Today I Recited Shakespeare To A Small Army Of Eight-year-olds

A small but very interesting observation. Rei's character trait, which makes him please people, is partly a consequence of his upbringing in his family. Judging by the words of Rei himself, the Sakuma clan was oppressed and persecuted in the distant past (probably during the witch hunt) because of its vampire characteristics of the body. And the condition by which the Sakuma could live among people was "to be harmless and useful". So this model of upbringing, which arose from the desire of the Sakuma family to survive, has become just a tradition and a feature of the character of all representatives of this family. Therefore, both Rei, and partly Ritsu, and most likely everyone else from the Sakuma clan have a tendency to want to be useful to others. That's such an interesting thing.

"Because we are harmless and useful, my family was allowed to exist in this world."

"Even in our modern era, when strange things have disappeared, it is difficult to change the way of life that was imprinted in my soul and genes and was fixed thanks to my education."

So these problems of Rei are not only related to his angelic personality (although that too).

happy birthday my sweet prince 💗

BOOM: Google Loses Antitrust Case

Search giant Google has lost its first antitrust case in a San Francisco jury trial. The breakup of Big Tech begins.

Big news: Google has lost its first antitrust case. Via Matt Stoller:

So what happens now? In this case, the judge will come up with remedies next year. The order could be broad, and will likely loosen Google’s control over the mobile app ecosystem. Google has already announced that it will appeal, so the case isn’t over.

That said, Google is likely to be in trouble now, because it is facing multiple antitrust cases, and these kinds of decisions have a bandwagon effect. The precedent is set, in every case going forward the firm will now be seen as presumed guilty, since a jury found Google has violated antitrust laws. Judges are cautious, and are generally afraid of being the first to make a precedent-setting decision. Now they won’t have to. In fact, judges and juries will now have to find a reason to rule for Google. If, say, Judge Amit Mehta in D.C., facing a very similar fact-pattern, chooses to let Google off the hook, well, he’ll look pretty bad.

i love the scene of adonis noticing that rei was depressed post-crossroads and all the discussions of adonis being particularly clever / observant throughout the story... it really hammers home the adonis and rei parallels. both emotionally intelligent people who feel othered and who are driven by their love for humans and desire to help even strangers to the point of self sacrifice. the major differences between them are caused by adonis' crippling self esteem (which is something he's slowly but surely learning to improve) and rei being treated like a god (something that's also changing as rei allows himself to be fallible)
