Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

A.
Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic.
When I

set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did

was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible

I. I did that through a mutual friend

of ours, a guy named

underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a

submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the

Russians. And that was organized by a Canadian company that was
22 doing an IMAX film which was released under the title Titanica.

A four panel comic strip. An anthropomorphic wolf man runs into an office where three others are working at their desks. He says, "The fire marshal is coming for annual inspections!" In the next panel, a seated wolf is playing with a remote control airplane, and a smoke detector with an open battery compartment is mounted on the wall above him. The first wolf says "Put that 9 volt back in the smoke detector!" In the third panel, an anthropomorphic dog holds a power strip while standing next to a sculpture comprised of multiple power strips. The first wolf says "Hide your..."Daisy Chain Power Strip" sculpture!?" In the fourth panel, a bear proudly displays his t-shirt which reads "I love storing combustibles around radiators." The first wolf, in exasperation, yells "CHANGE YOUR SHIRT!"

wrote up a bit of info on a less common US revision of Micro Machines for the NES, featuring a pretty nasty bug, discovered just a little too late and then worked around by using a PLD to patch a single *bit*. this is what day one patches looked like in 1991!

The president keeps talking about how he knows he is going to hell and the material pleasures of life are just a balm for a wound growing deeper by the day. Which could be good or bad. It's impossible to say.

but also this excerpt goes hard:
Gender becomes a verb.
again, from 1997.

an excerpt from Shannon McRae's 1997 essay "Flesh Made Word: Sex, Text, and The Virtual Body" which reads as follows:
If boys can be girls and straights can be queers and dykes can be fags and two lesbian lovers can turn out to both be men in real life, then "straight" or "queer," "male" or "female" become unreliable as markers of identity.
It is not so much that gender roles or sexual preferences actually change as that cross-gender role play troubles the link between gender and desire, from which we, usually unquestioningly, construct our identities as sexual beings.
Gender becomes a verb, not a noun, a position to occupy rather than a fixed role.
In many cases, gender becomes the effect that one individual can have upon another.

give it a re-read: it's a really good essay??? it describes the experience ppl had in the 90s of various types of sexual RP, and how that could be (1.) real to them and (2.) a way to explore their sexuality. radical stuff from 30 years ago.
but also i feel weird bc i dont see myself in this picture

homie said fuck genai

a snippet from Rene T. A. Lysloff's 2003 "Musical Community on the Internet: An On-line Ethnography" that reads as follows:
However, despite the fact that we may be experiencing radically new forms of social interaction as a result of media technologies, the quality of these social interactions still depends on the humans that give rise to them (see Escobar 1999).

i kinda love this tho? it feels like a parody of itself. it personifies the demographics that nintendo and sega were targeting at the time, reinforcing and humanizing a narrative thats still seen today. they create a gradient of "how serious are games" and put themselves at the "very" end, past sega

story: I had a collection of some mangled renditions of SMB 1-1 BGM that id been making just because they're funny.
generating some janky ai marios for the album art crossed my mind but didn't feel right, even 4 years ago.
so i drew the worst mario i could.
that decision feels better every day.

a very bad drawing of Mario with the text "uhhh..... OF COURSE i remember how mario goes, its definitely exactly... um. or like. hmm... ok. hold on. thinking emoji." in the style of the classic black box NES artwork

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers.

Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.
