Even back in like 2007, as someone that wasn't all that tuned into what was going on in the EN dub scene, I heard that the vibes were off with this guy. It was basically an open secret and they let him get away with it for so long because he was one of the biggest dub actors in the US.

it is 2006. I am warning my friends that Vic Mignogna is unsafe and not to be trusted. it is 2026. I am warning the internet that Vic Mignogna is still unsafe and still not to be trusted. WHEN WILL THIS END?!

The big disconnect in online media discussion appears to be between those talking about blorbos as if they are works of fiction created by real people with influences both conscious and unconscious, and those talking as if blorbos are real people

What can you do? CALL. WRITE. SCREAM. The bill is up for a vote THIS WEDNESDAY. Call your Senator. Dem. Republican. Whomever. Right now, it's a solid R bill, but they're looking for Dems to take it across the finish line. Let them know how badly it stinks. www.defendonlineprivacy.com/screen/

Defend Online Privacy: Stop the SCREEN Act!

The Senate Commerce Committee will vote on the SCREEN Act on August 5. ACT NOW to stop it!

What's more nefarious than age-verification? The chilling effect on platforms. The threat of prosecution is likely enough to get a lot of retailers to end sales of politically "harmful" categories entirely. No more fantasy, no more sex education, no more LGBTQ+ resources. That's the real goal.

And for the really bad news? They've put a target on VPNs. Sites are required to identify (and age-verify) any US citizen, regardless of whether they're using a VPN. In fact, the default is to get the ID and biometrics of EVERYONE unless you can somehow prove their not a US citizen.

"VPNs are a privacy and security tool used by millions of internet users every day, and their use should not be treated as suspect. It is particularly galling that the SCREEN Act forces users who intentionally take steps to protect their privacy to identify themselves."

Even worse, it gets enforced by conservative state AGs (who previous threatened Target for selling Pride merchandise to children) AND the Trump FTC, which is absolutely salivating to have this power.

The SCREEN Act is not just another age-verification bill — it goes much further than anything passed at the state-level or in other countries. 1. The bill doesn't just target porn sites. It goes after *any* site that allows material "harmful" to minors. You'd have to scan your face to use Google.

here's a fun lil exercise for cis people: how many articles would a publication have to print calling for your extermination before you would expect people who care about you to stop giving them money? and how would you feel if their excuse for still supporting them is some fuckass crossword puzzle?

I love how scalpers act like they own pokemon cards now. like "this isn't a kid's game anymore" like yes it is. it's still a kids game that used to be easily accessible to kids until you ruined it. it's not and never was for you to hoard.

Remembering about ~3yrs ago when I ventured out into a whiter part of town to shop for shoes. Random people would come up and ask me where to find stuff and I would be like "??? how the fuck would I know", and it eventually dawned on me that they thought I worked there because I was masking.

It’s a lot of young people raised online, well before they can understand how complicated morality really is and - importantly - before they can see that complexity in themselves. From experience, the realization that you, too, fall under a shade of grey is *crushing* if you’re used to moralizing.

Literally what fandom discourse has turned into I fear.

I am 53 and have been essentially forced into retirement. I thought it was just me, until I found an entire community of women in the same situation on Instagram. So many of us have just been told that we simply have nothing to contribute to society anymore.

I keep thinking about how often the mass layoffs in media, government and big companies, especially women and people of color, will lead to poorer outcomes for years because the people who would point out potential problems or blind spots were deemed non-essential, a "bad fit", and/or too expensive.

Tried to sign up for an account on a govt website and they emailed me a verification code but it took a really long time to reach my inbox. When I tried to enter it into the site to complete my registration, it told me it ended my session for being inactive for over 30m. lmao

As we transition away from paper libraries and blueprints to digital files on software platforms that have shorter support lifetimes, our vulnerability to losing keystone knowledge increases exponentially. We have built our civilization on a house of cards.

while it is definitely correct that millennials who couldnt afford a house until they were 40 have shit all over this style over the last half decade, i can definitely confirm that my friends whose parents were helping them buy 325k homes in ohio back in like 2012 were absolutely into it

No fuck off we're not calling this "Millennial grey" this shit was dictated completely by boomer retiree house flippers we absolutely had NO say in this

Millennial grey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A kitchen with beige grey floors, drab walls, brushed steel appliances, and grey granite countertops.
Grey floors and furnishings are said to appeal to Millennial tastes.
Millennial grey refers to a desaturated colour scheme that is said to appeal to the interior design sensibilities of the Millennial Generation in the early 21st century.[1] Cultural historian Kassia St. Clair attributed its widespread adoption to a desire among Millennials for "a flexible, sensible choice that will last years, hide any stains, and can be adapted to different schemes."[1] Some have diagnosed Millennial grey as a reaction to the warm hues of the late 20th century.[2]

Millennial grey is polarising, particularly when used with imitation-wood-texture sheet vinyl flooring, which many describe as depressing, soulless, or corporate.[3][4] Although attributed to Millennials, the grey colour scheme is often chosen by house flippers, vacation rental owners, or other people who do not actually live in the greyed properties.[3] Thus, the occupant of the property—Millennial or not—has little say in its colour scheme, particularly when deployed for fixtures such as flooring.[4] The greying may have been driven, in part, by a desire to prepare properties for sale in a manner thought to be least offensive to the average buyer.[5] Given the housing crises gripping many countries in the early to mid-21st century, buyers and renters may feel they have no choice but to accept a property decked in Millennial grey.[4]

To the extent that Millennial grey is said to be enjoyed by Millennials, it is also said to be loathed by Generation Z.[1][2]

You know it’s hurricane season when BlueMAGA accounts with dogs in their pfp start wishing death on millions of people. 60 million people in this one.

Also, chart people, if you wanna get granular about it, real wage growth fell in both April and May of 2026. I don't think you can really discount the accuracy of people's economic pessimism when it's pretty easy to anticipate the negative effects that the Iran war will have on fuel prices.
