one of the cultural artifacts of American Imperialism that is still highly relevant today https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victory_Through_Air_Power_(film) >Victory Through Air Power is an American animated documentary propaganda film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by United Artists on July 17, 1943. It is based on the 1942 book Victory Through Air Power by Alexander P. de Seversky. >On December 8, 1941, Disney studios were essentially converted into a propaganda machine for the United States government. While most World War II films were created for training purposes, films such as Victory Through Air Power were created to catch the attention of government officials and to build public morale among the U.S. and Allied powers. Among the notables who decided after seeing the film that Seversky and Disney knew what they were talking about were Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt. >The phrase "terror bombing" entered the English lexicon towards the end of World War II and many strategic bombing campaigns and individual raids have been described as terror bombing by commentators and historians. Because the term has pejorative connotations, some, including the Allies of World War II, have preferred to use euphemisms such as "will to resist" and "morale bombings". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_bombing This Disney propaganda film inspired the bombing campaigns of civilians and urban centers by the US and UK during WW2. Also a bit of context on the author of the book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_de_Seversky >Of noble Russian parentage, Seversky was born in Tiflis, Russian Empire (now Tbilisi, Georgia). He entered a military school at age 10. Seversky's father was one of the first Russian aviators to own an aircraft and by the age of 14 his father had already taught him how to fly. >During the 1917 Revolution, Seversky was stationed in St. Petersburg and remained in uniform at the request of the commander-in-chief of the Baltic Fleet. In March 1918, he was selected as an assistant naval attaché in the Russian Naval Aviation Mission to the United States. Seversky departed via Siberia and while in the U.S., decided to remain there rather than return to a Russia torn apart by the Revolution. Settling in Manhattan, he briefly operated a restaurant. >As World War II approached, Seversky became engrossed in formulating his theories of air warfare. Shortly after the Attack on Pearl Harbor, he wrote Victory Through Air Power, published in April 1942, advocating the strategic use of air bombardment. [4] The best-selling book (No. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list, appearing first in mid-August 1942 and remaining in first place for four weeks) with five million copies sold. The book's popularity and hard-hitting message led to Walt Disney adapting the book into an animated motion picture (1943) of the same name where Seversky (who also served as the film's technical consultant) provided live-action commentary. This is the proto  and/or Dr. Strangelove before the a-bomb even existed.

This would make a good series with a faux-documentarian style. The pilot establishes that the comedian is working on a reality TV show with his true-loving reveal being the main draw, and the leak completely deflates these plans. Does he confirm the leak and abandon the TV show concept that they've already invested in, or does he keep ratcheting up the lie and revamp the TV show plot beats.

Ya, I tried to explain this to a lib a while back. It was difficult to get the point across. I had to just keep rephrasing the very basic point of "if he isn't good enough to run right now, how is he good enough to lead right now?". They kept trying to handwave about how this lets Kamala focus on the campaign, etc. So damn frustrating. There are some pretty good mechanisms in the Constitution for this type of thing, but the Dems can't fathom the idea of it.

I think that's from some old religious text.

Description text: ::: spoiler spoiler ___ "In Mdou Moctar, it is not out of the ordinary for well-laid plans to collapse at the last-minute. For example, this happens a lot with flights being canceled. Maybe one of us doesn't get a visa to travel somewhere in time. Maybe all of us don't. Maybe someone at the embassy in Niger puts the visa sticker on page #1 – you know, that important page that has all your personal information like your name or birthday. As a result, we've all gotten good at reacting and maneuvering, and adapting an initial plan into something … even better! When we got to Agadez winter of 2023, the first thing we did was drive around all together and scope out locations. We walked up a small building that overlooked the famous Agadez mosque and said ‘Alright, we're gonna film here as the sun comes up.' Another idea was to film under a well known bridge that connects the road from Agadez to Arlit – 'Let's set up a generator and play here! The kids will love it.' Those were two examples that didn't end up happening because it was either not allowed or we overslept. That's where the creative part comes in. On our way to film at a location out in the bush, Mdou suddenly stops the car to talk to a guy walking a couple camels. They exchanged numbers. Unbeknownst to me, Mdou was plotting to get 50 camels to show up at the king of Agadez's palace where the famous Agadez mosque is. This was an idea we had discussed, but much like some of our other concepts, I just kinda said 'cool' and assumed it would fall through. On our last day together in Agadez, we showed up to the Sultan’s palace, set up, and then waited around for a few hours. Was the show gonna happen? Maybe a few hours later, 15-20 men riding camels showed up. I didn't count because I was so shocked Mdou was able to pull it off – calling this random guy we met in the desert with some camels, who then made some calls to get a bunch of Tuaregs (the youngest was probably 5 years old) to ride out from their village 3-5 hours away to be there for this special performance! Holy shit. When we started playing, Tuaregs dressed in traditional Agadez clothing armed with hand drums started dancing and drumming. There were even a couple friends of ours who showed up with some swords and performed a traditional dance together as we played. This was all totally unplanned. Mdou, Ahmoudou, Souleymane and I are all wearing the signature Mdou Moctar colors - Tuareg purple mixed with white, which is the same color of the Mdou Moctar bird symbol." - Bassist, Producer, Mikey Coltun Mahamadou ‘Mdou Moctar’ Souleymane - Lead Guitar, Vocals Ahmoudou Madassane - Rhythm Guitar Michael 'Mikey' Coltun - Bass Guitar Souleymane Ibrahim - Drums :::
Libs get very mad if you mention you are not voting for KKKamala HarriSS It is like they don't even understand how the electoral system works or something. It is quite literally throwing your vote away to vote for her. She is not going to hurdle that margin folks, matter how much she tries to get right wing votes and endorsements. Hey libs, move to a swing state if you care so much.
No idea how real this is, but seems like a fairly logical way for things to play out.
timing of this is sus, right? I was just curious about the stock price, and this article popped up from today. this is the exploding pager company btw

I was exploring this small historic town in a Spanish language LatAm country recently. It's frequented primarily by local tourists from the closest large metropolis, mostly on the weekends. There's plentiful vegan/vegetarian eateries, an old cathedral square, and lots of natural beauty in the vicinity, etc. It's got that old-urbanism charm with nothing over ~3-4 stories tall. So while I was exploring the place walking around, I stumbled into this cafe / book shop place. They had a coffee bar area, some books, reusable water bottles with local art, various notepads and sketchpads, some jewelry based on pre-Columbian art in a display case, etc. As I'm looking around, I catch a glimpse of the book for sale. "Mi Lucha" in that chunky red Wolfenstein font and Adolf's face on the cover. I was a bit shocked. Noped the fuck out of there as casually as possible. Just a very WTF moment.
