When the rental market is dogshit, there is no "moving out" without taking on an excessive financial load. I hate my apartment. It's tiny, roach-infested, and the only thing I can see out the window is the windows of the building next door and the asshole staring, so the windows stay closed. But my family going "Oh, then move somewhere else!" is re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic for an extra $500-$800 a month. Unless I get a better job, which seems impossible, there is no leaving this...prison without bankrupting myself.

I trust Walz hasn’t had any affairs with furniture. -
The US Stock stelloff as a ripple effect has been brutal as well. And the worst people you know are trying to take advantage with Trump and friends getting #KamalaCrash trending, despite her being the VP.

2024 Presidential Elections: the schadenfreude commences

The presidents should be debating. Without changing the location and rules immediately. This is on ABC, not CNN. -

He did one of his late-night tirades, and demanded it be on Fox with no fact checking. Which is telling. -

I shouldn't be surprised. I actually had to clear it up with some friends yesterday. "No, she wasn't a man, ever." -
Deadpool and Wolverine - 8/10 A farewell to the superhero movies that came before the MCU juggernaut that kind of knows Phase 4 was bleh and runs with it to its benefit. Certainly a funnier fourth wall breaker than She-Hulk.

I almost booked a vacation somewhere in the middle of rainy season, with nonstop rain and thunderstorm warnings on the daily. Thankfully I got a full refund thanks to a rather busy call center extending the grace time for the refund. So crisis averted.

They did. But “Joe is old” doesn’t work when Joe isn’t running. -
Jeff Harris shares his extensive thoughts on the state of Toonami
Jman replied to Sketch's topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
I admit I wouldn’t be as hard on it if not for three things - Being on Adult Swim. Not having an original art style. Being introduced the same time Kinnikuman Perfect Origin is airing on Netflix. Compare the match in the preview of IFG to the Terryman vs Max Radial fight that’s the opener of the new season. It’s not a fair comparison. If you’re going to do an original art style wrestling show for kids and families, then you have some freedom, because at that point it’s an artistic expression. If you’re going to deliberately imitate anime, well, between Kinnikuman and Tiger Mask W, what does this show have that those don’t? The worst that happened with Unicorn was being a kids show that followed Primal, arguably Genndy’s most pure artistic expression in a show, and something so popular The Simpsons riffed on it. Big shoes to fill to put it mildly. -

Well there’s the tried and tested “Flop Girl,” “Invisible Ratings Girl,” and “One Season Girl”. For more specific insults, in addition to that one, we have “Tony Khan books Tiger Mask W,” and “Adult Swim Midcard”. -

It’s particularly weird since the woman in question had a 9% KO ratio. How the hell did her opponent qualify for the Olympics? She’s going to get dropped the next round and that will be the end of it. -

More unions that were hesitant to endorse Joe are quickly moving to back Kamala Harris. -

I don't subscribe to the idea that geographic origin or nationality makes someone's work inherently superior or inferior. That's ridiculous and it always has been. What annoys me is that the few action shows we do seem to be getting from people not named Genndy Tartatovsky or made by a comic book publisher try to imitate anime, and then do a piss-poor job at it because they get rid of the style and the edges to make something blander, uglier, and more boring. The first episode of the show is available online in certain pockets. It's not worth defending. Especially when the action is so choppy, the designs don't work, and the whole thing feels like it was done by someone who watched five seconds of an anime, thought it was "probLEMaTIc!" and thought they could do better. The designs are bleh, the premise is stupid and not in a funny way, and the action doesn't work. This when we have perfectly fine Western animation that's hoarded on Max. I don't see this being an article if it's all bad - I think this is why I was talking up Creature Commandos so much. Because it looks different, and it has big names and big talent working on it. The sort of thing that gets attention. -

Italian sausage at the soccer arena. Went to watch two European teams in town with my brother who’s a fan.

There’s conflicting reports if they were unbanned. The fact that they were banned after raising $4 million is telling. -
