The latest all-star Pretty Cure movie is out over at nyaa.si, the 3.3 gigabyte version being preferable due to not having annoying Chinese subtitles obscuring the view.
I've watched and rewatched the movie already and added it to my great tally. There wasn't a single episode of great Pretty Cure in 2023, but the anime is back in my chronology as of 2024. Maybe this is a good sign and Wonderful Precure will be great too? I guess we'll know soon enough.
Speaking of Pretty Cure, I think it's about time I rewatched all the great seasons of the series now that I have all these bluray versions. By the time I've rewatched all the other seasons I'm sure Max Heart will come out in bluray too. Is 15th too low a ranking for a show I used to rate #1? By rewatching the series I'll have a better sense for its true worth, ignoring the multiple years of junk it's been lately. Also the series is long enough I can fill up the void this terrible winter anime season has created.
Yet again Ukraine has shot down a plane full of innocents, this time their own prisoners of war. Like usual Ukraine tried to blame Russia. I don't believe Ukraine's argument that Russia failed to identify the plane as carrying prisoners to the border for exchange. Russia has exchanged prisoners with Ukraine all the time and they've always managed to do so peacefully and successfully before, so why would Russia have failed to communicate this particular time? It seems more like a) a boneheaded mistake by a particular anti-air crew or b) a cold blooded massacre of prisoners to let other Ukrainian soldiers understand that surrender means death by Ukrainian hands even if you temporarily escape death by Russian hands.
Either version of events paints the same picture of evil and incompetence we've seen coming out of Ukraine since its founding -- one of the only countries that became poorer after leaving the USSR instead of richer like everyone else. And either version of events points to Ukraine being responsible for downing MH-17. Like this time they tried to blame Russia for a plane they shot down. Like when Ukraine blamed the missile that killed those two farmers in Poland on Russia. Ukraine's go to excuse for everything is Russia did it, but it always turns out Ukraine did it. Why would MH-17 be any different?
Meanwhile my governor, Abbot, is ignoring the ruling of the Supreme Court and saying he somehow has higher authority than the federal government, essentially that Texas is now an independent sovereign nation. I don't understand how he can get away with this without being arrested for insurrection/sedition/treason. This is so clearly illegal. The Supreme Court is the supreme authority in the land, anyone who violates a ruling by the Supreme Court is in rebellion against the nation and should be cracked down on immediately. The Supreme Court is the final judgment, there is no appeal to any higher authority, they are the last authority in the line. It frustrates me that we seem to be sleepwalking into secession without any vote or referendum or even announcement that we're seceding. How does this work? What the hell is Abbot thinking? And why doesn't Biden arrest him? Abbot has clearly done what they are accusing Trump of having done, and they arrested Trump, so why not Abbot? What am I missing here? Is it now okay for everybody to ignore Supreme Court rulings they disagree with? Is this the new norm for America? Why do we even have a Supreme Court then? Why did we suddenly become an anarchy and why did nobody tell me there is no more law in this nation or any ability to enforce it anymore?
I'm not exactly eager for Texas to secede from the USA when Texas is majority minority already (so what would be the point? So we can rejoin with Mexico?), but at the least couldn't we see if Trump wins the next election before rebelling against a federal government which may soon be our ally? Sure, let's secede if Trump loses, but put it on a ballot and let Texas vote for that themselves, don't just declare it out of the blue. This is so messed up. First off, shouldn't we find out if any other states want to secede with us, so we aren't just lonely little Texas but potentially most of the USA? Wouldn't that be worth finding out?
It's so absurd for a cripple in a wheelchair to be waging war against nuclear armed, trillion dollar military funded USA. . .
