some kid on my flight is reading shelby foote's civil war book and i want to tell him to throw that shit in the trash

ICE defeated by SNOW

I hate that every week there's something stupid like an Everyone Has To Drink Pee Now Bill and the alert sounds to CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES THIS IS NOT A DRILL and you really wish you could just trust them to not go for the pee drinking bill

That there's what we call "Minnesota Ice." Ignore the ICE pun.

Fantastic comparative translation article. However, I'm always bemused by critics of what are basically dubscripts. Dubs are going to be adapted and scriptwritten to appeal to the target audience (the not-weebs). For those who want TLs closer to the JPN, there are subtitles for JPN audio.

I know I'm very late to this conversation, but as the translator of the "Mugen Gacha" light novel, I was the one who originally decided to render Gold as a Brit, as you can see in this clip

Have you ever come across a racial slur that's so ancient and so obscure that you don't even know it's even a slur when you first hear it? That's what happened to the person who tried captioning this disturbing scene from Bill Moyers "Rosedale" documentary depicting racial tensions in Queens.

Those SOBs really went there, hard.

The fact Hillary picked this limp noodle as her running mate is an eternal indictment against her and her campaign.

This deal is such a senseless capitulation that even the establishment frontrunner is calling it out for what it is.

Trying to wrap my head around the latest cave by the dems RE: the shutdown deal, and should I assume the dems interpreted the electoral wins last week as a mandate to keep sucking?

If I had no principles, I'd get rich quick fleeing trump supporters

Why should we trust the police for anything anymore?

I edit the English-language edition of this manga, and I requested it be added to my list in order to 1. preserve the full title and 2. use the press release call out "ASK FOR IT BY NAME!"

In honour of International Translation Day, please enjoy these shelves of my translation children!

I'm so excited to share my first article written for @animeherald.com. This year has marked the 20th anniversary of the Japanese drama "Densha Otoko" (Train Man), an endearing show based on an at least partly true story. If you ever find it, please watch it, it is wonderful.

Sorry, but I don't have much time for strangers who don't know words like "please" and "thanks." Or am I being just old and out of step with today's cultural norms?

Long live state capitalism!

Today's a good day to post this (Biden's SWEEPING! BIPARTISAN! gun legislation)

I read stories like this, and remember that the rubber-stamp supreme court put up a firewall only protecting the fed chief against these kinds of firings because they wanted to protect the economy. asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Tr...

What if we just...edit around the problem. 🤔 I needed to know. We needed to know. Here you go.

this is why I find the "don't give up on yourself, just follow your dreams" school of "you can make it in games/localization/subdiscpline" to be well-intentioned but generally bad advice. many people cannot afford to just grind until they make it. 1/3

Ten years ago, this would've been a five-alarm scandal, no excuses. Now it's a Tuesday.

Honestly, kudos to the New York Times for letting someone else have this scoop (yes, this is a real story)

Reposting this because it seems relevant today for some reason.

The lyrics to this song are an instruction manual, btw.

Seeing this honestly made me upset. Like witnessing the ship dump all the Dumont TV films in the East River in real time.

This is the kicker for this story for those of you out there who like maffs:

Republicans in West Virginia passed a bill that would allow health care providers to “visually or physically examine a minor child” for the purpose of identifying their “biological sex” without the “consent of the child’s parent, guardian, or custodian.” www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/03/gop-...

Dear Ethicist: Should I date Japanese women just to improve my Japanese?

I finally finished my essay on the grief of losing my wife Takako and coming back from it. I hope this resonates with you.

if we staff ICE with Uvalde police officers, they'll never enter schools
