Look, when you have an excuse to raise the military budget you know it’s never going away.  

I had suppressed that Starship Troopers had sequels.

When I saw this announced on Twitter earlier today I wondered which sci-fi dystopia it would most fit into. I’m going with Starship Troopers. It works as something pro-fascist and and a parody of fascism.  

It seems like they’re adopting the US strategy of just pretending Covid isn’t a thing anymore. 

Who could have predicted this in the company of the son of apartheid era mine owner?

I keep saying that the Great Lakes states/provinces should form it's own nation before the rest of North America becomes a Mad Max style hellscape overrun by dinosaurs.

I found the older stuff more grounded, esp. in the UC timeline. Gundam Wing seems much more fantastical not to mention the fever dream that is G Gundam. Actual toy sales saved the original series after it was a ratings disaster. So I guess in the end it was made to sell toys in a haphazard way. 

Robotech and Gundam Wing really helped me survive high school even if my classmates assumed all anime was nothing but hentea. 

You’d might think killing off your audience is a bad business model but the don’t want to get outflanked to the right by Newsmax or OAN. I think it’s hilarious that the vax might sink Trump’s quest for the GOP nomination in 2024, I’m just worried the GOP will find someone competently evil.

You’ve really helped me get motivated to get in shape for the New Year. 

I was wondering how I could describe to what I call Tucker Face to people. This is perfect!

Didn’t Eileen try to date JFK Jr?

They didn’t drag it out, it got canceled right when it was the most interesting.

I only keep my FB account to see photos of nephew and cousins’ kids and to share articles critical of Facebook.

Similar situation in NYS. The state constitution leads to clunky and inefficient governance. A few years back a referendum for a constitutional convention was on the ballot. It was universally opposed by clean government advocates because they knew the lobbyists in Albany would write the thing.

I had to Google buckaroos see if you meant dollars or some d list crypto currency.

The Simpsons doesn't really predict things so much as society continues to be horrible about things brought to our attention decades ago.

This is why I just use my social security number as my password for everything.

I always thought the hatred of Meghan inside the Royal Family and the British public was a purely media created creation, which I think is still true to an extent, but the blatant racism angle was staring me in the face the whole time and I was ignoring it.
