Shinjuku's Moulin Rouge: The Theater That Danced Through War and Censorship - Unseen Japan
Japanese imperial authorities frequently raided it and censored its scripts. Despite this, the women at the Shinjuku Moulin Rouge danced on.
At a time when sacrificing oneβs life for the nation was considered a duty, Moulin Rouge Shinjuku star Ashita Matsuko told soldiers she prayed for their safe return.
βBefore they were soldiers, they were my fans. The war stole their youth.β

I never hear anyone talking about Microzeit, but they put out some banger books on video game history - I own the ones on software piracy in the 80s & 90s in Europe and they're a great read.

A hand holding a dripping wet, bulging-eyed, flat-faced cat looking sadly at the camera.
βThe cat is such a perfect symbol of beauty and superiority that it seems scarcely possible for any true aesthete and civilised cynic to do other than worship it.β

What an absolutely glorious BTS photo of the USCSS Nostromo. The starkness of the black and white really helps the detail stand out and shows the level of detail and attention that went into building it.
I've always said that ALIEN was a meeting of artists who were all at the top of their game.

she lost at skateboarding and became transphobic. Now itβs this. The amazing thing is that you can set your watch to this: all of the people who hate trans women also hate cis women. Itβs just misogyny, through and through

In Yoshi's Island, a cave background sparkles, but only when Yoshi moves. This is achieved in an inventive way by making many 1-pixel "pinholes" in the background through which a field of stars is visible. The parallax motion shows the stars intermittently, creating sparkles.

Oregon generalβs testimony that National Guard troops βwill be protecting any protestersβ gains traction online
Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold made the comments to state lawmakers Sept. 30, and they drew notice on social media this week.
I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

This is superb - I'm fully supportive of this. I got into tabletop gaming as a kid to escape a vile situation at home, and I'd have cried out for this kind of support from fellow enthusiasts.

honestly fu** you if you think gazans are only allowed to ask for help to cover their very basic necessities when theyβre starving or being killed, calling a gazan a grifter for trying to secure her education proves that you donβt see gazans as humans who deserve to live equally.
