“A strong female character doesn’t have to be physically strong” doesn’t apply to shonen battle series, a genre where the fights are an integral element of narrative progression and a character that can’t fight is like a musical theater character that can’t sign
From the feminist perspective Hinata is arguably worse than Sakura because she’s almost nothing more than the archetypical wish fulfillment waifu but at the same time she has so little screen time it’s not like she takes away from the plot and shonen’s aren’t known for their romance plots

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

This is ehy I can't really be upset at Polanski, you can tolerate Greece and Turkey pointing daggers at each other; but the US becoming increasingly hostile to other NATO members is an exsistential threat to the foundations of the alliance.
Going to become the kind of guy who says "Amerikkka"
May the empire collapse

"A death-haunted Trump is fed a steady stream of AI-generated news and polls while he focuses 100% of his efforts on building a ballroom that would dwarf the rest of the White House while navigating a series of accellerating and hidden health crises" is my take on the current situation.

Have any news outlets that ran scathing front page headlines, op-eds and editorials about Biden pardoning Hunter admitted that they were wrong after we've seen Trump maliciously prosecute Comey, James, McIver etc?

I think Stancil drives people particularly crazy because he breaks the way they expect social media to work. Like the way it's supposed to work is "you say something I don't like, I post a pithy dunk, my followers laugh, and you log off." But Will doesn't log off. He will never log off.

1. I do not think this is going to go well for them, because it is going to be just as clown shoes as everything they've tried to throw at Comey or James
2. "we can go after ex-military congressmembers for things they say in public" is really not a pandora's box the GOP wants opened

Linking opposition to the political extremes of the left and right with rapists and Israelphiles is the worst strategy imaginable.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

We do, and it’s genuinely pathetic that one hippie schizo with an Italian garbage rod was enough to shatter the brains of an entire generation at the same time he shattered the brain of a philanderer held together with duct tape and steel rods for no reason than that he was good on B&W TV
My first political memory - exactly 62 years ago right now, a 4-year-old boy trying to understand his mom's tears - is still the biggest event in my lifetime. We still (IMO) don't *really* know who killed JFK, but we know the public's trust was shattered. It's a straight line to today's mess

This is not a constructive response to Trump pulling-off getting Hispanics to vote for their own deportation.
Having enough charisma to fake being a moderate while having radical policies is the gold standard for a politician, Mamdani is one of the very few Left-Liberals who cam do this!

A basic test of political IQ is whether you are befuddled by why Trump was able to get away with doing this, while Jeb Bush obviously wouldn't.

A concise demonstration of the weakness of 'moderation'. Trump was a strong enough politician that he was able compromise on abortion while still having the confidence of the pro-life movement.
Mamdani is demonstrating this same ability.

I think Mamdani is doing what he has to for his voters by charming the pants off Donald Trump, and I'm glad he's got the natural charisma to do it, but I do want to point out that people would absolutely savage Whitmer or Shapiro for doing the same
