Does anyone know what's going on with the election in Puerto Rico? Last I heard things were close between the pro-independence and pro-statehood parties

I'm not sure you understand scientific socialism then. The scientific part requires communists to apply dialectical and historical materialism to improve their revolutionary methods. If you only look at the successes you don't see what not to do or patterns of failure your movement might be falling into.

What you're saying is tautological, why bother attempting any revolution if there's a chance of failure? Surely living under oppressive bourgeois and semi-feudal regimes is acceptable if you can't guarantee you'll win, right?

It's something that got broken telephoned into a meme. IIRC a village lynched a local party leader and in retaliation the local cadre violently attacked the village. In the attack they threw boiling water at people, including pregnant women, and later Gonzalo made a somewhat unapologetic statement on the attack.

While the Peruvian revolution failed, the PCP (CPP is usually Communist Party of Philippines) are notably the one of the only communist parties to have successfully organized and waged a people's war after the 80s (the only other one I can think of is Nepal, who were MLMaoists themselves) and deserves to be studied in the spirit of scientific socialism.

There's a current among Maoists of elevating the PCP and Gonzalo in particular above any of the other active Maoist movements in what's referred as "Gonzaloism". Gonzalo himself has an arguably important place within communist history, but I would not say he's of the particular importance of Marx, Lenin, or Mao like Gonzaloist adherents claim.

1000 curses upon the lawyers and executives of Kakao Entertainment. May they never know the light of heaven.

Some brave folks on the manga piracy subreddit are planning on continuing development with a fork so hope may not be lost, but Kakao said they're also going to target downstream forks so we'll see what happens.

In case you missed it, popular manga reader app Tachiyomi pushed an update this week that removed its web extension list for manga reader sites like mangadex and said they'll be moving to a move plex/jellyfin like model of "bring your own content".

Today a Korean manwha publisher, Kakao Entertainment, announced on their twitter they've been gathering details about the project's main contributors for pursuing legal action to attempt to shutdown the project and all downstream forks.

Third party rehosts of the extension list have already popped up, but they won't be much use if the main app gets shutdown. Also it's unclear to me if the extensions will be updated going forward, so they may stop working in the future.

Kakao's post in case you can't read or view it:

Tachiyomi, under the guise of 'legitimate' open-source development, has been seriously infringing on the copyright of manwhas worldwide.

We have collected personal details of most individuals invovled in this project and plan to proceed with strong legal and institutional responses against over 100 forked Github pages.

[Disgusting plug for their garbage service]

Reminder! This is the last official chapter of One Piece for 2023 because of holiday breaks etc so we'll be posting the discussion threads following the TCB releases going forward, which means possibly one more chapter, cuz otherwise we'd be waiting until mid-January and I need my damn fix.
