The comedy anime Cromartie High School gets some of its humor by having some of the main cast have the exact same names as certain Japanese celebrities. Ex: a character named after pro wrestler Akira Maeda, basically if an American high school comedy had a character named Randy Savage.

Amen. Everything in American political talk is always so aggressive, judgmental, and ungenerous. “Opportunity” this, “personal responsibility” that, “affordability.” It’s genuinely nice to see a politician who has a vision of providing The Good Life.

Dem messaging bingo:

- accepts framing
- [thing] is a distraction
- "those liars lied to us and we demand that they come and lie to us again"
- words not used: impeach, illegal, unconstitutional
- tone-deaf to anyone left of the farthest right
