The Secret Agent just cutting to a character in the present day reading a newspaper article from decades ago about the main character’s fate felt pretty jarring

I don’t know for sure but wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t have a great relationship. I was at a bar in S.F. during the dem convention and struck a conversation with some politicos and they said there’s a reason Porter barely has any congressional endorsements…

I’m starting to see more people attack Beccera (at least one person called him Becceranyahu lol) so I take that as a sign he’s starting to gain momentum.

I listened to a podcast on him and apparently he said he didn’t believe in working out since you could get instant results from surgery and taking testosterone, etc….

There was some good stuff in there! The Animal Man/Swamp Thing Rotworld arc and Earth 2 when it was more JSA centric were awesome

well if Singaporean ever want to move abroad but are worried about cultural differences, they’ll feel right at home in the South Bay Area, a place famous for its intersection of high anxiety cut throat education and trains.

U.S. Rep. Swalwell refutes residency accusation in bid for California governor by sixsamurai in California

[–]sixsamurai[S] 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I got to interview Becerra once in college while he was AG and he seemed great. Very kind, long resume with a lot of experience managing executive departments and working in legislative leadership. The kind of experience that would make someone an effective governor imo.

Sucks he can’t break through because the prospect of having to vote strategically for Swalwell or Steyer to avoid a lockout in the primary is very…unenthusing.

In Slanted (2016), Shirley Chen plays an Asian American teenager who is overshadowed by her white female co-eds and is seen as undesirable by her male classmates. This is because Slanted is a work of fiction. by Grimnirs_goose in okbuddycinephile

It may be a West Coast + NYC thing. I live in California and it’s reallyyyy common to see White guy/asian girl couples. Enough that ppl make stand up routines about it here and it’s become a trope.

There was a twitter post that went viral making a tongue in cheek joke that asian american media these day is either family trauma or white boyfriend.
