It is clear that Russia does not want peace and therefore we need to make Ukraine as strong as possible in order to them to be ready to stand up for themselves in this very, very difficult time.

It could be a pivotal week for diplomacy.

"Unitary executive" is really "24 year olds in the West Wing tell everyone in the federal government with experience and knowledge what to do at their jobs."
thinking more about this: it is highly ironic that at the same time that it serves as a test case for the "unitary executive," this administration is all but being led by two subordinate officials with no immediate political accountability.

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

It's going to be strange to explain to the next generation that every year on the day after Thanksgiving Americans would pile into their cars, drive to the stores, and beat the ever loving Christ out of each other for $50 off an XBox.

Policing is defunding Chicago.
Chicago spent more than $212 million on overtime for members of the Chicago Police Department in the first 10 months of 2025 — 6% more than the amount Mayor Brandon Johnson plans to set aside for police overtime in all of 2026, records show. https://to.wttw.com/49QGPU6
Chicago Spent $212M on Police Overtime So Far This Year, 6% More Than New Limit Set for 2026
Chicago Police Supt. Larry Snelling told the Chicago City Council on Nov. 5 that he was confident that CPD would be able to spend no more than $200 million on overtime in 2026.

Telling the brass "we will absolutely scapegoat you if necessary" seems like a bad idea for an administration that desperately needs the military on its side but I'm sure they're carefully weighed the pros and cons

Dems release a video reminding troops of their responsibility to disobey illegal orders.

They’re called seditionists.

WaPo breaks the news that Hegseth said to kill survivors of a boat strike.

WH: “It wasn’t him! It was Admiral Bradley!”

This is why you disobey illegal orders

Keep the pressure on. No ai dubs for any language
No game No Life and Vinland Saga both had their English AI dubs removed, but Pet still has its English AI dub.

The Spanish AI dubs are unchanged.

So I’ve heard the English AI slop dubs of three anime shows were removed from Amazon! Fantastic! We love learning and actions to be better.

Now remove the Spanish AI dubs :3 And don’t forget the KDramas that have the AI dubs too. Thanks!

Would tag Amazon here but they have no foot here to tag sooo

This is very good. I like to remind people that headlines in the 80s would (regularly!) talk about people who drank lattes or ate sushi as exotic, self-indulgent yuppies with obscure tastes. Media constantly made fun of “haute cuisine” meals with tiny portions because fine dining was bad.
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

As the evergreen phrase goes "if they couldn't be bothered to acrually wrote the thing why should I bother to read it"

I don't care that a "Thing" exists, I care about what it is and how it came to be

The whole point of making is to put a bit of yourself into it

This get your bag mentality isn't
“People don’t have a choice if work makes them use A/I”

I refuse to use A/I. I voice that on any project I touch.

If you’re making “A/I dubs” of animes, you’re the same as a scab during a strike.

Just because it keeps YOU secure, doesn’t mean you’re absolved from the damage you’re causing others.

A not incognizant amount of people should be facing serious jail time over this but won't.
Some ppl have seemingly forgot that political news media spun up a "Biden secretly has parkinsons" story out of a doctor visiting the WH while the admin was working on Parkinsons policy or that Nuzzis big "Biden didnt remember me" piece was written when she was secretly working for RFK Jrs campaign
The actual "worse than watergate" scandal is how much news media collectively worked to ratfuck a Democratic presidency by largely inventing health/mental acuity concerns for hyperventilate about while largely ignoring the very real & worsening issues in front of their faces from Trump

Ohh are they using AI to dub stuff now? I was watching a movie with an English dub and everyone sounded like a tiktok robot voice and they were saying things in English but I couldn't understand it because the sentences made no sense.

Sayin' it now: if Amazon thinks that this is going to lead fans to say "this is the future," they have another thing comin'.

Our community was born in the old ways, and enough of us who were there from the pre-boom days are still around to the point that we can very feasibly return to them.
Amazon has had many opportunities to create dubbing projects filled with authentic storytelling, emotional connection, and believability. Instead they have chosen to create AI slop dubs of Banana Fish, Vinland Saga, and No Game No life. Many are calling these dubs "insulting" and "disrespectful".

When Howard Dean was the Democratic frontrunner for President, he was disqualified, by the media, for yelling "Yeah!" once.

At some point we just have to admit that mainstream media sources are biased.
Remember in 2000 when Al Gore was repeatedly misquoted as having said he invented the internet and that was seen the eyes of many as disqualifying him from office? Simpler times. Today, Trump makes up lies equivalent to "I invented the internet" 30 times a week and no one bats an eye. Good job media
