First thing that came to mind reading this:

At one of my old jobs, we were hounded by the government over some regulatory issues that at one juncture resulted in us being ordered to destroy about a ton of product in an industrial oven.

I'll never forget the person the agency sent to the facility that day to ensure that all the bureaucratic ceremony and pedantry was carried out to the letter: some haggard, sunken yenta that looked to be pushing 60 and dragging about 80 extra pounds around. She was completely festooned with cats on her suit jacket, jewelry, shoes, and scarf.

Going on a decade since then, not much has changed.

There's some applicable permutation of the adage "no atheists in foxholes" (which I wouldn't endorse unqualifiedly), except with 'feminists' instead.

Somebody get The Imp in here so we can get to brainstorming.

Anyone who wants it can find the original (selectable) text here

It starts right under the tweet screen shot with >フランス (France)

I spent more time than I want to admit transcribing it back myself before I thought to just search a snippet...

Kanji are hard but the grammar is highly regular in a lot of ways compared to English.

Never says [they] are false...

Talmudic mindset:

The 'truth' doesn't matter, all that matters is what you can get away with using rhetorical smoke & mirrors.

More and more I see it as the direct cladistic intellectual predecessor of (((postmodernism))).

Just put scare-quotes around truth when it's time to deconstruct someone else's viewpoint, without substantively addressing any of their claims.

Then, ignore that you just did that when it's time to exhort your viewpoint.

If pressed on this obvious contradiction, retreat to the motte and cry about identity politics. Ignore the metaphysical/epistemological/ontological connections between the notions of 'identity' and 'truth' that further muddle your special pleading. Pray that no one you are trying to convince with this chicanery has ever pondered so much as a syllogism.

Anyone happen to know the OG painting?

Looks like it might be a Beksinski.

We're still helming the golem, goyim. Our hand just slipped a little. We're still in full control of it, so you better watch out.

Got another song for ya.

Somebody already mentioned One Piece - I actually prefer Fairy Tail (less filler, plot moves more quickly)

That said, the recent OP live-action is an absolute breath of fresh air in the adaptation department and tears right through the plot while still hitting all the right notes.

Pretty sure the manga author held the whole deal hostage on getting an executive producer role, and that shines through: no "updates for a new, modern audience that we'll pander into existence," just a competent execution for the loyal, core, existing fanbase that's already there, willing and waiting (gee what a concept).

Outside suggestion that's become more obscure over the decades: Outlaw Star for pirates in space. Sort of the neglected younger sibling of Cowboy Bebop (same studio, same year and everything)

The Tales from the Flat Earth series by Tanith Lee for probably the ninth or tenth time.

I would emphatically indicate it for anyone curious about how a traditional, non-woke 'feminine sensibility' would come across in fantasy fiction. A nigh-Shakespearean cadence of thought with a bevy of vocabulary building.

Here's a cucky pseudointellectual complaining about how the gender roles are "dated and binary." So, completely missing the deep intuition the author has about the way men & women (and effeminate men and so on...) actually are, 'fantasy' setting aside, because as usual reality doesn't comport with his misguided and simplistic ideals.

How's Arch holding up?

Was planning on getting back into that when I build a new computer around the end of the year.

My gender is I'm the entire universe

Thus was the essential narcissism-bordering-on-solipsism of Troonacy unintentionally yet ever-so-neatly captured in a single sentence.

KMS because the universe of human discourse refuses to revolve around my neurotic self-obsession

And the gods of heavy-handed irony enjoyed a side of weeping with their raucous laughter.

For 'diametric opposite of $CURRENT_YEAR' with good role models of all kinds, ya really can't go wrong with Ghibli.

Emphatically seconded.

Underneath the sketches and the ordinariness, there's a lot of endearing and surprisingly deep...what I'd venture to call existential commentary, nicely packaged for 'all ages' and refreshingly lighthearted compared to the R&M-tier stuff that's strewn about over here.

This sells it pretty well.

Upvoted for asking the important questions. Can't be resting on spectral laurels.

privated all the videos

Standard boilerplate in every Cover Corp. contract, which I kind of get.

Putting the recent Nijisanji meltdown aside, the Japanese corporate penchant for fastidiousness where brand image is concerned will serve them very well in resisting the siren song of globalist subversion.

"Stormfags" White goyim thinking, speaking and acting in accordance with the natural human impulse of self-interest "chimp out" rhetorically object to the ubiquitous and shamelessly adjacent juxtaposition of:

My Fellow White People™: it's categorically evil for you to think, speak or act in your self-interest, ever. Individually or collectively, socially or politically, or even merely rhetorically.

...with:

I'm proud to speak up for my fellow Jews in this dark and fearful $CURRENT_YEAR™...
