"It won't be too hard, the images will match up just fine" I said. In reality, the making of this composite image was fiddly and annoying. I am both glad I did it and glad that I will probably never do it again (but maybe I should take nighttime photos? Augh!).

This is my island for Usagi Shima!

My favourite parts are probably the little campsite and the commercial district boardwalk in the south end. The little seating area between the bakery and the ramen shop is especially delightful at night when the lanterns are all lit.

Capitalism does not breed innovation.

Tech gatekeepers have escaped so many investigations and consequences from breeches of trust.

The People need to make a change.

alive boy Charles for you. oh to be a teen boy in the 80s applying makeup in a grimy bathroom at a ska show because you know your parents would never let you put it on beforehand at home

MAGA are addicted to trauma and cruelty.

Knowing young people will become more suicidal is a test of your humanity.

Republicans gleefully fail that test.

Look I just love Emma so much

She’s a tiny scammer. She was Crystal’s BFF before Crystal had character development so presumably committed many Crimes. She wildly misrepresents Crystal in order to get the boys to help her (frolicking in a graveyard taking Polaroids? rly? Edwin actually bought that? Emma doesn’t even show up in pictures! And should be way past being amused by the novelty of that fact!).

She uses her youth and cuteness to get things even though she’s Ancient and is so accustomed to that working that she even tries it on Edwin who is also an Old Child Ghost and obviously will know better, just to avoid paying them for services rendered. (Heck, possibly she planned for Edwin to catch that one and was using it as a red herring to slip through the actual lie about Crystal.)

She mysteriously disappears after Crystal is exorcised instead of, like, telling Crystal what her full name is and where her parents are, after going to all the effort of hiring the Agency. (Maybe she thought this was a good chance to get Crystal away from her parents? I mean, Emma’s evidently doing great parent-less, and Emma would know Crystal’s parents were shit, so maybe she was like finally. Time to forcibly make this girl go no-contact at last. I’ve been telling her to block their numbers for years)

And she’s also so delightfully cold. Tiny ice queen. She seems to feel genuine affection for Crystal (though who knows, maybe that was actually all part of some mastermind scheme to get the Dead Boys out of town, or something) but she is also chillier than Edwin could ever dream of being.

AND she has a pet floating squid!!! How fucking cool is that!!! Does it squirt ink on her enemies? I want LORE

Anyway Emma getting written out after the pilot was tragic and it’s also tragic that fics never mention her because she was the Best

those ads for ai integration on phones are so funny bc it seems like they cant. come up with that many use cases that arent already on a phone? "ask gemini to give you recipes when youre cooking!" "use our AI assistant to find the perfect gift for your girlfriend" yeah or i could just like. google it. you've spent millions on a slightly fancier version of an alexa. good job man.

Niko: Can we go out to get icecream?

Charles: Did you ask Edwin?

Niko: They said no.

Charles: Then why did you ask me?

Niko: They're not the boss of you.

Charles, internally: It's a trap, it's a trap, it's a trap.

The older I get the less I can comprehend grown-ass adults being mean to kids, people in customer service, and especially teenagers in customer jobs. Saw some kid in a fast food place in an uniform that clearly stated "work training" and how I feel is almost exactly the same as seeing a little puppy in a harness that says "guide dog in training, do not disturb".

Like oh my god little baby has a job! Good job small baby!

they should invent a bus that never gets stuck in traffic because it's on its own path separated from the roads. and then chain multiple of them together and put it on rails. has anyone had this idea before.
