People who like to shit on Macca’s “Wonderful Christmastime” are so boring, especially when Lennon’s Christmas song is ~10000x worse. One is a delightful bit of holiday fluff with some great farty keyboards and the other is the most pretentious, up-its-own-ass dreck imaginable.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

Olivia Nuzzi did more than violate journalistic ethics to help RFK Jr's campaign. She assisted an apostle of pestilence. In humanity's struggle against disease, fought since the beginning of history, she sided with the enemy. She betrayed the species. She betrayed us for her own gratification.

This shit is why I'm getting less and less work on anime and having to scramble to ask around with YouTubers for help letting me do their CCs just to pay my damn rent. There's enough anime to caption out there that I should not be fucking struggling.
After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!
