Trump v. United States wasn’t a serious request either, but here we are.

Screw it. Yosuga no Sora. With the horny post-credits omake. Especially the horny post-credits omake.

That’s like the highest praise you could give Rumbling Hearts. It is utterly unashamed of its melodrama.

Or watch Rumbling Hearts. Three out of four characters never even make it to college because their lives fall apart after the timeskip.

Or… Or! Add a subsection on crucifixion to the main anime topic page!

Little regional airports are great. Like, if I lived in the northern Detroit suburbs, I’d prefer flying out of Flint than going down to DTW. And my own hometown airport, GRR, is a breeze to get in and out of.

And this is Grand Rapids, MI. Now I love Miku and all, but what the hell does she have to do with Grand Rapids?

The anti-porn crusade comes for online games Activists pressure payment processors, who in turn pressure game marketplaces. Now many video games and visual novels are disappearing.

"The games purge also serves as yet another example of the way payment processors have become weaponized by both governments and activists, since they can serve as a means of suppressing speech without having to resort to more unconstitutional or objectionable methods."

Starlight Express anime or what are we even doing here?

A new one terabyte micro SD express card, in its original packaging.

“Tell me you bought a Switch 2 without telling me you bought a Switch 2.”

If they included PWHL, I’d be riding high with the Victoire. But then again, if they included college, Stanford’s inability to thrive in the NIL / Corruption Era of college football would really hurt me.

I recall that way, way back in the day, Apple’s port of QuickTime to Windows included so many Mac OS APIs just to make it all work, some developers were using it as a general-purpose means of porting Mac applications to Windows.

Relying on AI in Colonoscopies May Erode Clinicians' Skills Concerns of 'deskilling' raised for clinicians who use AI in colonoscopies, then go without it

i'm so sick of hearing boosters write things like "AI detects cancer better than doctors" based on really thin studies and wishful thinking. well, here's a study that shows that AI not only did a worse job than human docs, but actually degraded their abilities www.medpagetoday.com/gastroentero...

It's kind of amazing how, at the last tech conference I went to, far too many dudes were boasting about how "easy" their jobs were thanks to "the AI doing all the work"

They really didn't like me asking why a company would keep paying them six figures if "the AI" was doing their jobs for them.

“A is A, unless Mister Trump says otherwise.”

Will never cease to amaze me that the Objectivists were the first to cave, when they should have been our first line of defense.

(I know what you’re all going to say. That’s why I’m blocking replies.)

I was a 90s-era libertarian and in retrospect, people like me really let down our LGBTQ friends by not voicing full-throated support for full marriage equality. So now, anyone who cares about individual liberty and personal autonomy needs to be standing up for trans people today.

We’ve only had it since New Year’s, so we’re still in the honeymoon phase, but I love it. It’s probably my favorite of all the cars I’ve ever owned.

Don’t quite know how to answer about turning radius, except that it feels more sedan than SUV. Or just get the Premium with the cool parking cams.

Media: "There are unrepentant criminals roving the streets of DC!"

The criminals:

I'm anti bullying

But these are acceptable bullying targets:
Payment Processors
TERFs
Corporations
Corpos
Republicans
Do-Nothing Democrats
Antis
Racists
Homophobes
Yamakan
Japanese Nationalists
Christian Nationalists
MAGAs
Israel (and it's simps)
The Current Administration
Fashies
And Satania

I recall watching “ef” on a plane once and wouldn’t you know it, NSFW scene.

View from driver’s seat, showing a 63% charge on the dash and the v4 Supercharger through the windshield.

Charging session stats from the FordPass app, showing 33% added in 17 minutes.

First time charging the #MachE at a Tesla Supercharger, one of the 325 kW models. OMFG, was this fast. It was going up like 1% every 30 seconds.

So funny that the right is trying to push that DC is a crime hell hole while there was a big anime convention attended by 40k+ plus people all having fun going out to eat and seeing the sights over the weekend

You’re in some pretty great company there.

Nendoroid Douki-chan, in box.

Prose dialogue: “Here’s the thing, Tech Support… at heart, we’re all narcissists. Given a choice, the first thing we’ll usually reach for is the option that makes us feel better about ourselves. That’s the value of philosophy. You train the mind to prefer the options that are going to be the most productive, the most pro-social. You make it so that doing the right thing is your first choice, the one you would always want to make. Problem is, propaganda does the same thing, but in the other direction. People aren’t inherently bad. We’re not savage beasts, built to rape and kill. That’s the popular assumption, but it’s just not true. People want to make a good choice, and feel like they’re doing the right thing. Propaganda teaches them that wrong is right, that they should reach for the evil option first, and they should feel good about it. That’s what we’re up against.”

Someday, I’ll get back to it. Someday, I’ll have time again. For now, the best I can do is throw good bits into my notes when they come up, so they’ll be there when I’m ready for them again. #AmNotWriting

Hold the phone… Ganbare Douki-chan? Where on earth did you find that? Dealer’s room or artists’ alley?

Not sure what’s more impressive: the DOA album or the 13 Sentinels stickers.

It's profoundly saddening to read that AP will no longer be assigning or running book reviews because readers don't engage with them enough and they take too much effort to plan and assign. People complain about critics as gatekeepers; wait until all that's left is marketing.

I think it’s safe to assume most of us are more concerned about your family emergencies, and hope that things are as OK as they can be.
