Let's just not even go there.

We live in a dystopia....

If the background actors don't come in for work because they exist virtually then the background costume and background hair and make up and their catering and transport and all the other departments that look after them get cut too. These things have knock on effects...

kills me that "every single classic out there is written by white people" is such a common take. are the literary traditions of other countries a fucking joke to you? come on. go read the journey to the west or something I beg

seriously though please go read journey to the west, it's incredibly culturally significant and a lot of fun, and it's episodic in structure, so I've been comfortably taking it at my own pace. also sun wukong is there. you want to meet the hyper murder monkey. believe me.

I can’t begin to express the difference it makes just that I’m able to wear exclusively t-shirts, baggy shorts, and flip-flops. And the thing is, right. What you notice is that I’m wearing something slightly odd for the weather. What you don’t notice is that I’m not curled up with my hands clamped over my ears because socks make the clinking plates in the restaurant too loud.

Between Ryan Gosling Ken and Benoit Blanc I'm starting to think that it's some sort of animal abuse to keep casting big name actors in stoic macho manly man rolls instead of giving them goofy little guys to play. Like look at them their coats are shiny, they seem so much more lively and energetic. We need to make sure all actors have enough goofy little guys to play before peta gets involved.

Corn dogs are named for their traditional meat, the unicorn. As unicorns are now extinct, they can only be referred to properly as ‘Corn Dogs and not “Unicorn Dogs” as they were prior to 2009.

This is actually a common misconception! While the Unicorn Dog did exist and was discontinued following the extinction of unicorns in 2009, the Corn Dog is not a rebranding of the Unicorn Dog! The Corn Dog was created in 2003 by James H. Corn, though it remained a relatively unpopular Ohio treat until 2010 when Mr. Corn took the opportunity left by the Unicorn Dog’s exit from the market to take over the niche.

extremely funny when AI artists feel the need to put watermarks on their images

like oh you're worried about misattribution and image theft huh. you're worried that someone's gonna take the image you made and claim it as their own. or strip away the context and your name. or use it in ways you didn't consent to. boy that sure would suck huh. i bet that would feel really bad. i bet that would be really annoying. i b

Abolish the Republican Party.

Ok but that's like...if that was business that would be fraud, why is it allowed in politics ????

Can we all admit that shouting "vote blue no matter who" whenever someone criticizes a Democrat candidate and suggests they aren't the best choice for the job is a horrific mistake already?

"Humans out-competed other hominids because of tendencies toward violence and domination." Ummmm

Wisdom of the Ancestors like: if you have a rival, have you considered kissing them?

There is considerable evidence that the neanderthals went extinct not necessarily because of violence with humans but because we fucked em so much they got assimilated into our gene pool

the kicker is he was being asked if his work was coming from the approach of man vs. nature aka “THE ENVIRONMENT STRIKES BACK” but no. his literal words were along the lines of “sharks are not very scary if you are never in the water so i had to make them scarier, and now they have legs.”

Junji Ito has the best fucking take on horror, which is ‘wouldn’t that be weird’ and then he draws it into the most terrifying thing possible.

One of his strangest stories is about a cursed type of honey that, when ingested, is guaranteed to be the best thing you’ve ever tasted. But, if you consume it, you have a 25% of being flattened like a pancake by a giant tree demon. Characters eat it, get addicted, and that addiction forces them to risk it over and over again until they eventually get turned into a gory puddle by this ghost tree thing. 

It’s a weird story, but the funny part is that Ito wrote it because he thought it would suck to be a mosquito.

is he the Amigara Fault guy

Look at this point if something in a TV show feels off, my first, immediate response is, "who in the corporate office fucked them over?"

Wonky writing? Something feels rushed? Animation errors? First question should be, "Who was fucking over the production team? What were the censorship notes? Was this what the team actually wanted to do, or were they strong-armed?"

I think a lot of y'all are way too fast to blame the writers and animators for issues that wouldn't exist if the studio executives and the censors weren't fucking it up for everyone.

Pay the writers. Pay the actors. Pay the animators. And for god's sake, stop blaming them for industry-wide issues that the unions are actively trying to fight against.

"Vegan Leather"

Plastic. just say plastic.

How dare you leave this in the notes

Before anyone goes into vegan leather alternatives made from cactus or cork or fruit waste...

I heard of those too. I thought they were really cool! I thought it was a great idea! So I went and looked into how they were made!

They're all made by binding the organic material together with at least 50% plastic.

They're still all plastic.
