Oh and I’ll give you two easy ones: Newtypes - one of core sci-fi aspects of Gundam is how becoming a spacefaring civilization affects human evolution, limitlessly. And Minovsky particles are radiation that can be used to shutdown sensors & comms necessitating close range line of sight dogfighting.
It’s so wild and liberated even though it understands the original Mobile Suit Gundam down to individual frames at times, which I totally don’t. Even its mecha designs push against convention (I howled with laughter when that one went full Eva 01), just like what it does with story and legacy.
Or just read up on Char’s history, with his romantic interest Lalah, up through the movie Char’s Counterattack (I think Origins covers some of this?) Gquuuuux is a crazy what if, supposing Gundam’s canon is so established it can handle an alt history changed by Char getting the white Gundam.
It descends into Evangelion 3.0 + 1.0 madness the more it goes on, incomprehensible crazy stuff going on but the vibe immaculate. You really only need to know the first Mobile Suit Gundam series for full effect, just the movie cutdowns which I think are on YouTube for free now..?
Ends with Gru dry heaving. Makes $2 billion. Universal forces the animation studio to do a sequel in which the people tortured by Gru ask the minions about why they took part in it.
documentary in which the Minions reenact their past atrocities in Indonesia.
Make crab salts legal again
Got around to Gundam GQuuuuuuX was so exhilarated by what it does with old, established icons. The chaotic energy & ambition much more my speed than Witch From Mercury. So obviously the child of Evangelion, FLCL & even Gunbuster. It’s Across the Gundam-Verse, willing to be heretical & blasphemous.
Was amazed & happy to see it referenced in Gundam Gquuuuuuux
Just went to see Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band play New Jersey and Garden State boomers are sooooo pissed. Last week I went to Lady Gaga’s final show of her Mayhem tour in NYC and my ears are ringing harder tonight from people with white hair up way past their bedtime booing ICE and DHS.
The USA made it to the moon, but they overexposed all the film footage so they secretly reshot it in a studio
The professional managerial class isn’t going to stop Palantir we clearly need teenagers piloting Gundams to destroy them
Watching Palantir do Sephiroth posting about multiculturalism and I would like to remind everyone that they were doing corporate fake woke shit just like every other company.
Palantir are about six months away from ordering their employees to leave audio logs scattered around their offices
This is sicker than any postal service track
A man passes his grey poupon mustard from his rolls Royce to another visitor of Epstein island in another rolls Royce
Then how would you find other people to share Grey Poupon mustard with
They look horribly unfun to drive I’d much rather sling around a civic type R for just one day
Oh my god, the nav system on this Rolls Royce literally lets you redline entire neighborhoods. The no go zones are real!!
Welcome to being a writer..?
Nothing anyone ever writes is good, you never know what it really is even years later even if people like it. But it is written.
The Atlantic saying they’ve got 9 sources on the freak out + sources in the hospitality industry is such a flex
William Turton @WilliamTurton A source sent me this photo of Kash Patel's customized Nike's. The shoes feature a number 9 (Patel is the 9th FBI director), a Punisher skull (a vigilante killer from Marvel Comics), and his personal logo (K$H). The backs of the shoes show the FBI motto: "Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity". Patel was photographed wearing them at an FBI Academy event that featured UFC fighters. EGRITY 9
Kash Patel’s Punisher logo custom yellow Nikes are the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever heard about a 46 year old podcaster who works in law enforcement and competition is fierce
Look up the photo of what sailors are eating on deployment right now
Here read about what a total fuckup loser mall ninja Kash Patel is for free here, full of gems, my favorite one is how he’s concerned ‘FBI merch’ doesn’t look aggressive enough??
It’s pretty funny the Atlantic says they confirmed Patel having a panic attack believing he was fired from 9 different sources.
Hegseth and Patel running the US like it’s Fyre Festival
As it was written lol
And now, the FULL TRAILER for THE TERROR: DEVIL IN SILVER.
I’m going to say this trailer “rips.” It might even be “a banger.”
This show has taken four years of my life. You finally get to see it May 7th.
From @victorlavalle.bsky.social, Karyn Kusama, Ridley Scott & me.
LOOK AT THIS CAST!
Somehow trying to make amends for the complicity of having just paid taxes that will pay for a $3 million missile that will kill children in another country
If your response to a group of teenagers saying your anti-trans hate speech will get people killed is ‘well I’m more famous and rich than you’ then force them to be the audience for a lecture you release on Netflix, you got serious issues with your own self esteem you’re taking out on the world.
