I do not want to “Do my own research.” I want to pay trained accredited experts to do the research, trained accredited experts to report on findings, and trained accredited experts to make policy based on them.
I am busy af with my own job, I don’t need to do eight zillion more.

Been thinking about ancestor magic
Lots of us in the US have an ancestor who fought (and maybe died) to prevent this kind of regime from ever gaining power again
And even if you don’t believe – could it hurt to call on those ancestors to help topple this latest incarnation of totalitarianism?

Worth remembering that any time I say, “It's happening,” I’m talking about the September Nintendo Direct.
Worth remembering that any time I refer to “it happening,” I’m talking about an official English release of Treasure of the Rudras.
right just so we’re clear, what I mean by “it happening” is Criterion releasing a 4K edition of In the Cut

Old Soviet joke for today:
A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves.
After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?”
“I’m looking for the obituaries.”
“The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.”
“Not the one I’m looking for.”
