Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

People think I’m joking but turkeys run the streets like gangsters. Last year, they broke a mailman’s hip!

I loved this book. The episodic romps of early 00s anime meet the vaporwave-fueled world of the console wars in this wonderful celebration of video games, Toonami, and being true to yourself. Lan and Joe have always been a killer team but this book gives them the platform they’ve always deserved.

I was playing through the GBA Castlevania collection when I was writing this part in BEAT EVERY 1-UP (though I'm still going through Circle of the Moon) where Sidra and Helia try to sneak into Maison Macabre.

The amount of work that I've put into this COBRA-LA series pales in comparison to the work these mad geniuses put into GI JOE: THE MOVIE 40 years ago. So, that's how I know they were beyond exhausted.
Loved this chat with Larry Houston.

Larry Houston Brought Anime to America With 'G.I. Joe: The Movie"
The storyboard director refused to let business-minded execs wrest control of the 'G.I. Joe: The Movie': "We were storytellers."

The full map to the original Castlevania. This is a brilliant map. Despite seeing a map in between stages, you don't really think about how it all connects, but the flow lines up almost perfectly making one cohesive castle.

One of my best friends has this theory that the two biggest choices someone can make that will determine 95% of their personality:
Their favorite ninja turtle
Their favorite Sailor Scout
And both are formed at pivotal moments in your adolescence.

While I think it’s a good sign that we can still successfully pressure companies into being slightly less evil I don’t think this move is enough to save the industry as a whole, the public is growing ever warier of surveillance-based services
