Yes!!! Everyone please give a listen, this was so much fun. 💖
@bunnycartoon.bsky.social and myself are guests on this episode of Otaku no Shouzou, a normally Spanish-language Chilean anime fan podcast that just for us went Anglo for the day so we could talk about the experience of pre-2000 anime fandom in the Estados Unidos! hanagumi.denpa.cl/2024/07/04/o...

It's kind of amazing to realize that the greater anime press now has higher standards than the WaPo and NYT editorial boards.

I'm PRETTY FUCKING SURE that trying to force a narrative against the general reality of a situation flies right in the face of "Minimize harm" AND - more important - "Seek truth and fucking report it"
Cannot emphasize enough how pathetic these editorial boards are revealing themselves to be.

i drop this when folks are clicking to read a performatively bad take by a fascist in the new york times. 1—that’ll make it the best performing piece of the day 2—guy writes for national review—the mag william f buckley founded 3—i know you like wordle, but the nyt has always been like this
in 1986—peak AIDS crisis; only 6 months after reagan admitted AIDS was real—the NYT ran a william f buckley op-ed calling for all HIV+ people to be tattooed on the arm & the ass for the greater good anyone giving the NYT the benefit of the doubt about trans coverage: this is who they’ve always been

OK so while we argue on this site about who should replace Biden Twitter is burning up with WHY DOESNT THE MEDIA COVER TRUMP SEXUALLY ASSAULTING CHILDREN WITH EPSTEIN we really need to stop the discourse on here being so completely led by a handful of white elite dipshits in ac offices

Was awesome to join @adamconover.bsky.social on the Factually show to talk about the AI bubble and the general state of the tech industry. youtu.be/T8ByoAt5gCA?... podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
The A.I. Bubble is Bursting with Ed Zitronyoutu.be Big tech is betting tens of billions of dollars on AI being the next big thing, but what if it isn't? ChatGPT burns obscene amounts of cash daily with little return, Google's AI dispenses useless and sometimes dangerous advice, and a recent study showed that tech companies will soon run out of new training data to improve their AI models. If AI is really so costly, unreliable, and limited, what happens to the industry that has bet so big on it? This week, Adam talks with journalist and influential tech critic Ed Zitron of wheresyoured.at to discuss the impending burst of the AI bubble, the hubris of Silicon Valley, and how we suffer under big tech's "Rot Economy."

Looking at the news coming out of AX today: treat the people in the trenches with kindness this weekend - everyone is going to be fucking busy. Also, thanks to @fandompost.com and @animenewsnetwork.com for keeping the lights in the newsroom on today. It's appreciated. 💖

Good to see @nytimes.com keeping up its stellar record of letting the far-right use them to launder lies into circulation without even the barest oversight to ensure the dude writing “I don’t vote” does not, in fact, consistently vote All the news that’s fit to print, and some propaganda for flavor

I can't remember in my entire lifetime any of the major media sources criticizing candidates or incumbents on virtues of what they're doing. "Read my lips" and "Potato" got more coverage than the fact Bush I was a fucking tire fire. This is just buffoonery. This is a self-important circus.
The teleprompter is a common device for politicians. But President Biden’s use of it even in small settings has prompted frustration by some listeners.

Your regular reminder that the Lincoln Project is literally a Republican PAC, created to siphon money from Dems and leftists. Rick Wilson - one of their founders - stated exactly this on The New Abnormal podcast shortly before he quit the show. They are weird, sociopathic freaks by definition.
Oh wow I'm hearing that the Lincoln Project are being weird freaks again

thinking about the time period circa 2009 when i was frenemies with an OCRemix judge and went from thinking the site was kinda cool to realizing it was complete BS. he would play me songs they rejected and make fun of them and a lot of them would be wonderful. fan website of petty smalltime tyrants

You’re linking to NBC right now that’s hardly burying
This story hits a little harder now that the jury documents for Epstein's case have been released (and Trump's name is ALLLLLL over those documents). Again, mainstream media is burying this story for Trump. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Jeffrey Epstein introduced me to Trump at 14, Ghislaine Maxwell accuser sayswww.nbcnews.com Testifying at Maxwell’s trial in New York City, the woman, identified by the pseudonym Jane, said she met the former president in the 1990s at his Mar-a-Lago resort.

The NYT's editorial board is really - REALLY putting in the work to get their favorite fascist elected, aren't they?
