Let’s talk about abolishing ICE.

Very few people who say “abolish ICE” mean “abandon all immigration enforcement.” Rather, they mean “the structure of immigration enforcement is irretrievably broken and needs to be reorganized, just like we did 23 years ago when we created ICE.”

To any junior devs reading the discourse, don't let anyone tell you crunch is necessary. Don't fall for it. Long term crunching is dangerous for your physical & mental health, full stop. Great games are not made because of crunch, they are made in SPITE of crunch, and it is NOT sustainable. Period.

This really is the test of this moment and I think it's time we speak with clarity and demand our leaders do the same.
There's hardly a meaningful distinction between ICE and the Gestapo at this point and we might as well confront that.

No reforming an institution which became the gestapo. It must be destroyed.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

I am, in fact, triggered by someone being murdered by the Gestapo and our government lying about it and celebrating the murder. It’s time for decent people to decide where they stand — with the Gestapo and its supporters, the juvenile shitposting government, or with America.
In response to a quote tweet of DHS that says “you guys killed an American citizen,” Greg Bovino replies: “Triggered much?”

A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls.

There's a new English release of Mushishi, lettered by Phil Christie (@kernedout.bsky.social). I adore how Urushibara-sensei utilizes texture in her art, and how the sound effects inherit that texture. Phil does an amazing job replicating that with subtitled SFX. Notes in alt text!

GOOD NEWS! A group of patients with an otherwise incurable form of T‑cell leukemia have seen their cancer driven into REMISSION by an innovative immune therapy known as BE-CAR7. 82% of patients reached deep remission and 64% of patients have now been disease-free and OFF therapy for THREE years.

My 1st full year of creative translation! It's hard to believe it's only been 1.5 years since I started freelancing full time. It honestly feels like a decade (lmao). I am so thankful to so many people for assigning me these beautiful projects, for believing in me, for giving me advice and feedback.

I will never understand why they replaced community submitted subtitles for this nonsense

Real human people were happy and willing to make subtitles in a variety of languages for free, and the creator had full control of what submissions were used

And they GOT RID OF IT
It finally happened. I finally ran into a Youtube video with that awful auto-dubbing feature turned on.

The video is an interview and it's... not even watchable now. Like the auto-dubbing is just saying random nonsensical words. 😭

Why did they ever think this was a good feature to implement?

I'm pretty sure that at this point in time, the remaining opposition to renewables are nothing but the tantrums of those with interest in fossil fuels and/or could not get the logic of "there's no cost to obtaining the fuel" to sink into the brain.
