Thanks - that makes more sense!

Edit: I just looked at Katie Herzog's article list on The Stranger. Hoo boy... Not good.

She hosts a podcast--called blocked and Reported--that at last count was pulling in about half a million a year in support about people being cancelled. Because her and her six-figure income were cancelled so hard.

The length is absurd but you'll want Action Button for this. The whole channel is more or less just an excuse to claim Gibson's Japanese jackets on taxes.

It’s pretty funny someone would recommend it, since I just rewatched that bit last week.

I wonder how many Action Button subscribers have made references to Infinite Jest this month? It would probably be a really embarrassing number.

What did he do? Someone who died in 2008 probably deserves a little more leeway for not complying with 2022 sexual politics than someone around today.

The things that stick out to me are stalking his (ex?) partner (a poet who has written about her experience), some cringingly white “advice” on diction aimed at what sounds like a Black student he later published, and the chapters from IJ that lay the stereotyping on incredibly thick.

I’m not trying to cancel him (or even find receipts, though I’m pretty sure I’m remembering the broad strokes correctly) or whatever, but in a thread on our present cyberpunk dystopia, it’s interesting to consider how “2022 sexual politics” were far more invisible to those speculative fiction writers than the prophecies we remember them for.

those already exist, there are whole youtube channels dedicated to stuff like breakdancing (or pole dancing) as an anime girl.
supposed to be pretty expensive though, maybe this one has a lower price? i didn't see any numbers on the japanese webpage they link

$358 according to this, idk how much the professional ones cost but i assume a hell of a lot more

There was a whole controversy over whether they should be “images” or “thumbnails”, to imply that files should be kept small.

they were called “images” the first time anyone but Andreessen and Bina and friends heard about <img>, unless you mean the competing proposals like <include> that never got implemented

Look, they would only use the killbots when lives are at risk. Like when a black man tells a cup at a traffic stop that he has a legal gun in his car. Or a black woman is sleeping on her couch in her home. Or when a black man is walking down the street. Or when a black man is selling loosey cigarettes. Or when a black woman is having a mental health crisis. Or when a deaf Native American woodcarver is walking down the street holding a woodcarving knife.
