It seems like we're getting some kind of 15th anniversary news today for My Chemical Romance's Danger Days album.
As such, I'm resharing this video I made, arguing that Danger Days is My Chemical Romance's best narratively constructed Concept Album.

mixtape feels like one of the least likely targets of misinformation campaigns and video game culture war ire yet, but that's kind of the point: this can happen to any game now, and indeed, platforms and content creators demand it. nothing will ever be enough to sate the beast
The Access-Ability Summer Showcase 2026 is still looking for sponsorship for this year's event, to help cover ASL, BSL, and editing costs.
If you or your company would be open to sponsoring a showcase of accessible video games, please reach out.

Genuinely cannot overstate how basically impossible it is to speak to anyone human being that works at @discord_support @discord lol
Long shot, but any of my mutuals know how to contact a human being working at Discord?
Got an issue that would really be best solved if I could talk to a human, due to Support having no room for nuance in support requests.

Got an issue that would really be best solved if I could talk to a person, one who can make judgement calls and take context into account and help a person out.

AI training explained through memes.
ALT Fist of the North Star meme: 1. Did you just open your calculator for no reason at all just to get a reward? 2. ChatGPT: Hey, as long as it works.
Via ACX: "ChatGPT apparently got rewarded for using its built-in calculator during training, and so it would covertly open its calculator, add 1+1, and do nothing with the result, on five percent of all user queries."
