Had an urge to watch some Lower Decks last night so I cracked my blu-ray set and I gotta say, there is a noticeable difference in quality between the discs and watching it on streaming! Everything is crisper in ways that I didn't expect to notice.
Anyway, buy your favourite shows on physical media!

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it
Just because good news is worth celebrating:
There is now a Prep medication that is an *every six month* injection.
HIV has, effectively, a vaccination.

The Wright Museums Instagram page is HILARIOUS. Think The Office but it's the staff at a Museum for Black History. Better believe this is on my list of places to visit.

i've spoken elsewhere about how i never really watched this show when i was a kid because it was a "girl's show" (though i didn't even watch dragonball that much) and i'm super annoyed, i feel like i would've been a more rounded person earlier in life.
I've been slowly watching through the OG sailor moon for the first time (I've only ever seen a couple episodes in full) and the animation on the spotlight in the eyecatch is SO appealing.
It's so snappy but the cushions and arcs are perfect so it still feels very natural

Started playing Absolum tonight in online co-op with a pal, it's cool as hell! Classic beat-em-up with roguelike features and some extremely charming cartoon art!
(Just note that if you want to play with someone else you'll have to do the tutorial first on your own)

Capitalism is so ✨️dynamic✨️ that if you tell investors half the global economy will be wiped out in 50 years, they make plans to extract as much value until right before it happens, and to make sure their half isn't the one that gets wiped out.

facebook reminded me of this video from nine years ago, featuring Yvette Felarca firmly and articulately defending mass militancy (in this case, the context is deplatforming milo yiannopoulos) and all i can think is how frustrating it is that these arguments weren't heeded at the time

Called and spoke with Adobe customer support and the guy told me Adobe is discontinuing Animate because apparently the company can't think of any new features to add to the program and they feel it's gotten stale.
So they're just GETTING RID OF IT???

I AM FURIOUS.
Adobe Animate remains an industry standard for TV animation. Star Trek: Lower Decks was made in Animate. Haunted Hotel was made in Animate. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was made in Animate.
And because you can't buy a permanent licence anymore, it'll just be gone.

it's also not just about replacing color with screentones or gray--it's about EVERY choice you make, from thumbs to inks, even balloon placement. i often use color as a way to create contrast, and without it, i'd have to find other ways to create that contrast. look at the difference here!
