Twice the 2008 Obama campaign for reference.

She also mentioned that America doesn’t have a leg to stand on in regards to Ukraine. Pretty rare to see this type of guest on Democracy Now, especially this close to the election.

I was never really a big fan of GITS for its action sequences, but they are a nice touch. I think you’re right in your second point. The only anime that comes to mind in that milieu would be Kaiba (Kino’s Journey too, but that’s a totally different premise).

What would you recommend instead of GITS? I’ve always had a soft spot for it considering it was my first “adult” anime.

This month:

Last Exile: WW1 aesthetics, but taking place entirely in flying ships. Tons of passable CGI with very ok dogfights. It’s pretty average, but you do get one of the leads as Haruko from FLCL. I’ve had this one on my to watch list for over a decade, so I’m pretty disappointed that it turned out to be passable at best.

Oshi No Ko S2: I’m also disappointed with this one, but for a different reason. The first episode (movie?) of the first season was absolutely stellar. Psychological thriller par excellance. It seems to just be a harem with pretty animation now, I guess? I feel like it has all the potential to be something great, but it misses so many layups that I might just drop it considering what is supposed to be coming in the manga. I’m particularly irked with Kana being written to fawn over the main character, when she has the depth to be more than that.

I’m looking forward to starting Dan Da Dan sometime soon considering the studio behind it.

Putting up posters is cheaper and less legally dubious.

Is running the Native American caucus again this year?

Death to “Low Fantasy”, Long live “Magical Realism”.

He’s from Philly, so you know he’s a fighter.

It got so bad that Luis Arce was expelled from MAS last year.

About 40 hours into a Stardew Valley run, and I forgot how fun the game was (stopped playing in 2016 or 2017). I feel like I’ve barely scratched the surface. There’s so much in this game, I can barely believe 1 guy made it (and continues to work on it over a decade later).

No one is making you call it “X” bro.

CPUSA was literally half (or more than half on the high end) feds in the 60s. You can’t fix that.

Nice to see the deep state is already concocting different ways to kill this woman. Frankly, I’m surprised someone hasn’t taken a shot at AMLO yet.

I’ve been looking for a short version of “Surveillance Valley” to send to people, so thanks for this.

Who?

Absolutely unnecessary to do to anyone, much less a 73 year old woman. Barbaric.

Some of her advisors this time around are literally on the board of “Friends of Socialist China” this time around, so expect China related freakouts in the coming months.
