After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

If democrats can't grow a spine and do something right now I really don't know what is going to happen. Are they waiting for a certain number of peaceful citizens to be murdered before doing something? I know they're "scared of appearing anti-cop" or whatever but are they scared of civil war at all?

Jisho has long been an incredibly valuable website for learning Japanese - huge range of definitions, well sourced, and no ads. It's an honor that my silly little slang dictionary is now part of it. Can't wait for the full launch of the new version (plz bring back the dark background Kimtaro 🙏🙏🙏🥺🥺🥺)
Excited to announce that @scriptingjapan.bsky.social's slang dictionary is available on the new Jisho! Wes' dictionary, blog posts and videos are deeply researched and entertaining, and a vital resource for anyone who studies Japanese. Thank you Wes! All entries here: four.jisho.org/search/%23sc...

Fun Fact: One of the reasons Square was pushed to improve its localization practices in the 2000s is because Alexander O. Smith showed them reviews proving that people *cared* about translation quality. (Link to the full interview: web.archive.org/web/20091113...)

Still working on this #FFIV translation thing to stream someday

Originally, I wanted to study the old fan translations and get screenshots, but after some tests, it seems like it'd make more sense for me to play & read the original Japanese aloud

Not sure anyone would find that entertaining though

Masked ICE agents, it seems, are now killing American citizens on American streets.

Any Democrat who doesn’t support abolishing ICE should be instantly primaried and run out of the party.

This is non negotiable. You cannot support the continued existence of this fascist murderous secret police.

So, fun fact. Tenchi Muyo! was the first title to be released in North America in a dual-audio format. The LaserDisc, which shipped in December 1993, included both the JP and English audio tracks, as well as English subtitles. It was priced at $31.46 USD.

I'm on episode 32 of Gundam Wing, and this profile of Duo pops up for a second. These are shitty phone pics because I'm watching on my living room TV, but the animators stuck in some romanized Japanese in his profile.

Perhaps now people will stop wishcasting about the US military refusing illegal orders. That's not a thing that happens. The 100% compliance rate with using civilian boats for target practice was a bit of a tell.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
