All my family and friends have special ringtones! :3

Mom - ねね (Ne ne) from Wolf Children Sister 1 - Hot Hot Hot by Bina Mistry from Bend it Like Beckham Sister 2 - Doctor Who theme Sister 3 - The Goose Steps High from The Aristocats

Friend 1 - Rodeo de Chocobo from Final Fantasy XV Friend 2 - See You Tomorrow from How to Train Your Dragon

it's kind of sad that we don't really do custom ringtones anymore. most people just stick with the default list that comes with your phone, if they change it at all. if they're even aware they can change it at all. like yeah, people letting their phones ring in public is obnoxious, but wouldn't it be a little less obnoxious if it was something funny? or personal? people used to change the text tone of every contact so every time they got a text they knew who it was just from the sound. isn't that sweet? isn't that nice? don't you miss it? don't you want to scream when you hear that stupid apple pa-Ting!??? we could have a chorus of awoogas and clips of people's favorite songs and recordings saying '(blank) IS CALLING, WARNING, (blank) IS CALLING' and all things considered i would prefer that over pa-Ting!, pa-Ting!, pa-Ting!, whistle whistle, pa-Ting!

anyway im going to change my ringtone to the oldschool skype call sound and nobody will ever hear it because my phone is always on silent but i'll know. i'll know

A New Resin is Able to Recycle Wind Turbine Blades Into Products Like Countertops and Diapers

From this article in Anthropocene Magazine:

Some companies are finding ways to recycle blades by shredding them and reusing the fiberglass and plastic resin to make cement and plastics. But the world will produce over 40 million metric tons of turbine blade waste by 2050, according to one study. That scale highlights an urgent need to make recycling blades easier. To address the issue, chemical engineering and materials science professor John Dorgan and colleagues developed a new resin made of a synthetic polymer and the plant-based polymer polylactide, or PLA, which is used to make biodegradable packaging. Fiberglass panels that the team made with the new resin were strong and durable enough for wind turbines and boat hulls. To recycle the panels, the researchers dissolved them in a solution and removed the glass fibers. The resin could then be used to make new panels or mixed with different minerals to make cultured stone for kitchen countertops. What’s more, the researchers could also treat the recovered resin in an alkaline solution to make an acrylic material for car lights or the absorbent material used in diapers. With some more chemical processing, they made a food preservative called potassium lactate, with which Dorgan’s team made gummy bears.

the problem with ai in kpop is that anything which takes off the inhumane average idol workload would be a good thing but if that thing mows down half the rainforest, steals, fools, dumbs us down, and drastically speeds up the comeback cycle (since you can pump out ai goop faster) so that idols end up working more anyway we are back to square one which is we gotta make even the most seductive ai content flop collectively for all it’s worth, and pressure companies to legally mark their products as such so we can avoid it.

i mean imagine. even if it rests him i don’t want to see lets say taemin copied to fake dance as “t-AI-min the carbon footprint criminal” in some elusive popup store wasting a gazillion gallons of water, and he doesn’t even get paid for lending his likeness. all training, fame, and skills in vain. i know it’s too late since companies use slop excessively now since it benefits only them and we consume it whether we want to or not but we can still refuse the obvious content. it just ruins fandoms, concert culture (!), the work of editors, fair salaries, privacy, and our perception of artistic excellence. 

in other words: in all possible lives i would choose yoongi rapping in person and not agust chatgpt ffs
