My 25 y/o cousin dated a super pretty girl for many years. Met in high school. She was a horse girl, homeschooled until 10th grade. Went to the same college, had the same friend group. He's very smart, got into a top 10 business school for his MBA. She was going to follow him. Thought he was immune to any modern day risk.
The summer between graduation and grad school, they backpacked Europe together for two weeks, right before moving to the city his grad school was in. At the end of their trip, they go through customs in Germany and head to the terminal. She starts walking another way. He asks her what's up. She said her flight is at another terminal and she wouldn't be coming with him. She flew to Miami to work on a private yacht. Haven't heard from her since.
It's rough out there.
Wild that they skipped right over "she held him up for more money, and he refused" to "this cherubic, blemishless martyr turned down MILLIONS to EXPOSE Elon".
As I said, AI will take over entertainment.
You cannot watch this and think that run-of-the-mill animators and artists will still have jobs in the next decade. Even voice actors will be a thing of the past, aside from high-end boutique, bespoke roles.
It's pure cinema.
The only issue right now is the sound and background consistency, but even that will improve significantly soon.
Essentially, anyone who doubts the power of AI in 2026 is a delusional morons living in a hyperreality of denial.
You guys wanna know why Hayley Williams is mad? It's not because she hates MAGA and thinks Republicans are the KKK. I mean, she does, but that's not the actual reason.
It's because she made some horrible relationship decisions in the past that left her lonely and miserable, childless and untrusting. She has nothing to give herself to on a very personal level. She's now increasingly irrelevant, still singing songs she wrote as a teenager she and her audience aged out of long ago, and any true meaning in her life slowly slipping away. She's clinging to whatever cause du jour she can, not just to stay relevant, but in the hopes that it'll give her life some sort of substance. It won't. It only makes her look more pathetic, and if I'm being honest, I feel sorry for her.
Because manga is more fun and entertaining. Simple as that. They’re unique interesting foreign stories with more vibrant interesting colorful art and that attracts more people. American comics mostly all have one dark gritty muted dull color palette. Manga is more easily consumed
Woke up today to a wave of passive aggressive comments from wokies who discovered my work on AO3. I absolutely loathe the way they talk. Let alone their opinions. They actually think they can gaslight us into stealing Malfoid from us.
