  1. Probably reposts. If so: my excuses.

    Anime from 1988 heavily inspired by Moebius. The anime itself starts 6 mins in. In case you were wondering why it doesn't start like a usual anime. You know, with drawings and all that. But that's psychedelic of course.

    The Moebius influence makes it psychedelic all by itself. Would have been better with a better soundtrack. You'd be better off to do that yourself. Turn down the volume of the youtube and play tunes over it. ;D

     

    The short cartoon made by Dali and Disney:

    Can do that. Just wondered if it might not get confusing with previous posts in here.

    If it does, it's the good kind of confusion. Keeps people thinking! ;D

    It's confusing anyhow, as there's also a Trump thread which is basically about the same..

    Might as well combine these into the uber 2020 election thread. If Biden wins, we can delete it in order to forget this nonsense ever happened. It was all a bad dream...

    I heard they're going to record a new episode of Game of Thrones. They're going to follow the president after the outcome of the 2020 election has become official.

    I think Donald might get shot by his youngest son Barron, because he is in love with his mother Melanie and can't stand Trump grabbing her by the pu##y. Or Donald will be beheaded during a riot, Khadaffi style.

  4. i think you forgot radical left, law/order (wrt blm) and the brilliant success of his corona efforts (i kid you not. he'll probably say US is the best when it comes to dealing with corona)

    but, does it really matter what he says?

    edit: and don't forget all the brilliant plans which will be presented in the next month or so. he's got a brilliant plan for healthcare (the best!), the economy, tsjina, isreal, north korea. and something with less taxes! no details but they will come in some not so distant future. as ever.

    I really like that guy's channel. For anyone reading, he is basically daily science news - generally physics based

    Yeah, been following him for a while now. At first I was put off a bit by the russian accent and the amateurish feel. Always be wairy about talking heads on youtube. I'm not sure when, but after a couple of videos this guy seemed legit. The way he can explain complex recent scientific papers is pretty rare. He puts things in a broader context. And makes it look easier than it is. As the scientific papers tend to be fairly technical and often incomprehensible if you lack that context. Which makes it more than just some random guy on youtube sharing his opinions on stuff he just happened to read.

    That video on these ufo sightings was his least scientific. Normally he sticks to recent scientific publications. (Astro) Physics, cosmology, climate science, biology, chemistry. He covers a broad range.

  6. Not sure why they won't do a digital release first and physical later. Like they've already done in the past. Difficult enough to create some income for artists during these times. Just put it out there already. Minimal logistics required, i reckon.

    What if Rich gets cancelled though ?

    Ironically, the Windowlicker video got cancelled in the US when it was released. Well before #blacklivesmatter. Whether the video was a sign of racism, or the cancelling itself, I do not pretend to know. Which is basically a passive aggressive way to cancel myself. I did want to point out though that there is some precedent.

  8. Sounds like a good ploy to activise potential Trump voters. Of course there will be radicalists at such events. So this will provide plenty ammo for the Trump squad to say "radical leftists!". 

    And tbh, it doesnt even make sense to have this demonstration/strike with a demand and all these subjects. "Demands". The only things you'll get with all these demands is increased divisiveness and an even less effective government. Really, that's all your getting. What's the point of doing this a couple months before the election? Think.

    The problem is that in the past few decades, democracy has been eroded in an unprecedented way. Democracy was replaced by the illusion of democracy, free public debate by opinion and indignation management, the guiding ideal of the responsible citizen by that of the politically apathetic consumer. Elections now play practically no role in fundamental political issues. The important political decisions are made by politico-economic groups that are neither democratically legitimised nor democratically accountable. The destructive ecological, social and psychological consequences of this form of elite rule are increasingly threatening society and livelihoods in America and worldwide.
     

    Sounds like you forgot Trump won the election in 2016. Despite what the political establishment wanted. That in itself should raise the alarm. Perhaps your argument is not as strong as it appears to be? (if it appears that way, that is. but i'm sure there's plenty people who would agree)

    Vote motherfuckers. The problem is that too many people don't vote. Perhaps start with personal responsibility before pointing fingers towards abstract strawmen and other *isms. I think people are way too quick to point fingers. It's easier that way to ignore your personal responsibility. Which, ironically, Trump voters seem to be very good at.

    If these numbers give you a sense of deja vu, it may be because they’re verysimilar to our final forecast in 2016 … when Trump also had a 29 percent chance of winning! (And Hillary Clinton had a 71 percent chance.) So if you’re not taking a 29 percent chance as a serious possibility, I’m not sure there’s much we can say at this point, although there’s a Zoom poker game that I’d be happy to invite you to.

    One last parallel to 2016 — when some models gave Clinton as high as a 99 percent chance of winning — is that FiveThirtyEight’s forecast tends to be more conservative than others. (For a more complete description of our model, including how it is handling some complications related to COVID-19, please see our methodology guide.)

    With that said, one shouldn’t get too carried away with the comparisons to four years ago. In 2016, the reason Trump had a pretty decent chance in our final forecast was mostly just because the polls were fairly close (despite the media narrative to the contrary), close enough that even a modest-sized polling error in the right group of states could be enough to give Trump a victory in the Electoral College.

    The uncertainty in our current 2020 forecast, conversely, stems mostly from the fact that there’s still a long way to go until the election. Take what happens if we lie to our model and tell it that the election is going to be held today. It spits out that Biden has a 93 percent chance of winning. In other words, a Trump victory would require a much bigger polling error than what we saw in 2016.

    Also, because it looks like Trump will be running on 2 things: anti radical left, and pro law & order (he's fucked at economy and international politics...flol), Biden looks to have the ideal counter-candidate: she's far from a radical leftist (more like the center, perhaps a smidge to the left from where biden is) and she put plenty people behind bars herself. This will force Trump into fighting self-made strawmans, i guess. Which I don't think will work this time, as he's notting running against HRC.

    Although i am a bit fearful that Harris might be able to play the HRC-role. The "Harris is too ambitious" comments smell like it might be going into that direction. But as long as she'll stay out of the spotlight, the stink won't stick.
