I do genuinely believe all the people involved in this from the Kato Institute to Fox pundits who demonstrably knowingly lied should be tried for crimes against humanity btw

When A Wizard of Earthsea was first translated into Japanese, it was renamed "Record of Ged War", which is weird not only because Ged does not fight a war and the series is ideologically anti-war, but because "Earthsea" seems like it'd just sound awesome to a Japanese reader

Started reading the Bible in Japanese for some medieval language inspiration, but felt it was weirdly easy to read. Realized it was a new translation so went and found a Meiji era translation, started reading and it was nigh incomprehensible, exactly what I was looking for

He is actually correct here, suspiciously so. My guesses: 1) he is just defending Trump 2) like with Israel he sees the writing on the wall for this issue's popularity and is staking out a position before 2028

It’s worse than this. Having been in the room with many of them (long ago, before I knew they were psychopaths), the tycoons who are left running the industry have an active contempt for ordinary people, including their own workers. They actively want to oppress, control and punish them.

Lovely Dylan cover from 1966, which gives a little insight into the kind of career Elvis might have had if he'd been allowed to keep pace with the rest of the music world, rather than recording terrible shit that he hated for soundtracks to bad movies.

the thing about people complaining about woke HR trainings is that it seems like they mean Robin DiAngelo-style racism workshops, which frankly just weren’t common enough to have meaningfully impacted public opinion

I've been really depressed finding out this is a growing problem in the fantranslation community. It'd be one thing if they were at least up front about it so we know it's a lazy hackjob for people who don't mind slop, but they clearly still want the clout and are lying about it.

Been playing some indie JRPGs as research for my game, found a neat NES style one called Dragon Fantasy.

Yet another op-ed in prestige media pretending racism, sexism and transphobia among Republicans is a response to Democratic overreach www.nytimes.com/2026/08/14/o...
Republicans Are About to Repeat the Democrats’ Biggest Mistake
Over the years, Republicans have portrayed Democrats as beholden to bespoke identities (they/them), obsessed with an alleged genocide (Gaza) and in thrall to anti-American revisionism (see the efforts to recenter our national narrative on slavery).

We are critics of diversity, equity and inclusion programs who largely agree with that characterization. We believe the Republicans’ war on woke has made America a fairer, safer place by checking some of the worst excesses of modern progressivism, from antiwhite discrimination in corporate America to biological men competing in women’s sports.

But we are also concerned that this backlash is morphing into something darker, dumber and ultimately self-defeating. Today the right has begun to resemble its depiction of the left: There are invented identities like heritage American, claims of white genocide in South Africa and arguments from right-wing influencers that the Allies weren’t the good guys in World War II.

What changed, in other words, were the facts on the ground. The Republican Party responded organically to a shift in public opinion, which was itself a response to a more assertive form of transgender activism — one whose definition of inclusion seemed to compromise basic notions of fairness. Once regarded as a political albatross, bathroom bills are now on the books in 21 states.

A similar dynamic drove the right’s dwindling tolerance for affirmative action and D.E.I.

That Saber were willing to conceal this much AI generated content represents such an astonishing breach of trust with the customer, especially after only disclosing it when forced to. How are people to trust them not to act this deceptively with other titles?
