lot of new players struggling with Kirk in this patch. number one: DO NOT let him set up double axe handle

yes, just eat the throw. even having him land Captain's Prerogative is better than losing 40% and then having to watch this bullshit in the corner

this list is not in any order, and i am not familiar with most of these artists, so an inclusion on this is not an endorsement of anything! if ive made a mistake anywhere, just let me know!

I haven't spent my whole life responding to people being rude, or stupid, or dangerous with knee jerk compassion. It's a new habit. The first time I did that as the lead for my lab, it was because the guy genuinely was so good natured that I knew something had to be off. But the other two times were just me going, alright, lets see if it always goes this well, and so far, it has. I'm almost 30, and I just figured out that the #1 reason people are shitty are because they are going through shit.

I don't think you have, like, a moral obligation to respond to people being jerks with knee jerk compassion. But it has made my life so much easier the last four months that I would recommend trying. For your own sake. Please.

Washington Post is paywalling the article but it looks like Taylor Farms — a consumer bagged salad brand that also supplies produce to grocers and fast food chains like Taco Bell, Walmart, McDonald's, Chipotle, Burger King, KFC, and Meijer —may be at least one of the sources of the current cyclosporiasis outbreak.

Mafia Sitter 50% OFF Sale

Regular price: ¥3,000 → ¥1,500 Until August 4

https://alice-books.com/item/show/10562-3

Mafia Sitter, which has been available through this store, will be discontinued and the remaining stock will be disposed of on August 5 :'(

To clear the remaining inventory, it will be available at 50% off from July 20 to August 4.

Sale price: ¥1,500 (regularly ¥3,000, shipping not included)

I ended up printing far more English copies than there was demand for, so I'm now left with a lot of extra stock.

The copies I have at home will still be sold for ¥2,000 (my event price), but the 50% off sale only applies to the copies available through Alice Books.

Since this was my dream first manga volume, I chose a high-quality printer, which made the production cost much higher than expected. As a result, the retail price ended up feeling too high for what people expected, and I simply didn't market it very well.

If you have friends overseas who enjoy manga, I'd really appreciate it if you could consider giving them a copy as a gift. It's a classic buddy story, so it may appeal to fans of that genre.

link to the specific video from the screenshot above here:

it's part of their series "A People's History of Native America," playlist link here.

and while I'm here I'll plug some other channels because PBS does solid work. also, iirc they are (...were? I'm not actually sure what applies to them now that they've been defunded) legally required to include captions and they actually do that, so you won't run into auto-generated nonsense.

I haven't checked out PBS Documentaries yet, but they have some stuff tackling similar topics. (I am adding things to my watchlist as we speak.) channel link here.

PBS Terra doesn't pull punches on climate change. channel link here.

PBS Eons has some super cool videos on the history of life on Earth, channel here, and Storied does awesome work on linguistics and mythology, channel here.

aaand while we're talking about defunded USA public media that doesn't pull punches when critiquing our history and government, I am once again going to plug a couple NPR podcasts. Throughline does deep-dives on history, culture, laws, and so on (link here); I'm especially partial to their We the People miniseries, which covers our rights from the Amendments. Code Switch covers culture, focusing on race and minority groups, and has been doing some especially good coverage on what the Trump administration's fuckery means on a practical level (link here). (these aren't the only NPR podcasts that talk about this stuff, but they're the big ones afaik.)

I'd like to share with y'all a project I've poured my heart and soul into over the last couple of years: a database cataloguing every single older queer science fiction book I've managed to track down, consisting of just over 200 titles with LGBT characters/themes & by LGBT authors, spanning over a century (1880-2000) 🚀
