Remember all those fucking people saying they won't vote for Biden (or Harris) because they give arms to Israel - idiotically assuming trump would somehow be better?
Well...
Trump makes 2,000-pound bombs available to Israel, undoing Biden pause
I swear, why are people so fucking stupid when it comes to trump - however bad you think someone on the Left might be, trump will always, ALWAYS be worse.
But these fuckers just refuse to see this.

It was never about Gaza, it's about smug self-righteousness and they will move onto whatever subject makes them feel smugly self-righteous next instead of reflecting on their previous smug self-righteousness.

It kinda makes Nepenthe and co. calling Bernie a racist when he pointed out that he marched with King kinda silly.

https://www.animeforum.com/showthread.php?121750-Advice-for-wanting-to-work-in-anime-as-a-writer

Hi, as the title suggests, I would like some advice in trying to get work in the anime industry, specifically I want to work as a writer. Since I was a kid I have loved writing, specifically writing animation. Though I didn't realize it at the time, many of the shows that I watched and enjoyed as a kid were anime like The Moomins, Medabots, SailorMoon, Pokemon, Digimon, TransFormers: Super God Masterforce, the works of Miyazaki etc. As I grew older my love for anime grew until I had a phase when I disliked it for about 4 years until I fell in love with it again. I don't know exactly what draws me to anime more then western animation which though I like too, it's never appealed to me.

I have researched and watch tons of anime and manga from Sci-fi, fantasy, mech, action, horror to even genres I'm not interested in such as romance and comedy to get the feel and common ideas of anime. I have went through many books, documentaries and interviews to get to see the mind set of anime writers though unfortunately most of the books and lecturers seem to focus on western animation. I've also read through the ideas of Shinto as well as went and research different mythologies and folklore like Aboriginal, Chinese, Roman, Greek etc. I've also tried to learn Japanese but I'll admit I'm struggling with it.

At the moment, I am currently doing a bachelor's degree in film Production to get the feel and expertise as well as to improve my skills as a writer and how working in an environment like a film set or a studio is like. I am currently have between 1-2 years left to go (depending if I choose to go for a master's degree).

So as you can see I am very serious about this. As such I would like some advice/help on some stuff such as what I need to do to become an anime writer, how the Japanese job system is like, how are westerners treated (especially to Bi white Scotsman), where would I get started, which companies pay the best and are the most creatively friendly, where would be the best place to live and any recommendations on books/documentaries/interviews on anime.

Super fucked up. It's just an additional punishment for members of a minority. This is their plan for any trans woman who is incarcerated, oh and how convenient that they're talking about considering documents with the correct gender marker as "fraud", it'll be another excuse to imprison trans folk. Also more people should be aware of what "v-coding" is and its practice in men's prisons, truly awful.

No problem. Few enough people care about trans women, the further drop-off for those in prison is significant.

As you noted the overarching pipeline they're moving toward in both the UK and the US is to criminalise significant portions of trans existence — particularly in relation to spaces; the ability to meaningfully live as ourselves in public — and then mandate we serve sentences in men's prisons. Where we're then used as sex dolls to placate the male population.

This is the easier and "cleaner" form of sending trans to camps. Just stack everyone in prison and done. Spooky times...

Yeh it's always been the thing. They don't need bullets to remove us, they can just deny us any means of transitioning or living as ourselves and then shove us in a box to be raped daily as punishment if we deviate.

(I don't know if the story is important, but Dev has been telling her story for the past year if you're interested)

No, I don’t want to give that dude clicks. I did a quick search of her in google and just got a mother jones article that don’t mention in detail this and some self grandiose Ai made blogs 

Sternquist was initially arrested for possessing dozens of fake identification badges and credentials for government agencies like the EPA and the Coast Guard. A search of her apartment allegedly led to the discovery of “four fully assembled firearms,” two of which the government says were automatic, as well as what the prosecution described as “inoperable firearms in various stages of construction.” Due to two previous felony convictions related to fraudulent identification documents, it is illegal for Sternquist to possess guns. She was ultimately indicted on two counts related to the IDs and one count of possessing a firearm as a felon. She has pleaded not guilty.

[benji]

https://www.resetera.com/threads/trans-women-in-fmc-carswell-being-isolated-may-potentially-be-moved-into-units-with-men.1093374/

For some context, Kara Sternquist is a trans woman who has been in prison for a while due to her cybersecurity work (I don't know if the story is important, but Dev has been telling her story for the past year if you're interested),

The Pretrial Services Report reveals Sternquist to have a substantial criminal history, including felony convictions for identity theft, carrying a concealed weapon, grand larceny, possession of stolen property, and possession of tools for forgery/counterfeiting. Sternquist also has a number of misdemeanor convictions. Pretrial Services also notes that Sternquist has a history of non-appearance and other noncompliance with court orders: the Richmond County Criminal Court issued a bench warrant for her arrest in 2007, and she violated the terms of her supervised release twice in the context of a prior federal case. The latter violation led a judge in the District of New Jersey to revoke her supervised release and to impose an additional term of incarceration in 2013.

...

Here, Sternquist, who has a lengthy and serious criminal history, was found to be in possession of four fully assembled firearms, including two fully automatic rifles, and fifteen additional firearms in various stages of assembly.

...


The government contends that some of these guns may have been constructed (or were in the process of being constructed) to be untraceable: “[P]urchase records from numerous domestic suppliers of firearms-related equipment reflect the purchase by the defendant of various parts and components that can be used either to create new firearms (commonly referred to as ‘ghost guns') or to augment existing firearms including AR-15 rifles.”

On April 11, 2007, Defendant pled guilty in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio to producing false identification documents in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1028(a)(1), (b)(1)(A) and, on July 7, 2007, was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment. See, Opp. at 2. Three years later, on June 30, 2010, Defendant pled guilty in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey to making and selling computerized templates for producing fake identification documents in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1028(a)(5), (b)(3)© and, on October 8, 2010, was sentenced to 27 months' imprisonment followed by three years of supervised release. Id.

On June 19, 2021, Defendant was arrested in New York County for criminal mischief in the second degree, a violation of  N.Y. Penal Law § 145.10. Id. at 3. While the state charges were pending, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers intercepted multiple international mail parcels at John F. Kennedy International Airport addressed to Defendant. Id. These packages, shipped from various locations in China, contained fraudulent badges purporting to belong to various government agencies, including, inter alia, the U.S. Marshal's Service, and the U.S. Department of State. Id. On September 14, 2022, federal agents executed a search warrant at Defendant's home where they found dozens of additional counterfeit badges, fake passports, counterfeit seals, military identification cards, and stolen credit cards. Id. During the execution of the warrant, agents recovered 23 firearm-related pieces of equipment, including 15 suppressors (silencers) and 8 items that qualified as "firearms" for purposes of section 922(g)'s prohibition, one of which qualified as a "machine gun" as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(24). Id.

Previous conviction over a decade prior:

TRENTON, N.J. – a Hudson County, New Jersey man was sentenced today to 31 months
in prison on a federal fraud charge arising from his creation of computerized templates to be
used in the production of false identification documents, including federal law enforcement
credentials, and selling them over the Internet, United States Attorney Paul J. Fishman
announced.

Michael J. Sternquist, a/k/a “John Torchwood,” 26, of Hoboken, N.J., had previously
pleaded guilty to a count of fraud in connection with identification documents before United
States District Judge Freda L. Wolfson. Judge Wolfson also imposed the sentence today in
Trenton federal court.

According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:

Sternquist admitted that between September 2009 and February 12, 2010, he created
computerized templates for false identification documents, including various state driver’s
licenses and federal law enforcement credentials, and sold them over the Internet. Sternquist also
admitted that the templates he created included authentication features that issuing entities use to
determine whether identification documents are counterfeit. He also provided purchasers with
instructions on how to print the identification documents, including the authentication features –
knowing that the people who bought the templates would use them to create false documents.

Sternquist also previously pleaded guilty to violating the terms of his supervised release
following his release from custody on a prior, July 2007 identification document fraud conviction
in the Southern District of Ohio.

Just regular cybersercurity work.

As mentioned above, in addition to purchasing these counterfeit law enforcement
credentials and badges, Kara Sternquist has, either under her own name or an alias, also
purchased parts and equipment related to firearms, including parts and equipment that are
commonly used in the creation of so-called “ghost guns” and had those items shipped to the
Sternquist Address

...

As part of the investigation, I have reviewed records obtained from a company
called “Sally’s Cop Shop.” Those records show over twenty purchases of items related to law
enforcement credentials by a purchaser identified as “Kara Sternquist” during the period from
approximately July 2019 through July 2022. The purchased items include the following:
“credential case IRS”; “credential case with gold DHS imprint”; and “ATF trifold badge case.”
In each case the purchaser listed the Sternquist Address as the address to which the items were to
be shipped. The two most recent purchases occurred on July 28, 2022. The records indicate
that that the purchaser used the email address kara.sternquist@gmail.com. The records also
appear to show that the purchases were made online using the internet.

I have also reviewed records obtained from certain sellers of parts and equipment
for firearms. The sellers include ABC Rifle, Dead Foot Arms LLC, Arms Unlimited, Omaha
Outdoors, and Lone Wolf Firearms. Those records show purchases from an individual
identified as Kara Sternquist, using the email address quistproquo@gmail.com. The purchases
generally include pieces of equipment that, based on my knowledge, training, and experience,
can be used either to assemble firearms or to augment the capability of an existing firearm. For
example, the records show that Kara Sternquist purchased a total of 4 ambidextrous magazine
releases designed to be used with AR-15 rifles from Arms Unlimited – one of the purchases (for
2 of the magazine releases) occurred on July 10, 2022, and the other purchase (for the other 2
magazine releases) occurred in December 2021. Similarly, the records show that Kara
Sternquist twice purchased “polished aluminum bolt carrier groups” for use with an AR-15 rifle
from ABC rifle. Based on my knowledge, training, and experience, an aluminum bolt carrier
group is a piece of equipment that houses many of the internal working mechanisms of the rifle
including the firing pin – in my experience, only one bolt carrier group is used per rifle. One of
the purchases of a bolt carrier group occurred in June 2022; the other in July 2022

...

In addition to these ten purchases, the records also show approximately four other
purchases of firearms-related equipment by an individual identified as “Cara Sandiego,” who
also listed the quistproquo@gmail.com email address in connection with the purchases. I have
conducted an open-source review of publicly available social media information and identified
accounts in the name of “Cara Sandiego” that feature pictures of Kara Sternquist as the account
user.5
The purchases made by Cara Sandiego were also set for delivery to the Sternquist Address. All of the purchases attributed to Cara Sandiego were made in May and June 2022.
Among other pieces of equipment, Cara Sandiego also purchased one frame-completion kit and
one frame replacement tool and adhesive kit, both of which, based on my knowledge, training,
and experience, are commonly used in the construction of so-called “ghost guns.” Specifically,
these kits can be used in conjunction with other parts (i.e., an 80% complete frame) to construct a
functioning firearm.6

CBP officers have also intercepted at least one international package bound for
the Sternquist Address that contained firearms-related equipment. Specifically, on July 7, 2022,
CBP officers inspected a package that had arrived at the Seko cargo facility at JFK. The
package was addressed to “Kara Sternquist” at the Sternquist Address. The shipper was
identified on the package as “Tse Suet Ho” with an address in the Hong Kong Special
Administrative Region of China. The package contained three rifle sights (an “L85A3 Front
Rifle sight,” an “L85A3 Rear Rifle sight,” and an “HK4116 Rear Rifle sight”).

In addition, the agents seized approximately 10 counterfeit seals of the United States Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (“ATF”) that appear to be sized for use in ATF
credentials. The agents also seized one “raid jacket” purporting to be for the United States
Marshals Service. The agents also seized at least two common access cards for the United
States Navy in the name of Kara Sternquist and depicting her photograph.

In addition to the counterfeit badges and credentials, agents also recovered the
following items:
• At least 10 firearms, including at least two of which appear to be fully automatic;
• Multiple firearms suppressors;
• Over 20 passports in the names of individuals other than the defendant; and
• At least 144 credit or debit cards with at least 100 pieces of photo identification
corresponding to the cards.

One of these accounts on Facebook shows the user “liked” an organization called
“Armed Equality,” which, on the Facebook page for the entity, features multiple anti-lawenforcement posts, including a cartoon depicting a character announcing that “the cops and
government are now Nazis,” to which another character responds, “then get a gun to defend
yourself instead of trying to ban them, you fucking walnut.”

144 fraudulent credit cards and IDs but buys everything in their name with their full name gmail address.
