Fanart of the characters "Kaname Madoka" and "Akemi Homura" from the "Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica" series.

Sorry, I've been thinking about this anime a lot lately

Shop indie, everyone!!! The best book recommendations have come from booksellers, and the ways they bring the community together -- unparalleled

I do so love bookclub, and being able to read in peace for a few hours with other people

HE'LL BE YOUR QUEEN BEE JOLLI-B-LOVELY

the "pill time" me with natsuko ishikawa smiling and looking at haurchefant, moenbryda, and ysayle saying "i love my character." then she holds maehiro's head and says "kazutoyo maehiro time." then she looks at her characters and says "i love my characters" as they fade away. then she looks much more serious and asks "where are my characters"

imagine making four major characters and three of them get killed by another writer but you manage to put the fourth one in a box that you don't open until you're lead writer and now the boy is practically immortal.

the basic theory of DOGE was that if powerful people said it was fine it didn’t matter what the law said.

I think proving that theory wrong is worth significant effort

The Art of War is very funny once you understand it for what it actually is, which is Warfare 101 For Dipshit Nobles

the intended audience is exactly people like Pete Hegseth

A post which says "Heartbreaking: JRPG corridor has gone on for far longer than expected and you are starting to suspect that you actually took the correct path by accident"

Yeah, Mackenzie Scott is a fascinating case. She is literally ignoring the SOPs of philanthropy in order to give away wealth as quickly and efficiently as possible and she’s still getting richer. At her level it is impossible not to make money. Tax billionaires, A LOT.

the fact that legislators are trying to say that computers are devices that require id verification and tracking to use should put fear into EVERYONE. FIGHT AGAINST THIS.

Bad day for anyone who ever used Etsy to print shipping labels.

So, even if you closed your Etsy years ago, make sure they didn't just bill you several hundred dollars for fun and make sure you get your money back.

tiktok screenshot of the privacy settings on a video, allow ai to remix content is toggled at the bottom

just had to go ONE BY ONE disabling ai remix on all of my videos on tiktok, there doesn’t seem to be a way to mass edit and this has been retroactively implemented on ALL videos, i’m livid

I love these lil guys sm #witchhatatelier #Δ帽子

Went to go see Suffs in theater today!

(the parallels of a bit over 100 years ago to today is concerning yet here we are)

Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.

Art from 2023, feat. Ryne Waters & Gaia from Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers. A sorrowful expression on Gaia's face as one hand tries to hold Ryne's while trying grasp Ryne's arm with the other. Ryne, behind her, looks almost ethereal. There is some of the most intense crosshatching you ever seen.

i don’t want my appliances to be smart or connect to the internet. i want them to do one mechanical task for 100 years

One last point: When governments talk about "age verification," they also mean "identity verification"

So even if you're 55 years old, you will be virtually carded and all your social media activity will be linked to your identity. That means no online anonymity and raises privacy issues for adults

There is no better year to clean house (pun intended) than a year when Dems are +8 on the generic. We can dump a dozen shitty unethical Dems w/o fear of losing the districts while Republicans are going to have to vote to keep criminals as their colleagues for fear of losing their majority.
