So, someone on X has found the image from FRUiTS Magazine that the one Tokyo Pop Barbie outfit was directly copied from, but, The Internet Being The Internet, they didn't say which issue it was. It's entirely possible someone in the replies there did say, but I don't have an X account so I can't see the replies.

Using the magazine image from the X post, I did a reverse image search and found a Pinterest that labeled it July 2000, so I went to The Internet Archive and found July 2000, and it wasn't there.

I looked at issues around then, and found it in September 2000

FRUiTS #38 : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive

The famous Harajuku street fashion magazine

Barbie photo from here

What might not be so obvious is that the text on the waistband area of the original is...not suitable for an American toy...

I saw the FRUiTS image in 2004 or '05, showing what a direct rip off the doll outfit is, but didn't think about saving it myself back then, because none of us knew that information would be harder to find in the future

@roisindubh211 asked about the print on the...oh, looking closer at the image, I can sees that it's at the neckline and sleeves, too, so it may have been an undershirt

The bright yellow letters are hard to read, but the other colors say ROCK, DOPE, SURF, and FUCK, with some mirrored. I can't find a completely clear image of the doll's clothes, but...yeah. One or two of those words isn't gonna make it onto the shelves at Walmart XD

hi. i recently lost my long-term, stable job and have officially burned through my savings o… mallow R needs your support for Emergency Ho

long-term i'm going to need something to keep us all fed and help pay off late fees that have piled up over time, with my eventual goal being get out further and find a stable job elsewhere.

Hey, did y'all see this?

I saw this when running newpipe. But wait, it gets deeper. I clicked on the details buttons and it said as of today, we have 83 days left until Google rolls out this new requirement for apps inside and outside of the google play store. If any developer disagrees with their new terms and fees, they will be blocked!

I'll share some of the info below:

Looks like they're trying to nuke the remaining privacy and freedoms we have left on the internet.

What to do?

-Get your developer friends to not comply to their new guides

- Sign the open letter on the site and take action by checking out the full resources list on their website as well!

To summarize, this is all daunting especially when you feel all alone with unfair and inhumane regulations comming out faster than improvements but we got this working together!

Share the link with your friends, family and anyone who will listen!

Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.

here's two articles about how JK Rowling just posted on X an upskirt photo of Freda Wallace, a transgender woman, after deadnaming her and misgendering her repeatedly online.

‘Dumpster fire’: Postmedia’s decade of pushing Canada’s politics to the right

Canada’s largest newspaper chain has amplified conservative grievance politics — creating fertile ground for MAGA-style ideas, Alberta separ

More than half of Canadian daily newspapers are owned by Postmedia, giving the MAGA-aligned newspaper chain enormous influence over the flow of information and how current events are perceived across the country.  In addition to its explicitly Conservative flagship national newspaper, the National Post, Postmedia has a monopoly on major daily newspapers in Ottawa, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Saskatoon and Regina, in addition to owning the Toronto Sun and Montreal Gazette.  “In the last 10 years, they’ve been imposing an ever further right-wing agenda on their newspapers,” Marc Edge, author of the Postmedia Effect: How Vulture Capitalism Is Wrecking Our News, told Ricochet.

and if i said nolan's odyssey starring no greek actors and with no recognizable aspects of greek culture or involvement by greeks, is the direct legacy of white supremacist colonialism that treated ancient greece as not just the pinnacle of ancient culture, but of an artificially created "european" culture, which white western europeans and their settler descendants, as the new pinnacle of culture, were the sole spiritual inheritors of.

^^^ PEOPLE ARE STILL THERE. There's a metro station across the street from the colosseum where i found a hair in my pizza slice. We drove by ruins of an amphitheater next to a motorway in greece once. It's literally just real places where real people live and have lived. It's not mythical perfect lands that once existed. I went to Itacha in 2023 and there was not enough parking space.

Finally a take on the 2026 Odyssey that isn’t focused on “trans people in movie = pushing woke agenda”

[dramatic-dolphin]

goddd it's been so hard disliking this production for Normal People Reasons basically since it was announced, and seeing people constantly hating it for bullshit reasons. like no I do not have a problem with Elliot Page or Lupita Nyong'o in this movie beyond the fact that they are hollywood a-listers like Everyone Else In The Cast.

Sometimes you mention that progressives (liberals, leftists, whatever) have their own biases and knee-jerk reactions that make certain topics difficult, which gets misinterpreted as 'both sides are equally bad.'

No, there is an obviously, heinously, and indisputably worse side. But I think it's mature to look in the mirror and say 'yes there are things I do that get in my own way.'

genuinely they have probably saved people.

[amvs]

they HAVE saved people actually i’m 100% sure of that. i’ve learned about so many recalls i would’ve had no idea about otherwise !!!! from the bottom of all of our hearts thank you mamoru

[mamoru]

aw shucks, thank YOU! what a pick me up!

when I was younger, I got food poisoning. I was supposed to recover from it, but I wound up with a bunch of nasty medical conditions instead. I never imagined I would become disabled from food.

so I am really glad I have been able to help spread the word every now and then about food safety and recalls, since it hopefully means a few less people going through what I have.

while I have your attention, I do not post every recall, even just for the US, so here are a few of the links I use!

recalls.gov/recent.html <- aggregate of official government recall links for the US! food, drugs, products, child safety seats, motor vehicles, and tires! (half the feeds are broken half the time, but hey, it works™! check the FDA enforcement reports for a more complete list of recalls, especially drug recalls!)

recalls for canada <- recalls for canada!

RASFF <- food recalls and safety alerts for the EU!

food safety news <- news about food safety in the US, canada, and around the world!

I was poisoned <- see where people have gotten food poisoning near you, and report your own! (worldwide!)

thanks for reading, stay safe and take care!
