Our hearts are heavy today for 19-year-old Pvt. Isabella Gonzales of Carrollton, Texas. This brave young soldier was killed Friday in Iranian missile and drone attacks on a U.S. base in Jordan.
At just 19, she selflessly answered the call to defend our nation. Her courage and sacrifice will never be forgotten.
Sending deepest condolences and prayers to her family, friends, and all who loved her. May God wrap you in comfort and grant her eternal peace.
Thank you for your service, Isabella. You are a true hero. 🇺🇸
This is the anime style I truly miss.
Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop, Escaflowne, Oh My Goddess!, Samurai Pizza Cats, Dirty Pair, Bubblegum Crises, Ranma, Slayers, Agent Aika, Nuku Nuku, Serial experiments Lain, .Hack, Lupin 3rd, Ghost in the Shell, and so many, many more.
Over the top expressions, detailed animations, fanservice, unfiltered topics - I miss these days.
I understand it's not for everyone, and some things haven't aged well, but just the art style alone is what I want to see return more than anything. Studios are showing they can bring it back!
Rest in peace to the woman behind Kiki’s Delivery Service 🕊️
Akiko Hayashi, the legendary Japanese picture-book author and illustrator, passed away at the age of 81. While anime fans may know Kiki’s Delivery Service through Studio Ghibli’s 1989 film, Hayashi was the artist behind the illustrations of the novel, giving readers one of the earliest printed images of Kiki and Jiji before the story became an anime classic.
Hayashi was best known for her warm, delicate portrayals of childhood in books like Miki’s First Errand, Good Evening Mr. Moon, Aki and the Fox, and There’s a Hippo in My Bath! Her work captured small emotions with rare tenderness: a child’s nervous first step, a quiet moment under the moon, or the courage hidden in everyday life.
Her illustrations helped shape the visual memory of generations, from picture-book readers in Japan and Korea to fans who later discovered Kiki’s story through Ghibli.
Rest in peace, Akiko Hayashi 🌙

Automation will continue to replace American jobs
This is the Panda Express ‘Panda Auto Wok’
This was made to speed up cooking time and to reduce labor costs. By having cooking automated like this, it could save labor costs by 30-50%+ per Wok station
Automation like this is only going to get more advanced and keep replacing workers
[RG911Team] This CBS reporter could have been killed on 9/11 when WTC Building 7 came down.
But he saw something disturbing that scared him away from the skyscraper.
To this day, no official investigation has explained what he saw.
A man's wife was murdered in Japan in 1999. Satoru Takaba spent the next 26 years paying $145k in rent to keep the crime scene completely untouched, believing future DNA technology would catch the killer.
He was right.
