If you want to see an awesome team character battle game check out Gunslinger Stratos for the arcade.

There is a investors board shakeup and Iger is the number one target. It doesn't matter what happens, the loser would be Disney if it didn't settle quickly.

From my source notes

Propaganda: Disney

There is a push to remove the power Bob Iger has had over Disney. This article also mentions that most of the big choices were actually made by Steve Jobs, not Iger.

There is a hard push by Disney to keep its power the way it is. They have websites and a social media blast to support it. This website represents it all

Disney has dropped and asked to settle any lawsuit between themselves and Florida or Governor DeSantis. The article calls it a Spat.

That's the trick, it's not racist. The people who want to build skyscrapers because their paycheck depends on it are saying it is.

As for Melbourne and Sydney, I know the feeling. It's why I don't mention going to highschool in Yakima to Seattle folk.

I think we've had this conversation. You live in a town just south of Bremerton. I say, and others agree, that the experience you want from Seattle can be found at the Bremerton ferry area for far cheaper. The geek arcades convince me this is true. Look up Tick Tock arcade if you want a higher end experience.

Places like Portland are all about fitting into stereotypes. You can't be anything else except what you have been stereotyped as. My sister was told she had to be trans for liking cars.

I remember a waitress in Portland who acted really over the top black. When I asked her why? Especially since the actual black population of the area didn't act that way, she said it almost felt required. That's a weird thing when you're a super small minority, you compensate by acting the most stereotypical you can.

Also, was this Tacompton?

Reminds me of the scene from the movie Contact where a priest and a scientist have sex, talk about faith, and then she throws a rosary at him to prove she has faith ... to the guy she slept with outside of marriage...

There's also pictures of Christ, random drawings, and Christian i.agery being blocked for sexual and violent imagery.

Reminds me of an article about fighting the "College is a Scam" mindscape. Written by academics who don't want to face their reality.

It's not the black neighborhoods wanting this. I have a friend that runs an architecture firm, and is mostly black owned and run. He knows these neighborhoods really well because politicians and rich people keep wanting to build skyscrapers in the bloody area. I've arranged meetings for us to meet when the Orlando Magic are playing and there's a big party near Lake Eola to watch people walk through the area. We will have students and architects all crying over the terrible racist division.

I get invited to help design stuff because is am a historian/anthropologist and then a designer. Every time I come up with answers, I'm told the only answer is big parks, bulldozing houses, and rich people pretending to be ethnic. They want to destroy one of the oldest black highschools in the state. Wesley Snipes graduated from there. I helped redesign their museum.

It is purely rich people crying racism as they destroy black neighborhoods. Almost every time you read about it, that's what's actually happening.

There's regular roads under the freeways. It's easy to walk through.

I know what's happening here, because we have it in Orlando. The I-4, not the I5 back in Seattle, cuts the skyscraper part of the city away from a residential area. That area is mostly black, and has been that way for generations. People who want more skyscrapers want to bulldoze the residential area, and are looking for a political opinion that sounds plausible. They say the freeway separates whites from blacks, and that we need to reconnect the two areas.

There are office buildings, and major companies already in the area, including the part of EA that makes Madden. Heck, the Orlando Magic play on the black side of town. The local football club has their stadium on this side.

Black people go into the urban part to party or hang out, and then head home. There is no disconnect by any standard use of observation. I am still told quite often that we need to reconnect the divide, and every single person involved wants to build a giant building. It's purely architects looking for a job.

It's amazing to watch as people yell at those they can't control.

I lived in Middleton ID when it was the area people ran to get away from the cops. I buried my cat in an open field that is now covered by suburbia.

The entire Northwest just slowly decayed and it's hard to describe the feeling of living there. Everything I loved was destroyed, and although I still have stuff I love, I'm scared to do it because of the other problems.

Central Florida is growing in waves. A friend in Oviedo used to live with hicks and sticks, and is now living in a big upper middle class neighborhood. He hasn't moved. I have bears near my house, the cowardly kind not the grizzlies, and a lot of cockroaches. I have been told directly that in the next five years it will be like Oviedo.

Phoenix is insane. I have friends that remember Surprise being far away from the valley. I lived when surprise was expected to join it any year now. Now the valley goes beyond Surprise.

Have all the tirades

AI: Propaganda: Justine Bateman

During the Hollywood strike one woman claims to be a computer scientist and actress. She thinks Hollywood needs to outlaw AI or actors will be gone soon. So she supports the strike. She dislikes the term content

https://archive.ph/cWQg9

Here's another anti content.

https://archive.ph/knW9D

This is her saying actors will have their faces rented for cheap to movies.

https://archive.ph/VXw1H

This is her saying Hollywood demands AI take over.

https://archive.ph/JIyuD

Here's another horror filled anti AI thread. These are going around my lefty friends a lot. Even a few lawyers.

A real complaint by the strikers in Hollywood last year was that AI could make old shows with all of the characters. I don't think they understood how much of a selling point that was.

It's all acting. Pretending to hate him to build up numbers is sort of the game.

They were adapted by the Arabs and really look nothing alike anymore. Check out the water engineering systems that went back and forth between India and south east Asia. They had some really cool ideas.

I'm not denying you that. I'm saying the equipment and programs needed is about $10,000, and the time it takes to create, render, and edit takes about 6 months. I'm sure the next project will take two, but that initial process always takes longer than expected.

And then Sora is shown off to Hollywood.

I think a good movie would cost about $10,000 to make and 6 months to finish. It can be made by a single person.
