Those of you enjoying Checkered Past with Brak might want to brace yourselves.

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4948619-democrats-new-ad-republicans-porn-ban/ The Democrats are using that record fundraising money to publish ads on porn sites pointing out Project 2025 specifically calls for porn to be banned.

Considering he was the one who bought it up, most likely. Also that particular site has connections to fascist Peter Thiel.

https://www.wsj.com/finance/betting-election-pro-trump-ad74aa71 WSJ confirms betting markets were thrown off by four people betting $30 million on Trump as soon as Elon said they were more accurate than polls.

I admit to having a bias, and the first step to dealing with a problem is admitting you have one. Wrestling is a weird sell in this country since it has a very dedicated audience with a lot of crossover with animation fans, as well as an equally large contingent of viewers who dismiss it as fake bullshit. It's why wrestling anime tends to be more serious-minded, they treat it more seriously there. Everything about this screams "Current Year Slop" in the worst way. MAWS filled a hole for people who wanted a nicer Superman after years of Snyder's tortured ubermensch and a legion of Homelander clones. This doesn't fill any gap like that.

IFG could go either way. It could be a surprise hit like Superman was, or it could flop hard like Unicorn. I fully admit to my bias, but I also don’t expect the rest of the audience to make Kinnikuman comparisons. I just know someone in that show will try a Kinniku Buster.

Stewart has principles. It’s our fundamental disadvantage against Trump’s fascist team.

They’ll never stop us Morty! Have no fears, we’ve got stories for years! Like, Summer becomes a robot, maybe Jerry gets a new job has Morty ever owned a bear? How about a crazy wedding? Where something happens and do do do do do. Sorry about the anime. Have no fears, we’ve got stories for years!

The Trump campaign is apparently making up polls whole cloth. https://newrepublic.com/post/187391/donald-trump-shocking-poll-performance-fake

Meanwhile, Donny’s consigliere didn’t have the cash assets to pay the judgment against him, so the courts are seizing his assets and giving them to the defendants so they can be flipped.

The previous DC Universe apparently had some things happen in broad strokes. Like there was a Suicide Squad in this universe, but Will Smith didn’t say his cringe-tastic line, and the program was eventually shut down. But most of it, namely all the Superman and Justice League stuff, was erased.

https://www.newsweek.com/election-10-22-2024-kamala-harris-donald-trump-1972922 Polling has Harris slightly being boosted from previous averages.

He didn’t lose anyone, he said he was bipartisan. Also the Trump campaign condemned the attempt at bipartisanship by ranting about the Radical Left. No one is going to hug Trump.

In-universe it’s the replacement program for the Suicide Squad after Congress declared the program inhumane and demanded it be shut down. It’s also the first piece of media to take place in the rebooted DC Universe. (Peacemaker and Blue Beetle apparently did occur in the broad strokes sense).

Finally.

https://www.newsweek.com/russias-alcohol-empire-suffers-devastating-quadruple-blow-1972731 Ukraine’s war effort has shifted to a new target, Russia’s alcohol industry.

First one is trying to do the usual “I’m a bipartisan” thing that’s popular in swing states since it mentions Biden policies as well he supported. Second one has a sign-up wall. The third one is an opinion piece from the conservative Telegraph. A lot of candidates in swing states will promote bipartisanship. Granted, the virulently reactionary GOP is having none of it, but it has worked. That’s what this is. Promotion of bipartisanship.

https://www.newsweek.com/us-election-top-issues-economy-abortion-immigration-1966274 Abortion has overtaken immigration as the second most important issue facing voters besides the economy.

McDonalds shoots back at Trump claiming Harris never worked there. https://www.rawstory.com/trump-mcdonalds-kamala-harris/?10222024

At this point the Trump campaign and honestly GOP ideology is this self-propelled hate machine. "Owning the libs" is the top priority, over environmental safety, economic safety, or even basic human decency. Liberals can be annoying. But the driving philosophy of these boomers is "I don't care if I'm miserable, so long as others are more miserable, and if I show enough loyalty to the Party, I'll be uplifted." If any of them bothered to read 1984 in depth, they would understand that the key tenent of The Party is that the masses must be made to be miserable, because that's how they keep their power. They want power and money for its own sake, and only be keeping everyone miserable can that be allowed.

More photos verifying the whole thing was staged, because anything more than a minute of hard work would cripple their god-king. Also Arnold Palmer was NOT a Trump fan.

In news surprising no one.

No it’s not. I swear, Harris keeps reporting record fundraising then we get endless emails about shortages. I have noticed Harris targets the prime time and Monday night games far more than Trump.

My guess is because it makes the finale more event programming. Not to mention when they run it back as part of those theatrical previews, you don’t feel jipped watching. Not sure how next season will handle the finale though given that the Infinity Castle arc will be a movie trilogy.

It's a French studio apparently. Speaking of, during yesterday's panel, James Gunn confirmed the series would have a sex scene, which may make things awkward if DeMarco asks for it.
