Thanks for posting this. I hadn’t heard. I hope he knew how much pleasure he brought his listeners.

Making the concessions conditional is a great idea.

it’s nothing compared to that salmon from 66 years ago

I’m thinking of the other end of the equation: I don’t listen to a lot of the artists I liked twenty or thirty years ago. I’d be annoyed if I spent a bunch of cash on their albums only to have them be coasters now.

Agreed. I’m surprised a judge thought the IP address was enough evidence to convict him.

Exactly this. A music collection is expensive. Even more so if your tastes change over time.

That’s what I find so shocking. There was literally nothing incriminating other than the username.

The ars technica coverage does a better job of describing what happened.

As a liche, I find this very confusing. There are at least three possible wizards in this image, discounting the possibility of rabbit-folk magi (I wouldn’t, but there are some amongst our community whose views ossified around the Restoration of Tauraa).

Here’s a cat!

Woah woah woah. Writers are supposed to support their assertions now? But what about the vibes?!

This, in fact, is how new Amish are made.

The hairy frog (Trichobatrachus robustus), also known as the horror frog or Wolverine frog

This is the greatest opening line in a Wikipedia article that I have ever read.

Thanks Hammerjack! I would have missed it if you hadn’t posted.

I’d always pictured the fuchis as hulking tanks that somehow manage to be nimble. Not nearly as cute.

It seems on point for stuff by Masamune Shirow. It has the same vibe as Tank Police. This feels pretty similar, if less horny.

It’s been 30 years since I read the manga, but this hits most of the points I remember from the first comic or two. They even use that rainbow texture thing that was in the colour section of the comics.

I distinctly remember Kusanagi jacking into the minister and making him punch himself in the face.

From there, good is subjective. But it seems faithful.

yes

Did anyone expect anything different? He’s a child of the 70s and 80s who became a banker and high ranking technocrat. Neoliberalism is his jam.
