It’s already bad enough that the VAs are getting paid peanuts (especially for feature length theatrical films). Now they have to worry about cheap bastards cutting corners for AI slopdubs nobody wants or asked for!? Disgusting shit all around.

Pumpkin pie’s nice, but pumpkin cheesecake is awesome

Part 1 is worth marathoning, especially now that everything up to the Reze arc has been animated. People also love to drop Part 1 spoilers as if everyone's caught up, so there'd be a higher priority to read ahead for Part 1 than Part 2 at the moment. I'm enjoying Part 2, but it's pretty incomprehensible most of the time, so it's harder to spoil.

Two Cleveland Guardians pitchers have been indicted on sports gambling charges: https://apnews.com/article/clase-ortiz-indictment-pitches-71ddc7ce329118400131e86f2e6021f2 Wanted to share this because the most recent incident on Clease’s end was an intentional ball that got whiffed hard by Andy Pages. 62739105-BD9C-4D52-91D4-501DD55D859E.mp4

Spirited Away, Terminator 1 & 2, Scream, Black Dynamite, After Hours, the Charlie’s Angels movies, The Matrix, Princess Mononoke, The Thing, This is Spinal Tap, and Blue Velvet are the main ones I have in mind.

Pabst is my go-to when I want alot of cheap beer, but there aren’t many restaurants with PBR on the menu. The Trader Joe’s Double IPA is another, but that’s store only and mostly worth it for the %.

My phone can only handle N64 games, but the battery life on a phone discourages me from playing them

Sorry if this one is long-winded. At some point, I wrote a few posts worth of material and decided to consolidate them into one post since they all involve the Labubu. I don’t know why but I associate Labubu’s with the same pure evil that encapsulates 2025. Like why do you look so happy? Everything’s on fire, and you’re fucking smiling. It’s like you’re getting everything you ever wanted as society collapses and enshittification kicks into high gear. The fact that it’s a luxury item provokes me even more. It’s like you’re taunting the people who buy you. “Haha, you spent your hard earned money on an eyesore that looks at you like you’re a sucker for having FOMO.” In a year where abject cruelty is treated like a virtue, the rise of Labubu’s feel like a reflection of the contempt our society has for anyone who gets swindled. “Wanna feel relevant like you actually want to keep up with the world around you? Tie your personality to a luxury product and live vicariously through your reckless spending, teehee.” It’s not so different from sports betting apps that prey upon habits and addictions to associate enjoying sports with gambling on sports. Of course, Mike Tyson will think you’re a badass for wasting two paychecks on a parlay that went south. Of course, you’re treating yourself to a simple pleasure in life if you throw down $300-$1000 on a limited edition Labubu that looks like Tony Tony Chopper. And these are “collectibles” too. At least most Beanie Babies or Funko are cheap enough at regular stores. Tying your collectibles to limited quantities and blind box discounts is even more predatory.
