Successful propaganda play by the government based on the Russian invasion of Ukraine that they’ve bought into because they can’t read.

There are actually dipshit centrists who support this kind of thing who tend to be relatively wealthy, retired, and white. Not enough to swing an election, but who else are the dems supposed to appeal to, the huge portion of the country that doesn’t vote at all? I think not.

Bernie is just sincerely friends with Genocide Joe. This is because Bernie is a liberal.

Reminder of the time a bunch of Obama staffers were giving a tour to west wing writers and were all excited to show them where the characters from the show would be, and the writers were just like “okay but that was just a tv show, what about the stuff that actually happens?”

This is what I was going to say lol, who’re they going to run, ratboy?

He’s right, we all get together at the battle box and fight with the giant foam polearms from american gladiators.

He’s constantly at risk of his head just doing that.

Manga:

• Gave Oresama Teacher a shot on someone’s rec (probably yours lol), didn’t love it though and dropped. The shoujo trope of school girls being attracted to teachers always ick me out.
• Elden Ring: Road to the Erdtree, the official Elden Ring manga which is… surprisingly good? And a comedy? Tsundere Ranni?
• All the official Arknights manga (that I know of). Some good, some bad, tone all over the place, it’s an ad for gambling. Records of Originium: Rhine Lab is probably the best (and one of the more depressing ones).
• Almost done Solo Levelling, it was always bad but jesus christ the ending is so goddam bad lmao.

Anime:

• Very slowly watching Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. I don’t enjoy it. Almost done the first season and it’s kinda picking up now that there’s a continuous story but all the standalone episodes are bad (except for Tachikoma’s Day Out).
• Oshi No Ko S2 has started, and it is indeed a show about the entertainment industry. Still pretty good but nothing amazing thus far. Current arc seems to be about the mangaka being upset about other adaptations of his work lol.
• Patlabor The Movie. Not great tbh. A very boring mystery that’s solved halfway through the movie, and then a robot fight scene that feels out of place.
• Zom 100. Kinda watching it with a friend but he didn’t like it so I might have to keep watching it on my own. It’s okay but not great, for a show about a black company the politics are just not there.
• The Eminence in Shadow. Watching it with friends. A parody of horny isekai fantasy that is still nonetheless a horny isekai fantasy. When it works, it really works, but when it doesn’t work it REALLY doesn’t work. EXTREME warning for anime horniness.

Edit: Also the first episode of the deer meme anime wasn’t very good.

“Redditors and Twitter users” just doesn’t have the same ring to it, y’know?

It’s pretty solid if you’re doing an int build.
