    It won't happen. The world can't be that good.

      A cartoon wouldn't have this much death and misery in the world. We'd be living in a melodrama on primetime TV.

          I realize animation doesn't just have to be for kids, but I think the intention is "a goofy, absurd show with no respect for consequences or consistency" I'll check out Akira though

            No, you're right. I was going more for teasing than a "you don't know what you're talking about, let me correct you."

            In all seriousness, the first half is pretty good if you like dystopian mega city stuff like Bladerunner, but the second half goes off the rails in a way that turns a lot of people off.

    All news here in Europe is "Trump is doing really great, will go home soon". What the fuck is going on?

      He doesn't even have COVID. It's just a tactic to energize his base

      They think he's dying, at his darkest hour, then miraculous "recovery". voter turnout surges

      Libs willingly drop out of the race due to respectability politics

    Trump dies, Pence elected and wrecks Roe vs Wade. OR Trump lives and rides wave of patriotism to victory.
