    Trump asks for conviction to be overturned after immunity ruling
  • I hate to say this, but the only way to save US democracy is for Biden to use this new "absolute immunity" to arrest or assassinate the SCOTUS and DJT and other enemies of pluralistic democracy.

    I doubt that DJT and his allies would hesitate to do the same to their perceived "enemies"

  • Isekai Suicide Squad • Suicide Squad ISEKAI - Episodes 1-3 discussion
  • Third episode: We got a hint of it last episode, but true to isekai tradition, it looks like our MCs have gained OP powers on top of their existing supervillain abilities.

    The writing was decent with one funny bit with Rick Flagg attempting to use the bits of local language he learned from the orcs.

    And also Deadshot's misinterpretation of his relationship to another character. Deadshot is an over-serious character most of the time.

    Overall so far it's been a decent watch. The writers, directors and editors know what they're doing.

    Not boring and even some funny highlights.

  • That was pretty good actually.

    I definitely wasn't expecting that, but I'm still not sure what D's plan was, unless it was suicide-by-ranger

    A good place to leave off, and I do want to watch more

    Then there's this guy still around...

    Well done Fighter D! See you next season in 2025!

  • Chart: MAL+Anilist Followers Gained Season Aggregate Spring 2024 Wks 1-13
  • I would guess that some age ranges and other subgroups of women are also underrepresented on /r/anime, Twitter and MAL+Anilist.

    The Anime Corner charts show that there is demand for female-targeted shows.

    Vampire Dormitory, Duke Of Death and his Maid, and Crow Doesn't Choose Lord were in that middle range over there.

  • Chart: MAL+Anilist Followers Gained Season Aggregate Spring 2024 Wks 1-13
  • Bombed both in JP Twitter and on MAL+Anilist:

    • Tonbo!
    • Crow Does Not Choose The Lord
    • Tonari No Yokai-San (weeps)
    • Astro Note
    • Vampire Dormitory
    • Rinkai!

    Bombed in JP Twitter, but decent MAL+Anilist:

    • Re-Monster
    • Misfit of Demon Academy, S2 Part 2
    • Banished Hero
    • Gods Games We Play

    Bombed on MAL+Anilist, but decent in JP Twitter:

    • Boukyaku Battery
    • Highspeed Etoile

    Of course Twitter and MAL, Anilist users aren't representative of the total anime viewing audience, so maybe, for example, Tonbo! may have been a hit among kids or professional golfers or some other high-spending demographic who don't use Twiter, MAL, or Anilist.

    Girls Band Cry - Episode 13 discussion
  • The cynical view is PT Barnum's "There's no such thing as bad publicity", or more appropriately in this case Oscar Wilde's "The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about."

    I understand Momoka, and therefore Nina's strong motivation to succeed on their own musical merits and not be pop sellouts though.

  • Kenka Dokugaku • Viral Hit - Episode 12 discussion
  • The ending felt like a cop out, but a feel good story was good for a change.

    A nice way to end the season! I really enjoyed the writing on this show!

    The MC Hobin's highs and lows were thrilling! and I really looked forward to this every week.

  • The Broad Appeal of the Elsa Dress (NYTimes gift link for a couple of weeks)

    www.nytimes.com The Broad Appeal of the Elsa Dress

    Wearing a costume from “Frozen” in daily life has become a pastime for many children who identify with the character, regardless of gender.

    The Broad Appeal of the Elsa Dress

    archived version

    AMAB kids love wearing the Elsa dress too!

    (Crass commercialism, and blonde haired blue eyed white lead character issues aside)

    Hopefully this indicates that diverse gender expression becoming even more socially acceptable as the Frozen generation matures into adulthood.

    Does anyone know where in Japan this is? Solved!

    In Yuru Camp S03e11, this decommissioned trolley is mentioned as being in "Fujisawa Nagasawa Park" but I can't find any references to such a park online.

    Posts with corrupted or missing thumbnail images

    Some recent posts that are supposed to have thumbnails have broken image icons for both thumbnail and "auto expand" image.

    Some posts, thumbnails appear, but then the "auto expand" image is corrupt.

    Sometimes, vice versa

    e.g.

    https://ani.social/post/4142945

    https://ani.social/post/4102788

    https://ani.social/post/4099651

    https://ani.social/post/4077407

    https://ani.social/post/4076700

    https://ani.social/post/4064665

    https://ani.social/post/4063550

    https://ani.social/post/4062023

    ...and others...

    When viewed from the web interface, with auto expand turned on, obviously.

    I know some of these used to look okay before something happened.

    Is this related to disabling iframes? https://ani.social/post/2612139?scrollToComments=true

    Vintage Tram, Japan

    From: https://offbeatjapan.org/abandoned-vintage-trolley-overgrown/

    One of a series of photos of the same location and model:

    https://offbeatjapan.org/rural-forest-path-vintage-trolley/

    https://offbeatjapan.org/vintage-tram-nature-scene/

    https://offbeatjapan.org/abandoned-antique-train-forest/

    https://offbeatjapan.org/rustic-cabin-serene-nature-retreat/

    There's a tag saying "Chinese" but the destination sign in the front says 銀座 i.e. "Ginza" which implies this tram ran in Tokyo. Also, this website is "offbeatjapan.org" and the photographer Jordy Meow's brief biography says he's based in Tokyo.

    i.e. I'm pretty darn sure this was taken in Japan
