This was incredibly difficult for me to write. It was digging into my own family history, but I hope I did the subject justice.

After World War II, some US-based organizations found a...unique way to fight the Cold War, using Japan as a proxy. Here's the story of how "war brides" and mixed-race children became weapons to ward off Communism.

i think it's neat how harlock's whole shtick is that he's constantly yearning for more freedom, and how that compares with emeraldas who is _so_ free that she's basically just eternally lonely

I wrote more words about how it feels to be a translator watching the games press report on AI and labor, coming from a field that's fought these battles for decades. It may look like I'm beating up on one outlet, but it's not about them; I've been trying to write this for me and my peers all year.

for whatever reason my brain refuses to treat the new digimon anime and the new monster strike anime as two different shows and just keeps mashing them up together in my head and the results are not cool and fun they're just confusing

In a significantly weirder case, "Sleeping Lady with Black Vase" is a 1928 oil painting by Róbert Berény. It was lost in WWII, and considered looted by the Nazis and likely destroyed afterwards in the chaos... until someone recognized it as set dressing in the movie "Stuart Little."
Yes, really.

One aspect of the Sega Saturn's identity that I feel is often ignored by western fans is the huge popularity of "gal games" on the system. There is a reason Sega created a title like Sakura Wars at the time, as the ratio of gal games being released on the Saturn was twice as large as the PS1. 🧵

The problem is that the far right sees the same thing the far left does: dnd IS built on a bedrock of racist fantasy! It is NOT doing enough to address that, if it even can!
The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...
