Erling Haaland comments on fans comparing him to ‘Dragon Ball Z’ character Majin Buu “I mean I don’t disagree”

…Nah. Norway, get Haaland on the field. I would’ve been okay with any other team but this was dumb. (I still love my UK friends no genuine hard feelings)

If told middle school Alex that once day she would be in the official School Days franchise, she won't believe you. But officially I can say that she will be voicing Roka Kitsuregawa in School Days. Thank you @YaraNaikaVO for believing in me to for this opportunity 👏🏾

I keep up with Mesoamerican excavations + research: You are incorrect The Aztec DID build most of their own cities and monuments, EX: the royal estate of Texcotzinco was built by Nezahualcoyotl, and the site was engraved with his/his city's glyphs and various dates (pic) You might be thinking of the fact that the Aztec found the ruins of Teotihuacan (x.com/Majora__Z/stat…) and didn't know who built that city, and they did some renovations to some structures and did archeological excavations there, or how some other cities like Cholula were also previously built by earlier Mesoamerican civilizations and were then taken over by the Aztec (or at least some Nahuas, but some people define "Aztec" to mean only specific Nahua groups). Similarly some abandoned Maya cities were later reused by later Maya groups, the Mixtec may have taken over some earlier Zapotec sites, etc. But the Aztec, later Mayas, Mixtecs etc still built brand new cities and infrastructure, as I said and gave an example of with Texcotzinco (In addition to that site, Nezahualcoyotl also designed the large levee/dam wall that was named after him, and the twin channel/piped aqueduct which delivered water to Tenochtitlan from Chapultepec, which also has engraved reliefs of the emblems of rulers and dates like Texcotzinco, though likely after an estate was already built there, rather then during it's initial construction: academia.edu/6840960/Withou… ) For example, Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital, was also built from scratch by the Aztec themselves (in a strict sense by the specific Mexica subgroup most associated with the "Aztec" label), with the island it was built on being mostly uninhabited before they arrived (aside from a small village in the "Toltec" period, see: mesoweb.com/es/articulos/s… for info on that and the dating of the city's construction), and it's the city that @alex_fairfax06 was responding to/posting about And if there's any doubt that the Aztec could build things, here is Cortes describing how impressed he was by a bridge he saw Aztec workers build for him during a later campaign when he had Aztec forces as a subject/allied army: x.com/Majora__Z/stat… It's also not like Teotihuacan, Cholula etc are particularly mysterious. They are just earlier civilizations in the region, the same way that say the Minoans or Mycenaeans and then the Greeks and then the Romans built stuff, with Medieval Europeans reusing some of their cities in some cases, and building their own new cities in other cases: Same deal with the Aztec and preceding Mesoamerican civilizations If you're trying to assert that those earlier Mesoamerican civilizations weren't even Indigenous, then that's also wrong and even more comically and provable so: For example, some Maya buildings are literally inscribed with the date they were built + the name of the king who commissioned it (EX: the Temple of Inscriptions and Temple 19 at Palenque, see mesoweb.com/articles/guent… and mesoweb.com/publications/S…, see also cross group structures from the city here academia.edu/32273450/The_P… though this paper doesn't render the dates into the Gregorian calendar which makes it inconvenient, there's many other buildings from Copan like Temple 16 and 26 which I didn't provide links for for similar reasons), like with Texcotzinco and the Aztec, except with the date actually marking the construction of the building rather then just other important events/dates, and said date inscriptions surviving today (since Texcotzinco's engraved reliefs are mostly worn away today, we just have 17th century descriptions of them as seen in pic 1, and a few trace remnants like researchgate.net/figure/Defaced…) There are also sites and buildings with tombs where bodies were found WITHIN sealed chambers of some structures, back during the initial construction or expansion of those buildings, and those human remains are genetically indigenous and match Maya, Zapotec, Mixtec etc populations: For example, the aforementioned Temple of Inscriptions at Palenque has the tomb (Pic 2, by @Trasancos ) of Pakal the Great, which was sealed and hidden until archeologists discovered and excavated it, and the inscriptions on the sarcophagus detail the birth, death etc dates of Pakal and his family (refer to the previously linked paper about the Temple of Inscriptions which includes a translation of the inscriptions at the end, see pic 3, also this paper academia.edu/26078465/The_B… and mesoweb.com/reports/pakal.… to see how we know the tomb contains Pakal specifically). Actually, sculptures, stela, lintels and other monuments recording the birth, deaths, coronations etc of rulers and the date the monuments were built are incredibly common in Maya cities (EX see mused.com/stories/103/co… and mesoweb.com/pari/publicati… and jetsetterweb.wordpress.com/2021/01/04/cop… etc), but there's too many examples to list and I figured that you could always push back and say that dates on free-standing stela/obelisks don't say anything about the dating of the buildings, so I wanted to focus on buildings with dates on them like the Temple of Inscriptions, Temple 19, etc. But the art style and historical information on stela etc still matches the art style of reliefs and sculptures attached to buildings, so it's a bit silly to say they had different creators (and even if they were different for the sake of argument, that still shows the Maya etc were skilled enough to make monumental structures with the same style as the buildings), and the physical features of people depicted on both those monuments and on/in buildings show indigenous features, dark skin etc, like on the Bonampak murals: latinamericanstudies.org/bonampak-1.htm Admittedly I can't find papers genetically analyzing Pakal's bones to prove he's indigenous, even if he's depicted with indigenous features in art, though there is this isotope analysis which shows he and the "Red Queen" at least lived local to the city: researchgate.net/publication/35…, see also this paper which found that the sacrificial victims beneath the Temple of the Feathered Serpent at Teotihuacan, who would HAD to have been buried there before/as the temple was constructed, lived in Mesoamerica: cambridge.org/core/journals/…), but there are other tombs with remains which have had genetic analysis, such as individual CpM13 from burial 36-2000 at Copan, who was part of a study about Maya genetics and the remains are clearly indigenous (see #mmc1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">cell.com/current-biolog… , the source of pic 4, and tara.tcd.ie/bitstreams/75d… and academia.edu/8062960/New_is…) Honestly there's so many other things I could link and say here (EX: The successive layers of the Great Temple in Tenochtitlan and how if it was an existing city where a later population moved in, the later construction/expansion phases would show radically different construction techniques, unless you think the Aztec perfectly matched the skill and technique of this hypothetical earlier group that you think really built the city instead), but I've already spent way more time on this reply then I should have: TL;DR, The Aztec built most of their cities and structures, even if there were some cases in which they or other Mesoamerican groups took over cities from earlier Mesoamerican groups, and all of the Mesoamericans were indeed indigenous Amerindians with genetic ties to modern Indigenous Mexican, Guatemalan etc populations If you actually want to learn about Mesoamerican history, you can see detailed posts I've done about Mesoamerican history and archeology here x.com/Majora__Z/stat… in this link

@skylarxene Hope you have fun, Prima!

Hey y'all! Ill be at AX from Thursday through Saturday! If you see me don't be afraid to say hello! 😊✨✨

📢CALLING ALL VOICE ACTORS!📢📢 STUDIO EXO is officially opening up its roster! If you are interested in working alongside us, please fill out this form below: forms.gle/HFJnkpT9B4G182… You can find a link to the application on our website: studioexo.carrd.co Thank you!🎉

No remote VO actor is asking for anything more than to at least be able to audition & be given consideration like local talent is. That if a CD thinks a remote VO actor might be the best fit for a part, they shouldn't be disqualified due to location & certainly not disability.

Genuinely the only thing I want out my career is to leave behind a voiceover industry more accessible than when I came into it. I'm grateful for the opportunities I've been given, but I know there is so much more work to do before this industry is truly accessible.

CALLING ALL VOICE ACTORS! Do you want to be the part of the cast on Wynd Comic Dub Season 3? Auditions are extended until July 5, so join us today! AUDITION NOW: castingcall.club/projects/wynd-…

We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas
