BTW this is not a new tactic. Bigots have done this for ages. I've had this happen at several of the libraries I've worked at. Not waves of books, but more than enough.

In terms of the female bald Centauri, some of those were skull caps, and others weren't; we let it be known that we wanted to support women going through chemo or other treatments who had lost their hair by casting them here, money that could also help pay for medical bills.

We finally have a broadcast date for Gundam GQuuuuuuX! April 8th weekly. Month was expected but a Tuesday rotation was not.. Kenshi Yonezu’s Plazma will also be the theme song for the show, at least to begin with ✨

Don't just listen to players. If given the option, they'll optimize the game out of their games, and the story out of their stories. It's our job to filter information and data and feedback into good work, and while we'll sometimes miss it's better than blindly following surveys.

Kinda wild that we're going from G-Witch airing at primetime on Sunday to GQX airing at midnight on a Tuesday.

As expected the culture war grifters are running with the rumour that Doctor Who is cancelled/Ncuti is leaving. A lot of "Too woke/black man killed a legacy". I love Ncuti's Doctor and having a social conscience is a big part of why I got into the show years ago. These dickheads know nothing.

Now, a secret about Dragon Ball. Despite the many adaptations of the Super Saiyan Goku transformation scene, a single frame from the manga has never been adapted. A simple, but powerful frame of Goku turning his head and closing his eyes in despair after Krillin's brutal death.

These are brown shirts, and this is Nazi behavior. We are not in a fight between right and left anymore. This is a fight between Americans and those who would bend the knee to a king. If you care about the soul of this country, we have to stand for each other.

Given all the times that radicals on the left have been jailed, spied on, suppressed, and flat out shot for wanting changes far less far-reaching and painful than what we're facing now, it's hard not to look at Trump and see a culmination of a system rather than a failure of it.

You shouldn't be remotely concerned about your legitimacy as a Gundam fan by how much you consume. But I remember how satisfied I felt when I could identify every head from the cover of Gundam vs Gundam over a decade and a half ago. It might be a fun metric for yourself to see how far you can get.

It's a damn shame Sanders is 83, because I don't think the Democrats could ever be horny enough for rats to possibly stop him from getting the nomination next time.

At the Gundam pop-up store today, a middle-aged guy came up to me and asked what Gundam is, and then asked if it was anything like Robotech.

There is no scenario where neoliberal Democrats control the Democratic Party and the party regains popularity to dominate electorally nationwide. Progressive populism. That’s the only path for the Democrats.

Today is two years. Still eats at me I was the one who had to sign to take Mom off life support because Dad couldn't. I don't think it was a wrong decision but it sure didn't feel good. Also feels bad to think I get to drift into my own old age with nobody in my life to be strong when I am weak.

Still bugs me when I think about the person who got upset at the concept of "emotional labor," like "OH SO IT'S A JOB TO CARE ABOUT YOUR FRIENDS NOW!?" Asshole, if you've never had to navigate your own depression and somebody else's at the same time there's nothing I can tell you to make you get it.

I had a woman who took all my kids’ books about pride off display and threw them in the book drop. Joke’s on her. Any time you throw something in the book drop or hide something, we have to scan it back in. That’s a circ, which means they’re more likely to order more copies.

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.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Current status: we're smuggling eggs in from Mexico now. So let's talk about WHY Mexico's egg industry has been stable- while US egg prices are through the roof! 1. Mexico puts people in jail for price-fixing. 2. Mexico lets farmers vaccinate their chickens against bird flu.

So you know how Costco is a company that is keeping its DEI culture because it's "actually" good for business? We should share and elevate companies that continue to value DEI policies. The Mars company is also one of those companies that will continue to support DEI. search.app/UCjJSo23gmo7...
