    they're still better than blue, other blue, and some other blue

    also these aren't even ijbm's colors

    i think you'll find that blue is in fact a good color
    it's a workable color but things should have different colors differentiating different features, which this theme (poppy) does better in my opinion
  • it is -11 outside, which expalins why it's so cold in here

    I'd almost forgotten how much better I liked this color scheme

    There are a few cosmetic issues with borders and such, though...maybe I'll tweak it and send Lee a copy of the updated CSS
  • Also, I find it funny how where nerd culture in America seems to be anywhere from grudgingly tolerant to hysterically opposition towards the whole furry thing, a good chunk of European comics revolve around funny animal characters doing not-so-humorous things and nobody really seems to care, to the point that it even seeps into mainstream pop culture. I guess it has to do with the evolution of the form and the nature of the American/Anglophone Internet, among other things.


    And to be honest I'm a bit jelly: I write characters how they see them, and some of those characters happen to be cat folk and elephant shrews in fezzes, and I'd rather not be brushed off as not serious or purely pandering to fetishes solely for that fact.
    i am not a huge comics reader but i just found out about Bryan Talbot's grandville series and i really wanna read it. Talbot generally owns and i found out about it in an article which seemed generally oblivious to any 'furry' view of it. for Talbot it's just a shorthand for externally conveying what a character is like on the inside (he gave the great example of a snooty French waiter being a cod) and there's i guess more of a tradition of this in Europe what with 19th century cartoonists basically using anthropomorphized animals for the same effect and also tenniels illustrations of Alice in wonderland (which got a shoutout in the article and which Talbot is drawing from)

    i think perhaps it helps that these are physically published graphic novels rather than the internet; i blame the Internet's vast and incredibly creative aptitude for sexualizing absolutely everything

    anyway you should read Talbot's Alice in Sunderland which owns

    Days and Y&R are still running, and I get the feeling that's because Sony refuses to cancel them. :lol:

    And unlike TeleNext Media (the entity that vanished once CBS canned GL and ATWT) and the ABC network itself (who produced all of ABC's soaps, including AMC and OLTL), Sony is an outside producer and one of the only ones that could be considered a heavyweight. They're an important programming supplier for all the major networks, aside from their in-house/co-owned studios (ABC Studios - which of course used to be Touchstone Television and is a separate thing from the in-house studio I was talking about - along with Fox's 20th Century Fox Television, NBC's Universal Television, and CBS Television Studios, the former Paramount Television)
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I'm ok with these colors.

    The best old-timey soap opera is All My Children, natch
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    Yeah, it seems like SPT has things going just about everywhere, whereas the captive TV studios typically stick to their own networks these days with ona few exceptions (Modern Family is one I can think of right off). 

    The closest thing to its own TV network that Sony has in the US is Crackle, and that probably doesn't count because it's Internet-only.

    I thought AMC had the prettiest theme song when I was little. Almost as nice as that middle part of the Days theme they hardly ever play anymore.

    TCF TV is still pretty big; though they of course crank out lots of shows for Fox, they do several for other networks too.

    Warner Bros. Television would count as a producer with an associated network if WB owned The CW outright (and if TBS and TNT counted), but WB, like Sony, is considered an "independent" studio that sells everywhere.
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    Is The CW even doing much these days? I haven't heard much buzz about them in a while.
  • DC Comics shows; they're trying to set up a universe around Arrow and The Flash. Otherwise nothing of note, aside from Supernatural shambling on to please Tumblrites

    Ah, I see. I never really got the appeal of Supernatural aside from the leads being ZOMG SO HOTT. And that was, like, years ago.

    I remember Supernatural being pretty good for what it was a few years ago.

    I've heard that it's jumped the shark since then, though, which makes the sudden Tumblr fandom that's formed around it kinda perverse.

    So, MapFight.

    It is bugging me.

    Someone must have put in Japan as being ten times its actual size, because there is no way that Japan is as big as Germany and a little smaller than Montana.

    No, Japan is supposed to be england-size.  Tiny.

    Japan is not supposed to be over half the size of Texas, dang it.  Texas is huge.

    Dang it, now they'll be telling me that Greenland isn't bigger than Africa.

    it has; if its tumblr fandom seems sudden it's more that tumblr itself had a sudden surge in popularity

    google maps uses the mercator because it's the only projection that does the two following things right:
    1. north is up
    2. angles on the globe are angles on the map
    these are important if you're google maps and thus mostly work on a local level where you want to see the streets and you want a street map to look like a local street map would, with north being up and more importantly with an off-north grid looking like a proper grid instead of a weird skewed grid that a non-conformal projection would get you.

    in fact, if you had to dump a requirement, i'd dump #1 instead of #2 and then just use a projection that has the most size distortion in places where there's no land.  like the quincunxial, that one's a nice mindfuck if you're unaware of elliptic curves
  • Sup bitches, witches, Haters, and trolls.
    and as far as social things go, the answer to that isn't to use a damn equal-area projection, and especially not an equal-area projection that ends up having the least distortion basically where europe is (*coughpeterscough* sorry i've been coming down with a cold the last couple days) because you probably don't care about the social welfare of patches of dirt, you care about the social welfare of people, and taiwan has as many people as australia already, use a dang cartogram

    imageThis is what I grew up with.

    But really, Greenland is like, seven percent of Africa's size.

    I know I've done this before, but it still blows my mind.
