There was a camping anime some years ago that was sponsored by a group of camping and outdoors sites in Japan, and it was a pretty big hit. They even saw an uptick in campers, especially first-timers, after the show started airing.

This was also a period where there was a weird amount of anime that had, like, newlywed couples and couples with young kids, slice of life stuff. People put two and two together and started making jokes about the Japanese government covertly sponsoring anime studios to adapt material that depicted a positive image of family life to encourage people to have kids. Abe, being the Prime Minister at the time, had his face plastered all over the memes about it.

Can't believe it every time I see some county passing a raw milk law and acting like it's some great victory for consumers.

We spent literal millennia trying to find ways to preserve dairy as a safe, edible source of food, be it cheese, yoghurt, whatever, because milk is SO FUCKING CONTAMINATED WHEN IT'S RAW. Milk spoils so fast that it has to be worked around as part of old-time baking recipes! We've used science and industrial infrastructure to make it as safe as possible and that shit still becomes unconsumable like ten days after you buy it, even if you refrigerate it immediately!

Everyone seems to have noticed a few hours later so I think he snuck a tweet out at three in the morning, which I'm taking as a good sign that he's recovering fine.

Oh cool my For You feed on Twitter is doing that thing again where it starts giving me right-wing psychos despite my only follows being left-wingers and FGC dorks that never talk about politics.

Real weird how these unhinged maniacs flood onto my feed every time an ongoing major political event happens. Funny bug there, Elon. Only started once you bought the website and fired all the content moderation people, Elon.

Dune in the style of French New Wave. Just a bunch of mundane conversations laden with layers of metaphor and subtext, and a bunch of unhinged, non-diegetic cuts to paintings and ordinary household objects as puns and visual metaphors for the dialogue.

The movie will run four and a half hours and only about fifteen minutes of it will not involve someone monologuing at length.

I swear to God all his comms dept people just read Twitter all day and can only parrot back their base's posts on Twitter at them.

YOU ARE THE PRESIDENT. YOU ARE THE PERSON WHO DOES THE THINGS.

Oh yeah whoops I accidentally left out the bit about them being "left-adjacent at best" when I rewrote my reply, but yeah you're right.

it wouldn’t surprise me if Thiel money has made its way through the leftist podcast scene

I think there was a scoop yesterday that some Thiel acolyte tacitly admitted that Anna K and Red Scare have received Thiel money to fund their podcasts, along with some other people in that sphere, so it's not much of a stretch.

a lot of cringe “The Empire is super evil but it’s the only thing stopping humanity from being wiped out” bs

Which would still work fine if done with a satirical bent, if the overall theme of these stories was a kind of fatalistic "we could have stopped this" angle, rather than the cynical, psychotic banality of the worst evils mankind can inflict on the universe being the best we could have ever hoped to do.

Gotta inject the unnecessary pedobait character into EVERY SINGLE FUCKING SHOW so that you can sell all that pricey merch and $200+ blu-ray sets to desperate weirdoes.

Oh, sorry, I'm talking about the anime industry of like five years ago. Nowadays they just greenlight shows about guys getting isekai'd into worlds where they can act out their pedo fantasies, and get a bunch of weird fucking nerds on the internet to defend them. I legitimately think that entire industry is on a crash-course with The One Show that gets the entire industry so stigmatized that it never recovers. They've been really fucking pushing it as of late.
