I haven’t seen manga reviewers talk about Biden’s foray into Intellectual Property much. I may be tempted to rectify that. politics

Even if you pay the fundraisers more, that does not mean the charities get more. It takes a ton of $ and time to shift the market.
Do none of you know how charity fundraisers work in the US? The charity gets paid up front. The fundraisers make money based on sales.
Yup. RT @Gundampilotspaz: The licensors keep most of the money from domestic US sales. In most cases the Japanese have already been paid.
Wow, it’s still going? RT @Kabitzin: Yakitate 235… dear god let this just end already
He shot the sub/dub sheriff! RT @tnelson027: I was just giving my words about the argument. Although I may have indirectly started it
The thing that zealots don’t get about me is I do not like motivating people with fear/guilt/shame. This is bizarre to them.
The ‘you wouldn’t steal a car’ example plays upon ignorance to equate two very distinct things. Copyvio is not theft. @predederva
Congrats! RT @VamptVo: Ani-Gamers has got two new writers: @bakatanuki and @lwelyk. Welcome to the team, guys! http://bit.ly/bYWTfp

There’s a lot of talk about How Not to Man Up: http://bit.ly/bdAjtZ TMR otakumanup
I submit that chasing girls is not necessarily the whole of “life” and pursuing your own interests need not be cowardice. @timmaughan

I’m not saying your articles should include that, but if you’re going to argue about cons making/losing money you have to have something.
Guys. If you want to report on cons, do a bit of math. Try to figure out roughly how much dealers paid, how many attendees, etc.

Re: the AX App, it’s annoying to incur extra charges even if they are relatively insignificant. I believe this cannot be overstated.

Why are media outlets referring to the BP Oil Spill as ‘The Deepwater’ or ‘The Gulf of Mexico’ oil spill? Does BP have more major spills?
