    It depends on what you mean by gone. I think a lot of them are still around, but I also think they have changed (some of) their positions out of opportunism. For example, a lot of the free market or bust folks did a heel turn and started wanting social media to get regulated or even put under state control because someone got banned, we even saw that here on this tiny corner of the internet. So now I find myself, someone who is decidedly not fond the lazy fairy mindset regarding businesses, in the strange position of defending billion dollar corporations from being regulated from guys who were approvingly quoting Hayek less than a decade ago. Truly wild ****.

    I'm aware of that, there was even a town here in Texas that tried it and imploded. Funny how the biggest stans of the free market seem to be the ones who understand it the least. I don't think they're the only ones behind defending the (public) schools, and that the weirdo (and almost entirely white) christians are the bigger players within the Republicans on this particular issue. They've not only got more sway presently, but have a history of opposition to public schools ranging from nominally secular requirements to opposing integration. Here is an old article that goes over who I'm talking about: https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2014/05/religious-right-real-origins-107133/ As an aside, I think the libertarian wing of the Republican party has been wholly subsumed, often willingly, and is marginal at best to Republican policy.

    I guess this is one way of handling the teacher shortage. By now it shouldn't be a surprise that the Texas government would do so in the stupidest way possible, but here I am shocked. There's been a weird right-wing push for private schools and home schooling, I'd say this is pushing for that under the guise of brown people bad....but the same folks who brown people bad appeals to are mostly already in the anti-public school crowd.

    It seems I have succeeded in being a good or bad influence. You had me by dystopian. Time to add to the watch list. That doesn't sound as bad as the sausage scene.

    It's appropriate. Very appropriate.

    The same places (in the US) that are banning abortion are the same places that are rank near the bottom in those regards. They also just happen to be the same places we're seeing the anti-CRT and LGBTQ (especially the T) laws being put into place. The reactionary agenda to strip away what meager protections of privacy and bodily autonomy marginalized groups have is in full swing with the ghouls packed into courts and in the state governments. Overturning the right to abortion is only the start and it's only going to get worse. Big city school was the same. We also had a playground for student parents with a dozen or so kids. Abstinence only didn't seem to work well.

    Congress could have fixed it back in 2009 when Democrats had a filibuster proof majority. They didn't then and they won't now. Without irony we can say "Thanks Obama". The truth is that the Democrats have mistakenly assumed the Supreme Court is an apolitical institution and that Republicans weren't truly dedicated to outlawing abortion. As a result, we're about to see a war launched against bodily autonomy and privacy from the conservative legal machine while the dems yell at everyone to vote, ignoring they control congress snf the white house right now. If you're religious it's time to pray, because the government sure as **** ain't coming to help.

    Hopefully without the sewer gangbang though. I think josei is for adult women while seinen is for adult men. Both would be fine with me, something like a magical realist take on retaining childhood optimism into the oppressive real world of work and responsibility that is modern life would be kino for me. But my tastes really do go crazy for weird ****.

    Braised short ribs and mashed potatoes. The meat was fantastic, but I think I need to cook the sauce down instead of just straining it. On the bright side, I now have a sizeable amount of beefy red wine liquid that can be used later this week in something.

    Komi Can't Communicate: s1 part 2 episode 13 Naijimi uses the Behelit to sacrifice their friends and......oh wait, wrong anime. Uh, there was a guy version of Komi and some videogames. I don't really remember much else because I was cleaning up the kitchen with Komi playing in the background. As the pattern seems to go for this show, I'm more bored than offended like @majestic seems to be. Netflix is also trying to get me to watch Bubble, which I may check out when I'm in the mood for a sledgehammer (of exposition) to the face. Well we can't have that. Sorry Shinji, you'll have to get in someone else's robot.

    Can it can devour Angels and cause the Near Third Impact?
  15. PK htiw klaw eriF
    From. It's dumb at times but it held my interest. I think they're doing another season so I guess I'll see how that goes.

    You know who else is back?

    All things considered, the prequels look better with the hindsight of the sequels. I mean, they're not great by any means and Lucas' best is probably American Graffiti, but they did have a consistent idea behind them while the sequels were made with no overarching idea besides making Mickey money. And it shows, we can laugh at Darth Edgelord or podracing but all of that was better than the remake of IV. If there is a brightside to the sequels, it's that aspiring writers can take solace in that "somehow Palpatine has come back to life" was good enough for one of the biggest movie studios to go with a tentpole film.

    I'm sure as hell not clicking on that trailer.

    Gimlets. I'm not hungover so I guess I was responsible.

    Feed her nuclear waste to grow to gigantic proportions and use her against your enemies.

    I read this as bioshounen. Which would be a bit weird.
