okay i’m awake time to write for my silly little phone spiders
I'LL NEVER GET TIRED OF THIS FUCKING MEME🤣🤣🤣
I also just love how it escalates🤣🤣
This was so fucking funny, zero need for Miguel to be so dramatic and Gwen just dragging his ass like he does it every time they need to have a conversation. No notes.
Thanks to Them spoilers without context
“Put that thing down, are you crazy? Just look at what messing with that thing has done to him!”
“You locked him away in the dungeons…did you think it would have no effect?”
“Well yeah, I guess. But-but look at him”
“What?”
“He’s gross”
“…no”
He was ready to go by her hand in season one and two. Both in the rift as the Nowhere King and as the Elktaur. This whole situation is very tragic :(
“Hush now, hide, all you little ones.
Rush now, into the middle of nowhere.
Singing and laughter will die.
Dreamless sleep follows the Nowhere King.
When his kingdom comes, darkness is nigh…”

Centaurworld was such a surprise. I can’t wait for more.
this is the only reason i get news notifications on my phone
Steel Ball Run
okay but they actually had a very calculated disregard for speed limits?
some of the quick facts:
- average speed of 103mph (165kmh) including the 22.5 minutes of refueling - reached cruise speeds of 160mph (258kmh) - 700 horsepower from various upgrades - built-in Net Radar radar detector - windshield-mount Escort Max 360 radar detector - AL Priority laser jammer system - aircraft collision avoidance system (for finding highway patrol aircraft) - brake lights and tail lights disabled - vinyl trim used to make the rear lights resemble a honda accord (and not a race-ready mercedes) - 2 ipads for additional police tracking - 2 GPS systems to prove their record - police scanner - CB radio - 18 spotters along the route to watch for police - and my personal favourite, a roof mounted set of thermal binoculars
And that’s the way to do it.

I’m amazed they were able to beat the old cannonball record
I bothered to look up the source all the way back and some extra facts:
Apparently, they had cops helping keep the other cops away, they did this by convincing them that they would do it regardless and helping would be safer, and if they set a crazy enough record it would deter other people.
The speed discrepancy between the top speed at almost 200 and average speed of 103 is because they dropped it with other cars nearby, which was also a strategy to not get reported and stopped.
It was not a Mercedes it was an Infiniti Q50 modded with a GT-R drivetrain which was set up for multiple drivers with a MIDDLE seat like a McClaren F1? I cannot find pictures unfortunately.
The original interview says they had a fucking smoke screen if they got chased even. Recommended by his therapist apparently?
I think my favorite part was he is agnostic so he prayed to every god just in case. All of them he could find. Just to cover all the bases.
So Netflix is releasing this animated movie but here’s the thing - all backgrounds are done in AI. No actual BG artists were hired or credited for this work.
And here’s the kicker - I gave them too much credit. I realized that not even the AI users are credited apparently. Check this out:
“+Human”. No names, no nothing.
I know it’s tempting, but please don’t hate-watch this thing. Numbers equal profit even if the people watching are just doing it to mock. Don’t give Netflix and other studios even more incentive to fire more animators and replace them with machines trained on their work and skill.
Hilarously, the excuse used is ‘there aren’t enough artists’. That’s not true - there are more than enough artists, but the real issue is that no one wants to pay a living wage. Here’s a short video about the reality of animation in Japan.
The biggest winners in this equation at the end of the day are the AI infrastructure owners - owners of Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, etc. Do not feed this machine, it creates more monopolization of entire industries, raises a powerful few and dehumanizes the rest.
