I don't know where the season will go as a whole, but the first episode of Shiboyugi was fabulous.

I've taken a couple of days to mull over the final episode of City: The Animation, and as much as the whole "musical" skit was well animated and executed, I think it was a swing and a miss. For me personally, the first segment with Eri and Matsuri at the airport was better, but make no mistake, the series as a whole was fantastic.

The scale of Trump's pay-for-access scheme outlined by the Times is mindblowing. Crypto contributions resulting in business deals with the Trump family crypto businesses, oil companies buying influence and later reaping benefits from friendly policies, and a $1 million pardon.

Cryptocurrency interests, which have benefited from the Trump administration’s dismantling of a yearslong government crackdown and from the Trump family’s financial interest in the industry, appear to have been the most generous industry, accounting for nearly $45 million in donations to MAGA Inc.An affiliate of the exchange Crypto.com gave $10 million, while the crypto services company Blockchain.com donated $5 million. The venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, who are heavily invested in crypto, gave $3 million each. Ondo Finance, which has a partnership with the Trump family’s crypto company, donated $2.1 million to MAGA Inc., on top of $1 million to Mr. Trump’s inauguration.

@molly0xfff it's not a government, it's a racket.

Well now that it's official, I'll let you all know: I'm going to be fairly absent for a while as my wife and I are separating.

I'm pretty gutted. Not my choice. But given how things went down I wouldn't want to continue at this point either.

I may tell the whole story some day but tl;dr: C-PTSD is a sonofabitch and doesn't mix well with a partner with ADHD.

I mostly just feel betrayed at this juncture. I put a lot of energy and care into supporting her through some really awful shit, and it's been thrown back in my face, with not a hint of the grace and patience I showed.

I'll still be here, but much less visible for now. Going to stay with my brother for a while.
