@steveyurko.com’s art for @onepiecepodcast.com this week is even more S-tier than usual. I guffawed.

Hour 24 of reconsidering my stance on whether Shanks is evil or not

Amazon has had many opportunities to create dubbing projects filled with authentic storytelling, emotional connection, and believability. Instead they have chosen to create AI slop dubs of Banana Fish, Vinland Saga, and No Game No life. Many are calling these dubs "insulting" and "disrespectful".

Chainsaw Man is simultaneously worthy of serious discussion for its heartfelt look at society and cycles of abuse and dehumanization, and it's also like, a fantastic nonstop barrage of shitposts

I was delighted to come back on the @onepiecepodcast.com for the first time since moving to Japan! A great chapter and a great time!

55th place! Considering I had the mega back luck birth year last year (and WOW did it feel like it), things👏are👏looking👏up👏

Should I rewatch Stranger Things? Hell yeah or hell nah?

WHAT THE FUCK

A friend told me that his roommate was just walking down the street when ICE pointed a gun in his face. It is so much worse than you’re being told. Or shown.

As a former-but-longtime Michigan resident and Chainsaw Man fan, I have to ask… WHY MICHIGAN?! We’re not the most violent state or the seat of the NRA or anything…! #chainsawman

a script from @indivisible.org! (I'm probably going to add how harmful this will be in Ossoff's reelection campaign, bc we'll be blaming the entire party when people's healthcare premiums are so high they can't afford insurance)

just a reminder that the 8 Dems who folded need to vote again later in the week (thanks to dumb senate procedure, unsurprisingly) light their phones up tomorrow at 9AM

POLO GRAM

The Summer Hikaru Died is probably the anime series to beat this year, no? Either that or Zenshu? I know it got renewed for S2, but that ending was some “Where’s Annie”-level shit. My husband and I both went “!!!!!??????!!!!!!”

Donald Trump apparently hoping to kill upwards of a million people before the first year of his term’s up.

Six. Hundred. Thousand. But budget cuts while Trump builds a ballroom.

Let this be an immutable bell, ringing throughout the country, as a signal to the Democratic Party. This boundless sincerity and conviction we've witnessed these last several months, manifesting in victory over corruption and complacency. Change your hearts or be left behind.

On behalf of the entire country and Americans living abroad: thank you, NYC.

i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up

OPLA casting continues being ON POINT

My new take is that the idea that people in Osaka are friendlier than people in Tokyo is a total myth. They’re just more outgoing.

Many full time creatives have “invisible safety nets” like bread-winning partners, trust funds, external support, etc. No shame on anyone, but it creates a false vision of success. The cost of going to cons alone on top of hoping to eat as a freelancer are untenable, IMO.

It makes a little sense that it’s in the context of Netflix stuff, but… WHAT. WHAT!? WHAAAAAAAAT. He’s post-time skip Luffy, too!!

I think a lot about the chance we had at the start of COVID to finally become a more compassionate, collectivist nation, and how profoundly we were failed not only by the sociopathic greed of the ruling class but by each other. It doesn’t mean we won’t get there, but the lost opportunity haunts me.

Indicted for protesting, for using our first amendment rights. Horrifying. Help a fellow One Piece fan out if you can.

i hate to be that bitch, but my sources are telling me this early voting data has gotten Zohran's people rightly spooked and y'all better stop assuming this one's in the bag. GOTV

Every politician should be saying messages like this.

Protesters around the world are using the Straw Hat Pirate Jolly Roger as a symbol of freedom. We plan on doing a detailed report on this phenomenon in the coming weeks. In the meanwhile, here is an updating list of countries where the Jolly Roger has appeared:

Also, Makoto Yukimura said trans rights.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

A very hard-fought gatcha win for this turd-nugget

A victim of the shooting at the ICE facility is UNCONSCIOUS, in critical care, may not survive, his wife is about to give birth, and ICE IS KEEPING HIM SHACKLED TO HIS HOSPITAL BED: I just unlocked a new level of rage. www.npr.org/2025/09/27/n...

ICE arrested press tonight. They threw a tear gas canister into the press last week. This was not an accident. Release Steve Held.

Some transgender people see only darkness in front and behind them. The current climate is especially accelerating this. Transgender people just want to love the people they love and live their lives as themselves. Let's all join hands and change the world🫶🌏🫶

THERE IS A FELLOW GAIJIN PLAYING HADES 2 ON HIS SWITCH 2 ON THE SUBWAY I want to hug him

It’s nearly 1 am in Japan, and Hades II comes out in 10 minutes. I need the internet to acknowledge my strength in going to bed and not showing up to work having played Hades II all night.

The new Chainsaw Man movie is fantastic. Music, writing, animation, all of it. Long live Chainsaw Man.
