so anyway i like to listen to "i won't say i'm in love" from the disney movie "hercules" and think of apollo being meg... and trucy, ema and beanix being the muses, and it's obvious who herc is lol (klavier!)

and then youtube is like "you should listen to 'friend like me' from the hit disney movie 'aladdin'" and i'm like ok and then i'm imagining like beanix is the genie to apollo, and he has trucy doing all this magic while pulling playing cards out of his sleeves and whatnot.

and then i remembered that "the princess and the frog" exists as a disney movie and it was great. i really liked "friends on the other side" so i listen to that and i'm like. facilier is zak but as shadi enigmar and he's inviting phoenix and kristoph in to tell their fortunes, with phoenix being naveen and kristoph, lawerence. "won't you shake a poor sinner's hand, boys?" the way zak screwed up both their lives really resonates with faciliers energy here!! and the cards!! they could be like poker/tarot cards!!!! fuck!!!!!! and the friends on the other side are magnifi, valant and thalassa!

and that's why i should learn to animate so I can make all these animatics AND MORE

Sometimes I write news some people might have missed about tech things. If you bought a Disney program via the Playstation store, they're being removed, including yanked out of your account. No refund. I think you'd be morally justified in pirating that content now. Also, Google (aka Alphabet) is going ahead with their adblock-breaking browser add-on change next year. Since a LOT of browsers are Chromium based now, this is a serious problem, and you should probably start migrating to Safari, Firefox, or one of it's derivatives. As a bonus, Firefox mobile also supports add-ons, including adblockers. If you're still on Twitter, you're the product the premier Nazi bar of our day is selling. Or was selling. Or something. Stop it. What's likely the most important electric truck of the decade launched a few weeks ago. It's not the Cybertruck, though. It's the Ramcharger, which is basically just a normal truck that also happens to be a range-extended BEV. About damn time.

I love seeing the little posts here and there about what stage of meltdown Twitter is in today.

Fire is so pretty from a distance.

[starryocean]

for anyone who saw my tags on that last post and is curious as to why i think microsoft would actually Give A Shit about banning bigots and enforcing proper moderation if they were to buy twitter at the end of this fiasco once Elon (eventually, and that is a definite eventually) goes down:

image 1 source image 2 source image 3 source

and this is just with xbox. if they bought twitter, they’d sure as hell want to put their money where their mouth is and practice the same policies there.

(also if someone could add an image transcription in a reblog that would be great, i honestly don’t have the energy to do it myself rn)

Freemasons admit Burning Man event is “umistakenly” Masonic influenced aka satanic.

People are stranded at Burning Man after bad weather brought the festival to a halt. A rainstorm muddied the desert campsite, shutting down the local airport and gate. Organizers told attendees to shelter in place and conserve resources like food.Sep 3, 2023

Couldn't have happened to a better bunch of freaks.

Tumblr is the Team Fortress 2 of social media if you really think about it

- Launched in 2007 and still going on decently strong over a decade and half later as of 2024.

- Bizarre for all the right reasons (like in what other site is gonna let me ramble on why Humans are very similar to Saiyans or hear people argue as Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth over if a post about library books was staged, and what other game is gonna let me trade my high damage explosive weaponry for a sword and shield or trade my rocket launcher for a non-lethal version just to fly around as the dingus with a shovel?)

- Often gets joked about how dead they are, despite both still having decently sized and active user base even if it's not quite as big as before.

- Bot problems

- Both have outlasted their most notable competitors by taking the Luigi strategy of doing absolutely nothing (namely Twitter, or at least when Twitter went by Twitter Pre-Elon Musk, and Overwatch) and seem to be potentially outlasting said competitors' updated counterparts (X and Overwatch 2)

Seven Straight

Bears Defeat #21 Virginia Tech In Extras

Also Beat Illinois State, Continue Domination at Littlewood Classic

PHOENIX – The California softball team made it seven straight victories with a thrilling 6-5 extra innings win over No. 21 Virginia Tech and a 5-2 beat down of Illinois State on Saturday at the Littlewood Classic.

The Golden Bears (9-1) used a 4-hit day from Elon Butler and a 3-run homer from Kyndal Todd to record their best start to the season since winning the first 12 games in 2018.

Game 1: Cal 6, No. 21 Virginia Tech 5 (8) The Bears rallied with two down in the first to take the early lead. Tatum Anzaldo drew a leadoff walk and scored when Acacia Anders doubled to center with two strikes. Butler quickly made it 2-0 with a laser off the wall in left to plate Anders.

Virginia Tech rallied back in the third with four runs on two hits. Starter Haylei Archer battled through the first two Hokie innings, but a single and a walk put two on with one out as Cal went to Randi Roelling out of the bullpen. Another walk loaded the bases and Rachel Castine hit a grand slam to make it 4-2.

Cal quickly had an answer in the fourth to knot things right back up. Anders took a free pass to start the inning and Butler launched a 1-0 pitch off the netting in left field for her fourth homer of the season.

Roelling settled in after the home run, scattering a single and a pair of walks through the end of the fifth. Cal's offense fell silent after the Butler home run, drawing just a pair of walks and a hit by pitch off of starter Lyndsey Grein and reliever Emma Mazzarone through the top of the seventh.

Starting the eighth inning with the International Tiebreaker and Mika Lee on second base, the Bears manufactured a run. Kaylee Pond put down a sacrifice bunt to move Lee to third, and after a groundout Butler doubled down the right field line for her third hit of the game to score Lee. Cal added another run when Butler raced home on a dropped third strike.

Leading 6-4, Roelling got a groundout, RBI sacrifice fly and a pop out to end the game and secure her third win of the season. She went 5.2 innings while allowing just two earned runs.

Game 2: Cal 5, Illinois State 2 Scoreless until the fifth, Cal's bats finally broke out thanks to Tianna Bell. The sophomore crushed her first home run of the season, a blast to left field as Cal took a 1-0 lead.

Anna Reimers was effective for the Bears in the circle, allowing just one hit, a bloop single, until the sixth inning. The Redbirds got their own bats going in that frame using a pair of hits and a couple Cal errors to take a 2-1 advantage.

The lead was short-lived as Pond went opposite field to even the game right back up with a solo shot. Tied 2-2 heading to the seventh, Cal reliever Ashanti McDade set the Illinois State hitters down in order to give the Bears a chance to walk it off in the bottom half.   

The Bears did just that when Todd launched a 2-2 pitch way over the fence in center for her first-career home run.

UP NEXT Cal finishes the Littlewood Classic on Sunday, February 18th with an 8 a.m. PT first pitch vs. Memphis at the GCU Softball Stadium.

1. Phoenix Wright- Juan Gabriel

2. Miles Edgeworth- Michael Jackson

3. Klavier Gavin- Elon Musk

4. Apollo Justice- Fidel Perez

5. Franziska Von Karma- Veronica Rodriguez

6. Manfred Von Karma- Donald Trump (lol)

Ah yes, my favorite Ace Attorney character. Michael Jackson.

So, I watched the new “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish” last night

And I loved Death, like everyone else

I love Perrito, like everyone else

But what I haven’t seen anyone talk about…Is Jack Horner

He’s totally a stand-in for modern Disney right? And I mean like, The Walt Disney company, not Disney properties individually

Possible spoilers below the cut

I realized this when my husband turned to me and said “I’m a little disappointed that they didn’t find a way to redeem Horner.”

I thought about it for a moment, and said “I don’t think he deserved it. I think he was meant to be emblematic of corporate monopolies right now.”

And we looked at each other and I could tell we both had the same thought.

He’s Disney.

Think about it:

Almost all his weapons are representative of a movie Disney has done a live action remake of (with the exception of the phoenix but I think that’s a dig at the Fantastic Beast movies)

He wants all the power for himself so no one can have any

HE LITERALLY HAS A THUMB IN EVERYONES PIE

Family, trust, and friendship were the main things that saved the other characters and made them redeemable. Jack had no respect for the people that worked for him, even going so far as to kill them ALMOST ON PURPOSE

He may also be stand-ins for Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk but I think it’s fascinating that the company and franchise that opened up with This Guy

Now has a villain that seems to spit in the face of worker safety, fairytales, and family business.

The COVID-19 pandemic’s sudden onset in 2020 and its persistent impacts in ensuing years posed new challenges for large U.S. cities and metropolitan areas.

Some of the initial challenges were related to the specific nature of the coronavirus and public health responses. In March 2020, residents of cold, dense cities seemed at greater risk of contracting the airborne illness than those in more spread-out, temperate communities where people could spend time outside year-round.1 More persistent challenges are related to the rapid adoption of remote work technologies, which enable certain kinds of work to be done anywhere with a high-speed internet connection, and not necessarily in big-city downtowns dominated by what today are increasingly vacant office buildings.

In an increasingly hyper-polarized country, some of these dynamics intersected with partisan politics. Republican-led states such as Florida and Texas positioned themselves as refuges for movers seeking escape from “Covid lockdowns” in Democratic-led states. In response to these and other political factors, Elon Musk moved Tesla’s headquarters from Silicon Valley to Austin, Texas, and a prominent Chicago financier moved his hedge fund to Miami after his employees started working from a high-end hotel there during the height of the pandemic.

The housing market also played a role in fueling migration during this time. As more people worked from home, demand for homeownership rose, particularly for larger homes. For example, in San Diego County—which for many years had built little new housing—median home prices skyrocketed from $660,000 in January 2020 to $860,000 just two years later, according to Zillow. Prices also rose in more affordable, flexible markets, but much more modestly; in Houston over that same time, the median home price increased from $195,000 to $240,000.

My colleague William H. Frey was among the first to document significant migration away from big metro areas during the pandemic. His analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data showed accelerated domestic out-migration from large, coastal metro areas such as New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, and Seattle between 2020 and 2021. Domestic in-migration, meanwhile, remained strong in Sun Belt metro areas such as Phoenix, Dallas, Tampa, Fla., San Antonio, and Raleigh, N.C. Frey’s subsequent analysis showed these trends moderated through 2022 and 2023 as the initial impacts of the pandemic subsided.

Even if they are temporary in some respects, these recent migration patterns could have lasting impacts. Richard Florida, for instance, points to the rise of “meta cities”—large U.S. metro areas distant from each other yet linked closely by the ties of remote work and Covid-era movers, such as New York and Miami (finance), the Bay Area and Austin (tech), and Los Angeles and Nashville, Tenn. (entertainment). The Economic Innovation Group chronicled a loss of high earners from major urban centers such as New York, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. during the first two years of the pandemic. The home listing service Redfin, meanwhile, noted rising housing demand in affordable markets proximate to major metro areas (e.g., New Haven, Conn. outside New York; Richmond, Va. outside Washington, D.C.; Worcester, Mass. outside Boston), suggesting the growing prominence of hybrid (versus fully remote) work arrangements. How these dynamics play out could have significant implications for the economic and social health of cities, and for America’s urban hierarchy in the 21st century.

To better understand these dynamics, this report analyzes data from the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) Statistics of Income program on U.S. population migration at the county level. The data tracks individual income tax filers who changed addresses from one year to the next, and reports the number of tax filers moving between counties (a proxy for households), the number of personal exemptions among those filers (a proxy for individuals), and the total adjusted gross income reported on their returns (a proxy for household income). While the IRS migration data is only currently available through 2022 (versus 2023 in Census Bureau migration data), it has the advantages of tracking movements between specific counties and revealing something about the economic status of migrating households.2

This report uses the IRS county-level migration data to track movement before and after the pandemic’s onset among U.S. metropolitan areas, which are collections of counties that approximate regional economies and labor markets.3 The analysis assigns each county in the dataset to its corresponding metro area based on the latest Census Bureau metropolitan delineations.4 An important limitation of the IRS data is that it suppresses county-to-county flows of fewer than 20 tax filers to protect taxpayer privacy. In 2021-22, for instance, the data reflects a total of 7.6 million U.S. filers moving to metropolitan counties, with the source county indicated for 5.8 million of them. This means that the county-to-county data misses 1.8 million households (or 23% of all households) moving to metropolitan counties in 2021-22. Many of these households likely moved from small, non-metropolitan counties, but the flows among metro areas charted here inevitably miss moves occurring between smaller counties in metro areas of all sizes.

Despite this limitation, the IRS data is useful for answering basic questions about domestic migration and the possible impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Focusing on the nation’s metropolitan areas, this analysis specifically asks if and how the pandemic may have altered the:

Overall level of migration within and among metro areas

Key metropolitan origins and destinations of movers

Economic character of movers, and/or their sending/receiving communities

In general, the analysis confirms that the pandemic made an impact on metropolitan migration patterns, but also finds that these changes did not significantly alter the demographic or economic trajectory of metro regions. The analysis concludes with thoughts on the implications of these patterns as the economy returns to a “new normal” in the pandemic’s aftermath.
