In Other News:

What took One Piece 14 episodes to cover in Arlong Park has now been covered by ten thanks to One Pace.  I thought Arlong Park clipped along so if you can cut four episodes there just think how many episodes you could cut from other arcs.

I hope someone now focuses on the Post-War arc because that's the one in most dire need.  The Wano anime is understandably stretched mindlessly thin because it's almost caught up with the manga and they can't animate what doesn't exist, so One Pace will need to keep working on that too.

They should have used covid-19 as an excuse to shut down One Piece for the rest of the year.  Then they could have come out with some actually decent, fast-paced episodes afterwards.  Oh well.  Let's hope One Pace can edit this mess back down to a manageable length again.

One Piece is a strange anime.  Its quality depends entirely on whether One Pace continues fixing it or not, a fansub group.  If One Pace fixes all the old episodes as well as all forthcoming episodes, it could be the #1 anime of all time.  If they give up and quit, like what seems to have happened over at Hau Omochikaeri as pertains to visual novels, it could fall below the top ten.  So my ranking of One Piece is essentially a moving estimate of how long One Pace will continue as a fan enterprise.

Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson averaged 4.33 million viewers nightly last quarter, the highest average ever attained by a cable news show.  When I say 'there are millions of us' I'm not lying.  Of course, Tucker Carlson's policy prescriptions are different from mine, but there's lots of overlap (he's Daily Stormer's favorite American), and when you take into account the additional millions of people who agree with Tucker but don't see the point in watching his tv show, the numbers all work out.

Steve Sailer received over a million pageviews in the month of June.  Again, that's a lot of white supremacists.

Even '100 Waifus' received an 8th 5-star rating over at Scribble Hub.  It warms my heart each and every time.  There are people out there that understand.
