World's longest-serving death row inmate acquitted in Japan
  • I’ve seen it reported that if you count plea bargains as convictions, which is much closer to how Japan calculates conviction rate, that the US conviction rate is essentially the same as the Japanese one.

  • Crackhead
  • I love how every iteration of the word following “highly” is wrong in a slightly different, and unpredictable way.

    Highly unpprictable!

    Highly unperactable!

    Highly unprritable!

    caution: Highly unpericable!

  • If a movie was being made about your life, what actor/actress would you have play as you?
  • Aubrey Plaza. She’s way hotter than me (that’s kinda the point), and not half Japanese (will make the racist parts confusing and/or hilarious) but she could definitely pull off my resting bitch face and general disdain for everything.

  • California governor signs law banning all plastic shopping bags at grocery stores.
  • In Hawaii every county did it independently around 10 years ago. Some counties have done it better than others. I don’t think I’ve had a single plastic bag on the big island in that entire time, but when I’m on Oahu I occasionally get them (for example the Apple Store thicker plastic bags that are “reusable”—somewhat true).

    I don’t see people treating reusable bags as disposable, but it’s also completely acceptable here to just bring a cart full of stuff unbagged from target to your car here if you didn’t bring bags (groceries people will get paper if they forgot). I don’t think that’s as acceptable other places.

  • Avatar: The Last Airbender: Season 2 | Now in Production | Netflix
  • Way better than anticipated for me. Hard to see how they could have done much better. Sure they change things, but they actually did a really good job working together some plot lines into a shortened version. It’s not the animated show and it never could be, but I really think it’s pretty good as long as you can separate them in your head.

  • When someone list "Star Trek" as their favorite television show.
  • Highly recommend lower decks (try getting through the first few eps though, it does take a little to find its legs). I am also not a fan of Discovery and Picard. Strange New Worlds is okay, a few really strong eps (i do adore the design work though, I’m very happy with the original series era being modernized like this)

  • Do deaf people play media with sound on?
  • FYI, We know the way is in Samoan and Tokelauan.

    Fun fact, Disney worked with the University of Hawaii on a Hawaiian language dub of the movie and Auili’i Cravalho voiced Moana in that version as well. I watch it on occasion to practice my very poor Hawaiian language skills.

  • Harris puts Trump on defensive in fiery presidential debate
  • To be fair, I support free healthcare, including gender affirming care, for absolutely everyone. Which means, yes, I do want to do transgender operations on illegal aliens that are in prison. Not the top of my priority list, but a win’s a win.
