But that’s still based on random points in history. Their argument is basically ‘climate change started at this point, so that’s where the max sustainable population is’. Which makes absolutely no sense. Technologies were different, cultural attitudes were different, yadda yadda. It’s Malthusian arguments in a new (and less logical) wrapper.

That was a weird ass study, they calculated the number based solely on historical population numbers and not any actual metrics regarding planetary capability. I have my doubts how useful a calculation that actually is.

the Japanese branch of Crunchyroll’s net profits for the fiscal period ending in December 2025 were 453 million yen (about US$2.85 million), a drop of 63% from the previously reported 1.239 billion yen (about US$7.79 million) in 2024.

According to Crunchyroll, its Japan office “traditionally consists of content, programming, production and acquisition teams, which are non-revenue generating.”

Makes absolutely no sense. How is a non-revenue-generating branch experiencing a drop in profit?

22.4% of 5% base, so in actuality a 1% increase. While the title is technically accurate, it’s very misleading.
