Just lost my entire edit of this episode in a power outage so it looks like it’s gonna be Monday on this one. Sorry for the wait.

I’d say the episode is somehow cursed but I think it’s actually just me that’s cursed

[Zac Bertschy @ActionZacku]

This show will be up tomorrow - sorry for the wait, I had a pretty catastrophic equipment failure that made it very difficult to cobble together. But it is coming - and it’s a good show!

There's a reason the Trump Administration isn't fighting the pandemic.

It's the same reason the cabinet is populated with people expressly opposed to the missions of their agencies.

Trump isn't there to help anyone. He's there to destroy government as a means to govern.

Again I've been enjoying this show very much and learning a lot of history but it skips back and forth in time all over the 90s and my attitude the entire time has definitely been

This has been a really good documentary series but if I'm being totally honest

I did like 15 podcast episodes on how fucking bad this show was

I regret not a single one of them

It's been a good 2 years already, so I'll ask this for everyone's that's seen it. In your opinion, was Darling in the Franxx a good series?

@terebifunhouse @OkazuYuri @ZackDavisson @hoover_dam @AnimeStudies @gabbomatic Literally anything the chuds can latch onto as a reason for cishet white men to bitch and moan to other cishet white men about the horrible injustice of inclusion will be used as grist for the anger mill.

Our daily reality nightmare for the last few years was “made for cannabis” and the idea that it’s a frivolous thing for loser stoners is a myth that needs to die, especially now

The City of Los Angeles has deemed selling weed an essential service, critical to the health and well-being of those sheltering at home. “We get to provide a little relief to a stressed society,” one dispensary owner said. https://t.co/YxoZr89mFS

Here's a look at the restoration we performed on the English Galaxy Express specials. A huge undertaking that entailed capturing many incomplete VHSes, cobbling them together, @Kitsunelaine and I re-editing footage/remaking the titles, and @worldofcrap restoring badly aged audio.

Does “here are nine movies you should absolutely never rewatch as an adult if you have remotely fond memories of them from childhood” count as an answer

[Zac Bertschy @ActionZacku]

@AnimeStudies @ANN_Lynzee I provided the receipts from your Facebook and Twitter accounts that allowed that letter to be written in the first place. It was not a personal grudge, that letter isn’t “lies”, it was an attempt to remove an obvious bigot from a gatekeeping position he should not be in.

[Zac Bertschy @ActionZacku]

@AnimeStudies @ANN_Lynzee Let me ask you - does someone with views this deeply bigoted deserve to be the gatekeeper of who gets to speak at an academic conference?

[Zac Bertschy @ActionZacku]

@AnimeStudies @ANN_Lynzee Which is a very irresponsible and selfish position to take. Especially from those of us who know exactly what happened and why you were removed from these spaces.

[Zac Bertschy @ActionZacku]

@AnimeStudies @ANN_Lynzee Oh, I understand now. You don’t actually know what happened. Do you know why anime expo wasn’t interested in your proposal? Would you like to be illuminated?

[Zac Bertschy @ActionZacku]

@AnimeStudies @ANN_Lynzee Speaking as someone directly involved in your removal from that position, I know you are not telling the truth. You were removed for very specific reasons that Lynzee already mentioned. She is telling the truth. You should back away from this.

[Zac Bertschy @ActionZacku]

@AnimeStudies @gabbomatic I can tell you white nationalists probably should be first on the list of “not invited to the party”
