Certified ServiceNow Administrator & Application Developer. Fan of Japanese media and culture. Old dude in his 40's. Looking to hang out and interact with friends I met long ago, new friends I meet along the way, and to interact with cool people.
I don’t watch any NBC news programs, but I am disappointed and very agitated at their actions.

Looks like the work you’re doing now is more important than ever. You might even want to reach out to those from NBC BLK to see if they’d be interested in joining forces or something?

Did something happen?

I didn’t say he had earned my vote; I said I’d be more *inclined* to if he signed those bills.

I hope he comes around, but if not, I hope someone who hasn’t expressed transphobic sentiments in the past like he has can have the same energy and drive to make a stand.

People really need that now.

My wife is the strongest woman I know who not only put ups with me, but so much other stuff that the fact that she still stands and carries practically her entire family on her back amazes me.

I won’t go into details, but I adore Frankie and whatever you have planned canonwise for her, I’m in!

If they are bots, then hopefully @support.bsky.team and @safety.bsky.app can help identify and block them from starting ridiculous drama.

Frankly, I love what you did with Frankie and making her the way she is. She reminds me of my wife and I love that!

Now, I may not understand the importance or significance of AB 1084. All I know of it was what I just read about in the call to arms message. If you think that one is just as critical as the others, then I will stand corrected.

The other four, however, provide essential protections: requiring a warrant for law enforcement to access certain private medical information, protecting people from health insurance companies denying medically necessary care, and protecting individual identities in court proceedings.

Most of these look like they’d be broad enough protections that passing them shouldn’t be too big an issue. AB 1084 might be too narrow that he vetoes that one, but if he vetoed that one and passed the other four, I’d be happy since 1084 is just a red tape issue. (1/2)

I just sent him an email.

I’m not a Californian, but my wife and I have been following his actions against the current federal administration. My wife would like to see him run for President, and I told him if he passes these bills, I’d be more enthusiastic to vote and openly endorse him.

Whether this has any impact on new projects or existing properties, and what kind of impact that may be, I don’t know.

However, seeing Arabic nations investing in Japanese IPs (like Samurai Pizza Cats and UFO Robo Grendizer) makes me scratch my head.

The developers are a studio based in the Netherlands: Blast Zero. But I believe their funding and backing for making this game is coming straight from Red Dunes Games.

I’m no expert in the politics or culture of the Arabic world right now, but I did find this interesting.

One of the co-founders of the publisher is Sultan Saeed Al Darmaki. Ever since he took over his late father’s company around 2012, he has been investing his extreme wealth into bankrolling films and other projects that interest him. Samurai Pizza Cats is one of them.

I may have been mistaken. It’s not Saudi Arabia, but Abu Dhabi of the United Arab Emirates.🇦🇪

When the news was announced, I did a deep dive to look into the developer and the publisher.

The publisher is Red Dunes Games, which is based in Abu Dhabi.

Gotta be honest; leveling it to the ground would be a huge waste. Satisfying, but a waste nonetheless.

Repurposing it into something other than a ballroom would definitely be the more pragmatic approach.

Also agree that it needs to be dedicated to something the orange guy would hate.

They announced it a few months ago.
