Bad movie (yellowface), Outstanding soundtrack and (to me) an interesting story

When not thinking of the racial YIKES inherent in yellowface, the makeup is Outstanding

(Of course in thinking that one must remember the yellowface parts and wince hard)

Glad I have moderation on
OliviaBB (Guest) The comments section and the wider fandom spaces are becoming toxic because of the political slant being pushed in the recent chapters. We are here to enjoy a story together, not debate partisan politics, especially those associated with the divisive MAGA movement. I truly hope you can understand the damage this is doing, not just to the narrative flow, but to the collaborative, welcoming environment readers cherished. I'm begging you, please step back from this political crusade you seem to be on. Your talent is evident in the original core of the story; let that speak for itself instead of using the platform to promote a specific political agenda that hurts so many of your devoted fans.

The new rectangle in my life

(I've never been much interested in the anime (my Mecha anime of choice is The Big O and I still need to finish it), but the colors and specs got me. Mostly the colors, so many mechanical things are Boring, this is not.)
Mine own Negro hands holding a mostly purple device from the side, so you can see it say Evangelion x Hiby A mostly purple rectangled device that has a small slotted area (I have since hung a Revolutionary Girl Utena phone charm from it). There is a raised green part that says Hiby R4 and opposite it at the bottom there is a mostly black part with purple and green highlights that says EVA one and has the head and shoulders of a Mecha showing.

Platner acknowledged that his past comments and the scrutiny they’re receiving reflect an emerging reality of American politics: the permanence of online behavior and the difficult question of what accountability looks like in an era when every digital trace endures. “I think there is a place for [looking back], to a point,” Platner said. “But if we are going to just litigate every comment somebody makes on the internet, we will never have a politics that functions. I think the important part is, is there a believable story of change?”

This shit is Far less funny now, fuck him
Dunbar said he is “not an anti-vaxxer,” but testified that his children have not received any vaccines. He also told the jury that he believes the vaccine has killed more people than COVID-19, and that the vaccine was made with aborted fetal cells and contains “disease.” He also testified that six foreign objects have been found in the Pfizer vaccine that cannot be identified under a microscope. Disney’s lawyers called Dr. Glenn Braunstein, who had consulted for the company during the pandemic, and who testified that there is no live disease or fetal cells in any of the vaccines. He was also asked about the claim the foreign objects seen under the microscope. “Hogwash,” he said. “It’s a ridiculous concept.”

Fron Leah McElrath: "Machado has also expressed support for foreign military intervention to topple the socialist government of Maduro and personally appealed to Netanyahu for help with regime change in Venezuela. Trump has publicly praised Machado in the past." The post McElrath is quoting talks about how Machado praised Donald Trump as a "visionary" and approves of his military attacks on Venezuelans

I'm sure they will survive

I see we're not addressing the racial element in the article

"...been widely criticized for exacerbating segregation"
Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic front-runner for mayor of New York City, plans to end the gifted and talented program for kindergarten students at public schools if he is elected, calling for a major overhaul of a program that has deeply divided parents. Mr. Mamdani said in a statement that he would embrace former Mayor Bill de Blasio’s plan, announced in 2021, to phase out the gifted program for elementary schools, which has been widely criticized for exacerbating segregation.

This is terrible, but I'm not sure why this statement is in this

"ongoing military campaign" is a hell of a way to cover for genocide and crimes against humanity
Antisemitic incidents in the U.K. have soared following Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel and Israel’s ongoing military campaign in Gaza, according to Community Security Trust, an advocacy group for British Jews that works to eliminate antisemitism.

Re: Paralives Early Access on Dec 8, 2025

From their Steam page
Why Early Access? “Paralives was built with our community since the very beginning, and we want to keep working with everyone on the next steps of our project. As dedicated life simulation game fans, we created Paralives to bring innovations and a new take on the genre, whether it’s through flexible build tools, a character creator filled with customization, or new and engaging life simulation gameplay mechanics. Releasing in Early Access will allow people to play with the features and systems we have developed and provide us with crucial feedback to help refine and improve what we have into a truly great and unique experience. Because we are a small team and the breadth and depth of things you can do with a game like Paralives is staggering, we feel like this is the best option for us.” Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access? “About two years, considering all the features and content we want to add before we can say that we’ve hit version 1.0. We’ll also surely have to work on many other improvements and changes along the way. In short, this timeframe estimate seems reasonable to us right now, but it’s always subject to change!”

..."COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT"?!

Fuck them, the people who signed it and Paramount
Stars including Liev Schreiber, Mayim Bialik, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Debra Messing are among those who have lent their names to the letter, which says the previous pledge “advocates” for “the erasure of art”. “We know the power of film,” begins the letter, which was released on Thursday by nonprofit bodies Creative Community for Peace and The Brigade. “We know the power of story. That is why we cannot stay silent when a story is turned into a weapon, when lies are dressed up as justice, and when artists are misled into amplifying antisemitic propaganda.” It accuses the pledge circulated by Film Workers for Palestine and signed by stars including Emma Stone, Joaquin Phoenix, Olivia Colman and Mark Ruffalo of being not “an act of conscience” but rather “a document of misinformation that advocates for arbitrary censorship and the erasure of art. To censor the very voices trying to find common ground and express their humanity, is wrong, ineffective and a form of collective punishment.” In the immediate wake of the pledge, many in the Israeli industry expressed considerable disquiet about the boycott, with representatives from the country’s producing, directing, screenwriting and documentary divisions saying the move was misguided and would only “deepen the darkness”. The following week, studio Paramount also condemned the boycott in a statement which read: “Silencing individual creative artists based on their nationality does not promote better understanding or advance the cause of peace. The global entertainment industry should be encouraging artists to tell their stories and share their ideas with audiences throughout the world. We need more engagement and communication – not less.”

One of these statements is not like the other.

People Never have these "concerns" until a girl or woman is Black or trans (or both) and I need certain people to wake up and realize that's not surprising.

It's all tied to white supremacy.

Unequal "muscle mass" happens All the time in sports
From the article: “I agree with the concerns expressed by parents and players that we have to take into account biological factors such as muscle mass and unfair student athletic advantage when we determine who plays on which teams, especially in contact sports,” Harris writes. “With goodwill and common sense, I believe we can come up with ways to do this, without vilifying and demonizing children.” The passage makes Harris the latest national Democrat to question the fairness of allowing transgender athletes to compete in girls’ sports. A native of the liberal Bay Area who rose to power in San Francisco politics, Harris writes that she “has been an ally of the LGBTQ+ community for my entire life,” noting transgender people face a disproportionate risk of violence and deploring how Trump’s rhetoric “was painting a bull’s-eye on their backs and putting them in peril.”

This is yarn I snagged on sale and I love the way this came out (though the border is apparently too tight (surprise!) so the rug "bubbles up"? Not sure of the correct term)
