Liquid Television

I missed this. I either didn't own a TV at the time, or I was in Japan. We got some USA TV in Japan, but not this. I heard about this today on one of my news feeds.

Here's episode 101, which I think was the first.

Liquid Television is an animation showcase on MTV from 1991 to 1995. It launched several high-profile original cartoons, including Beavis and Butt-Head and Æon Flux. Other recurring segments include "The Art School Girls of Doom", The Specialists, and Brad Dharma: Psychedelic Detective. Independent animators and artists created most of the material specifically for the show, and some previously produced segments were compiled from festivals such as Spike and Mike's Festival of Animation.

Will #Trump Pay A Price For The Ukraine Deal?

President Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson and Mar-a-Lago earlier this month.

Confusion About Trump's Role In The Ukraine Bill

After the House of Representatives passed legislation sending more money to the Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel, while throwing in a few billion dollars for NGOs facilitating the invasion of America's Southern border, #NeverTrump Republicans and neocons called it a defeat for Trump.

Today’s three biggest losers

  • -Vladimir Putin
  • -Xi Jinping
  • -Donald Trump

Yesterday's vote was a defeat both for aggression in Europe - and for reactionary authoritarianism at home. The aggressors and the authoritarians know it. That's why they are howling. Latest in @TheAtlantic https://t.co/DtAiFLH6EV

But as independent journalist Michael Tracey (and Senator Lindsey Graham) have pointed out, Trump's support was key in getting the bill passed by Congress.

Lindsey Graham confirms what should now be obvious for all to see: the Ukraine funding bill "would not have passed without Donald Trump"

Can It Be Stopped In The Senate?

As Senator Mike Lee points out, there's still a chance to stop this in the Senate, but it would require 41 Senators to vote against it.

The $95 billion bill doesn’t have to pass.

It takes only 41 senators stop it.

There are 49 Republicans in the Senate—more than enough.

Where do your senators stand?

Please like and share if you agree that 41 Senate Republicans should unite to stop the $95 billion aid package. https://t.co/BVDCK45GB6

That seems more likely to happen if someone got Trump to flip against this, but have any Republicans in Congress called Trump out on this?

Has Senator Rand Paul?

Ukrainian flags fly in the chamber of the UNITED STATES House of Representatives as they vote to send more of your hard-earned money to a corrupt foreign regime. And just like that they shout “UKRAINE! UKRAINE!”while happily working to secure Ukraine’s borders, not ours. pic.twitter.com/ZXZo1kliNl

Or Rep. Thomas Massie?

This is the U.S. House of Representatives under the direction of Speaker Mike Johnson. Democrats are celebrating his total capitulation with no victory for securing our border. #MTV pic.twitter.com/TtaIgnX9eg

Or Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene?

Speaker Johnson proved today that the only border he cares about is Ukraine’s. https://t.co/C198x48eVr

It's safer to blame Speaker Johnson than the most popular Republican in America.
Will Trump Pay A Price For This?

Georgetown Professor Arta Moeini raised that prospect on X yesterday:

I believe Trump's greatest gift was the intuitive way he understood his base and channeled their frustrations. He's a savvy politician; alarm bells must be going off in his head now. The Democrats & the Security State won doubly yesterday:

They got their billions for their globalist agenda without lifting a finger for the Border
They discredited Trump in the eyes of a good portion of his long-standing, loyal supporters who had stayed with him since 2016 and his war with the Bushes, thereby significantly diminishing his chances for returning to the White House.

I continue to believe Trump abhors war, seeing it as ugly and inexpedient, but his repeated backing of Mike Johnson to allow him to betray the trust of millions of conservatives could become a costly mistake. He has now made the error most politicians make when they go Establishment, trading the love of their base for nice headlines in CNN & the New York Times and ceasing to be the radical force for change that propelled them to power in the first place.

Let's pause here to note that Trump hasn't even gotten those nice headlines; on the contrary, the establishment is still trying to bankrupt him and send him to prison for the rest of his life. Back to Prof. Moeini:

For all their differences and mutual antipathy, this is something Trump shares with Obama.

If Trump loses in November, Historians will remember the betrayal of April 20th as the reason why.

That seems like it will depend on whether any Republicans opposed to this bill bring up Trump's role in getting it passed. "

#TBT Early 1980s. #MTV rarely played black artists, #BlackEntertainmentTelevision was just getting it's legs, so R&B music videos were usually low-budget and got limited exposure on locally-produced TV shows like #TheScene on #Detroit's #WGPR. We'd tape 'em on VHS and make copies and pass 'em around at school. This is what they looked like. Fer real! 🎵 🎶 📺 👍 😁 #SnoopDogg #SensualSeduction #Music #HipHop #RetroSoul

Ich hatte gerade nichts zu tun, zappte durch die #Mediathek/en und blieb dann bei #Viva hängen. Persönlich war ich ja eher #MTV Gucker, da dort mehr Musik lief, die mich interessierte. Aber wenn man Viva im Kontext musikgeschichtlicher Entwicklung in Deutschland nachbetrachtet, war das schon höchst interessant. Viel Spaß. ✌️😎
Vorsicht, kann Spuren von uncooler Musik enthalten!

When #MTV was a good idea. I love "Woman in Rock". So helpful to live and understand with each other. I love PJ Harvey's art and music. The eroticism she would not need, the bloodhounds of my lust are anyway on the chain and must be euthanized soon anyway. ;-)
