Translates as: "Rurouni Kenshin" series exhibition kicks off today in Ikebukuro, showcasing original drawings, cels, and more.

Or to put it another way, in Ikebukuro there is currently an exhibition of the work of a convicted child sex offender.

Promising headline that completely overstates what is expressed in the actual text

Discord's response can be summed up to saying they're aware of the ethical and security problems, but they're not doing anything of substance to protect or respect users, and will make zero substantial policy changes

This is insane.

A new Magic Knight Rayearth and a Red River anime coming soon is insane.

I hope all of these upcoming shojo series get phenomenal animes that can boost these series and the genre back into mainstream relevance.

Many people in South Africa, where Elon is from, died to create a genuinely multiracial polity. They were killed by people who thought like Elon.

The people who thought like Elon also lost. Seems their โ€œcommon cultureโ€ of white supremacy wasnโ€™t enough.

I think itโ€™s bad that the major American Jewish organizations that claim to speak for the community have decided that college student protesters are a bigger danger to Jews than the actual US government supporting a German far-right that wants to stop Holocaust remembrance.

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018.
How did I do it?

Blacked out lines

CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP.
There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

Facebook post by Varg Vikernes using AI.

It would seem that the worst person in all of heavy metal has sunk even lower by embracing AI - and given Varg Vikernes is already a racist and an unrepentant convicted murderer, thatโ€™s saying something.

Social media misleads young on gender transitioning, says UK review leader Hilary Cass, who led youth gender identity services review, warns of โ€˜unrealistic images and expectationsโ€™

how many young ppl did they consult? Young people I speak to understand they are free to express themselves however they want, regardless of identity. My son, for example, loves to run around in a tiara. But he expresses no desire to be seen as a girl

Red-figure pottery vessel shaped like a lobster claw. It features a handle arching from the broad claw base, with reserved orange-red figures and palmette-floral motifs against a glossy black-glazed background. Minor chips visible on the edges.

This is a marvelous example of whimsy and craftsmanship! A rare Greek askos, made in the shape of a lobster claw. ๐Ÿฆž
Dating back to approximately 450 BC, the vessel was used to hold perfumed oil.
