Project Kawaii, one of the early English-language vtuber agencies along with Tsunderia, Prism Project, and Phase Connect, is closing its doors at the end of November. As Tsunderia and Prism Project already have. As with Prism, the company is releasing the virtual models and streaming and social media accounts to the individual talents, who are planning to continue on independently. Speaking of vtubers, my pre-order of the Murasaki Shion Pop Up Parade figure from Amazon Japan (or rather, their marketplace) got cancelled, and now there aren't any. But it's still available to pre-order from Amazon US, and the shipping to Australia is dirt cheap (these things don't weigh very much), so I just put the order in again. Amane Kanata is already shipping in Japan, so I ordered her and the Pop Up Parade Frieren figure, who can hide among all the Hololive girls. (I'm not collecting Figmas or Nendoroids or the big expensive scale models, just Pop Up Parade. Though I did grab the Banpresto figure of Yozora Mel, since there won't be any more of those.)

Evening and morning to Pixy and all the other AoSHQ stations across the Solar system and beyond! (I'd originally mistyped that as "statoins." Perhaps a variant on "statins" for blood pressure?)
Anyway! 'Tis Wednesday, and as of noon today we will be halfway along the winding dusty trail to the weekend. I'm up with coffee and preparing to work out. Howz about yoo? Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at October 09, 2024 04:05 AM (omVj0) 4

Pixy: Your cancelled order reminded me to go back and look at previous tech threads for info regarding that order the Calliope Mori case where Hyte's site crashed right after you put the order in.
I'm glad they got back to you and confirmed the order went through. May everything else on that go smoothly. Posted by: Grumpy and Recalcitrant at October 09, 2024 04:22 AM (O7YUW) 11

Dr. Phil @DrPhil Sue flagged down our crew during our time in North Carolina this weekend. She had no power, no food, no water, and no ability to travel. She had just undergone heart surgery two weeks ago. Thanks to our friends @elonmusk , @Starlink , @MichaelsStores , and @SamaritansPurse , we were able to get Sue the help she needed.

Good morning! I have an app that rounds up purchases made with a certain card to the nearest whole dollar and squirrels that into a standalone account. Looked at it last weekend and realized I could pay for a new set of irons. And voila! (for those who speak French) a new set of G430s will be here shortly.

I pray for the people in Pinelass county who live in trailer parks. The county has numerous trailer parks with mobile homes dating back to the 60's. Many are elderly people living in them with no place to go.

Morning, 'rons and 'ronettes. Another 4am day here at Stately Poppins Manor. Fortunately, that means my day ends at 12.30 and I can take a nice nap before packing for my trip to the White Mountains this weekend.
Real AI, not this modern crap. I don't have time to link it right now, but someone on YouTube did a Gilligan's Island trailer in the manner of a horror movie (I'm sure you can find it if you want). It wasn't so much the content that amazed me as the actual technology itself. I would dearly love to know how to create something like that - or know someone who does it - in order to get a trailer for my Theda Bara book. Anyway, back to work. See you all on the Morning Report. Posted by: Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Piercing (aka Eloquent Depression) at October 09, 2024 05:55 AM (Q0kLU) 36

Thanks so much. He a good and very smart young man. I can't fault him. He is looking and he's also doing a part time job writing stuff, but many of the jobs in research come through a large university which he did not attend , and I expect the favor their own graduates first and probably DEI.

>>Wikipedia is saying that complaining about pedophilia is anti-alphabet people. Oh really? Whatever do they mean by that?
It means they groom kids for the LGBTQ lifestyle (get them while they're vulnerable, still forming their sexual identity) and it hurts their feelings when you (correctly) label it "pedophilia." But you knew that, heh. . . Posted by: Lizzy at October 09, 2024 05:58 AM (scDBq) 39
>>Except it might have been a dog. Or a coyote. Wild critters tend to stay away from humans.
Dave Baron's "The Beast in the Garden" says otherwise (chronicles how mountain lions changed behavior after hunting bans enacted, etc.), but yes, it's hard to tell what that animal is that so casually strolled by her was. Hope it was a dog! Posted by: Lizzy at October 09, 2024 06:03 AM (scDBq) 40

Of course a troon is going to call rape gangs a "moral panic". Raping children is something men cosplaying as women aspire to. He genuinely believes those Pakistani perverts did nothing wrong.
Many conservatives are baffled by "Queers for Palestine", but it's really quite simple; the perverts all want in on that sweet kiddy-diddling action and are too stupid to understand that you have to be an official Asshole for Allah for perversion to be considered halal.
