It is at least *interesting* that the people making this supposedly world-changing technology think its most profitable use cases are: social media videos and sexting.

Day 13 - Elendil: favourite moment, quote, etc (canon or trop)

This is the best Elendil scene, that's it. It's not only the final outburst against Pharazôn. Everything from that first doubt of a suffering man divided between what he rationally should do and what +

Three Rings for the Elven kings under the sky

A watercolor painting of three rings linked by a coronet of green leaves. One ring is gold with a ruby stone, one is gold with a sapphire stone, and one is silver with a white stone. They are shining on a blue-grey background that is bright around them and darker at the edges

And that’s a wrap on the Welsh section of filming for FAIRY DUST. Our intrepid band of heroes begin their weary journey home for the scene of the final showdown: Croydon. Our Kickstarter is still accepting late pledges, can we reach 100 before we wrap? Help us out here: tinyurl.com/FairyDustKS

As per my promise to balance out any posting related to HP, check out this beautiful promotion for the upcoming Witch Hat Atelier anime! It's slated for 2026. Go read the manga too! There's better magical stories out there that deserve more love than HP.

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

Finally got to see The Dark Crystal in theaters, after watching it a bajillion times on vhs, dvd, and blu-ray. The type of art that deserves all the moneys.

as much as I love them one thing I always disliked about the Redwall books was the designation of certain species as constitutionally evil. I think rats and weasels should be friends with mice and shrews
