For some reason, Black Bullet feels like a Pokémon where you summon your own loli to fight other people's lolis, which is kind of cool, lol.

Remember Lisa Lisa?

Someone likes with English openings? I prefer the originals, although there are a few where the originals are in English, lol.

Such as...

Persona 5's openings.

I think Wolf's Rain.

Serial Experiments Lain.

All of which are interesting to watch.

This is a good decision. I don't want to see people getting punished for things they haven't done.

"This week, a federal court decided that police officers can make you unlock your phone, even by physically forcing you to press your thumb against it."

"This week, in an opinion authored by Judge Richard Tallman, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ruled against Payne."

"The officers searched through Payne's camera roll and found a video taken the same day, which appeared to show "several bags of blue pills (suspected to be fentanyl)."

"According to the suit, staff at the Great Plains Correctional Center locked several inmates in small shower stalls for extended periods, without access to basic amenities like adequate food and water. Most were placed in 3 square foot shower cells, though at least one was confined in an even smaller space. Confinement periods listed in the suit ranged from 24 hours to four days.

The suit describes harrowing conditions for inmates held in the shower stalls. They allege they were placed in stalls filled with human feces and deprived of bathroom breaks. Additionally, several inmates say the only water they had access to was scalding hot shower water."

"We should all have the freedom to read, share, and comment on the laws we must live by. But yesterday, the House Judiciary Committee voted 19-4 to move forward the PRO Codes Act (H.R. 1631), a bill that would limit those rights in a critical area."

I have nothing but condemnation for Facebook's (opaque) "Lantern" program and the barely disguised tech cartel it operates under.

We need to have a conversation about whether antitrust legislation is needed here, especially when programs like this come with risks to and free expression.

Do you trust Facebook with your personal data (from other tech companies)? A "well trusted" custodian of data? Well, that is what Lantern is. A non-consensual transfer of personal data to Facebook on the grounds of it being "suspicious".

"Federal judges will be limited from enhancing defendants' sentences based on conduct a jury acquitted them of, a practice that has drawn condemnation from a wide range of civil liberties groups, lawmakers, and jurists."
