My favorite trope: anime characters watching anime.

Me, a squishy New Deal liberal, watching this shit

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

Taking note of who insists on referring to what happened in LA today as a "riot" and adjusting my opinion of them accordingly.

A lot of people are going to be up in arms about ICE's tactics here. But I ask you to consider the horrifying alternative: the guys you see with a truck outside Home Depot continuing to chop it up on a Saturday, and possibly even purchasing one of those Home Depot hot dogs at one point.

The tell is that they go to a workplace and arrest the workers for being undocumented (which is a civil offense, not a crime) and don't arrest their bosses for hiring them (which is a crime). A fearful work force is easier to control.

"Black applicants would, on average, need credit scores approximately 120 points higher than white applicants to receive the same approval rate, and about 30 points higher to receive the same interest rate."

To be fair it's easy to be vindicated when your commitment is "the border Gestapo are evil and should not exist" Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I am watching Kochikame every Friday, thank you very much It's Anime Powered By REMOW. this episode, I learned that the translator is probably from Australia or New Zealand

there was only ever one person i had in mind to deliver such a heartfelt speech for this scene.. so happy the cutest wrestler in the world Maki Itoh was down to do it!

this, plus more hulk dogs. longer hulk dogs scenes, characters constantly going "where are those hulk dogs??" hulk dogs on the posters, etc. etc.

It's unquestionably true that the 2003 Hulk movie would have been a ginormous hit if only Eric Bana had been willing to legally change his name to Bruce

Who is Vic? And why does he have a moron representing him on a bumptious defamation claim?

and here's me learning that there's a new john wick thing in theaters. i saw the name and the title graphic and just assumed it was a horror film

I had no idea thank you

like many of you, i got phone anxiety. mine is absolutely related to the physical discomfort of having to mash a handset up to my face. i never really thought about it. but i got a soft phone on my work laptop, and boy, the anxiety dissipates when I'm just using teams and talkin on a headset...

aaaand replacement handset ordered. i'm gonna try a pixel again, the last one I had was a 2 that absolutely ate shit after a year of use. i hear better things about them now. ORDERED A DAMN SPIGEN CASE TOO, thanks for the reco @mechazoidal.bsky.social. anyway goodbye $400 🙃

I finally figured it out: the new Fantastic Four looks like an Old Navy commercial

Happy #Threadnought day to those who celebrate

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.

As previously stated, these episodes are really good and it was neat to watch them in a theater a month before release. But I do wish they came packaged better, both in terms of the actual structure (the 3-episode arc stops SHORT) and presentation (no OP/ED, for example).

me when i drop my phone on the floor and the glass breaks because I foolishly assumed 'shatter resistant' meant I wouldn't need a screen protector and/or case
