Too much apocalyptic fiction with people who have all their teeth, full stomachs, and well coiffed hair has misled several generations.

"We see here the pinnacle of human physicality on display in a entertainment ritual enjoyed by what many would call the common person. It is a strange mix of opera and martial arts performed by actors who double as body builders. While perplexing, it is an act of impressive skill and dedication."

I need a referral to the surgeons in an awful lot of forcefem fiction that can do:
FFS, VFS, large breast implants, rib reshaping, hip padding, PIVP, and a couple others, and the recipient just wakes up a week later fully operational with zero upkeep or healing.

There is a 'goldilocks zone' for conventions. Not so small that no one is really there, not so large that its all corpo and the crowds are depersonalizing.

Glad to see more anime series having the translation team credited this season, e.g. with Chitose-kun wa Ramune Bin no Naka.

Just a pity that it's happening just as Crunchyroll's subtitle styling went down the toilet...

The "Tank Police" OVAs (1988) are a great dark comedy, and funnier than the Police Academy movies

The "absurd premise" of massive police militarization & over the top collateral damage hits a lot harder these days tho, much like Robocop - the "dark" part of "dark comedy" just feels a lot darker

I think yuri as a genre really needs to have more series that avoid the usual route of high school/office romance and try to add more different stuff.

Like, what about the romance of two women that play football on the same team? Or the romance of a boxer and a fan? Or something more different?

Republicans are so incredible at party unity. Absurdly so.

In Virginia they are running a black Christian nationalist who thinks that homosexuality is "an immoral lifestyle choice" for governor alongside a white gay man who ran a blog featuring slavery and Nazi fetish content.

Gay Virginia Republican plagued by Nazi porn scandal brags running mate is ‘100% against’ marriage equality

It's a statewide political ticket of extremes.

Imagine this happening in the UK and not having to sigh 'what do their parents do?' every time you hear about a new band. Wouldn't it be great to hear music from somebody who isn't directly related to the Lord Admiral Wythenshawe Bloodfeast MP, the Butcher of Bangalore?
