James is not kidding. Someone on Twitter put together a clip compilation and Kenshiro's actor sounds like someone doing a parody of bad old anime dubs. I am SPEECHLESS. I am DUMBFOUNDED.
He can't even do the fight noises right!
Also no one can pronounce "Hokuto."
Okay, y'all, I need you to check out the new Fist of the North Star anime on Amazon Prime right now. Not because it is good. God, no. It fucking sucks. But the English dub...
The English dub contains what may be the single worst performance I have ever heard in an anime. It is miraculous.
There's something a bit poignant about a Bluetooth device failing to connect to another device right next to it when they're the only Bluetooth devices for hundreds of thousands of kilometres around.
Incredible

The marches had no shortage of skeptics. In Oxford, Miss,, Cass Rutledge, a first-year law student at the University of Mississippi, walked through the No Kings protest and around the town square on Saturday and questioned why people thought Mr. Trump was acting like a king. "He is, you know, a duly elected president who won the popular vote and the electoral college in a landslide," Mr. Rutledge said. "And so I'm a little bit confused on how he's acting differently than any other president." He pointed to the stalemate in Congress over the SAVE America Act, the Republican-driven bill to tighten voter identification and registration rules, which Democrats have called an attempt to suppress turnout based on false claims of voting fraud. Mr. Rutledge said that Mr. Trump was "going through the process" to try to get the legislation passed.

The NYT says today’s #NoKings protests had “no shortage of skeptics,” and then quoted exactly one of those skeptics: The chairman of the Ole Miss College Republicans (as of 2025.)
But of course, the Times doesn’t ID him as such. He’s just a Concerned Youth.

This is not meant as a call out, but I do want to pull this out because I have seen this expressed way too many times.
This is good old-fashioned ignorance mixed with a little bit of presumption. Anyone who uses this talking point simply does not understand what the modern car market looks like.
This hadn’t gone exactly how they’d like. In December, Bloomberg reported recently, “a senior US defense official posed a hypothetical scenario” to Amodei: What if a nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missile were hurtling towards the US with only 90 seconds to spare, and Anthropic’s AI were the only way to trigger a missile response to save the country, but the company’s safeguards wouldn’t allow it, the senior official mused in a December phone call. “Call me,” was how Pentagon officials interpreted Amodei’s answer, according to another senior defense official briefed on the discussion, who described being astounded by the billionaire’s response. LOL. Our beautiful generals have many medals and some even have battlefield experience, but I can say with some confidence that they have never engaged with a Rationalist online and are deeply unprepared for what it means to pick a fight with one.
![[Dario Amodei Bane voice] “Oh, you think stupid elaborate hypotheticals are your ally. But you merely adopted elaborate and weirdly specific hypothetical scenarios; I was born in them, molded by them. I didn’t see a normal argument until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING!”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f6yzeddlu7zjqbthmn37yvom/bafkreib7pecf4dbdvggwa5kwnnlvfhp3pzs7nzzdcnltn7ocx2dqeprjha)

one of the funniest things to keep coming out of the anthropic reporting is that the pentagon was trying to convince amodei by proposing elaborate hypothetical scenarios. buddy do you think an EFFECTIVE ALTRUIST has never considered a bizarrely specific and elaborate hypothetical scenario??

Meta's plan for launching glasses that people can use to secretly identify strangers on the street is to do it "during a dynamic political environment" when people who care about why that's bad are "focused on other concerns."

I translated Inganock for Kagami Games. This is an all-new English TL for an HD release of the game.
I'm a fan of Sakurai's Steampunk games in general, but I think many people would call this one the "classic" in the series. Grateful I got the chance to work on it!
Highly, highly important, inflexible Japanese->English translation rule dealing with any game-themed text:

状態: Status
The top is numerical attributes; the bottom is whether a party-member is poisoned or asleep
The top is literally "status" in katakana, but that's a trap
