This is why I'm a bit more surprised that the US right has stayed consistent this time around, seeing as the "frogboy" wing, while keen on a clash of civilizations, are at best indifferent to Israel and at worst convinced the latter is engineering most of the things they don't like.

Well, considering that this thread has gone far beyond what tec envisioned for it -- indeed, he's only posted twice in the past three pages so far -- I'm not sure that's as much of a worry as it might once have been. 🙃 But, that said, everyone's got a right to only share what they want to, of...

Let's give them a moment, shall we? A long time back, I found myself on a web bulletin board devoted to issues of interest to Asian-American communities. There was a person on said board who said they were researching a hypothesis that Japanese women who emigrate to North America and marry...

For those of us who don't have Tumblr logins....

Now this club... is full of cute Nendoroids! I saw how they resolved Sayori. The blurb promised Mr. Cow but I've not seen the model yet.

Continuing the cosplay themes, here's a tour of Akihabara courtesy of Kiki Miley's Delivery Service!

Una McCormack wrote a story, as I recall, with a B-arc involving a post-Dominion War Cardassian police detective. There were some comparisons between how things were in the old system compared to under Allied Reconstruction. Interestingly enough, law enforcement wasn't all that resistant to...

I may as well link to Rebecca Schoenkopf's editorial on Yr Wonkette. There used to be a running gag about comments not being allowed on that site, but she's had to lock down some threads, and she gave her reasons why....

I have to share this.... For all those who watched or read Oh My Goddess!, I'm sure it crossed your mind at least once that Belldandy seemed just a little too practically perfect in every way. (and we won't even get into how a minor Norse goddess somehow fits the Yamato nadeshiko trope.) Did...

It's.... not quite what I was expecting for October themes, but with tec seemingly absent from his own thread, I can't see why it wouldn't count. Motorbike cosplay, we'll call it. Besides, it'll be hard to top my effort last year. And speaking of cosplay -- this video was in our DDLC thread a...

With the book club all full up, Shizune and Misha make a pitch of their own: Hisao isn't quite ready to make such a commitment so early in. Which apparently they were expecting: Oh, Hisao, if you only knew.... Actually, given that You and Me and Her only came out a year after this game...

I'm (largely) silent because I don't know what to say, or if words would be of any use at this time. People have died. More are going to die. None of this needed to happen. "Many live who deserve death, and many die who deserve life." A quote from a fantasy novel, not even amongst the most...

Well yes to the first sentence, but actually not quite to the second: because the Zareca String (a hyperlane connecting the Rishi system in the GFFA to the Companion Aurek satellite galaxy) does exist, and we see Kenobi go to Kamino in Episode II. Getting to "wherever our cast ended up" is not...

(Caution advised: Implied self-harm)

...the Revolution may not be televised, but the Regime will be on Xitter, because Of Course It Will....

In my earlier analysis of the Dreamwave era above, I had forgotten to mention the Early Installment Weirdness that was Sarracini's first miniseries. And any Transformers story that opens with a nameless human soldier that the Internet would soon dub "Smokey Fullbladder" is definitely going to be...

Next you'll say that Rhode Island clam chowder isn't a thing! ;)

No, this Sad Bastard can attest that it is relevant, but the issues you bring up do complicate matters by no small degree. Even within the GFFA, there is a tangled knot of hyperspatial anomalies spinward of Coruscant, which is why the following map shows that most exploration went into what...

Dreamwave-G1 was -- or perhaps became -- its own thing, but it definitely hit many of the same story/setup beats of both major English-speaking prior continuities (we'll just set aside the brain-breaking temporal nightmare that is Toei-G1, for now), with whichever one being the most homages...
