the season 4 opening goes so fucking hard, I mean first of all it's ClariS and second of all it's a fully fleshed out fairy tale kingdom AU story with like a plot and stakes and everything. I need the spin-off https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0W74MWAVK8

Okay I am now current on Rent-A-Girlfriend. Don’t tell anyone, it’s embarrassing

Decided to pick up reading the manga because I had to know the resolution to the "Just as Chizuru and Kazuya are about to go down a waterslide together, Chizuru notices that the knot on the back of her bikini top is feeling a little loose" cliffhanger

Everyone in this show bends over backwards and tells increasingly complicated lies to please gamer grandma. And they are correct. Nagomi best girl

I'm not reading for the disgustingly overwrought romantic sentimentality!!! I swear I'm just reading for the horny!!

Many people who hate Rent-a-Girlfriend say this is the arc where it gets really bad so honestly I'm kind of excited that this is where it's gonna get really good.

They've been building to a love confession for a very long time and I think it's about to happen and I am just hoping and praying for a wild disaster

Reader, it was peak. What the fuck are people talking about. I’m not saying anything more on the off chance any anime watchers see this who haven’t read the manga but it was everything I could possibly have hoped for and more

Holy shit!!! The man has chronic pain give him a break

It's so precious that the protagonist volunteers at the local daycare once a month. It's so deeply adorable that they didn't mention or depict this until chapter 290

It's stupid. but I did cry

(far, far from the first "it's stupid but I did cry" moment in this series)

@anildash who washes the washmen?

When the karens saw jesus girl dinnering with simps and pick-mes, they said to his disciples, "why does he yap with simps and pick-mes? sus." Hearing this, Jesus said to them, "It is not the sigmas who need a vibe check, but the betas. I have not come to rizz the based, but the cringe."

to this day there are some people in the economy fandom who think the economy is a real thing

hi, I'm mister beast and this is my patented beast mister. are your beasts dry? moisten your beasts by misting them with mister beast's beast mister. remember, for moister beasts, it's best to mist with mister beast's beast mister: the better mister, for better, moister beasts.

what fediverse services are out there for short form videos analogous to tiktoks/reels? if there's more than one, which ones do people like?

I don't really care much about whether they offer the infinite scroll functionality of those platforms (in fact I kind of hate that shit), I just want to find a "home" for videos, ideally one that can be followed via activitypub

(boosts ok!)

@mekkaokereke honestly I see the point you're making here but I think this is a good thing on some level?

I mean on the one hand you have "slow and considered discourse about whether a certain feature is really beneficial to the community"

on the other hand you have "rapid growth"

the former is preferable to me!

(nb: although I value that "slow" approach in many cases, NOT when it comes to safety concerns. Those are urgent and the Mastodon devs are TOO slow to address those)

Call me old fashioned but I don’t think cops should arrest journalists covering protests

What @anildash is saying here is extremely important. sharing something like this on mastodon feels kind of like preaching to the choir, but it's worth periodically reminding ourselves.

@selzero serious question: why Mastodon? Mastodon is a social app, not a news app. Wouldn’t it be better for Mastodon to focus on building the best possible set of social features? I think the fedivedse could benefit from a great news app, but I don’t see why Mastodon would be that app.

Your longest day was NOVEMBER 5, a whopping 25 hours. Falling back like a champ! 🍂

This year was the 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF 2013. Here’s to another 10 more! 🥳

You’ve had 51 MONDAYS so far this year. Yikes! We won’t tell Garfield if you won’t. 🐈
