The film is written, directed, and co-stars Hitoshi Ozawa, a legendary Yakuza actor who is a villain in Yakuza 0, who got his fellow legends involved. This was his passion project inspired by one of his best friends, a trans woman, and he worked with the community for representative casting.

Just had an interesting conversation as to why some people on here don’t use alt-text in their images. 🤔 After their initial reply to my post about not using alt-text, that they don’t do it as it trains AI, they then said I was wasting their time. 🫤 #Accessibility

💀Their second reply to me after I asked for alt-text on their images and they said it trains AI:

Unfortunately the developers of bluesky have taken this position.
I did not.

Their final reply, with an image of a line chart, showing Pointless Questions along the x axis and Indigenous peoples time wasted along the Y, with an arrow pointing to You halfway up the line.

“You have the most powerful invention mankind has ever created in the palm of your hand. And rather than using it, you choose to waste my time? Please consult the chart.”

A intricately crafted incense storage container shaped like ship, made of bronze with a weathered patina. The container features a central lighthouse-like structure rising from its deck and is supported by Roman coins serving as decorative wheels, on is missing. The ship’s bow and stern are elevated and adorned with geometric carvings and porthole-like cutouts, enhancing its detailed, miniature design.

This is an entirely new phenomenon because before the vaccine, most women who survived measles were immune because they had it when they were young. But now, idiots who refuse to get vaccinated are giving birth to babies with measles. Two babies have died. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.

Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.
