I’d like more context here. What’s the protest? Seems to be an anti-lockdown protest somewhere.

A commenter linked to this in the post about Hollywood a day or so ago. It’s only a few minutes long, and much of it is in some undecipherable weird Moon-man language, but it still results in being four and a half minutes better spent than any time devoted to much of modern woke Hollywood. it’s entertaining, well produced, funny, entertaining, clever, surprising and entertaining. Did I say entertaining several times? Probably because the likes of STD and STP and SW these days are anti-entertaining so it’s refreshing to see what actual entertainment is like.

Cuz goin’ blind is high on my list of things to avoid.
Scientists Reverse the Aging Clock: Restore Age-Related Vision Loss Through Epigenetic Reprogramming
Harvard Medical School scientists (curiously, not gender studies majors) reversed age-related glaucoma and promoted nerve regeneration in rodents.
Another victory for STEM. I imagine those who oppose STEM as being part of White Supremacy probably protested the use of animals in these studies. ᚠᚪᚳᛖᛗ

OK, so a movie I have no interest in had a character make some sort of lame joke/pun about Chinese people, and as a result…
Monster Hunter: World Review Bombed On Steam As Backlash To Movie Grows In China
The “backlash” here involves the movie simply being pulled from distribution in Chinese theaters. This is bad news for the movie, since China is probably the only place it’s going to get a wide theatrical release. It’s supposed to open around Christmas here in the US, but let’s face it, it’ll make about a buck and a half.
So how is this good news for Hollywood? Simple: it’s a valuable object lesson. Do not rely on China. In fact… delete China from your plans altogether. If you can get your flick released there… sure, great. But there has been altogether too much kowtowing to the Chinese government to get a foot in the door of the Chinese market. Now is yet another really good opportunity to Hollywood to finally figure out that China is bad for business, long term.
Here, watch this. It’s a fan film set in the Warhammer 40K universe. I’ve watched it several times and I have no friggen’ clue what’s going on. But I do know it’s impressive as hell to look at… and it was apparently made by *one* *guy.* Sure, it’s short, less than 15 minutes, with almost no dialog and a plot that confuzzles the bejeebers out of me… but IT WAS MADE BY ONE GUY.
Take note, Hollywood. If one guy over a span of a few years can make 15 minutes worth of fully rendered, entirely artificial worlds, then twenty guys can make a full movie in a year. Imagine what you could do with that capability. You could have a movie showing India defeating China in a war for territory. You could show Taiwan triumphant, the Communist flag falling to the ground in Beijing. You could have westerns with heroic cowboys. You could have war movies where the US forces are actually portrayed as the good guys. You could make an actually *good* Star Trek TV series and an actually *good* Star Wars movie trilogy. You wouldn’t even need to be in Hollywood or even California; you could make the movie somewhere *good.* All this would be possible if you simply sought out enthusiastic talent… and told the ChiComs to get bent.

So… is Biden pretending to be a senile old coot, setting up the smooth transfer of power to Harris by feigned illness a few short months into his Presidency? Gotta admit it’s a good scam. Biden would have to know he’s really only good for one term – if that – but if he bails early in that term (EDIT: after January, 2023), Harris gets to serve the rest out. And then she gets to run again in 2024. And *again* in 2028. Meaning she could, in theory, still be President in 2033. A President as devoted to wiping out the Constitution as Harris is could do a lot of damage with three terms.
And then…

This feller has brought H. P. Lovecraft back to answer your questions. Ya gotta respect the commitment to cause… he’s been doing it since 2012, with hundreds of uploads, and only getting a few thousand views per video.

Hypocrisy in *my* AOC? It’s more likely than you may think!
I have no problem with what AOC is doing; ya gotta respect the grift, if nothing else. What I do have a problem with is the fact that there are people dumb enough to throw money at her. It’s a sad commentary on how befowled the gene pool and/or education system has become.

Below is an industrial video describing the concept of a “turnaround.” Industrial videos like this are almost always terribly dull and boring. That must by why, after multiple viewings of this video, I still don’t have a grasp on just what a “turnaround” is.
