Hey @team! I downloaded an archive of my posts, but can't get the server I'm migrating to to accept it. Says "Invalid CSV file. Error: Invalid byte sequence in UTF-8 in line 1." Doesn't matter if I choose Merge or Overwrite.

On the road again!

mastodon.world's performance left a little to be desired, so I've set up an account at mas.to instead. Sorry for all the confusion!

The US should go back to school

It seems a lot of Americans are clueless about WWII:

In the second world war, the Nazi's where the bad guys

A lot of AMERICANS died to free Europe from Nazi fascism

WTF are you doing?

Tombstone 1993

Miyazaki is an artist, and frankly that man is melodramatic. It's goes with his particular brand of superlative talent & genius. So, while I agreed with his objections to AI, and enjoyed seeing the AI boys getting a thrashing, I assumed his comments about "insult to life" and "dead zombies" were hyperbolic.

It couldn't possibly be *that* bad, right?

Then I saw some of the animations in the "Ghibli Style" from AI.

They are an insult to life itself. Soulless, dead, animated corpses.

For USAians, Saturday, April 5 is a day of action and mass mobilization.

For most, you should be able to find a local demonstration where you can be with others and make yourselves heard.

We watch and review the 1986 film Maximum Overdrive, written AND directed by Stephen King. There’s a reason King isn’t known as a director. #podcast #movies #stephenking

Putting an end to the debate regarding if it's ok to punch a Nazi or not.
