𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝: 𝑁𝑒𝑜𝑛 𝐺𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑠 𝐸𝑣𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑜𝑛 (1995) possibly the best #anime ever made even though they didn't really finish the last two episodes
from the imagery of the control room to scenes I couldn't show you because they were constructed by scanning I enjoyed this show more than I did the last time, not least imagining the epic fight the director must have had with the money people

Bari Weiss gushed about the popularity of El Salvador’s president,
who describes himself as the “world’s coolest dictator,”
and how safe he’s made the Central American nation
– without noting he’s suspended basic civil liberties,
has been accused of making deals with gang leaders,
and has thrown thousands of innocent people in jail without giving them a fair trial.
Months later, on Sunday night, Weiss squashed a CBS News story on the treatment of immigran…

Content warning: "long" rant about american sci-fi tv series and "neuro-archy"

I have the distinct impression that we could use most American "sci-fi" TV series (which seem to have a kink for post-apocalyptical scenographies) as a diagnostic tool for the autism spectrum.
For a moment, let's leave aside the tons of right-wing propaganda "hidden" in plain sight, and their excessive reliance on boring & worn out tropes (religious & cultish bullshit, irrational lack of communication & excess of anti-social behaviour, all vs all, ultra-low-iq characters*, psychotic & irrationally treacherous characters*, ultra-inconsistent character development used to justify "unexpected" plot twists, rampant anti-intellectualism...).
What could be used as a diagnosis tool is the incredible amount of strong inconsistencies that we can find in them**. It throws me out of the story every single time; and I suspect that it takes a certain kind of "uncommon personality" to feel that way about it, because otherwise these series wouldn't be so popular without real widespread criticism beyond cliches like "too slow", "it loses steam towards the end of the season", etc.
Many of those plots start in a gold mine of potentially powerful ideas... yet they consistently provide us with dirt & clay instead, while side-lining the "good stuff" as if it was too complicated for the populace.
Do you feel strongly about it? Do you feel like you can't verbalize it without being criticised as "too negative", or "too picky", or an "unbearable snob"? Do you wonder why it seems like nobody around shares your discomfort with these stories?
* : I feel this is a bit like the chicken & egg problem. Has the media conditioned part of American society to behave like dumb psychopaths as if it was something "natural", or is the media reflecting what was already there? Also, could we use other societies as models for these stories... just for a change? Please?
** : Just a tiny example: a "brilliant" engineer who builds a bridge out of fence parts and who doesn't bother to perform the most basic tests before trying it in a real setting and suffer the consequences: the bridge failing and her falling into the void. Bonus points for anyone who knows what I'm talking about.

Reducing (some of) the #EV benefits is never a popular measure. Perhaps that is why it is being introduced now, after the recent elections.
At the same time, the incentive remains in place, because the purchase tax on fossil fuel engines is also increasing, as are fuel taxes.

I've been trimming subscriptions recently.
Disney cancelled (Just before the Kimmel stuff)
Paramount cancelled (Until a new Star Trek season starts)
XBox Game Pass Ultimate because WTF were they thinking with the 50% increase?!... reduced to Essentials.
Apple One reduced to Apple Music and iCloud Family only
Fortnite Crew cancelled
I imagine the next company subscription I cancel will be the next one to do something stupid 😅

Gee, wouldn't it be nice if Lashinsky actually talked about how the plan would or would not support affordable housing, or had some references to support that upzoning helps develop large amounts of housing affordable to the mix of incomes in the community? (Esp in already densely built areas, liek San Francisco)
Because all of the research I have done says this is family zoning for families making over $250K a year. But I'm sure the Mayor's realtor brother is eager for m…
