We must speak plainly: The attack succeeded.
But the attack failed because of the courage of public servants who gave proof through the night that our flag was still there by refusing to bend to pressure, threats, or intimidation. On that day, the Constitution held and we kept the Republic.

The CEO of Barnes & Noble says they aren't hurting indies, but in Chicagoland they're exclusively opening near independent bookstores. I threw together a map. Blue pins are indies, red pins are new B&Ns (recent and upcoming)

This country is allowing the fascists to win this civil war without any opposition

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids?

Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

diet sprite should be as ubiquitous as diet coke. it's weird that we replicated the red/white wine model with sodas and then never popularized its chardonnay

Makio is weird and insulated but you immediately get such a rich sense of her as a person, of a genuine thoughtfulness underneath it despite her distance from any sense of normalcy. Her and Asa have such a rough chemistry initially but an incredibly believable one that I'm so happy got adapted well

They've done an incredible job translating that delicate balance which exists throughout ikoku nikki of a grief so utterly crushing and those vital moments of comedic levity that give it room to breathe. A natural oddity and charm underlined by such a genuine humanity you can't help but love.

it makes me immensely happy that they managed to inject a little bit of that gorgeous watercolor-esque art dotted throughout the manga in the OP

You can't help but watch episode one of the ikoku nikki anime adaptation and be immediately reminded it is the best manga that has ever been written

First episode of Ikoku Nikki anime was good I think. Looked good, voice acting was good, tone seems right, and the story is following the manga well. The manga is slow (but well) paced and I think this episode does a decent job expressing that. (1/2)

you can claim "the technology itself is neutral" all you want but the combination of AI censor/label tech on this website with the disgusting stories like stella's below demonstrate that this tech has a very specific purpose: control over women's bodies
I‘m discontinuing my social media use for the foreseeable future and I want to explain why.

I woke up in the new year to discover that some guy on here had saved photos I took on New Year’s Eve and used Grok to remove my clothes. I know this because he showed me.

The Purpose Of A System Is What It Does. and right now, this system is harassing and sexually assaulting women on an unprecedented scale. it is actively reifying the sexualization of women and the patriarchal control of women. it is the world's shiniest and newest boot.

It's this but then the exterminator sends you text messages asking for more money every 3 hours for the rest of your life
the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches
