Yozakura Quartet. A story set in a town connected to two worlds. The world of youkai and the world of humans.

Intriguingly, one season is darker and more serious, and another season is more cutesy and upbeat. #anime

Looks like a Texas book ban law has also been blocked by a judge for violating the First Amendment.

Sakura Trick. A fun romance #anime where the girls fall in love with each other and kiss.

Imagine playing baseball while dressed like that, lol. #anime #littlebusters

"The fragmentation among friends that follows Twitter’s collapse is exactly the kind of problem that Mastodon and the social web solves for. Imagine that you don’t have to pick and choose which new platform to adopt, or make and maintain a million accounts—because you can follow anyone regardless of which platform they’re on. That’s our reality."

Uhh, the fediverse has a huge fragmentation problem.

Yu Yu Hakusho. A precursor to Bleach, that #anime which I'm sure that everyone here knows about.

Ghosts. Supernatural powers. Out of body experiences. Investigating spiritual cases on the behalf of the underworld.

Soul Eater. Three teams at the Death Weapon Meister Academy must gather enough souls from evil people to create a death scythe. #anime

Needless. After World War III, there is a great big contaminated crater where Tokyo once stood, and within it are people with strange powers called fragments. #anime

Not focusing on any of the benefits at all? Just saying "capitalism bad"?

I prefer the real one though, back in the 2D world.

"A group of federal prison guards raped his daughter and got away with it. Not only did they get away with it, but they got away with it even after they admitted they did it.

Berman's daughter, Carleane, was one of at least a dozen women who were abused by corrupt correctional officers at FCC Coleman, a federal prison complex in Florida. In December, a Senate investigation revealed that those correctional officers had admitted in sworn interviews with internal affairs investigators that they had repeatedly raped women under their control."

"That was how she met Jorge Hernandez, a charismatic, tattooed military veteran who recruited several young women, including Berman, to wire money and pick up packages of molly. Everyone got busted after an irate girlfriend ratted out Hernandez's business partner to the police."

Her crime appears to be delivering parcels of drugs.

Lawmakers: Yes, this is what we want to use it for.

Pressure groups: Yes, this is what we want to use it for.

Human rights activists: This is what they want to do with it.

Idiot: No, it won't do anything like that.

If you follow the sort of things they say, it's completely unsurprising that they would want to use this for that.
