If @crunchyroll.com doesn’t want to eventually get plowed under by @netflix.com

They’re going to have to do a far better job at prioritizing English dubs. Cutting of simultaneous releases between cours in the same season (Gachiakuta for one) is a fast way to lose business.

Ahh some good news
THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

Author PSA:

Quit criticizing mature representations of young people in literature.

Especially when a book appears dated to roughly Medieval times.

They started working at 7 & w/ weapons not long after. Commanding troops at 16-20 wasn’t unheard of.

24 years ago: transferring ✈️ in St. Louis on my way back to USMC combat training with several other Marines following boot camp.

Our service and the lives of scores of others utterly changed that sunny Sept. 11th.
