People are dying from severe malnutrition.

UNRWA alone has thousands of trucks in neighbouring countries waiting to enter Gaza – banned by Israeli Authorities from entering since March.

Lift the siege.

Like many people, the recent glut of Studio-Ghibli-styled AI images has left a bad taste in my mouth.

My grandma (we called her “granarch” because she was 𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘤) wrote “Howl's Moving Castle”, which was adapted by Hayao Miyazaki into a film of the same name.

These past 3 months have been the worst f---ing year

The hearing on a PI ordered here is going on right now. Judge Reyes is grilling the gov't lawyer on what the DOD policies mean, and the gov't lawyer essentially said the policies are changing every two days so he didn't know.

Judge Reyes asked him why he wasn't talking to his clients. Yikes.

I don't think so?? I only had vague memories of playing the games these are based on when I started. But I will say, Nocturne is a very tightly written and you'll get a lot of mileage out of two seasons, whereas the first series was four (great) seasons with a jaw-dropping boss fight...
