S.P.O.C.K - Abducted [Sweden, 1995; Synthpop]
(www.youtube.com)
Former United States Secretary of the Treasury William Gibbs McAdoo, 1920 candidate James Cox and Henry Ford were the main candidates. Though McAdoo won a vast majority of states, and well more than half of the popular vote, in those twelve states that held primary elections, it meant little to his performance nationwide. Once at the convention, the party was deadlocked for 102 straight ballots, before dark horse candidate John W. Davis, (who wasn't even a formal candidate when he arrived at the convention) was chosen on the 103rd ballot. Davis went on to lose the election to the Republican candidate, President Calvin Coolidge.
Exactly 100 years ago
And yes, there's a 90s Star Trek themed synthpop band and it's surprisingly good.
He looks oddly like Geert Wilders
It would be lowkey hilarious if Kennedy's support spiked based on the fact that he's a decade younger than either of them.
Asterix & Obelix is a thing, yeah. Mostly as comics with a pop-history setting that a lot of European children have read, including me.
The 60s film adaptations and the 1975 original animated film are actually worth watching imo, the rest is mid. Just like the comic itself since main writer René Goscinny died in the early 80s.
Unfortunately, volume 1 is from 1958 and also depicts black people, so you can guess how they're made to look. The artstyle is unchanged since then.
I liked the band until I discovered the drummer is or used to be a libertarian. That's like the least cool thing you can be.
Pentiment was neat.
The game actually is Eastern European. The devs are from Eastern Slovakia.
They are a group that is slowly fading away, but they still exist.

Read Oresama-Teacher. It's by the same author and basically a deranged mix between GSNK and... Angel Densetsu? Yup, an actually funny delinquent comedy. Featuring basically a less malicious Seo Yuzuki and evil Umetaro Nozaki expies.
Instead of a 4-Koma, the Manga features Shojo manga standard ~50 page chapters and it's completed too.
Maybe there's a big cringe moment in it, but even though I am far from finishing it, I wanna recommend it.
That's all.

The woes of good anime and seasonals
(hexbear.net)
Tfw you get into an anime with only one or maybe two seasons
The story is incomplete.
The last season was a decade ago or more, a new season has become a running joke among people who like it too.
The manga is there, but it's unfinished and progresses at a glacial pace.
I'm talking of course about Kaiji, but the show from the picture is also a victim (Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-Kun). Something like Interviews with Monster Girls at least has the manga be complete, even if you can read the last volume only in Spanish if you don't speak Japanese.
Alas, big booba waifu shows with the level 99 elves, a wish fulfillment loser to gigachad main character will be more profitable, helping self-reinforce the unsavory parts of weeb culture. :)
That reminds me of when I was in Helsinki airport.
I still had some time for my flight, and was walking around to get something to eat. The place itself is very cozy, lots of wooden architecture, places arranged to seem like they're in the middle of a forest, etc. Then I look the wrong way and see inside the smokers' lounge. There, a bald middle-aged guy wearing a black hoodie with the coat of arms of Nazi Germany on it, vaping.
I somehow doubt that person got into any trouble for it. One of the rare Germany Ws is that that would be very illegal here.
Venezuela's economic crisis really began after oil prices fell drastically in 2014 and the west used Chavez's death/Maduro's election to increase pressure on the country via sanctions which for example made buying parts to maintain oil refineries difficult. Before that, it was doing about as well, or better (of course, failing to become independent from oil exports) compared to the other countries in Latin America.
Argentina was already in a crisis for the last ...20 years-ish, but this acceleration of the crisis happened in a week even as Milei backpedaled on some potentially damaging promises like cutting trade with China.
