charter schools are a pernicious leech on communities & the common good
Getting annoyed listening to charter school activists lie again and again that charter schools are public schools.
They are not.
They are publicly funded private schools that siphon money away from public schools and produce no better results.

I still absent-mindedly navigate to www.comicsreporter.com some mornings as I sip my first coffee of the day... and then I miss Tom - a generous, gossipy guy with a clear sense of taste, sharp wit, and deep passion for the actual working people that make zines and comics.

Was not expecting the de Young manga exhibit to be this extensive. The first and final pages of Ashita no Joe? A room of Rumiko Takahashi originals? Huge paintings by Araki from JoJo? So impressed

@realgdt.bsky.social my friend, I had such a wonderful experience seeing the film on a big screen here in LA.
Sumptuous as hell, this former Catholic altar boy and now father of a wild son was moved deeply by your vision.
And the burning angel appeared in my dream the night after i saw the film.

SE’s localization work on FFXIV and FFXVI have been some of the most incredible examples of good JPN-ENG loc. SE has defined new standards for excellence in our craft.
Not to mention, that good loc has been pivotal in establishing a dedicated fanbase—and good sales.

Life is more important than books, but I do want to say that I appreciate Star Fruit's place in the industry. They license such cool books that would otherwise go missed.
I found Minami Q-ta thru them, and they've published Hideshi Hino too.
Please help if you can.
