NEW VIDEO!

With the massive popularity of the Sakura Wars series, it was only a matter of time before it made its way to the big screen. The movie is also a surprisingly significant addition to the series canon!

... But is it any good?

More history from this Nazi adulated by the Trump team. These are explicit, proud Nazis who scream and cry and call every referee they can find when you quote their Nazism back to them.

Multiple tweets from Nazi Jack Posobiec in 2016 making "jokes" involving the Nazi code "1488."

You would not believe how many stories like this have been popping up over the last ~5 years

Not just full games cancelled—entire characters and plot lines removed or changed, leaving less time for making the *rest of the game better*, to try avoiding a small and malicious contingent of voices.

It cannot be stressed enough that the majority of right wingers that engage in culture war nonsense are people who have PsyOp'd themselves into seeing "pattern recognition" everywhere in the same way that biblical numerologists have a heart attack every time they see the number 666 somewhere.

My dad drove us in a loaner Tesla this morning where Grok AI:
Turned itself on
Would not turn off
Instructed how to tell it to stop (did not stop)
Instructed how to tell it to play music (did not music)

After setting the volume to 0 and sitting in silence, an advertisement forced the volume back on

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

Fuck the transphobic pussy-ass coward bitch Newsom, but also thankfully in California any bill passed by the legislature that isn't explicitly vetoed becomes law, with or without the governor's signature. So barring him going out of his way to veto, the trans protections will still go into effect.

Allowed to Become Law without the Governor’s Signature

Section (10)(b)(1) provides: “Any bill, other than a bill which would establish or change boundaries of any legislative, congressional, or other election district, passed by the Legislature on or before the date the Legislature adjourns for a joint recess to reconvene in the second calendar year of the biennium of the legislative session, and in the possession of the Governor after that date, that is not returned within 30 days after that date becomes a statute.”

Section (10)(b)(3) provides: “Any other bill presented to the Governor that is not returned within 12 days becomes a statute.”

California has a “pocket signature” rule. If the Governor does not act on the measure within the allotted time, then the bill becomes law without his or her signature. This is the exact opposite of the federal process. In other words, the U.S. President has a “pocket veto,” which means that, if he or she does not act on a bill within the requisite period of time, then the federal bill is vetoed.
