If translation *alone* took six months, the pay rate would be so huge, it'd eclipse the golden years of the 90s and every manga translator I know wouldn't be juggling 10+ series. But no, it's one of the quickest, cheapest parts, for worse and for worse. You're drawing blood out of a stone, dinguses.

The Bluff (2026) Review: 19th Century Swashbuckling Meets Modern Revenge Actioner The Bluff (2026) understands what audiences have come to expect from action movies with Priyanka Chopra Jonas central to its success.

The Bluff is really fucking great y'all! It's John Wick and the Villainess revenge in 19th-century Cayman Islands where Priyanka Chopra gives us one of the best female action performances that we have gotten in the US.

Revenge Actioner but make it pirates.

My review:

AAA Games: See every solitary pore on a character's face. Count their eyelashes.

Indie Games: Wanna drive a van

AAA Games: Listen to your GPU squeal in agony as we simulate the blood pumping in each vein

All I want for my birthday is for everyone who sees this to buy #TheMangaBible or borrow it from their local library. If you buy it from an indie bookstore or bookshop.org that's even better because it shares the love even further.

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

Absolutely horrifying. This refugee survived genocide and died because of the gross incompetence of federal immigration agents.

Found a shojo manga I would like to see translated, Otousan wa Shinpaishou, about a meddlesome widower who worries about his daughter.

It's true, we're publishing "manga for grown-ups" under our new Takumigraphics imprint--Publishers Weekly has the scoop! https://ow.ly/21KU50YkwxB

It is the way that Black people are not talking about Davidson, at all.

We are talking about the ways in which people are showing up to defend him, in the name of disability justice, and in turn giving racism a pass. We're more angry at the BAFTAs and BBC than we are dude.

The existence, manifestation and projection of Tourette syndrome is not the intolerable problem. And nobody ever needs to apologize for that.

The existence, persistence and protection of racism is the intolerable problem. And nobody ever wants to apologize for THAT.

Im sorry I read this whole apology and while it is valid of his condition that he cannot control what he says due to his tics . He could have also included an apology to Jordan and Delroy , they literally had to hear a slur out loud as they present live , that humiliating.

Answerman - What's Really Happening With The Crunchyroll Store Delistings? The loss of a true one-stop shop for anime fans hurts the industry as a whole, and a drive to cut inventory costs may be to blame.

Oh, we're all surprised they weren't going to maintain a warehouse in Iowa and Texas?

Funny thing about this Answerman article; it went up the same day that CR announced its deep-saving sales with new items added over three weeks.

4/? And even in the midst of all these two phenomenal actors have accomplished, they are expected to show "understanding" at being called the N-word on a global stage. It also needs to be acknowledged that no matter what we do or accomplish, we can never escape this type of violence.

23.02.2026 01:05 πŸ‘ 223 πŸ” 45 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 2

3/? Why does no one ask demonstrate that same understanding for how offensive, humiliating and steeped in generational trauma the N-word is? Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo are a part of the most Oscar-nominated movie in history and are at the top of their craft.

2/? A few things about this. Tourette's is real. However, Tourette's does not create language. It messes with the filter of what the person says. The tick is that they say things that are offensive. HOWEVER, while there is all of this understanding going on about Tourette's...

1/? Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were called the N-word by a man with Tourette's at the Bafta Awards. The man, Jonathan Davidson, is the subject of a film about Tourette's, that is nominated at BAFTA. Alan Cummings addressed the audience thanking people for their understanding.

Instagram post by Misan Harriman (@misanharriman) and Hanna Ines Flint (@hannainesflint):

Tourette syndrome is an unpredictable disability. The person cannot control their ticks, no matter how profane they might be.

So it is outrageous that the BBC did not see fit to bleep out the racist slur uttered by an audience member with the syndrome, during the ceremony, despite the broadcast's hour delay.

Yet the BBC did manage to cut out Akinola Davies Jr saying "Free Palestine".

So what does it say about a publicly-funded organisation that is willing to censor winners' speeches but not racist slurs?

I feel for every Black person in the audience, watching at home, and seeing the clip spread online. I feel for the man with Tourettes who is now being ripped apart online.

The BBC has a lot to answer for.

FYI there was a whole HOUR delay delay. Not bleeping the slur but cutting out a reference to Free Palestine was indefensible.

Yeah...this isn't good at all 😬😬

Definitely looks like Crunchyroll is downsizing their storefront, imo πŸ’€

CR bought out the competition. Not for the logistics but to eliminate the competition

I hate how these assholes infiltrate everything. You can't be happy about a sports thing because MAGA jumps in the middle of it to ruin it. I can't wait for these fucks to lose everything so we can all enjoy things again.
