This shot from the 5th episode of Macross Frontier #anime shows off the huge scale of Island 1.
Sheryl drags Alto around as her personal tour guide, but things slowly begin to change between them. We've seen Sheryl be a bitchy super star, but now she is slowly revealed to be someone who appreciates being treated like a normal person.
And Alto, who is actually a super star in his own right but is on the run from his family and stardom, is the perfect person to connect with her.

They say "rights," we say "restrictions" #DRM are not for your digital /rights/, they are /restrictions/ imposed on you. Celebrate your own intellect by staying away from DRM. Learn more about DRM-free living at https://u.fsf.org/1aj

EFF covers the awful proposed cybercrime treaty again (it's a human rights disaster). They make good points.

Hidden in the mostly-forgotten 2010 Digital Economy Act were powers to regulate the UK's domain name system. On July 20, 2023, DCIT published a consultation - which closes August 31 - on implementing these: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-consultation-on-uk-related-domain-names-powers #UKInternet #DomainNameSystem #Nominet

Wait! WUT?! A new #macross #anime being developed by... Sunrise?!
https://macross.jp/news-detail/24008/
"At the production Sunrise, the new "Macross" animation project has started!"
Excited for more Macross, of course, but also very curious why Sunrise is handling it rather than Satelight.

Do your kids a favor and acquaint them with Studio Ghibli. Magical movies of profound beauty and humanism. An antidote to modern animation, frenetic and snarky at all times.
The Girl who leapt through space. Another #anime set in space but with more cute girls (the other one is more old school).
This place is like an ocean of anime nostalgia with waves turning up on a beach every now and then.
I hate URL shorteners. They make it harder to see what the destination page is about.
Space Battleship Yamato 2199 was an interesting remake of the original. Sci-fi ship action. #anime

Psychologist Dr. Liadh Timmins from Swansea University in the United Kingdom is doing research into how social stigma impacts the mental health of asexual people.
She is looking for people to participate. #lgbt
At this point, I feel like I'm committing some sort of sin, if I use a dynamic type.
