I wonder if anyone involved was personally feeling guilty and cooperated with the idea that this would be a metaphorical public canary killing.

Yes and I also want to make clear my answer to "is Japanese media culture more or less gay friendly than American media culture" is firmly "it's complicated".

I think that's an oversimplification of gender and sexuality in Japanese media, and that trying to use an American framing to view Japanese media doesn't work (fun game: see how many anime and shows pass the Bechdel test). In some ways Japanese media is more gay friendly, in some ways it isn't.

Agree, it's hard to make broad statements about countries of several hundred million people, but I think this is largely true, although I would say Japan "less violent" in its social ostracism instead of "more chill". bsky.app/profile/peng...
Yeah I think this is just a problem with trying to condense everything into a single number. Queer people in America face significantly more real physical danger than in Japan, even though they have more legal rights than in Japan.

While Buffalo wings are now a ubiquitous app all over the country, not every regional food goes national. What cuisine from YOUR region do you most want to share with the country/world?

I literally begged my family to have Christmas in the East Bay so that I could plan the whole thing around this very meal, and it both happened and exceeded my wildest expectations.

Historically maybe but you can marry your same sex spouse, have them be your inheritor/medical decision maker etc, and have homosexuality as a protected civil rights class in America. None of that is true in Japan.

Yeah I opened up MSNBC (no I will not call it the stupid new name) during the Bluesky outage earlier today and the story at the top of the site was "That Ring commercial was cute but also demonstrated their ability to surveil human beings". There are in fact people talking about these things.

I remember calling his office about this carve out for state police, and the staffer basically said that this was required political horse trading to keep the police from objecting. Oops! Looks like that was a bad idea! Maybe you should have listened to your constituents!
SB 627 is designed to protect both the public and legitimate officers. At a time when masked, unidentifiable operatives have terrorized our communities, we need policies that ensure transparency and accountability. (1/2)
