My thoughts:
This is like seeing a dorsal fin while playing in the ocean.

Maybe it's a fake fin, worn by a prankster.

Maybe it's the fin of a friendly dolphin.

Maybe it's the fin of a satiated shark, peacefully passing by.

But in any case, you should probably get the fuck out of the ocean.
Anyway here's Mihoyo promoting AI assisted game production including:

"Efficiency in Image and Material Generation
With very few materials, they can generate character model sheets + 3D models, allowing for the testing of multiple designs and their artistic outcomes."

Something to keep an eye on.

my more fully-fledged opinion is that the endorsement or lack thereof matters less than the wrong-rocking that's been done to mamdani for three and a half months now
I think once Mamdani is formally the winner of this race people will be more willing to admit it, but the truth is that the real issue isn't the lack of endorsement from Schumer and Jeffries, it's that Schumers, Jeffries, and everyone else has made racially charged unfulfillable demands of Mamdani.
I do think however it is also simultaneously true that Mamdani has managed to acquire the support of the bulk of the Democratic establishment. This was done in spite of, though, the endemic Islamophobia and racial animosity towards nonwhite politicians sympathetic to Palestinians.

it is so abundantly clear that mamdani's position on palestine is what is driving schumer up the wall. it's kind of pathetic at this point.

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes
NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

A fun byproduct of unitary executive theory—if the president controls everyone under him, he can demand they transfer hundreds of millions in tax dollars into his bank account
Breaking News: President Trump wants $230 million from the Justice Department for investigating him, people familiar with the matter say. Any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit. nyti.ms/4hmIi5X

There were mid 2010s meetings of consultants and think tanks in which the right wing of the US & UK openly made the case that attacking trans people should be their next propaganda opening after the door was shut on gay marriage. We have receipts! Liberals and centrists are falling for a called shot

Hastening to add that yea, of course, we have our issues as a community. Racism, classism, etc. There is much to criticize, just as there is with the LGBTQIA+ community generally. But that's not why they're stirring up hate against us.

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

It's hard to fathom for most people just how much effort and money is being poured into anti-trans shit, but it's billionaires, the entire apparatus of religious right think tanks like ADF, Heritage etc, entire media empires like Rupert Murdoch's, whole political parties and world governments...

you are not a 'content creator' you are a WRITER you do not write 'fics' you write STORIES you do not have 'ocs' you have CHARACTERS

and if you disagree, well, I'm not your boss. but if you're serious about writing it's important to hold your own craft in a certain esteem and this is one way

Nearly a year after the 2024 election, Democrats are still trying to figure out what went wrong. In the midst of this soul-searching, a new piece of advice has appeared: “Don’t say climate change.” But why?

Read the full story:
Why Aren't Democrats Talking About Climate Change Anymore?
Media coverage of climate change has dropped roughly in half since 2023, according to the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication.

Every dodged question, every ‘I’m not familiar with that,’ proves Mike Johnson’s strategy: pretend ignorance while Americans lose healthcare and rights.
Q: Getting back to the Jeffries threat, this is one of a number of J6 pardons that's been rearrested. Did Trump make a mistake?

JOHNSON: I don't know any of the details. I'll tell you the violence on the left is far more prevalent than on the right. The rhetoric that you saw Saturday plays into it

“oh look a place where every single take is more left than any take I see in the nazi sludge factory, clearly they’re all unhinged lunatics over there

now let me go see what Bronze Age Pervert has to say”
It’s also why they see Bluesky as some kind of far-left open air insane asylum because they’ve had their brains smoothed so much by staying there

all the right wing shit they see is so extreme that their milquetoast right wing centrism now codes as hard left to them, they are the self-appointed arbiters of the acceptable left bound of the Overton window

this is accurate along multiple dimensions

they’re getting dumber and more right wing but they are now smarter and more left wing in comparison to the people they see on twitter all day (stupid nazis) which also leads them to be even more prone to dismissing criticism from the left
twitter is making mainstream reporters dumber, and because they're all getting dumber together, none of them can recognize it and they actually think they're getting smarter
