Seven years and 7 months after its release, “Anpanman” charted again in January 2026, reaching #1 on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart & #1 on iTunes in 75 countries.
It was never released as a single.The charting was intentional, organized, driven entirely by ARMY.

Hey NM gang, last day for this—share a story, and maybe keep book bans away from our libraries.
Hey New Mexico Residents! Freedom to Read New Mexico is asking for people to help move legislation forward by sharing their story with the governor. Easy peasy at the link. They're at about 80 stories with a goal of 200. Let's bump that number!
Share Your Story with Governor Lujan Grisham to Protect the Freedom to Read in New Mexico.

The murder of VA ICU Nurse Alex Pretti has been officially ruled as a homicide.
Good because that’s exactly what it is. Now let’s do the same for Renee Good’s murder.

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.
Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.
The cruelty is endless.

@crunchyroll.com 's new translations which skip exclamations in the background or signs really detract from overall enjoyment. In 2026's You and I are Polar Opposites, it's really obvious by episode 3 that there is more depth and humor in the story but we just don't get to have it:(

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Amazon has cut a combined 28,000 jobs since October. Its CEO made $40M+ in 2024
UPS has announced 78,000 job cuts since last year. Its CEO made $24M.
HP announced up to 6,000 layoffs in November. Its CEO made $21M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

At the very least, Congress must disarm ICE, prohibit it from using racial or ethnic profiling, end arrest quotas, remove agents’ immunity from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits, and slash its funding. The Senate has the chance to rein in ICE this week.

So simply naming someone is doxxing, but taking photos and license plate numbers to create a database of the opposition for government stalking and harassment purposes is not?
Naming someone is not doxxing them, and moving them to another city to kill more is conspiracy against rights.
