THE LAST VOLUME! Stop!! Hibari-kun! Vol 3 by Hisashi Eguchi dropping in later December. Pre-reminder for preorders, we will have them go up in Mid-November, and we are secretly working on the "bonus item"!

this isn't me trying to quell your joy from seeing states turn blue, it's to not forget the big picture. usamericans collectively stopped caring many times before when the country swings left. we can't let that happen, we have to keep striving for meaningful change. focus, still alot of ways to go

remember to refocus. US bombs will still kill kids. israel will still receive money from the US. cuba will still be under US sanctions. palestine will continue to be under occupation. ice will continue under dems. never relent pressure on your new elected officials. we're not free til we're all free

The last time Democrats had something like this margin was in the first two years of the Obama administration (257-178), but that majority was soon crushed by the Tea Party wave in 2010. Political power doesn't last forever. Use it or lose it.

Absolute devastation and I love it. The MAGA movement's political power must be destroyed for democracy to endure. This is a decent start. Now they gotta tax the billionaires out of political power.

Give Your Joystick A Thrill... Metal & Lace: The Battle of, well, the Robo Babes. ;w; An erotic fighting game originally released for PC-98 under the title Ningyou Tsukai, Puppeteer. One game of a little wave of Japanese games to receive mid-90s DOS ports. 📖: Computer Gaming World, March 1994

"In the early 21st century, staged fighting has become a lucrative profession for female hardbodies, with dozens of legal arenas in the city. But for the leanest, meanest warriors, the real money comes from the illegal bouts held outside the city. It’s the hottest day of the summer and you’re baking inside a dilapidated warehouse. You — and your opponent — wear the latest in MECHA armor. The best fighting armor in the world."

An ad for Megatech's release of Puppeteer under the title Metal & Lace. It features anime artwork of a blonde android with segmented limbs and armour, and chun-li style hair buns.

Not saying it won't happen, but Iran is different from Iraq in the sense that it was never even close to popular, and also in the sense that there aren't troops on the ground. The implicit threat that Dems will get blamed if things go badly in Iran will be astronomically harder to spin.

My high school friend who wound up a career Washington bureaucrat has told me many times that folks in Congress really do pay attention to what people call them about, and what they don't. Not just for votes, but for what people will stay late to work on, and what they will talk about.

Here's an easy script for you to follow if you'd like to specifically call your representatives about trans rights

The running thing with YouTube's UI is from week to week it could get better, or it could get worse, but what's *really* important to the YouTube team is that it frequently *change in some way*, so I can't build up muscle memory.

We don't have to wait for the next Congress. Democrats have the leverage to get things done as early as next week, when they return for the lame duck session. Bob Kuttner talked to the people who can make that happen. prospect.org/2026/11/05/d...

With much congressional business still unfinished, the repudiation of Trump could lead some Republicans to vote with Democrats to block administration priorities.

The recount may not be finished yet, but Scott Colom is already an authentic Congressional Democrat in one sense: He has sent me two text messages asking for money since yesterday

So I've been monitoring the colony of rats in the crawlspace under my house, and let me tell you, they are *really* agitated about the election results. One of them tried to bite me
