With all the insanity regarding political crimes, it looks like people wanted to remind us of good old fashioned rich persons crimes. I think the late Tupac put it best…

Sand Land 1.

As a Yankees fan, I must boo this by default. Maybe they’ll do an Avatar night.

Steak, leftover potatoes and salad.

Leg of lamb, duck fat air fried potatoes, and salad with French red wine.

He’s just pissed Obama killed Osama and not him,

Here I thought they’d fight the cast of Cobra Kai first.

And now there is but one.

News is specifically blaming Islamic extremists. Which has nothing to do with Ukraine, but does fit the “false flag to horrify the domestic population” theory.

Dollars to donuts Netflix airs the rumored new Black Clover season.

Trump found his money, again. A digital shell company based in China merged with Truth Social to pump $3.5 billion into Trump’s coffers. For what it’s worth, the company’s stock fell 5% after the announcement and is facing several lawsuits.

Look, just make a Mortal Kombat anime and we’ll call it a day.

Really?

Delicious in Dungeon 12. I am gonna miss this show, especially since there’s a lot more manga. Bang Brave Bang Bravern 11. In a just world it would be two cour at least.

I’m sure stuff was edited. You’re hitting the point where Robotech starts to significantly divorce itself from Macross and that’s only going to ramp up. To be fair though -

Yeah, but will it meet the goal? That’s doubtful. And bankruptcy, the usual out here, would screw with his ability to raise campaign funds.

Last I checked those run a pretty penny. You’ll definitely need to hit the high seas. As for the Robotech dub, you haven’t heard their Minmei “sing” yet IIRC. Just remember Mari Ijima initially disowned the role because it pretty much overshadowed everything she did (although she eventually came to terms with it and even reprised the role for the ADV dub), it was that iconic, so comparing it to Robotech’s singing is…yeah.

During the OG Toonami days, there were three shows that the crew wanted that random buyouts prevented from happening - Slayers, which Fox Kids bought but never aired (because Lord knows there was no way around all the flat-chest jokes made at Lina's expense when she's the main character and everyone makes them),Vision of Escaflowne which Fox bought, but then gave up on because there was no way to edit the thing to their standards, and Magic Knight Rayearth, which Fox didn't buy, but was the result of some rather nasty infighting with Sega and the original rights holder since they thought it could have been a big show in tandem with a Sega Saturn game, but by the time they had finished arguing, the window had long since passed and the game was eventually just thrown to Working Designs as the Saturn's last official Western release. I think any of those would have been ideal, with my only concern being how much better Toonami would have been with the flat-chest jokes in Slayers. The AS Action era? Where do I start? How about half the stuff that ADV or Genon had but didn't meet their punishing standards for taste? Look, I may have substantially softened on Paranoia Agent over the years, but to say it wasn't the right show for the Action block at the time was a gross understatement. Or Moribito, the show they dumped at 3am and their one ad for said "this is going to flop, but we're gonna air it anyway." Was it any wonder they were all set to phase out anime before the Toonami block prank injected life back into the viewership? Being a fan of anime with AS action as your only source of material sometimes felt like being in a bad relationship. They knew they were the only game in town save the time AniMonday was a thing, and they were happy to lord it over the viewership. I think that's part of what screwed them over long term, they were so militant about being the only option, when streaming came along, and didn't beat you over the head about how you should be ashamed of watching this crap, they had no real way to present themselves as attractive, not helped by making their audience hyper-aware of the ratings and the effect it had on programming, then whining when the fans became self-taught experts on Nielsen graphs.

Over on Max, Ninja Kamui is still #5 in the top 10, with only real heavy hitters like John Oliver and Curb Your Enthusiasm ahead of it. This week also has Quiet on the Set ahead of it, which is four hours of Warner tearing down Nickelodeon and their culture of abuse.

The trains refuse to work. Combined with the fact that I usually clock in remotely and I’m worried someone will ask questions. Then again I hate this job so damn much.

A dictatorship is actually shit for corpos, save those in the inner circle. Government control, seizure of assets if you back the wrong horse, etc. Most conservatives would rather a government with weak controls, which dictatorships notoriously have plenty of.

The rich want a conservative government that doesn’t impede their profits. Not a dictatorship. If the GOP and their goals don’t align, they’ll make a new Conservative Party to replace the GOP.

Considering rumors of a reboot of Macross divorced from the Harmony Gold holdings, the idea that Disney ends up pushing this franchise over the finish line in the US would be freaking hilarious.

David Lynch's Dune sucked compared to Denis Villeneuve. But I kind of like the soundtrack to Lynch's a bit more, even if it was just more proof that Lynch missed the entire goddamn point of the novel. I'm still annoyed with Lynch cutting the Weirding Way. ""Kung fu on sand dunes would look silly!" Your whole goddamn movie looked ridiculous. You were the one who put Sting in that codpiece!
