U.S. forces are retreating. That's what this means.
"Pulled out and returned to their home stations in the U.S. as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns" is a fancy way of saying the Iranian military has the U.S. military in retreat.
This is unbelievably embarrassing.

WATCH: All U.S. bombers deployed to RAF Fairford in England have been pulled out and returned to their home stations in the United States as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns across Europe.

the Ohio Democratic party is purging its ranks by forcing trans people to either resign or go along with politicians who threaten their existence and calling a pride group an "unwelcoming distraction." If we're just a distraction, then win without our votes and get rid of the fake "pride" orgs 👍🏾

hbomberguy had a great joke about how he didn't think YouTube videos had souls until he experienced ones that don't. I have been feeling that about *everything* over the last few years. You don't notice fundamental values like "thoughtfulness" and "human connection" until you see their absence

More than what Frank said, I think a big reason VGHF has been able to build trust is that we've approached our collections in a way that is human and thoughtful, instead of just acting like wolves tearing at meat. If all you care about is Stuff, then you'll end up treating people's lives like Stuff
I think I'm thinking about this way too hard but like, this is really dehumanizing? Like when we inherit a collection or help people whose loved ones made games but can't speak for themselves anymore, we separate "collectibles" from archival/personal and we handle the latter with care and tact.

It sucks that devs can’t even be excited for their games coming out anymore. Because everyone knows that means mass layoffs before the reviews even start dropping

Netflix Shoots For Its Own ‘Heated Rivalry’ With ‘Icebreaker,’ Casts Daisy Jelley & Newcomer Connor Simos
Connor Simos
How badly does everyone want their own “Heated Rivalry”? Pretty badly, apparently. Netflix’s “Icebreaker” is the latest sign that streamers are ramping up their YA and New Adult romance adaptations, particularly books with enormous built-in fandoms, and suddenly the ice rink itself looks like some of the hottest real estate in television.
Prime Video already has arguably the closest comparison in “Off Campus,” its adaptation of Elle Kennedy’s bestselling college-hockey romance novels.

No, SungWon is absolutely correct here. The insistence on sticking with the Japanese title when there is already a perfectly acceptable English one is utterly asinine. Nobody does this in Japanese literature, or film, or any other art form. It's just the anime nerds who insist on being obtuse.
This "fucking weebs" genre of elitism is so silly. Why should the English version of titles be the standard? Why should MAL use the English names for anime by default? He doesn't even provide a good reason for this stance.

One of the things I focus on is how it is an incubator for EdTech platforms with the ambition to hyperscale.
Alpha may only have a few hundred students nationwide, but its founders are developing MANY extractive EdTech brands.
