I think when it comes to you and your content, you can do what you like, but there is an argument to be made over mass archiving without consent, when the creators' intentions are not known or they may very well wish to be forgotten. See for example: publications.archivists.org.au/index.php/as...
Love the newest Budos Band album, really captures the sound of 1960s Turkish psyc but with big horns backing it up. youtu.be/0zD2r2rmwIs?...
A striking feature of Trump and his team is: they somehow imagine a world in which they are the only actors, only ones with power, and whether it's Tehran or Minneapolis are surprised when it turns out others do. There are many kinds of power and many nations with power.
somehow this is the exact guy you would figure to have lost old doctor who eps

We need more horror puzzle anime thirst traps in video games
My son and I watched Stop Making Sense a few years ago. He asked if I had any of their albums. This gave me the opportunity to recreate a classic Onion article.

Not giving anything away but you absolutely should. Picks up where the doujin leaves off and goes in some pretty unexpected directions

Sounds like people are going gaga for Haibane Renmei! Nowβs a great time to see what all the fun and whimsy is about!
Still thinking about haibane renmei. Idk what it did to me but it did something.
y'know i was thinking earlier though: i dont really talk about it on here at all since most of my friends have seen it, but for the record my all time #1 anime recommendation i would give to pretty much anyone would still have to be Haibane Renmei

tariffs happening for no reason and theyre making your life worse, secret police kidnapping people for no reason and making your life worse, firing thousands of government employees for no reason and making your life worse, going to war with iran for no reason and making your life worse
there was also a Stanford study that found that a surge in AI slop by lazy people actually created significantly more work for others who had to decipher and correct it
this "I'm being efficient" (but not really) vibes well with the American obsession with artifice and appearing productive

Ariel is fantastic, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing this.

A picture showing a bunch of albums on vinyl by the Japanese jazz-fusion band Casiopea. A lot of their stuff kind of sounds like video game music because they heavily influenced arcade and console composers of the 80s and 90s. Fun fact 1: one of the records in this picture is an American pressing with a new album title and cover art, while the rest are Japanese imports. Fun fact 2: all are early 1980s pressings except for the self-titled album (the race car LP) and Mint Jams. Those are represses from last year, featuring vinyl remastering by Bernie Grundman. Vinyl audiophiles know who that is. Anyways listen to more Casiopea.
This time last year I had zero Casiopea records. How much changes in a year.

A snap of the EMUSA website, the site that I spent the most time on then for downloading roms, with its vaguely Star Trek-alike fond for EMUSA, and a iist of the latest news, along with Top 10, 50 other rom sites.
Plasticman's Emulsation Zone website in the year 2000, with a quite sleek banner and clickable tabs.
The Edge Enu, with a square graphic of Mega Man presenting his arm cannon. The agreements about deleting roms you mistakenly download if ytou don't own the actual game are there above the 'Enter the Edge' hyperlink.
"Got Roms?"
A Wayback look at three of the main ROM websites I frequented in 2000, making careful decisions about what to download on the 4-6kbps internet connection I had access to.
And of course, we all followed through on that agreement to delete the ROMs we downloaded within 24 hours, right?
