Humble Bundle has partnered with Kodansha to release a bundle of isekai series. You'll get a bunch of DRM-free digital volumes of manga based on a tier system. Humble Bundle also recently changed their interface. The buttons under "Bundle Filters" show what you get based on how much you pay. There's a dropdown labeled "Adjust Donation" to change the split on where your money goes, as some of it goes to charity.
Here's the maximum of what you can get:
Shangri-La Frontier vol 1
Goodbye! I'm Being Reincarnated! vols 1-3
The Invincible Reincarnated Ponkotsu vols 1-3
I Guess I Became the Mother of the Great Demon King's 10 Children in Another World vols 1-2
Alicia's Diet Quest vols 1-2
Clockwork Planet vols 1-10
Otherworldly Munchkin: Let's Speedrun the Dungeon with Only 1 HP! vols 1-2

According to our member Contently, the concept of having perfectly straight, white teeth is very American (or Western?). What do you guys think?

Hopefully the poll prompted you to consider your own safety nets and possibly improving them
This week's poll was suggested by jacob66. How ready are you for a huge disaster or emergency? Do you have emergency funds in your bank account? Maybe an evacuation plan in case of fire, earthquake, hurricane, etc? Food and water stored somewhere? Maybe access to a nuclear bunker or fallout shelter? Any skills in wilderness survival?

It's like all those shounen protagonists who don't like to follow the rules
This week's poll was suggested by Crybaby8, and it collides with one of my other hobbies: playing D&D 5E and watching Critical Role. If you're unfamiliar with the concept of alignment, just Google "alignment chart" for examples and explanations.

So you still need an average plot with great action scenes to be considered a "good movie". Welcome to the summer blockbuster?
This week's poll about action movies was suggested by jacob66. You know how a lot of action movies have dumb as nails plot? How bad can that plot be while you still consider that a good movie? Got any examples for us?

I haven't watched it yet, but I've heard The Boys is good
This week's poll was suggested by Joese. How do you think the world would turn out if suddenly everyone got superpowers? So not just a select few, but everyone.

Oddly enough, not a popular poll despite how easy it is to answer
Another poll suggested by jacob66. How many new series are original? Although in the comments below, maybe you can split them by types too. For example, I feel like manhua generally is less innovative.

Coincidentally, I just finished watching Memories of the Alhambra last week.
This week's poll was suggested by jacob66. There's been a lot of series that explore playing with virtual reality, of which some examples are Sword Art Online or Ready Player One, possibly getting "stuck" in the game. If those games existed, would you play them? Or would you avoid them because of the dangers to your brain?
