Yeah? Which opinions? Be specific, use your words

Polly Mackenzie @pollymackenzie.bsky.social · 11h

There is an extraordinary sense of entitlement behind the belief that there ought to be political party that aligns 100% with your own opinions.

i fucking hate this yt thumbnail and what it has done to me bc now every time we eat rice with my gf i tell her "remember when mario tried to sell you rice?" without fail. every single time.

yt video thumbnail titled "Remember When Mario Tried to Sell You Rice?"
on the thumbnail features from top to bottom a yellow text in all caps saying "SELLS YOU RICE?" with another text written in black in a green square saying "Rice!" over a picture of what i assume is rice but look more like couscous or some other grainy food.
at the left of the thumbnail is a picture of mario smiling with his hands on his hips, an yellow arrow is coming from mario to the green square

I know this petition has much more support than it currently has. Please share far and wide. Petition to require generative AI to carry a watermark and to make it illegal to use a person’s likeness in generative AI without permission.

Petition: Require generative AI watermarks & ban using people’s likeness without consent

As AI generated content becomes increasingly realistic, we think laws should be put in place to prevent misuse. All such media should carry a permanent watermark or disclosure, alongside a blanket ban...

Reminder that the Gkids release of Tokyo Godfathers has an English dub where Hana is played by a trans actress (who also helped with the dub script, too!) and she is FANTASTIC.

Reminder to add TOKYO GODFATHERS to your Christmas movie watchlist this season! Grateful to have given (English, dubbed) voice to the trans anime icon, our beloved Hana, in this Satoshi Kon holiday classic from @gkids.com! Watch it for free on Tubi or rent it on AppleTV!

Kirby Air Riders feels like a game that shouldn't exist in this day and age. It feels like a Gamecube game despite coming out last week. It feels like a relic of a bygone era, in the best possible way. It feels like the final Kirby game. It's one of the best games this year

Been thinking a lot about how amazingly powerful this moment is in a game with so little story cutscene staging. Making brilliant use of breaking a franchise tradition, the way it uses an iconic tune, etc. Just chills at the time youtu.be/bdTdUoSCfS4?...

I have a few announcements in the coming days, including the details for this year's charity stream. I don’t have all of the details yet, but I think this year, we’ll be playing Thrillville. Thank you all and have a great end to your holiday weekend.

A sincere thank you to everyone who has already watched our new video. I am so grateful to be able to do anything creatively, especially weird, niche, long things like this. This project in total took a year and a half to complete, and I am thrilled that many of you enjoyed it.

So you made a robot stand up and talk... now what? In this over 4-hour journey, Kevin follows the promise of Disney's Living Character Initiative, an effort to populate Disney theme parks with free-roaming, interactive beings. It was touted as the future. How's it going? Watch here: bit.ly/49C6vng

RX-78-2 GUNDAM: NOW AND THEN

I really love the classic look of the Gundam, so I wanted to understand all its differences compared to the modern interpretation of the RX-78-2. And there's no better way to learn something well than to teach others!

#gundam #mobilesuitgundam #rx-78-2

a digital illustrated poster comparing the original and modern designs for the rx-78-2 gundam. on the left there are illustrations of the modern look and another drawing sporting lots of markings and decals, as well as extruded vents on the chest. on the right, there is an illustration of the retro-style gundam, and a closeup of the head. the following text is what fills the space around the illustrations:

MARKINGS - There is no "one true design" for the Gundam, and the various designs for decals on model kits or paintings of the RX-78-2 show this well.

NOSE - While the original design of the head is variable in its design (especially around the faceplate, which could either have a flat top or a jagged top), a good amount of the illustrations show that the red section under the eyes was intended to be in the shape of a nose and upper cheeks. This is similar to other giant robots of the era, like Mazinger Z or Zambot 3.

VENTS - Some depictions of the RX-78-2 have extruded yellow frames around the chest vents instead of vents directly inset in the chest. While this is a design trait that the later RX-178 Gundam Mk-II has featured since its first appearance, the RX-78-2 wouldn't be depicted with them until its first Master Grade model kit in 1995. Now, this look is part of the variable design "canon", and appears on some iterations of the RX-78-2 like the Ver. Ka or the Gundam: The Origin design.

YELLOW V-FIN/ANTENNA - The RX-78-2 is occasionally depicted with the crest on its head in yellow instead of white, especially in early merchandise of the show. This may have been because early giant robot toys used softer, rubbery material for pointy design elements, and that material only came in a yellow color. On the RX-78-2, this yellow coloration is also used in the Gundam: The Origin manga, alongside a green camera at the top of the head and eyes that often glow pink.

the conclusion of every defunctland video is always incredible comedy because its just [1-4 hours of explicit, well researched citations on all the ways that disney is evil, mismanaged and incompetent] but maybe one day we'll get magic in theme parks again
