If I told you that today, October 6th in the year or our lord 2026, that the English sub of a Suikoden anime premiered, you'd probably think, "Oh, they did an anime adaptation of The Water Margin!" Well guess what. You'd be wrong. youtu.be/OtvpeOF_kHs

facies pikachus mirati, "the face of a surprised Pikachu" I'm taking Pikachu's name as a 4th declension neuter (Pikachu, Pikachus) because that's where you get a -u in the nominative.

The Soviets and the SWANA nations alike used "Zionist sympathies" as excuses to shut down Jewish communal spaces, charge Jews with crimes against the State, and ultimately expel them.

it only comes out during the day, but can only be seen in mirrors. It is drawn to holy places and holy objects, profaning them with its mere presence. It forces blood into you, corrupting your body with terrifying, unholy vitality

Discord, why. I'm just glad I had a good solid education (Lord of the Rings as bedtime stories), because thankfully I know not to mess around with orbs from sinister sources, especially ones that come attached to vague promises of success.
A Discord pop-up, displaying an odd, vaguely round symbol that I suppose from context is an "Orb", even though it's not spherical and has a four-pointed concave star on the surface, in addition to other hard-to-interpret geographical features.

In bold, it reads "New look, new challenges", and then below: "Now your Orbs are easier to track and easier to earn." And finally there's a button labeled "See Challenges".

No further explanation is provided.

Going to be real clear about this one: I am someone who has loudly said something like the first for years, while *also* now saying "LLMs may not living beings but you should treat them with respect anyway because otherwise you'll socialise yourself to be an asshole." I'm consistent on this point.

I think the problem is that for whatever reason, society/the media/whoever have correctly determined we need a way to reintegrate millions of people into society and from that incorrectly determined the way to do so is for the people who were wronged to apologize to the people who wronged them.

Having heard the same voice actors do both dubbed and non-dubbed roles, it's very clear they're being directed to act that way, and I've never understood why (given that I personally find it grating and a major reason I prefer subs).

I don’t think I’m ever going to get the appeal of pivoting to video for podcasts. I’ve been listening to podcasts for 20 years, and never once have I thought, my God, I need to SEE these people! I’m on a walk or doing the dishes, I don’t need video.

We would all have better conversations about Zionism if we viewed it as a nationalism like all others, akin to diaspora Serbian nationalism from Canadian Serbs. Not a civil rights or social justice cause, but also not a way Jewish people are abnormal or ontologically evil.

It's true that there's not much structural antisemitism in North America anymore but you know I'm not sure if it matters that the guys coming through the synagogue door with an assault rifle are in line with a structural system of oppression.

🎃
A 7 panel comic by the artist. First panel: The artist is running from a distance towards a group of people playing basketball in the park. The artist is holding a pumpkin above their head and screaming "AAAAAAAAA". Second panel: The artist has leapt up and is in position to slam dunk the pumpkin into the basketball hoop. Panel three: the pumpkin splatters violently against the backboard of the basketball hoop, sending orange pumpkin goop everywhere. Panel four: the players stand staring, covered in pumpkin goop and shocked. Panel five: the artist stares at them wide-eyed, also covered in the goop and says "it's October FIRST". Their hand reaches towards their face. Panel six: the artist rips off their own face like a rubber mask to reveal a skeleton beneath. Panel 7: the group of players stand shocked and horrified, watching as the skeleton falls to the ground in a pile of bones, the sound effects says "CLATTER".

No, SungWon is absolutely correct here. The insistence on sticking with the Japanese title when there is already a perfectly acceptable English one is utterly asinine. Nobody does this in Japanese literature, or film, or any other art form. It's just the anime nerds who insist on being obtuse.

An interesting demo of the bait and switch is seen in responses to James Talarico, where he opposed trans minors playing sports, plus trans minor medical procedures, plus denied the reality of nonbinary & intersex folks, and the responses were "what's the big deal? he was just talking about sports".

The Rs are doing a full-spectrum assault on the existence of anyone not cis and straight, and saying it is about "boys playing girls sports". And every D who looks at that and goes "yeah, I oppose boys in girls sports" is endorsing the effort. Because they're affirming "sports" is all the Rs did.

A screenshot of a tweet by ZhaoYunSpitoon replying to @CadetMisty, featuring a photo of two people cosplaying as Star Trek characters seated at a table with a 3D chess set. The person on the left, styled as Spock with a black bowl cut and pointed ears, is mid-motion pulling a black long-sleeved shirt over their head, revealing a black crop top and leggings, with black boots resting on the floor nearby. On the right, a person in a yellow Starfleet uniform shirt and black pants sits casually with crossed legs, smiling and holding a small object to their chin while looking at the other person.
