“this meeting could have been an email” but instead it’s “this video tutorial could have been a post with less than a hundred words”
unreaiunearth asked:
hello, i hope you’re well!
do you think that the studios’s refusals to acknowledge the sag-aftra and wga strikes will lead to protests in the french way?
neil-gaiman answered:
You mean with tongues?
The vulture capitalist hedge fund that bought and subsequently destroyed Toys R Us now owns Overdrive/Libby.
They have already begun making it worse/less usable and they have a chokepoint monopoly on the delivery method of ebooks borrowed from public libraries in the US.
A fun thing about capitalism is that rich people can buy something a lot of people love and depend on, and then destroy it for fun and profit, and there’s not really anything we can do about it.
And now they’re in closing negotiations to buy Simon and Schuster. I’m sure this will have no negative consequences for books at all.
😰
NOT GOOD.
NOT GOOD AT ALL.
Update as of 08/08/23: Simon & Schuster was sold to global investment firm KKR on 07th August ‘23 for $1.62bn (yes, the ones that also own Overdrive and Libby).
Any chance that anyone might like to kick those antitrust lawsuits up a gear?
me: wait are they playing triple g?
julia: gabagool and goblins?
after keller calls in his 187s i immediately thought of this song. it fucks.
julia’s response:
hate being the generation that remembers no ads on YouTube & the annoyance when we first saw 1 ad every 10 videos, then 1 every 5 videos, then on every video, then multiple ads within a single video, only for YouTube to market paying for Premium™️ to ‘get rid of ads!’ which weren’t even there at the start
I hate being the generation that remembers when I could easily find episodes of anime and whole ass movies on YouTube.
Hate being the generation that remembers when YouTube videos would buffer when you pause them, allowing the entire video to load and let you watch it without interruption even on slow connections.
BTVS “Every Outfit” !!! Xx
Can’t believe I got there in the end! When I started I genuinely never thought I would get to this point!!!
BTVS is my favourite show and Buffy is my fave fictional character, no competition! I’ve always love her fashion and it felt right to express my endless love for my gal but drawing all her looks!!!
This is my magnum opus! My greatest artistic achievement!!!
I wanna thank you all for the love and support during this project! First and foremost I was drawing this series for me but the excitement y’all shared shared honestly helped me fly through it! After finishing an episode I couldn’t wait for y’all to see it!!!
It has meant so much honestly and I’m so happy y’all where here for the journey!!!
The other Buffy ladies will get their love eventually! Lots of my fave ladies will get their love soon! But I won’t be doing an every single outfit series for another character, it feels right that Buffy will hold that honour!!! ♥️
