That depends on state and county law.

If a recall is possible, the same would dictate what the procedure for a recall is.

In the US, sheriffs are elected officials, i.e. they can't be fired.

The disinformation campaign on Facebook targeting migrants has subsided for now, until somebody needs another immigration crisis.

Migrants are overwhelmingly dependent on Facebook for information, and the sources that they follow are riddled with disinformation. https://www.techtransparencyproject.org/articles/inside-world-misinformation-targeting-migrants-social-media

I guess they can't use the disparaging phrase "straight to video" anymore.

Don't laugh.

In an election where the polls are statistically tied in the battleground states, a handful of voters could make a difference.

@wjs018@ani.social Maybe it would be a good idea to post about how @rikka@ani.social works.

I believe this /c has gained a significant number of new users over this season, and the newbies may not understand that they need to comment inside their favorite shows threads to get rikka to post the next episode thread, or that they can request episode threads if rikka drops a show.

That depends on how Canada implemented their plastic bag ban.

California's ban allowed "reusable" bags, which the plastics industry interpreted to produce bags that looked a lot like the thin single use bags, but of thicker plastic, and consumer habits weren't changed by much.

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Like @TheTechnician27@lemmy.world said, this is closing a loophole that was in the original grocery bag reduction law.

 

More and more high profile athletes are displaying their love of anime.

A pretty good summary of the DOJ documents in the Russian propaganda campaign.

 

The movie just recently became available for streaming, so I got a chance to watch it.

Mostly a recap of the first 2 seasons, but from Nagi and Reo's point-of-view.

I felt disappointed by this:

Nagi isn't the most captivating or motivated character. He has a one-dimensional personality and this movie does nothing to change that.

He spends most of the movie moaning about what a hassle it is to do just about anything: Playing soccer, brushing his teeth, even eating.

Incredible football super powers aside, he just isn't interesting enough to be the subject of a 90 minute movie.

It was nice to watch the group elimination stage from Team V's point of view, but it's presented almost as quick highlights, with maybe the best part being against Nico's Team Y, although more screen time is given to their fateful match against Isagi's Team Z.

And that's a problem, because we already saw what happened in V vs Z in excruciating detail in the TV episodes.

Assuming anyone who is investing time and money to watch this has already watched the show already knows exactly what happens, so what was the value add here?

Although the production did animate just about everything from scratch for the movie, there was disappointingly little actual new story.

And the movie production quality was also not that great.

The TV show is famous for its Powerpoint-style graphics, and the movie was only slightly above that.

It felt like a missed opportunity to "fill in the gaps" of the action that's happening between the Powerpoint slides.

To sum up, it feels like a lot of poor production and concept decisions.

 

Just when you thought it was over...

Redstone/Paramount to consider a competing bid for the company...

 

Apologies for the slightly off-topic post...

It's not looking good, folks...

George R R Martin confirms he hasn't written anything for the 2 remaining A Song Of Ice And Fire books since 2022.

He wishes that they were finished.

The last published book in the series, A Dance With Dragons, was published in July 2011, now 13 years ago.

Obligatory song that's now 12 years old... https://youtu.be/j7lp3RhzfgI

 

A little off topic, but the whole Japanese "utsukushii" and/or "kawaii" aesthetic... Where does it come from?

Descriptions of "utsukushi" things and moments in "The Pillow Book" from the Heian period goes back to the year 1002.

Apparently unrelated to the massive Netflix anime leak, the Re:Zero movie length premiere has also leaked.

This one appears to be related to a canceled showing at Japan Expo in Paris, similar to the massive CR premiere leak from a convention in Washington couple of seasons ago.

 

Great knowledge by the OP and a commenter!

Thanks!
