Types:

that Brian Eno quote about how whatever you find most repulsive about a medium (film grain, record scratches/fuzz, CDs skipping) will be the first thing you try and emulate once that medium is obsolete because it’s “the sign of a moment too powerful for the medium assigned to contain it”…. man…….

“Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.” -Brian Eno

storyboard/animatic to "Stalemate" to celebreate the Death Note Musical's London premiere!

i first came across this album back in 2015 when I adopted a very niche fixation for Korean-adapted musicals (mostly XIA/Junsu) (which then made me a fan of so many of Frank Wildhorn's works) so tribute is well overdue lol :)

IM GOING TO CRY THEY MIGHT INCREASE THE SSI ASSETS LIMIT TO $10,000.

it's a bipartisan bill too! and for anyone unaware, people on SSI (which is different from SSDI), can only have $2,000 in assets (unless they have an ABLE account, which comes with its own rules). this assets limit has been in place for FORTY YEARS and is a giant part of why being on SSI keeps people incredibly impoverished.

i've also heard they might remove the marriage penalty but i don't have the spoons to read or explain it so someone else please add on!

this is huge! please spread the word and do what you can to help ensure this happens!

Now would be a GREAT time to call/email/write your Congressperson! And it will still have different amounts for couples and individuals but it will be much less punitive. And it will be tied to inflation!!! It will be increased to $20,000 for couples and $10,000 for individuals.

For reference here's the link to the Senate bill: https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/2767 and the House version: https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/5408 I recommend looking at these to see who is already sponsoring them and make sure to either call in support OR to call asking them to work on this.

It's also pretty short! Here is the full text of the bill (same text for both the Senate and the House):

SEC. 2. Update in eligibility for the supplemental security income program.

(a) Update in resource limit for individuals and couples.—Section 1611(a)(3) of such Act (42 U.S.C. 1382(a)(3)) is amended—

(1) in subparagraph (A), by striking “$2,250” and all that follows through the end of the subparagraph and inserting “$20,000 in calendar year 2023, and shall be increased as described in section 1617(d) for each subsequent calendar year.”; and

(2) in subparagraph (B), by striking “$1,500” and all that follows through the end of the subparagraph and inserting “$10,000 in calendar year 2023, and shall be increased as described in section 1617(d) for each subsequent calendar year.”.

(b) Inflation adjustment.—Section 1617 of such Act (42 U.S.C. 1382f) is amended—

(1) in the section heading, by inserting “; inflation adjustment” after “benefits”; and

(2) by adding at the end the following:

“(d) In the case of any calendar year after 2023, each of the amounts specified in section 1611(a)(3) shall be increased by multiplying each such amount by the quotient (not less than 1) obtained by dividing—

“(1) the average of the consumer price index for all urban consumers (all items; United States city average, as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the Department of Labor) for the 12-month period ending with September of the preceding calendar year, by

“(2) such average for the 12-month period ending with September 2022.”.

legit had no idea the chinese tom and jerry mobile game was still going

I had to find this Chinese adaptation of the American slapstick classic. I confirm, yes this is a real thing: https://youtu.be/NOA-mPpCWcA I'm not sure if it's a shoddy reskin of a popular IP or an artistic miracle breathing new life into characters that would probably never be animated again otherwize. I guess I'll need to play it to find out. Can anyone help me with a Chinese Captcha?

To my understanding, it's essentially 2D Dead by Daylight with the theme being Cats vs. Mice. I think when the game started they didn't have much for characters so you could play as a few different versions of Jerry. But the roster seems to really filled out now. Pictured here IS NOT Jerry, it's Devil Jerry who is a separate character with his own skins.

And here's skins for Normal Jerry,

They've also made some characters inspired by unnamed characters from the cartoons. Like the female cats Tom would try to get with, Toodles Galore has an "EDM Girl" costume.

and the cat from the Wild West episode

They've done a lot more than you could think they would. The wiki is surprisingly detailed.

cackling at this, can NOT believe it's a real, actual quote. it reads so much like one of those clickhole pieces
