ACRONYM (high-end tech clothing) dropped some new kicks today, and the gimmick is they have a swappable heel-plate that you can bolt on, based on the Bōsōzoku modding vibe:

Yet in 2020, Byland had to find out secondhand that the company had abandoned the technology and was on the verge of going bankrupt. While his two-implant system is still working, he doesn’t know how long that will be the case. “As long as nothing goes wrong, I’m fine,” he says. “But if something does go wrong with it, well, I’m screwed. Because there’s no way of getting it fixed.”

Ross Doerr, another Second Sight patient, doesn’t mince words: “It is fantastic technology and a lousy company,” he says. He received an implant in one eye in 2019 and remembers seeing the shining lights of Christmas trees that holiday season. He was thrilled to learn in early 2020 that he was eligible for software upgrades that could further improve his vision. Yet in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, he heard troubling rumors about the company and called his Second Sight vision-rehab therapist. “She said, ‘Well, funny you should call. We all just got laid off,’ ” he remembers. “She said, ‘By the way, you’re not getting your upgrades.’ ”

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
Most people I know who if I told them that story wouldn't remotely give a gently caress

youre in a campus quad walking along the pavement when all of the sudden you look down, and you see a delivery robot, travelling toward you. you reach down, you flip the robot over on its back. the robot lays on its back, its metal belly baking in the hot sun, spinning its wheels to turn itself over, but it cant, not without your help. but youre not helping. why is that?

that was the original idea walt had for epcot: the experimental prototype community of tomorrow. after he died the company decided they couldn't be bothered to try their hand at government so they made it the world's fair theme park it is today. walt disney's efforts to make it happen are part of why the reedy creek improvement district exists, which is why disney world exerts such a degree of control over its land.
