Band name of the day: subversive populist vulgarity
Visible connection (AKA transpointing windows) makes explicit the implicit rhizomaticity of text.
shout out to everybody who keeps translating 'denpa' as 'microwave' instead of 'psychotronic': 10/10 subtle troll, excellent work
underground comix -> subway comix -> metro comix -> densha comix -> denpa comix
My Alita review: 10/10 some of the decapitations are very romantic
Hollywood blockbuster Lupin III movie when
Band name of the day: the thin place
I feel like the simplified and cliched ideas about slashers that informed Scream kept me from discovering the strange and wonderful world of actually-good slashers like Sleepaway Camp, Happy Birthday to Me, Tourist Trap, etc. Like, a lot of them are surreal and moody and great.
The reason there are so many furries online is the long tail
All of the negative reviews of Alita are like "it follows the manga even when it shouldn't, which makes it not feel like a hollywood movie, & it fits 4.5 volumes of manga into a 2 hour movie"
All of the positive reviews of Alita are like "it follows the manga even when you don't expect it to, which makes it not feel like a hollywood movie, & does the best job it possibly could fitting 4.5 volumes of manga into a 2 hour movie"
The Evil of Dracula is the best movie about face-stealing vampires created by 18th century japanese foreign policy at a girls' boarding school I've ever seen.
Bad idea of the day: Do a free machine-generated text class at a library (using tracery or something), self-publish the course materials as a book (with proceeds going to the library as donations), & get a couple copies for the stacks.
Triple feature: E. V. van Odle's The Clockwork Man, David R. Bunch's Moderan, & Charlie Stross's Accelerando
Band name of the day: Xtreme Witchcraft
Band name of the day: theraputic extinction
Avoiding the tendency toward recentralization is a (if not the) primary concern of anarchocommunist & left-libertarian political philosophy, so the association between ancaps & 'decentralizaiton' seems strange.
The 'writing criticism' curator wrote a review of MfoM where they claimed that the characters were flat but the plot was engaging. I consider this a success, since I was worried about plot (since I don't 'get' it).
Band name of the day: the obligation choclettes
roses are blue / violets are blue / dabba-dee dabba-die
JIRA would be a lot more useful if it was small enough to actually load & render on my company-provided workstation.
Band name of the day: worm from heaven
Giallo title of the day: The Spider With Ten Legs
Band name of the day: air disaster
Band name of the day: ubiquitous movement practices
Band name of the day: occasional intrusions from a strange reality
Happy day-before-deep-discounts-on-chocolate day
Today is St. Valentine's day. Celebrate by ressurecting vats of minced and pickled children, like St Valentine is most famous for doing
Band name of the day: new evidence for the strange geometry of thought
Band name of the day: different forms of play
Band name of the day: dysphoric rituals
Why the heck don't phone keyboards have arrow keys?
Band name of the day: the hedonic reversal
"[A] post-work future nobody outside of silicon valley asked for" dude, I think everybody who has ever worked is asking for a post-work future...
I think maybe the reason I'm not impressed by DeepFakes is that I can't identify people by their faces reliably anyway, while I'm very good at identifying when something is horribly dithered, so it seems pointless.
Band name of the day: mind, stamina, muscle, & feet
Band name of the day: faulty language selection
even rats laugh, but Boogiepop never does
