Crunchyroll Store incoming, one sec for exclusive drops!

I'm not a fan of this new direction of selling a pair of socks for 25 bucks, and that's only if for those already paying them 14 bucks a month. But hey, feel free, you asked why people were reacting the way they were, so there ya go. www.crunchyroll.com/store/produc...

Crunchyroll Store incoming, one sec for exclusive drops!

It's the whole feel, the generic soulless corporate speak that could be swapped out almost word for word for another overpriced line of products. This killed what was once a mom n pop outfit, run by people who actually cared about anime and fandom culture, too. www.crunchyroll.com/store/lookbo...

Sorry, but I once again feel compelled to point out they literally put Dennis Reynolds in charge of the US military.

10 years of this, I'd hope by now everyone's realized we're dealing with people who think it's preferable to inhabit an entirely different reality as often as they're able to do so. So that, plus a delusional narcissist in power, plus opportunistic sycophants...and well, here we are.

It doesn't have to make any sense for the audience he's making soundbytes for. If they just list off things with enough bluster, MAGA will parrot it--many of whom also actually know full well, it doesn't have to make sense. It's a bonding ritual for them, to internalize the same talking points.

The guy's just filling potholes and making food affordable, just basic quality of life improvements, and the reception everywhere he goes is genuinely euphoric, lol. No shock that the people who are very much NOT 'politicians who just competently do their jobs' absolutely hate what he represents.

We're on the precipice of a golden age of politicians who just competently do their jobs.

Skills are marketable. Skills make you more employable. Using a proprietary prompt machine meant to make you reilant on a certain product, marketed to literally everyone, isn't really a skill, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As frank, real advice to Reddit OP, I'd say 'Well...with the prompt machine doing everything, what are you needed for? You think someone's gonna pay you to do that thing literally anyone can do?'

Literally the card I play everytime someone gets waaaay too serious about what's canon or not in a frickin cartoon lmao.

This has to be like that 'weekend as a twenty something in Chicago' vid, like it's not real, there's no way.

There are very distinct media ecosystems anymore, lol like, the indignation that a bunch of people have never heard a certain song, or only in passing but not recognizing the artist, not knowing every stat about it, seems so...idk, random?

Jonny Lobo @jonnylobo.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Genuinely serious question: Did anyone do an op-ed like this in an established publication about Golden and KPDH? Top 40 song, hit film, won a slew of awards...was anyone with a platform visibly upset at boomers who'd never heard of it? Enough to write it down? In an insufferably snarky tone?

And he did it unlawfully, under a program named after a fucking meme coin cryptocurrency. In other words, a giant joke to him. You cannot hate the man enough.

I'm under no illusions about how things are or what the trajectory is. But I'm also excited for the future because that is where I will hang out with the people I care about and do the things I like doing, or haven't done before. Weird but telling that this holds less appeal for much richer people.

quote-unquote richest man in the world went out of his way to do this. not indifference, not 'didn't give money he easily could of' typical rich guy criticism, he inconvenienced himself greatly to cause this intentionally.
