I just saw a blue hair Goku fighting a pink hair Goku, no anime fan better shit on comics again.

Excuse me, EXCUSE ME, but the pink hair one is a dude from an alternate future who stole Goku's body, and the blue hair one is Goku's new form THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Dragonball was a mistake.

Trump administration ramps up efforts to block media


President Donald Trump said Friday that his administration "can get around the media when the media doesn't tell the truth, so I like that."
-
The president was referring to his Twitter account. But recently he has taken steps to control news coverage.
The Trump administration has given preferential access to favorable outlets while excluding others -- a move critics say is dangerously reminiscent of state-controlled media.

In the latest incident, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson invited Fox News to cover his meeting at the Korean Demilitarized Zone, on the North-South Korea border, but denied access to the press pool that provides all media outlets with an account of the secretary's activities.
"Fox unilateral network team was allowed into this meeting -- pool asked for access and was blocked," wrote CNN's Pamela Boykoff, the author of Friday's pool report. "Local embassy official told the pool it was 'the Secretary's decision.'"
Tillerson was already being criticized for refusing to allow pool reporters to accompany him on his plane during the trip, which had been a standard practice for his predecessors at the State Department. Tillerson did allow a reporter from the conservative Independent Journal Review to accompany him, but not as a pool reporter.
That reporter, Erin McPike, has not filed any stories from the trip so far -- a source of consternation among other members of the media. A spokesman for IJR said McPike was with Tillerson to write a profile piece, not to write spot news stories about the trip.
"There was absolutely no agreement with State" to forgo daily writing or reporting, McPike told CNNMoney. "I am also not the pool reporter. I'm doing a longer piece." McPike also said she prizes objectivity and fairness: "I completely reject the state-run media charge" leveled by some observers.
On the domestic front, the administration has also given preferential access to favorable media outlets. Five of the seven in-person interviews Trump has given to the media since becoming president have gone to Fox News.

WB Gordon. Since you just got back and don't need to sleep any time soon, avoid watching Iron Fist.

I have a question, what are some of the best Black news and Black history websites? My friends too often link me to sites or black history memes that are inaccurate when I Google them.

For the United States, you can try:

I had the idea to go get breakfast today and then fell asleep again (it was around 6:30AM) and my dream ran through the exact chain of events that I'd go through to get breakfast. It was some Batman prep-time shit. I wish I could do that with all of my plans. I'm basically about to repeat my dream shot for shot (except for the last part where I got teleported to a different city and it was October)
