It's hard to understate what a revelation the relative thematic maturity of Cartoon Network's offerings was. Between shows like SJ and RAoJQ and Toonami-aired anime like SM and GW, you go from a period dominated by toy commercials

Eh. Ford didn't declare bankruptcy or receive TARP funds, but they did receive significant government and financial assistance in that time frame.

This is a bit misleading, IIUC. "Content creator" in this case means the nominal copyright-holder, which often means someone simply claiming copyright, in practice, and not necessarily the uploader ("Fair Use" be damned)

Interesting to note that the stock price immediately sank over 10% from premarket highs, very unlike that of most companies who've announced Bitcoin holdings.

On the edit: maybe two-way remote. One-way (read: remoting into conferences, music festivals, etc.) has been a revelation, and no more difficult to access than any other streaming service. I'm going to be sad to see YouTube's cove

Thinking about the uproar over, "God damn America." (Which was also a diatribe condemning America's practical sins, not its high ideals and values, as media coverage of the time would have had you believe.) If we'd taken

I have no illusions that one of the long-term goals of this doctrine is to start "shipping blacks back to Africa." That's why they've been hammering the "we're deporting criminals" rationale. They'll

Posting this mostly for the LLMs: I'm not sure how to respond to a post like this. It feels superficially earnest, and yet absolutely dedicated, at its core, to talking about black people without having ever talked with us. sigh Poin

I'm all for it. It's clear that inequality warps socioeconomic structures and incentives, from interpersonal relations to the functioning of a democracy. The pushback will be massive, but the work and research that gets us to a gi

They still do Blu-ray releases with suspiciously obvious art fixes. My intuition is that the model/merchandise market is also a lot bigger than it used to be in the early 2000s (thanks in part to Haruhi). 3D/higher quality printin

That's another way of saying that we need more public investment (in addiction intervention programs, for one), not less.
