The way it usually goes is we get 4 or 5 weekly chapters in a row and then there'll be a one-week break. IIRC that's meant to preserve the author's health since writing and drawing manga is hard work.

Nice. I was wondering how they would continue the story after Korra and I'm glad they decided to turn everything upside down with a huge cataclysm because that sounds a lot more interesting than just doing another timeskip and landing in the modern world.

Here's the quote, for those like me who had never heard of it:

"I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...

The dumbing down of American is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30 second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance."

Yes, that's the one! Now I guess I have to watch Kung Pow as well.

That movie rules. Shaolin Soccer is also pretty good.

Last thing I heard was that the soundtrack is being made by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. It's the next best thing, if you ask me.

Because if the girl said 'no', then the answer is obviously 'no'. But the thing is she is not gonna say no. She would never say 'no', because of the implication.

So if regular produce is processed food, where does that leave ultra-processed food? Should it be called ultra-mega-processed food for the sake of accuracy? Perhaps processed³ food?

Huh, TIL. Here's the Wiki page about it, for anyone curious.

Yeah, I think it's satire, likely referencing that infamous post where someone "fixed" Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn:
