Just FYI: Jasmine Crockett has taken $0 from AIPAC. She affirms Israel’s right to exist, while calling for massive humanitarian support in Gaza and an end to Netanyahu’s violence.

Lowest I've rated an anime film on Letterboxd was Poupelle of Chimney Town, though I watched a "color-spoiled" screener that made all the animation look even worse than it normally is.
My hot take is that one scene completely ruins Wings of Honneamise.

In honor of today's viewing of Scarlet, I'm going to throw out a question to y'all: what's the worst anime movie you've seen?
Hard mode: no compilation films (because let's be real, most of them aren't good to begin with).

Is Journal with Witch the first anime to flat-out use the term "neurodivergent"?

They want to scare people out of posting ICE-critical content, because they know these posts are turning even their supporters against them. But the better option is to take a page out of their playbook and flood the zone.
Posting about ICE on Instagram is now enough to get you an “administrative subpoena.” 👀

There’s going to be Covid style shortages of cars, TVs and even washing machines and fridges, then job losses because assembly lines can’t source solid state memory, just so the stupidest person you know can state with 100% confidence a chatbot confirmed dinosaurs coexisted with humans.
I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

I asked actor Neil Patrick Harris about political art at #Berlinale today. He didn't want to engage and said: "I'm always interested in doing things that are apolitical".

This is straight-up Nazi rhetoric from Musk, and the only tiny thing I can do is address myself to those of you who are still on X. No more excuses about how you need "reach" or how good the conversation is there or the importance of debate. You will not regret walking away, and it's time.
We must speak plainly about the agenda Elon Musk & other MAGA leaders are pushing. It’s white nationalism.
There’s no room for Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native, Jewish or all other Americans in Musk’s monocultural vision.
Multiculturalism is superior. We can’t allow Musk & others to end it.

Wait, Space Dandy is a strict 18+ rating on Crunchyroll? The same show that aired uncut with a TV-14 on Toonami? I don't remember any gore in it, and if it's purely about horniness, Chainsaw Man is a 16+? Is this one of those FUNimation-to-Crunchyroll translations that didn't work?

Our court system is largely working, with the exception of the most important court
Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped.

The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, but the administration has continued jailing people indefinitely.

The funniest part of Trump dragging Bill Maher is that Maher has endlessly gargled Trump’s balls ever since the dinner.
In a nearly 500 word rant, President Trump goes after Bill Maher.
1. The dinner he references included Kid Rock and Dana White.
2. He ends it with “thank you for your attention to this minor matter.”
