Good time to remind everyone that if you watch Satoshi Kon's Perfect Blue, you never have to watch anything Darren Aranofsky has ever made.

Suddenly reminded that there is a popular Pokemon fan game out there from the 2010s where the plot involves a town being forced to receive a vaccine with a microchip in it that induces hypnotic obedience.
sometimes you can tell Pokemon fangames are made by teenagers who think the real problem with the mainline series is that they're not grimdark enough
Reborn starts off with pokemon 9/11

I've been pretty lucky in most regards. I had an affection for the Harry Potter books growing up, but their author made dropping them from my vocabulary & nostalgia extremely easy.
Maybe Bryan Singer. Can't get myself to watch the old X-Men films or Usual Suspects knowing he's a total monster.

Question for the Skyline: What was your HARDEST "cancel"?? Like the actor/singer/athlete that was the hardest to drop.
I feel like it's always people I don't fw getting canceled so it's never really a loss.
The hardest one was maybe TI because I actually liked multiple albums by him.

Security concerns over tournament have risen
Former Fifa president Sepp Blatter on Monday suggested he supports fans boycotting World Cup matches in the United States this year due to security concerns.
Blatter gave his support to comments from Swiss anti-corruption lawyer Mark Pieth, who worked with Fifa on potential reforms when Blatter was president, saying fans should stay away from the US for the tournament. Continue reading...

Alex Pretti comes across not just as someone you'd want to know, but as the type of person who had the courage to motivate people around him to do more with their lives. His execution broke something within Americans because he really was someone you would consider an example of our highest ideals.
The execution of Alex Pretti is playing so badly because you can look at his actions and life story - his last act was helping, boy scout, athlete, health care worker to veterans - and compare those to the men who killed him and know which you would want to be your son, brother, father, uncle.

I sympathize with the CBS News staff. The intrusive urge to send the questions they actually want to send to Bari Weiss must be strong.

Beyond it being apparent that our mayor genuinely enjoys the public service work implicit in functioning municipal government, hyping up our sanitation department and getting on their side is one of the smartest decisions I've seen a newly elected politician make in NYC in a long time.

I continue to believe that FIFA will drag their feet as long as they possibly can, because they see the World Cup more as an extraction scheme than anything else. But boycotts from individual federations - especially within UEFA - would absolutely move FIFA to act.

Cowboy Bebop is awesome, because it's 49% this, 49% film noir, and 2% the harrowing tale of why you never leave anything in the fridge too long.
cowboy bebop is so interesting cause certain episodes are basically Japanese animators doing a pastiche of Italians doing a pastiche of Americans doing a pastiche of Japanese samurai movies
