I realize the main pattern of these animanga video essays made mainly by north Americans is that they seem to have an overconfidence in themselves to talk about a subject, just because they consumed enough anime about a certain genre, and don't bother to do proper research on jt

📣RTs appreciated!📣
Would people be interested in sketches from me as a commission type? After I finish my current queue of painted headshots, I'm thinking of halting them in favor of something much easier to produce since they take quite a lot out of me.
Does 20USD sound good for this?

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him
And they should, given this is his fault.
And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.
Let’s be clear: Chuck Schumer is the one ending this shutdown, no matter how the votes read.
Chuck Schumer is claiming that he’s voting no, while letting other Senators (Fetterman, Kaine, King, etc) do HIS dirty work.
He must be removed from his leadership & primaried for the sake of this country

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

Land doesn't vote. You can look at maps like that all you want, but when you clean up that map to look at population, not land... it's a very different picture. Arguing that the white space is all farmland makes you question where the farmers are.

Good that's a movement towards the right direction. Now we need at least 22 more. If you have Democratic Senators who voted NO - call their offices - and ask them to call for Schumer's resignation as the Leader of Senate Dems.
