I love my people and it's amazing to see so many of us turn up today, but it's like herding very friendly cats 😂

I love when fanfics talk about super rare things in the population (ie aob dynamics) and are like "only 2% of the population..." bub that's so many people.

well i want someone to talk to 24/7 to drag around and go places with me and maybe it’s codependency mixed with desire but i just want someone to stick with me for life

I guess the "hate AI no matter what" website is ok with AI when it canonizes spirk. so can we just agree that there may be uses of AI that are worth it or chill? the Nimoy family/estate was fine with the posthumous portrayal so I think it's fine. altho it does look bad.

OMG. Somebody said it out loud.

Disney is absolutely not the only studio doing this though.

It seems to have become standard practice across movies and series everywhere.

Anything that doesn't do it is like a breath of sunlight and fresh air inside a dank musty cave.

It's part of the 'fix it in post-production' epidemic sweeping through the studios. Fix it in post is often used as a time/money-saving measure - and is absolutely part of the same mess that the WGA is fighting against currently.

Rather than fixing things on-set - audio, lighting, something in-frame that shouldn't be, etc. (which is all handled by unionized crew) - they leave it for the CG folks (not unionized) to edit later.

(on ridiculously tight schedules that leave them scrambling, cutting corners, and working inhumane hours)

See also: that part where scripts aren't finished, because the studio won't fully staff the writers room, and won't pay to have writers on-set for day-of-filming script questions and fixes (which could resolve issues such as 'what kind of lighting do we need here?')

Anyway, all this shit we, as audiences, keep complaining about - bad lighting, bad sound, wonky visual effects, over-usage of not-great CGI, stilted acting on green-screen sets, scripts that seem not-quite-finished, costumes that look like they're cheap and flimsy, terrible hair and makeup, films and series that aren't as polished as they could be...

Plus the complaints we have about streaming services and their shenanigans...

All of that is enmeshed in the extreme capitalism that has taken over everything, including entertainment, to the point that studios are abusing their workforce and churning out material that - at best just doesn't live up to its potential - at worst, is just unwatchable shit.

baby.......

Graby got a completely blocked urethra today and is getting bottom surgery on Thursday, none of which we can afford, and she needs to be rehomed because she's too stressed at our house and we can't afford her treatments. feels bad to not be able to take care of a cat that has been in my home for a year. looking into medical surrender. she will have a better chance of rehoming with the surgery I think.

learn how to stop major hemorrhages!!!! you are far more likely to be able to save someone's life by taking a Stop the Bleed or equivalent class than by getting a gun. this is a very easy life-saving skill! average time to bleed out from arterial bleeds is 3-5 minutes and average time for first responders to arrive is 7-10 minutes!!!!

I am bored of the something scary happens -> "it's time to get guns" cycle. If you're considering buying a gun before doing things like exercising or taking first aid/CPR/etc. courses or preparing for natural disasters your region deals with then I suspect you're either panicking and reaching for something you associate with protection or you're overly tempted by the aesthetics of armed conflict.

How do they keep making later and later stages of late-capitalism
