I've never bought a magna before, but I just had to get started on DinD so I bought the first two Volumes from a local book store.

The Mimic scene was a meme that was running around a year or two back. Once I recognized the show from that, I was hooked.

We just finished watching ATLA for the dozenth time, this time with our kiddo, she liked it, but definitely over her head at this age.

Oh sure, but that's what's good. It hits on multiple levels.

Thanks Comrade!

Grab a big box of tissues and watch Grave of Fireflies. Hard pressed to name a piece of cinema that's made me a bigger anti-war guy.

For lighter stuff - Full Metal Alchemist (I'm partial to Brotherhood over the original, but they're both good). Avatar: the Last Airbender is Amerime and a bit young, but a genuinely great story. I've got a special place in my heart for "Scraped Princess" and "Escaflowne" as well.

Two of my favorite new anime, Delicious in Dungeon and Frieren, also great stuff. They're just not finished yet, so you can't binge them.

Does it say what threw the flag. I'm certainly not seeing anything in the history.

UK politicians/media cannot stop shitting the bed. They've got the Sidam touch.

Yes, but it's a similarly fucked Western media environment

I usually see white people use it against people of color of Cuban descent, but never against white people with the exact same viewpoints who are white.

I've seen Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and Robert Menendez described as gusanos quite a few times.

I do see a trend in Terminally Online Media to have a Token Black Guy give the "I dream of a free and democratic Cuba!" line, and then a dozen other extremely generic accounts scream "Racism!" at anyone who shows disgust. But there is no shortage of pasty faced "Fidel took all my slaves" mfers who earn the label, regularly.

People like him don't seem to realize that the fact that people are talking about it means it was an effective protest.

It might be, but there's some question of what impact popular disapproval carries in a decayed democracy.

He lit himself on fire in front of the Israeli Embassy. The Houthis lit a few merchant ships passing through the Gulf of Adan on fire. Who has done more for the Palestinian people?

Like obviously he didn't expect his actions to immediately solve the problem, dipshit, the purpose was to increase the pressure on the establishment to stop supporting a genocidal regime.

That's definitely the intent. I don't know if it will be the result. I have a sneaking suspicion that guys like Biden and Blinken will simply whine about being unfairly maligned by the Illegal Dressed Mental Health Lone Wolf, while insisting everyone who doesn't endorse them during the election season is responsible for the bombs Trump drops in his stead.

Self-sacrifice turned Aaron into a brilliant symbol of non-violent protest in a world where cops shoot non-violent protesters.
