They forgot to post the Iranian miniskirt photo oh no.

Nice. Hope things are going well for you. A piece of unsolicited advice, try to have a maintenance plan for the later months. It gets easier as you go, but alcohol is a uniquely tricky substance to stay off.

Does anyone have the full video?

Sort by “under $5” and grab anything you recognize.

Probably not going to be everyone’s cup of tea, but Emma Goldman’s Anarchism and Other Essays is still a real treat to read. It’s short and punchy in a way that I think a lot of Marxists really struggle with. Probably skip the last chapter unless you really want a critique of 19th century media.

Insert “google.com##.hdzaWe” as a custom filter into ublock origin and AI results largely disappear. It also seems to cripple loading youtube comments for some reason, but you have options if you want.

Started the campaign for Battlefield 1 yesterday, and its pretty OK. I remembered really liking Battlefield Vietnam when I was a kid, so its a bit of a let down. I was expecting far more cinematic scenes with how heavily they marketed it when it came out. My experience so far has been Shoot > wait in a single spot > get out and fix vehicle > Wait. I don’t know if I’ll ever like a bigger shooter as much as I liked the original Modern Warfare 2.

Luckily, it seems like its pretty short which will let me turn my attention back to XCOM Enemy Unknown when I finish it.

Is there a thriving music scene in the DPRK, and if so where can I go to hear some music that might not be found on the wikipedia page for the DPRK?

You can’t declare a general strike.

There’s lots of top level posts on there, but the “users online”, as well as upvotes is extremely low, which makes me think that a lot of people are posting into the void. You could be right, but the lack of participation that I’m seeing gives me a bit of pause. Having it be more functional than a link dump might be beneficial.

As long as the original intention of “beer money” (eg: side cash through crowdwork is included). I don’t know if a comm entirely filled with referral links would get many visitors.

Can you add a spoiler tag to this?

Please just ask your doctor. They aren’t going to report you.

Well, it’s not like he could make MTG any worse at this point, I guess.

Twice the 2008 Obama campaign for reference.

She also mentioned that America doesn’t have a leg to stand on in regards to Ukraine. Pretty rare to see this type of guest on Democracy Now, especially this close to the election.

I was never really a big fan of GITS for its action sequences, but they are a nice touch. I think you’re right in your second point. The only anime that comes to mind in that milieu would be Kaiba (Kino’s Journey too, but that’s a totally different premise).

What would you recommend instead of GITS? I’ve always had a soft spot for it considering it was my first “adult” anime.

This month:

Last Exile: WW1 aesthetics, but taking place entirely in flying ships. Tons of passable CGI with very ok dogfights. It’s pretty average, but you do get one of the leads as Haruko from FLCL. I’ve had this one on my to watch list for over a decade, so I’m pretty disappointed that it turned out to be passable at best.

Oshi No Ko S2: I’m also disappointed with this one, but for a different reason. The first episode (movie?) of the first season was absolutely stellar. Psychological thriller par excellance. It seems to just be a harem with pretty animation now, I guess? I feel like it has all the potential to be something great, but it misses so many layups that I might just drop it considering what is supposed to be coming in the manga. I’m particularly irked with Kana being written to fawn over the main character, when she has the depth to be more than that.

I’m looking forward to starting Dan Da Dan sometime soon considering the studio behind it.
