tiktok / social media is genuinely such a weird toxic place. saw a vid where this lady was making a weird snide post about another woman proposing to her male partner. and everyone in the comments are like "ew no". so.. what? only men can propose? wtf? what year are we in?

This website plays all of the departure tunes for each station on the Yamanote ring train line around central Tokyo. Real city heads will want to click Ebisu. Akihabara is the banger you hope it will be.

my hot take after a billion years in this media industry is that it doesn't matter how you get your information, the important thing is that you GET your information.

Julia Baran, new owner of the Animal Connection, tried repeatedly to warn the mayor about his District 4 Supervisor pick Beya Alcaraz.

Before sending videos to the press, she called the mayor’s office twice.

She wasn’t taken seriously.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

it is a strength.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,
