80s anime-style music video.

The song is decent too!

Hopefully everyone made it out safely, but I doubt that there are any reliable sources for that.

The disinformation campaign on Facebook targeting migrants has subsided for now, until somebody needs another immigration crisis.

Migrants are overwhelmingly dependent on Facebook for information, and the sources that they follow are riddled with disinformation. https://www.techtransparencyproject.org/articles/inside-world-misinformation-targeting-migrants-social-media

I guess they can't use the disparaging phrase "straight to video" anymore.

Don't laugh.

In an election where the polls are statistically tied in the battleground states, a handful of voters could make a difference.

To be fair, the Russians were onto something with their cope cages…

Back before they caught up with drones.

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Like @TheTechnician27@lemmy.world said, this is closing a loophole that was in the original grocery bag reduction law.

Okay, but will it be replaced by something better, or just the most ruthless, violent and opportunistic who can rush in (heh) and fill the power vacuum first?

More and more high profile athletes are displaying their love of anime.

High quality oriental sword that took over 2 years to transport across the Silk Road.

Kept in my cellar in ideal storage conditions.

Don't try to lowball me, I know what I got.

A pretty good summary of the DOJ documents in the Russian propaganda campaign.

The movie just recently became available for streaming, so I got a chance to watch it.

Mostly a recap of the first 2 seasons, but from Nagi and Reo's point-of-view.

I felt disappointed by this:

Nagi isn't the most captivating or motivated character. He has a one-dimensional personality and this movie does nothing to change that.

He spends most of the movie moaning about what a hassle it is to do just about anything: Playing soccer, brushing his teeth, even eating.

Incredible football super powers aside, he just isn't interesting enough to be the subject of a 90 minute movie.

It was nice to watch the group elimination stage from Team V's point of view, but it's presented almost as quick highlights, with maybe the best part being against Nico's Team Y, although more screen time is given to their fateful match against Isagi's Team Z.

And that's a problem, because we already saw what happened in V vs Z in excruciating detail in the TV episodes.

Assuming anyone who is investing time and money to watch this has already watched the show already knows exactly what happens, so what was the value add here?

Although the production did animate just about everything from scratch for the movie, there was disappointingly little actual new story.

And the movie production quality was also not that great.

The TV show is famous for its Powerpoint-style graphics, and the movie was only slightly above that.

It felt like a missed opportunity to "fill in the gaps" of the action that's happening between the Powerpoint slides.

To sum up, it feels like a lot of poor production and concept decisions.

Just when you thought it was over...

Redstone/Paramount to consider a competing bid for the company...

Apologies for the slightly off-topic post...

It's not looking good, folks...

George R R Martin confirms he hasn't written anything for the 2 remaining A Song Of Ice And Fire books since 2022.

He wishes that they were finished.

The last published book in the series, A Dance With Dragons, was published in July 2011, now 13 years ago.

Obligatory song that's now 12 years old... https://youtu.be/j7lp3RhzfgI

A little off topic, but the whole Japanese "utsukushii" and/or "kawaii" aesthetic... Where does it come from?

Descriptions of "utsukushi" things and moments in "The Pillow Book" from the Heian period goes back to the year 1002.

Apparently unrelated to the massive Netflix anime leak, the Re:Zero movie length premiere has also leaked.

This one appears to be related to a canceled showing at Japan Expo in Paris, similar to the massive CR premiere leak from a convention in Washington couple of seasons ago.
