Say he resigns. Which sterling example of humanity should take his place? (Just pretend I linked to articles about all three people in that government’s line of succession, there.)

This $1.5 million weapon will then be used to fire $7.99 bullets at people with AK-47s, most likely in an increasingly warm climate.

I can pretty much guarantee you that that truck stuck on US 2? Is driven by someone who regularly whines about US 2 to local congress-critters - perhaps even the one who actually represents them!

This is how I imagine the fan debate going.

B-wings are maintenance nightmares compared to Y-, X-, and A-wings, because of the three-dimensional aspect to their construction and the rotating cockpit. You have to move or rotate the whole thing to access and work on specific areas on or in the structure. It’s good for what it is, a heavy bomber with enough…

It’s only stealing if it belonged to you in the first place...

This should take about 1 minute. Two officers didn’t identify themselves. Told the suspect (I’m being generous by granting them this) to put his hands up. Then fired 20 shots at his back.

...And? This feels like a ‘slow news day’ story. No one died, no one got hurt, the cop got punished for it, and it’s all open and shut. I can’t remember the last time you could count off all four in a single incident - and it’s a sign of the times that it just feels like good news now.

...and then I saw Matt Berry’s name.

David Hayter?

Seems like a lot of fire to be that.

My plan was to link to a Dokodemo-Door video, but I couldn’t find one. And while I’m definitely looking forward to the new TZ... a childhood of watching Doraemon has inured me to the oddities in this video. Sigh. My first thought even was, ‘oh crap, someone built a Dokusai-Switch’.

There are two possibilities here. The first is that, 8 months ago, that man lied to you about who he was. The second is that, 8 months ago, that man did not lie to you about who he was. Knowing which one it was requires knowing “what’s in his heart” or whatever BS gets peddled over stuff like this.

I can’t say I’m shocked by this...

Ten years of National novel writing month, meaning ten 50k novel-starts. But now I whine about things in the comments section, like the Japanese take on race and/or black(ness).

I also linked to a video (suggesting the comments under it) and a book summary, before and after that article. Aren’t you able to read them?

...how many Filipina/Japanese relationships did you miss while you were there? Or are they not ‘black’ enough, and therefore less important?

And I grew up thinking this wasn’t hard to understand.

The artist is still part of the discussion, and never stopped being part of it I thought. But it’s a commercial, not an anime like what’s in your gifs - and I’m pressing this point because it’s relevant, if a little esoteric. ...There’s a 1977 movie called ‘House’, directed by someone who to that point specialized in…

No one asked you for yours, but thank you so much for putting it in the spotlight. And we were talking about a black woman’s experience in Japan already, clearly a completely different one from the black men in the article(s).
