5 Centimeters Per Your Name
Maybe don't watch this unless you've seen Your Name. (2016), but this is a fun blending of comparative shots in 5 Centimeters Per Second (2007) and Your Name.
I made this accidentally a few years back when writing an unfinished essay. Originally was just for gifs but...

Remember: don't eat the mid tier fast food chicken, don't play the wizard game, don't shop at the hobby store run by the bad guys from Indiana Jones, and don't donate to the bigot bucket.
I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season

The overlap of This Customer and trying to edit the tip on the iPad and accidentally putting 25$ and needing you to void it so you get no tip at all is……. Let me just say more than the amount of times I’d prefer to have that experience

Also out today, Phantom Brigade 2.0 - a total relaunch (and a half-price discount) for a game I wanted to love at launch but it was pretty flawed beyond its core (very fun) combat loop.
Well, they've replaced just about everything but that core loop. Only played a bit, but it seems VERY improved.

very, very good piece from Katelyn that holds two (non-contradictory) things to be true:
1) nuzzi's "journalism," and the ongoing platforming of it, is embarrassing given her lack of ethics (and, some would argue, lack of talent) BUT ALSO
2) older men preying on younger women are vile, full stop.
