There are many things that infuriate me about the pundit class right now, but probably one of the top on my list: Project 2025 has posted their plans for every single federal department on their website. They have a training academy for prospective appointees. Where are the hard hitting op-eds?

Oh sweet, Dungeon People looks like fun, too. A bit silly, but I suspect I'll enjoy it. But again, one episode so far. Guess we'll see!

I Parry Everything is pretty funny, one ep in. An MC who doesn't know how strong he is will always be funny for a few eps, but we'll see how it goes in the next few weeks. It takes a lot of work to keep it up for longer than that, so they usually drop it, and what takes its place is the whole show.

Oshi no Ko is going to have a hard time living up to the first season, especially without the high drama of "Idol" by Yoasobi to kick off each week, but the first ep has me coming back next week, and that's not nothing.

It's the start of a new #anime season, and if you don't know, there's shows that aren't on Crunchyroll.
HiDive has Oshi no Ko, Season 2, I Parry Everything, and something called Dungeon People that I'm thinking of checking out, at least.
I mean yeah, CR has way TF more, but still.

The fact that Trump is actually weakly attempting to pretend he doesn’t back Project 2025 = EXACTLY why you need to be telling everyone you know about their evil, violent plans.

Look, all I'm saying is that if we're following the Roman model this isn't the fall of the American Empire it's the fall of the American Republic and the *beginning* of the American Empire. Because that's when you get "dictators for life."

Tl;Dr: the "why I don't vote" guy does vote, but rather than a) retract the piece or b) include the fact that he does actually vote (and almost certainly right wing) the NYT just changed the name of the piece. If for some reason I cannot possibly fathom you still have a subscription in 2024, end it

Notice how everyone is somehow talking about Biden Too Old right now, and NOT about how the Supreme Court just legalized Trump being a dictator for life and gutted the administrative state, and how the Heritage Foundation is now issuing terrorist threats? Think that might not be an accident?

This is how it's going to go. There's no regulations anymore because SCOTUS says so. A truly insane, country-breaking thing to say, which should prompt the executive branch to start pushing for an overhaul of the court But they won't because fuck you that's why
