I recognize that I’m likely part of the problem, but was there a lot of, “well, actually the economy is good”?

What I remember from the campaign (from my own limited media stream) is that Harris openly acknowledged that prices were too high, both for groceries and housing, and gave admittedly broad plans to address those challenges, e.g. home buyer credits, home building targets, and child tax credits. I’m not trying to be an asshole, but I legit didn’t see this as the “abandonment of the working class” that has been the popular narrative recently.

Is there still a chance of getting rid of that ugly pile of Ted Cruz?

Protect your right to punish your leaders.

Check out The Bulwark podcast. Tim Miller seems like a pretty normal gay guy, who is a republican, and hates the shit out of Trump. I honestly can’t conceive of who Vance is talking about with this.

Remember that Sisyphus was a monster that killed people that he invited into his court. We are not Sisyphus, and we should not share his punishment.

I didn’t understand what imgur had become before I clicked the link and briefly thought the library had lots of copies of Twisters in 4k.

Dr Horrible intended to be evil but never followed through.

Commenting that I’ll miss Lance Reddick in the new season in response to an Andre Braugher meme… 😢

I’m here trying to remember if Freddy’s sweater was a button-up.

I liked Blair’s “appearance” on the Bad Dates podcast.

I don’t have any idea really, but one possible contributing element is the speed of delivery. My understanding (possibly incorrectly) is that western comics are more commonly delivered on a one book per month cycle, whereas Manga delivers a lot more content in the same time period. Part of this production time can probably be attributed to coloring time (Western comics color every panel vs Manga printed in mostly black and white).

There’s also the accessibility of Manga and anime, having relatively newer characters without the burden of decades of backstory (not accounting for One Piece). Running an anime with (mostly) similar story line helps to bring potential new readers up to speed quickly with Manga, whereas the animated adaptations of western comics often seem to pick specific story arcs of comics, or make up entirely new stories.

This is why we need to ban hurricanes.

Needed to be more specific. It’s What is Wii?

Godzilla 1998

Varsity Blues

I rewatched Young Guns recently, and besides the fantastic nostalgia rush, I realized that I had only ever seen the edited for TV version

The panopticon was originally designed as a prison, so effectively Ellison is saying, “wouldn’t the world be great if everyone were in prison?”

I felt like there were so many more times when she could have Jim’d the camera. I was hoping that they would do a quick zoom on her while she knowingly looked to the camera to emphasize the “we all know this is bullshit” vibe.

The number 1 cause occurs in more cases than the number 2 cause.
