If Gavin Newsom wants to gerrymander California to ensure democrats stay in power by moving to unseat long-time Republican headaches in national politics, he should make an effort to convince me that empowering the Democratic Party of California isn't going to throw me under the bus.

It's cool to take a break from the anime and manga space now and then! Nobody should feel pressured to keep up with everything.

Thb, I'm kind of burnt out on anime after so many hits came out last season. Probs gonna focus on manga for the next couple months.

I've said this before, but it bears repeating: More people should really talk with elders in the fandom while they're still alive. None of us are getting younger, and we all have interesting stories to tell.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

I think the right move here is the same as the right move for any journalist working for a suspect new boss (which has happened to almost all of us): Do exactly what you would ordinarily do, exactly the way you would ordinarily do it, until you are told point-blank that you can't. Then ask why.

David Klion @davidklion.bsky.social · 1d

The notion that Bari will be "running CBS News" is slightly misleading. What the reporting suggests is that Tom Cibrowski, a guy with normal qualifications, will be doing that. Bari will be Emperor Ellison's Vader-esque enforcer, outside the chain of command, intervening at will.

We've been adding lots of polish and flourish with our extra time on Demonschool. This before and after video of maxing relationships should give you a good idea.

Before: A small kiss decal. That's all we had time for.

After: Full-on shoujo manga animatic.

it's not pedantic, i don't think. it further highlights how whiteness works and how absurd her elevation to EIC is.

Lydia Polgreen @polgreen.bsky.social · 2d

Not to be a pedant but Bari Weiss was a junior editor who occasionally wrote opinion pieces in the opinion section, not a columnist.

In one sense, this is the Admin recklessly undermining basic norms of liberal democracy.

In another sense, this is the sweatiest flailing around since Giuliani was giving conferences outside a landscaping shop. It's just blindly groping around for any lever of power, regardless of how dumb it is.

You don’t need to.

The first was thinly veiled conservative propaganda that also ended the, at that point, longest romantic relationship of my life.
