Kids think anime has to be about getting isekai’d into a dragon harem or whatever. They don’t know that anime can be about cool things, like smoking and crime.

"We don't want to be Luddites --" brother, Luddites were opposed to bosses concentrating wealth by using technology to make inferior product with warehouses fulls of starving exploited child labor. You don't have to wear the team jersey but respect the game.

there is a reason librarians very intentionally don't record this information. this is that reason
Officials in Tennessee aren't just banning books, they're now demanding information on who checked out contested (largely LGBTQ+) books, including names, addresses, and "household composition."

A librarian who was given the directive has come forward asking for whistleblower protections.
Tennessee whistleblower says library board chair sought private data as part of state's book purge
A First Amendment expert told The Advocate that there are "huge" legal implications stemming from the situation.

Name your favorite martial arts film.

WARNING: Unfair prompt 😅
This could change in the blink of an eye...

(Not “the best”, not the flashiest, but easily the one I’ve seen the most and the one most directly responsible for getting name into martial arts movies)

The good news is that we don't need to read the report. Voters hate the party and we hate the leadership. The country is literally coming apart at the seams and we blame you. Entirely. Hide all you want, we know who's at fault. And we know who the consultants are. You're fucked. I promise.
BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

Dem Leaders Decide to Bury Damning Report on Why Trump Won in 2024
The Democratic National Committee has completed its long-awaited analysis on what went wrong in the 2024 campaign. But in a move that will attract intense criticism, it’s keeping the findings secret.

what struck me on the rewatch is how rushed the film is, how these amazing long shots and wide vistas are just hurried through. Every edit has the same length, whether it's a close up of characters talking or a shot of twenty miles of wrecked Star Destroyers strewn across a plateau.
The Force Awakens came out 10 years ago today. The reactions to the Star Wars that followed has soured a lot of people on the entire franchise. It seemed worth revisiting the movie for its 10th anniversary to see how it holds up separate from its two sequels.
