Hmm apparently I misremembered. I logged on to kickstarter and it appears that a physical copy wasn't included until you pledged $80, so I actually did get the digital copy.

I haven't watched any anime in a while. Every once in a while I'll scan over the top few hundred anime at MAL but nothing's caught my eye recently.

I have been reading Billy Bat, though, which is quite good. I wish more of Naoki Urasawa's stuff would be adapted to anime.

Yeah Unwound Future is better. I also really liked Miracle Mask (Layton 5). I thought 4 and 6 were better than 1 and 2 as well, but I'm unsure if it was actually due to a difference in quality or if I had just gotten more in to the series at that point.

Anyway, Sonic Mania beated! Maybe I'll go back and do a Knuckles playthrough for the Game of the Month topic in September.

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but I saw a theory for Tyrion's weird actions this episode that seems to line up (it's really dumb, but I think it probably is what the writers were going for).

The idea is that Tyrion wants to have "both sides" win by making Dany queen and then having Cersei's child take over afterwards since Dany can't have kids, thus appeasing the other Lannisters. This would explain why he was asked about who would rule after Dany an episode or two ago, why he was creepily standing outside the incest cabin, and add relevance to Jon's questioning of whether or not Dany was actually unable to have kids.

Of course, for this to obey all of the Chekhov's guns it would also require Jon to impregnate Dany, which would be the worst plot development yet.

Donald's comrades are hurting him as much as they help him. Two of these three are very specific to him too -- it's not a situation where he aims to drain the swamp. These also aren't leak-problems like he's railed against before -- this is arrogance, and this fish stinks from the head down.

Before his maybe-technically-legal but still extremely inappropriate pardon, Trump had attempted the definitely unacceptable move of trying to get the DoJ to drop the case against Arpaio:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/politics/trump-asked-sessions-about-closing-case-against-arpaio-an-ally-since-birtherism/2017/08/26/15e5d7b2-8a7f-11e7-a94f-3139abce39f5_story.html

Also, a few quotes from Arpaio or his representatives in the article:

Arpaio and his legal team did not feel very good the next night, when they read a CBS News report that Trump was being advised not to pardon Arpaio until after his sentencing.

Goldman wrote a two-page letter to White House Counsel Donald F. McGahn II, sent on Friday morning, saying, “Hopefully this is more fake news,” and telling McGahn that a delay until after sentencing “would place Sheriff Arpaio in an untenable and unprecedented position.”

Without a pardon, Goldman said, Arpaio could be “sentenced, handcuffed, given a ‘perp walk’ and incarcerated” and “left to languish in federal custody.”

“If they can do it to me, they can do it to anybody, including the president of the United States,” Arpaio said. Alluding to the Russia probe, he said, “He’s been under a lot of fire right now, him and his family, and I’ve been through the fire quite a while.”

No, it wouldn't be unprecedented and yes, of fucking course they can "do it to anybody." That's kind of the whole fucking point of the rule of law!

Bragging about a pardon that fundamentally undermines the judiciary (because the thing he was convicted of was defying a court order) no less

Disgusting
---

Congrats to BKSheikah for winning the BYIG Guru Challenge!

It's not just that he did shitty things for which he has expressed no remorse. The unique thing here is that Arpaio was convicted for defying a court order. By pardoning him, Trump is fundamentally undermining the authority of the judicial branch in a way that a normal pardon would not.
---

Congrats to BKSheikah for winning the BYIG Guru Challenge!

Well, it's an abuse of the power. For a more clear-cut example, suppose Trump had pardoned himself for Russia stuff. Though there's nothing explicitly forbidding him from doing it, it's clear that that wasn't what the pardon power was designed to do, and I doubt McCain would be saying "this is bad but Trump had the authority to do it." In each case the pardon is undermining rule of law in a way that normal pardons do not.
