went to pick up some shirts for an event this weekend, came back out to my car to see an old lady trying the passenger side door and without thinking went into pet scolding mode. "you know you're not supposed to be in there. get outta there." from the look i got this was more insulting than shouting

I made a free zine dedicated to the best place to watch pro wrestling, Korakuen Hall in Tokyo. It's 64 pages of photos I've taken from 2019-2023, & one page with a match guide. In between that first run and the last, I got serious about photos. I hope you dig it

guns are probably a bad example as a general category here, actually, because some are incredibly accurate and some are incredibly Intentionally Inaccurate while preserving the feel/vibe because they don't want to pay the gun companies a licensing fee. point stands for bigger miltech (missiles, etc)

for instance: in the last 5-6 years, call of duty's guns have gotten incredibly high-fidelity and accurate, especially w/r/t military models and weapons civilians don't have ready access to. the reason for that is probably the intuitive one: the institution with those weapons gave them direct access

and the "what you CAN'T say" is never like, "invading iraq is bad," it's "oh we showed you how badass this helicopter is, and we'll let you use some for your movie, but this, this, and this? those can't be in the movie, they're super duper secret." now the creatives are in a special, elevated clique

the way this usually works in hollywood is that the military brings in all the creatives -- there, actors directors and producers, here narrative, gameplay, and art leads -- shows them a bunch of cool shit, gives them access to a bunch of cool shit, wows them, then says "here's what you CAN'T say"

"a bunch of colonels in a pentagon task group have input into and veto power over elements of the yearly call of duty campaign" is a very flip and reductive way to discuss the intertwinement of military "social ops" and coordination with cultural industries, and also is likely more true than not

love tetsuya naito. understand why new japan wants the belt on him. mox tried as hard as he could and that was the result. naito locked up trying to hit destino and mox had to reset him and guide him to the finish. shades of what ospreay had to do to get him through the G1 last year.
