I feel dumb even just having to say this but the reason passports are mailed out in plain regular envelopes is that so that people do not attempt to steal easily recognizable passports in the mail. bsky.app/profile/carn...

My brain REFUSES to allow me to let characters escape the inevitability that we're all gonna die one day. Like thanks brain I just wanted to write a fucking cute and sexy Romance why are you like this?? Even if it's just they die of old age! And I think death breaks the HEA Romance requirements

There is just a quirk in my brain that no matter how it goes I can't actually successfully stick the fundamental component of a Romance novel which is the Happily Ever After. My brain (in its infinite cursed state) goes HEA...and then they died and everyone cries.

Weird writing fact about me, I love a good Romance novel like they're a vast majority of what I read (currently half ass reading my way through Nora Roberts collective backlog for fun). However no matter how much I love them or how good a writer I am I could never write one.

I'm not going to jump up and down on the person being wrong, but AI prompting isn't like art. It's like commissioning art. And the guy you're commissioning from eats coal, takes pictures of you when you're not looking, and got his career start by stealing everyone else's work.

when you're a venture capitalist stooge or an MBA flunkie, your immediate quarterly report can stay black if you greenlight nothing, make nothing, cancel everything for a tax writeoff, and then pretend like everything is fine. the next quarter doesn't matter, you've moved on.

people like my parents or people back home often ask me if the reason why the industry is being killed in slow motion is due to AI, and it's a 15 minute long conversation to understand the real reasons why, at the heart of which are: people who own TV don't make TV and don't want to make TV

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.”

So they’re using AI to transcribe your whole stream, to determine if it’s “safe for brands”, meaning you don’t talk about being gay or Palestine or whatever the fuck I’d LOVE to know how that affects the ad revenue for those channels Dan!

inject this into my veins this is a man whos been mad about modern isekai and its departure from shoujo for the past 30yrs. i genuinely hope the reboot of mkr gives us the return to shoujo isekai
While “isekai” stories have become increasingly popular in the last decade, even in the '90s, there were many stories where female protagonists get transported to a magical world. What do you think makes Magic Knight Rayearth different from modern isekai? What makes these female-led stories interesting for modern audiences?

MIURA: The biggest difference is that Magic Knight Rayearth is a story about growth and the sacrifices that come with it, rather than one about cheat abilities.

In many modern isekai series, protagonists either begin with—or quickly obtain— cheat abilities that allow them to effortlessly overwhelm their opponents. Much of the appeal lies in the wish-fulfillment of watching an unstoppable hero dominate every battle.

By contrast, Hikaru, Umi, and Fū are simply three ordinary junior high school girls who are suddenly summoned to the isekai (fantasy) world of Cefiro. They take up swords, suffer injuries, shed tears, and gradually awaken both their magical powers and inner strength as they overcome their fears and insecurities. This journey of personal growth is one of the defining charms of 1990s isekai fantasy.
Even today, many stories aimed at female audiences center on romance. In the first arc of Magic Knight Rayearth, however, what drives Hikaru, Umi, and Fū is not romantic feelings for boys, but the powerful bond they share and their promise to make it back to Tokyo together. Their genuine sisterhood—built on mutual respect and supporting one another through their weaknesses—is something I believe modern audiences who appreciate independent relationships can deeply relate to.
In the latter half of the story, they don't simply carry out the mission they've been given. They begin questioning what principles should govern this world and ultimately make the choice that will determine its fate. Rather than waiting for someone else to save them, they take control of their own destiny.... alt continuedharo saying fuck used as overflow alt text for previous continues below

I believe this image of strong women choosing their own path embodies exactly the kind of empowerment that resonates with today's anime fans
