A screenshot from Battle Suit Aces. A shot from inside a dumpster full of trash, Daciana looks inside with a tool over her shoulder, looking in at the biggest piece of trash: a man that looks exactly like Paptimus Scirocco from Zeta Gundam.

Been enjoying how bite-sized by sessions with Battle Suit Aces have been able to be. Enjoying myself a good deal, but definitely popped finding Paptimus Scirocco in a fucking dumpster. All my homies throw Paptimus Scirocco in a dumpster.

and of course: listen to @bloodwork.show

if you're interested in the geopolitical and ethical questions around mechs that we sometimes discuss between jokes, you should check out BLOOD WORK. the recent episode on the AK-47 traces the evolution of a ubiquitous mass casualty weapon many people thinking about mechs will find illuminating!

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

unless.....

voltes v doesnt have a student council of gentlemen bishonen who are obviously drinking scotch in each others' laps every time theyre off screen

Notice how kaworu isn’t mentioned here? It’s because fujoshis transcend the eva shipping discussion. We know the truth

funniest thing about eva shipping wars is that it's ok: do you want to fuck your mother (15 y/o ver.) or the tsundere who's obsessed with you? and then certain segments of the audience think they deserve some kind of medal for saying actually! i want to fuck the adult woman with massive tits

i cant lie though asuka feels like a character waiting for yoko taro to make her irredeemable (positive[?])
