This Japanese translation I commissioned of the Animag Royal Space Force interview, which didn't draw much attention when I originally posted it two months ago, doubled its view count yesterday.
Of course, I'd rather it wasn't due to unfortunate circumstances, but at least it's getting read at all.

Edgar Allan Poe was big into code cracking. He once challenged readers of a Philadelphia paper to stump him with coded messages, deciphering dozens before having to “swear off” cryptograms forever. More on how code factors into his stories here: publicdomainreview.org/collection/e...

It's an extremely common misconception that people who have verified identities or are using their "real" names are less abusive online, but it's not true. Pseudonymous and anonymous people behave less abusively than people using their "real" names: journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

I think this piece is incredible. For some reason basically every piece of art of Link running out into the stormy night is always one of any artist's bests.

Throwback to when Furry Twitter was going through yet another round of “if your furry character isn’t human-like enough then it’s zoophilia”, and just when the discourse was at its peak, BG3 dropped the “you can fuck a druid in bear form” ad and brought the discourse to a hilarious screeching halt.
I am 100% pro Larian doing whatever pervert shit it wants and I can’t wait for another game where you can like, fuck a squid or whatever, but it really does further drive home the two-tier system of enforcement on storefronts. Bg3 contains basically everything small games get banned for

This means that Murdoc hitting 2-D with a car was an example of queer on queer violence. Sad 😔
Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett casually confirming that 2D of Gorillaz is non-binary now is not what I expected from this album promotion cycle but y’know, yeah, cool, good for them!
![Albarn: That's the lovely thing about Gorillaz - it's still committed to everything existing in its own world. It's why l put that sound on my voice to separate me from [cartoon lead singer] 2-D. He…. Well, I actually don't think he's much of a he, he's more of a 'they', isn't he?
Hewlett: They're definitely more at home in that [non-binary] world. They're a sweetheart, they're open and accepting new information.
Albarn: Exactly, it's such a nice place to sing from.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vmhrtckqi7ghdoqhf3lgvm4y/bafkreifoqfxkzjxz6oq5zh75dmks7wgy75zkpercumnvqubrm2vde4tdxy@jpeg)

Every detail about this story is absolutely insane but even in its broadest sense it is wild that a guy known for collaborating with white nationalists, promoting Pizzagate, spreading foreign state disinformation -- the list goes on and on -- is acting as a henchman for Pentagon officials.
We discovered a Goodreads page linked to the email address of a top Pentagon official featuring pornographic books about “Asian wife sharing.”
The story gets wilder from there.

I asked the Pentagon about Pete Hegseth's mentor. Then the threats started.
Journalism in the second Trump administration gets personal.

It gets exhausting watching people race to find the worst takes from the most hateful people about things they ostensibly like. I want to see your genuine feelings about something, don't hide your excitement or disappointment behind screenshots of the most obnoxious bigot you could find crashing out
I don't know, man. I'm broadly out of touch with considering the "fanbase" of anything when evaluating a work anymore. I'm sure you can find a collective of fans for anything who are annoying or awful, but they're not in the room with me and I'm not going to go looking for them.
