In April, I resigned from my position at the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division for a simple reason: The department’s leadership is directing attorneys to use antisemitism as a pretext to undermine free speech.

The Civil Rights Division was founded in the late 1950s to enforce the nation’s civil rights statutes and address discrimination in all aspects of American life.

I don't like where this is headed. I love the Korean word play. My whole motivation for learning Korean is to better understand the clever writing.

Frex: in "Her Private Life" the ML's name is Ryan because he grew up in the US. This is difficult to pronounce for Koreans, so it sounds an awful lot like "lion" so his nickname is Saja - which is the word for lion in Korean. The translation does show that they are saying lion, but misses the Korean nickname for him (if it was on Viki, the translators would explain) - but it's hilarious to me that they twist English & their own language around this way. I don't want to lose things like this.

"we are focusing on creating globally accessible storytelling by incorporating elements such as easily translatable dialogue and editing styles optimized for binge-watching."

To me this is dumbing it all down to western standards.

My kid just WhatsApped from his German exchange trip. They had to call an ambulance for him.

He has food poisoning, was very pale and nauseous. He was dehydrated and his blood pressure was dropping.

He's fine now but I wanted to share this because it has the most Western Europe Is a Civilized Place ending ever.

The paramedics came to the mall, took him into the ambulance, gave him an IV, checked him out, stayed with him until he felt better, then told him "No charge. Enjoy your trip to Germany." And if that wasn't enough, when they realized the group had had to move onto the train station without him, they gave him a ride over there to catch up with them.

I'm so ground down by the predatory realities of America in general in 2025 that this just about blew my fucking mind.

Kina indbygger åbenbart spionage og killswitch i deres elektronik til vesten.

Og USA indbygger killswitch i deres våben og deres software, herunder cloudløsninger.

Det er den slags der gør, at EU skal være en mere suveræn region, hvor vi er selvforsynende med kritisk infrastruktur.
