Between Orb, Solo Leveling & Medalist. Saturdays have been on fire lately!! I can barely keep up with all this peak that’s airing at the same time.. can’t imagine if Apothecary Diaries was still airing on Saturdays too 🤣🤣 What a great time for anime.

This video is fantastic, and I especially appreciate him calling out the NYT for their ignorant, clickbait, "just asking questions" editorial on Canada. He's real one for that, and it underlines just how right he is with this video's thesis: algorithms can encourage a cycle of the worst behavior.

When right-wing “free speech” demonstrators attempted to march in Boston the week after Charlottesville, thousands of us counterprotestors were there to shut them down. Here’s hoping the town shows up to kick the shit out of these bozos once again.

#Andor has so many great moments, but this is where it peaked for me. The writing. The impassioned delivery. The slow build of a stirring score. All of it beautifully coalesces here. Andor isn't just the best of #StarWars. It's great (and relevant) art, period. Bring on season 2.

I haven’t put on this DVD set in probably a decade, but…I mean, it’s Saturday morning, so why not?

likely needless to say, but: i loved MICKEY 17. it's beautiful, funny, strange, and really touching — i don't know how else to put it, but: it may be an american blockbuster, but at the same time, it doesn't feel any less korean.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this quote from Ursula K. LeGuin. Arguments are often made about the moral utility of fantasy and genre. And yet, there many for whom it may be their only window to a better world… where it can speak to our understanding in an almost primal way.

fk Karen Bass for just firing LA’s fire chief because they refused to be the scapegoat and take blame for her negligence. she underfund the fire department in favor of the LAPD (do research on the city controller mentioning this, it’s true). we need a new mayor yesterday.

The assumption about “DEI hiring” is that diverse hires are less qualified. The complete opposite is true. If left to their guts, bosses will tend to just hire from their own social circle. Their buddies. Their buddies’ buddies. Etc.

Listen to Linda. Note every win. Yes, even small ones. Did you pay that bill? Did you feed yourself? Did you make sure you got enough sleep? If you took care of yourself & other people as well as you could, please pat yourself on the back. Count every win, the resistance ones & the everyday ones 💚👊🏻

Hey: If you made it through the week, and you tried to do some things to help other people — large or small — where you could, and you need to hear it, I’m here to tell you thank you. Get some rest. Figure out today, then figure out tomorrow.

Halfway through season 2 of The Diplomat… This show has the absolute BEST end of episode cliffhangers! Absolute genius. ❤️

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

Princess Arete (10/10) In a strange way, this feels like the movie Goro Miyazaki was trying to make with Earthsea. Only instead of bitterness over your story being denied, it's about finding a purpose when your story seems written already.

Apothecary Diaries 31/ This was nice to see adapted. Wasn't as fun reading this in a black and white manga. XD

If you want to know where the real change-work, the most committed teaching, and the most effective student-success initiatives are happening, and where those all receive the best institutional commitment and support, it's at our community colleges.

If someone hasn’t told you this recently, I’m proud of you. It takes a lot to find the fortitude to keep going. The fact that you’re still here is a testament to joy itself and I’m so glad we exist at the same time so I can be kind to you.

Oh man, wait until folks find out about how libraries often have to buy ebooks at a higher cost than regular consumers and that they usually come with a set number of check-outs and/or number of years built into them! (vs print books where a vendor can usually get them at a discount)

Apothecary Diaries is already in my top 10 anime of all time & I truly believe that after S2 it will probably move into my number 3 spot after One Piece & Mob Psycho 100. I just love this show so much. Absolute peak. Maomao the goat #kusuriyanohitorigoto #ApothecaryDiaries

I know democracy being on fire is making it easy to forget about the actual fires, especially for those far from the West Coast, but a measure of how bad it was that just hit me today: ALL hiking trails in Altadena, Pasadena, and Sierra Madre are closed, likely until at least 2027-2028.

it’s always a good time to watch “the good fight” (paramount+, 2017-2020), the only show that had a biting satirical pulse on the insanity we all felt in the trump 1.0 era. moments like the post i’m quoting are also a common throughline

In summation, a qualified Black man got fired and will be replaced with a white man who doesn’t meet the qualifications for the position.

100% and I need everyone to understand right now that there is only one solution: people need to start getting their asses kicked in public again

btw, i will tell you this - i have been talking to people all day, and the media is missing, whether intentionally or not, how absolutely, volcanically angry the people who have been fired are, not because they lost their jobs, but because their jobs matter, to us

Thanks to a loud public outcry and a relentless media campaign from outdoors influencers the Trump administration is reversing its plan to eliminate thousands of national parks jobs. Amazing work everyone. Keep speaking up, it matters!

Imagine what we could do with the US federal budget if we weren’t just giving it away to five dipshit billionaires for no reason. Cool countries make cool shit and have fucking healthcare.
