¿Sabían que el personaje de M. Bison en Street Fighter encapsula los arquetipos clásicos del dictador latinoamericano y, a la vez, fue inspirado por una figura mítica japonesa?

M. Bison, conocido como "Vega, el dictador" en la versión japonesa del juego, es el líder de la organización criminal Shadaloo y un villano que busca el dominio global. Su apariencia —uniforme militar, gorra roja y una presencia imponente— evoca deliberadamente la iconografía de dictadores militares históricos de diversas partes del mundo, incluyendo sobre todo los de América Latina, que a menudo se caracterizaban por su culto a la personalidad, uniformes distintivos y un control absoluto del poder.

Sin embargo, la inspiración directa principal, según Fuentes oficiales, fue Yasunori Kato, el villano principal de la novela japonesa Teito Monogatari. Tanto Bison como Kato comparten similitudes en su vestimenta, su visión del mundo y el uso de poderes esotéricos, conocidos como Psycho Power en el caso de Bison, que se alimenta del miedo y el odio.

La ambigüedad de su nacionalidad (especulada como tailandesa en el juego, pero sin confirmación oficial) y su estética general permiten que el personaje funcione como un símbolo universal del poder corrupto y la tiranía, resonando con la historia política real de muchas naciones.

A person is seated at a wooden desk in a room with exposed brick walls, focused on a music production setup. The person has long, dark hair and is wearing headphones and a gray t-shirt with dark graphics. In front of them is a black keyboard synthesizer with red and orange accents, with a computer monitor to the right displaying a music editing interface with colorful waveforms. Various pieces of audio equipment, including speakers, smaller synthesizers, and audio interfaces, are visible on the desk and in the background. A poster on the brick wall reads "Cosmic Echoes."

You might be thinking that this is some unusual incident, that the press is cherry-picking and dramatizing the most sensational events.

I live in Minneapolis. The location in this article is pretty close to me. And I am telling you:

The press is •under•-covering what’s happening here. ICE is doing absolutely batshit stuff all the time, every single day, all over the city.

It is exhausting.
mastodon.social/@AnnaAnthro/11…


Federal agents use chemical irritant on crowd in #Somali neighbourhoods of #Minneapolis amid #Trump crackdown

“Armed #ICE agents trapped US citizens in a restaurant & demanded papers.

Federal agents also entered East African restaurants in Cedar-Riverside, MN.

They closed and blocked the doors. Then they demanded to see everyone’s papers.

Everyone present was a US citizen.”

Illegal. Completely illegal. But everyone agrees: nobody’s allowed to stop ICE from breaking state and local laws, only issue citations afterwards.

To mismarked vehicles. With masked drivers who refuse to identify themselves. How do you cite •that•?!

ICE eats at restaurants I know and love, nice comfy meal before going back out there and destroying more lives.

It’s weird how much this enrages me. I hope the restaurant staff knows who they’re serving. I hope ICE knows they know. I hope ICE officers eat with nagging doubts about food safety.

I heard a rumor — this one not well-substantiated — that they ate at a restaurant and then come back and raided it the next day.

I would be disappointed in all involved if ICE agents were able to eat any restaurant food anywhere that wasn’t drenched in spit from the staff.
in reply to Paul Cantrell

ICE assaulting a pregnant woman.

Covering their license plates with fake spray-on snow to hide the numbers.

Getting pelted with snowballs by the crowd and responding with pepper spray — which only increased the snowballs.

Just this afternoon’s local news.

While at the ICE bldg in Portland we noticed that the same cars were going to and from the bldg with different plates. I think they have been trading out random plates at another location and driving in and out to avoid detection in their vehicles with their plates in public. In June they had just started taping their plates up or taking them off entirely but people started reporting them as driving with no plates

You’re valid in feeling enraged. Everyone should be enraged. I wish more people were because anger is a DOING emotion.

in reply to Paul Cantrell

A request for everyone: please don’t be this person. We’re going through a miserable time here in MSP, and reply guy snot does not make it better.

A •lot• of replies I got are about what is illegal, or should be illegal, or must be illegal, and…yeah, we know, believe me, we know. If what you’re offering is commiseration — as with most replies — I welcome that wholeheartedly! This sucks, and it’s nice to hear people say, “Yeah, that sucks.”

But please don’t come into my mentions to argue. Wrong time, wrong target.

Comunque, prima di perdere nuovamente il flusso pensierante, devo assolutamente fare una digressione che boh, sarà gnammy, lo sarà meno, ma è in ogni caso reale...
Io ho notato che, come dire... subito dopo i miei bei momenti epici, altri effetti eventuali a parte, finisco sempre per avere come una specie di sorrisino in faccia, che mi dura addirittura per minuti interi... come in un misto di soddisfazione e allegria, non lo so... 🙃
Cioè, oh, questa cosa è assurda, non me la spiego!!! Finisco di aprirmi la pelle e infliggermi dolore e boh, ridacchio... forse un po' inquietante persino per me, lol. 😚L'altra volta che ci ho fatto caso, e ho inviato perciò la mia foto, pensavo fosse un caso, dovuto allo specifico episodio... ma invece no, noto che la cosa è ricorrente. Per esempio, qui grazie al mio 3DS, una foto dell'altra sera (cioè, ne ho fatte varie a raffica, tra l'altro con un'energia che non avevo poco prima, ma questa forse è la più decente) dimostra il wow.
...In effetti, in foto questo sorrisino mi sembra non evidente tanto quanto me lo percepisco io, sia da dentro che allo specchio, però innegabilmente si vede; oggettivamente c'è. 💀
La cosa assurda sul serio, però, è che questo non mi succede mai con niente altro... Cioè, ok, ridacchio tranquillamente di varie cose durante la giornata, ma lì si tratta sempre di secondi... mai di minuti interi in cui mi sento proprio così ahh in seguito ad 1 cosa... Sono veramente così tanto cucinata??? 💔


Mia onesta reazione 10 minuti dopo il momento epico... 😳




Slowly coming to the conclusion that part of the reason many Americans have embraced anti-science and anti-vaccine beliefs is that healthcare is so expensive.

So there is an attractiveness to the idea of being able to opt out of the healthcare system by eating healthy, consuming supplements and detoxing.

Technology, Energy and Warfare in Evolving Geopolitics by Sandeep Tripathi & Kirill Sablin, 2025

This book puts forward a new conceptual framework for emerging geopolitics through the lens of technology, energy, and warfare. Drawing on rich case studies from across the globe, it illuminates how power dynamics are being fundamentally reshaped across nations, governments, international organizations, and individuals.

Trying to find a website by the artist that once made the political ideology catgirls comics.

Now I'm looking in my many, many bookmarks, I think this personal website is themed around the author being a game dev, artist and draws scifi type artwork as well too.

The background is purple, dark pink, and light blue with stars on the top and a road on the bottom, a planet as it's favicon.

I seriously wished I wrote down this person's website, and I did see the person's art in their pfp and I think it's the same artist that drew the discontinued Political ideology cat girls comic.

Please let me know of the website's name, I don't know if I have it in my bookmarks anymore.

Not sure if anyone else knows which website I'm speaking of.

If I successfully find this website I'm describing above, I'll link it here:

My ftiend and I went to see it when the university showed it, in the 70's. She bought a tape, and surprised me onre day when she was driving from her place to mine, I was lying across the front seat, which was sort of ok then, looking up at the trees.... good memory


For my #HamRadio tunable elevated radial project, I want to isolate them from the earth and the mast, and I'm not finding an isolating mount that goes into a normal ½" "light stand". So I've come up with this design to build. (Yay, I can't just buy it, so I have an excuse to spend some shop time!)

From 1" 6061 aluminum stock and 1" POM:

  • An aluminum stem/spigot that fits the tripod, with a 1" section above. In that section, an M14x1.5 threaded socket.
  • A POM threaded bushing; M14x1.5 on the outside, M10x1.5 on the inside, with a 2mm flange on top
  • An aluminum piece on top with M10x1.5 screw threads on both end, and six 4mm holes drilled around it to accept 4mm banana/bullet plugs. The M10x1.5 is to match the JPC-12 feed base.

I intend to raise only two radials, but six holes give me a chance to change my mind later, and even with just two they make it easy to line up the holes well enough with where I want the radials to run. (An elevated radial is worth about 8 ground-coupled radials.)

My idea is to machine the POM threads a little over-size, so that the whole thing is hard to screw together and locks together kind of like a nylon locknut. The larger diameter of the aluminum pieces will be knurled to facilitate this. It's meant to be strong enough to hold as much as 30 feet / 10m of loaded vertical, including JPC-12 riser sections, JPC-12 loading coil, and up to 25' whip.

in reply to Michael K Johnson

Removed some obviously unnecessary metal from the design to make this lighter before I bother to make this.

It's so hard to sense scale, but this is 25mm OD. The flanges on the bottom are ½". The holes drilled into the side are 4mm to fit 4mm banana/bullet connectors. The yellow layer of insulation between the two metal parts is 2mm thick.

Looking forward to actually making this, so I can take a picture with a banana connector for scale. Maybe a banana too! 😉
