it's once again time to think about that official untamed scenario book illustration of guanyin temple in which the two people who still loved JGY (lan xichen and jin ling) are literally and figuratively on their knees

ok it's actually nuts how we as a culture talk about pelvic floor dysfunction primarily as like, an impediment to having heterosexual P-in-V sex. like almost all the pelvic PTs ive seen online assume that this is the #1 reason someone would want to seek treatment for vaginismus instead of like idk. not being able to wear a tampon or peeing when you sneeze too hard. one of the top reviews for this massager is something to the effect of "i finally look forward to sex with my boyfriend :)" what is going ONNNNNNN

Watch beloved Disney and Star Wars characters explain how the company offers clients the ability to use Disney data and target particular audiences.

The videos show that Disney and its ever-expanding portfolio of properties, which includes ABC, Hulu, ESPN, National Geographic, and FX, sees itself as a serious player in the world of ad tech. It's an industry that has been traditionally dominated by Facebook and Google, but Amazon recently showed it's become an ad giant as well. Some of the videos, created for an internal audience of sales employees at Disney, explain all of this through the words of some of the company’s most popular franchises, including The Incredibles, Star Wars, and more.

[...]

Although Disney’s move into ad tech is not brand new—a Disney spokesperson pointed to a few Disney blog posts dating over the last several years when asked for comment—the videos provide descriptions of Disney’s ad business that the public doesn’t ordinarily get to see. That, and their release come at a time when other companies which are traditionally known for creating their own content or for acquiring intellectual property are also exploring how to get into the world of ads.

Another Disney video, which is publicly accessible and from over two years ago, hints at the sort of data Disney has explored using. The video uses a Star Wars theme and says that Disney had plans to use credit card data and “survey-based pharma data.” The video starts with the iconic Star Wars scrolling text, and calls itself “Star Wars Episode X: The Rise of Audience Segments.”

In that video, Dana McGraw, senior vice president, audience modeling and data science at Disney, says that Disney can append third-party data to its own Disney data. “For example, we license data to provide retail purchase information and psychographics about Disney visitors.”

She then adds that “we also work with geolocation data vendors.”

Just got a "Protest Preparedness Advisory" in my work email inbox with an attachment: "Civil Unrest Tips Sheet" advising medical facilities to have someone familiar with social media monitoring Reddit and Twitter for updates

What's the German compound word for "that feeling you get when the knowledge that you're living in an inescapable dystopia smacks you full-on in the face"

It's also achingly obvious how much of this is a reaction to the COVID anti-vax protests: "If staff may be targeted for their affiliation with healthcare, consider changing clothing before leaving the facility."

Also gotta love the heavy use of passive voice to avoid admitting that cops will be out here pepper spraying and attacking peaceful protesters: "...consider rapid emergency care services ... for injuries related to chemical/pepper spray exposure..."
