The Failure of “America’s Greatest Otaku” - Megan D. examines TOKYOPOP's ill-fated attempt to create a reality TV series geared toward anime fans. She examines the series from the top down, from baffling production choices, to ill-advised locations, set against the backdrop of an industry crash.

The Failure of "America's Greatest Otaku"

Tokyopop’s situation was still precarious after a round of layoffs in 2008, but company founder and CEO Stu Levy was certain he could turn things around.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

A few problems with this analysis: 1) The slop generators are not infrastructure. 2) This assumes that the fantasy grifts like O'Leary's mega-datacenter are real and not just a way of fleecing taxpayers 3) Railroads, highways, and canals actually had a real fucking use.

This week we learned that the Irish government has proposed weakening Europeans citizens' fundamental right to privacy to favour AI companies. We also learned this week that 83% of Irish people under 25 want stronger government regulation of AI. Who *exactly* does our government work for?

AI: EU Member States plan "digital expropriation" of Europeans in the interest of Al companies
Artificial Intelligence / 21 September 2026
In a leaked document, the Irish Presidency proposes to EU Member States that the interest of OpenAl, Anthropic, Google, Meta and SpaceX to make profits should take precedence over the fundamental right to data protection. Use of personal data "in the context of Al" should automatically be lawful.
There seems to be wide informal agreement by many Member States. In particular, Big Tech would be able to use all personal data collected over the past decades with virtually no restrictions, as long as this happens "in the context" of Al. Schrems: "Under these proposals, the profits of Al companies would trump European's fundamental right to privacy. This is nothing but a digital expropriation of Europeans." All this is happening despite the key figures of Al corporations actively warn about the enormous risks associated with their own products.

Transport costs and mental health also remain prominent concerns.
More than seven in ten adults believe Al will make it harder for young people to find secure employment over the next five years, while 83% support stronger government regulation of Al.
Just 17% of young adults said they believe the Government is doing enough to support them through the cost-of-living crisis.
"These findings should serve as a wake-up call," said Grace McManus, Policy and Campaigns Manager at NYCI.
"Too many young people feel that the chance to build a secure and independent life is slipping out of reach," Ms McManus said.
The polling was conducted by RED C, which surveyed a nationally representative sample of 1,010 adults, including a cohort aged 18-24.

🌸The ladies and Mog of Final Fantasy VI 🌸 🖌️: acrylic gouache+gouache on 300gsm watercolour paper I think this might be my favourite piece yet 💚💛❤️ ⟡ #finalfantasy ⟡ #FF6 ⟡ #art

Acrylic Gouache+gouache painting of the main female cast of Final Fantasy VI along with Mog
they're all floating to a black background with details of flower petals, white dots and opal-colored sprayed dots.

On top is Terra, a pretty young lady with green wavy hair, wearing her red dress with flower patterns, pink pastel stockings with flower patterns, pastel purple cloak and red boots with golden decals. She is sitting comfortably, and Mog is next to her.

Celes is sitting on the right side, wearing her Amano inspired outfit with a purple tank-top, yellow west and trousers and white boots with decals on it. She has long blonde hair, and wearing a fancy hair ornament.

To her right and in-front of Terra is Relm, a child with blond curly hair and a big smile. She is wearing a big red beret with pattern, a yellow cloak connected to her necklace, a black tank-top, red puffy trousers with star pattern and red boots. She is holding a big painting brush with her left hand.

the FTC is taking comments on "personalized pricing" meaning companies can choose to extort you for items based on how much they think they can get out of you. The proposal is "they have to tell you they're doing it." Unacceptable. This NEEDS to be fully illegal. www.regulations.gov/document/FTC...

When we talk about the costs that LLMs impose on society we should not forget the fact that nothing works anymore because everyone is so scared of getting their shit scraped. I can't even use google scholar from my university or starlink because they send too much traffic.

Searching for Friends 🍃 #art #finalfantasy #ffvi

A page of mixed media doodling from my sketchbook. Featuring characters from Final Fantasy VI.

In the top left, Terra Branford is leaning forward with her eyes closed. She is blonde with the tip of her hair being green.

Next to her on the right is General Leo holding the blade of a sword/knife. Something seems to weigh on his mind. Behind him the face of Kefka Palazzo is enshrouded in shadow.

At the bottom of the page is a bust of Celes Chere, her blonde hair blowing in the wind. There is a tiny chibi of Locke Cole with a magenta border in the bottom left corner.

These page is decorated with various floral washi tapes, paper doilies and cut outs, and stickers.

Please play FF6.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.
