Biden signs TikTok “ban” bill into law, starting the clock for ByteDance to divest it
www.theverge.com
ByteDance has up to a year to sell TikTok and avoid a ban.

Free speech in AmeriKKKa is looking good! Americans should only rely on true, red-blooded, patriotic, and megacorporations like Microsoft and Google with their data!

Another bill that was added on was an Israel aid bill that sends Israel and the IDF a further 26.3 billion dollars.

        I believe they are talking about the athletic obstacle course show, Sasuke, whose spinoff is America Ninja Warrior. It’s way better than the American one. Definitely recommend it, but it’s very hard to find right now.

          You’re right, for some reason I thought they said Sasuke at first glance.

          That makes a lot more sense lol

        I haven’t seen 41 yet, only the prelims for it, been building hype by rewatching the old ones before they got bought out and dropped my faves. Kunoichi and Unbeatable Banzuke are also <3

          If you can understand japanese the sasuke YouTube channel has lots of good content too, but spoilers beware. Which tournament are you up to? Sorry I am a huge (understatement) Sasuke otaku so I don’t want to spoil anything for you.

            40! Also seen all the kunoichi and english unbeatable banzuke. I hated the English versions (wipeout, American ninja warrior, but did check out some of Levi’s bits), but got big into Sasuke a few years ago. It’s probably an unpopular opinion, but I love Yamada and his Black Dragons. The trampoline prince, BMG, and Kong (who should have been an all star), are lesser faves, followed by ABCZ cus he’s cute af and the drummer that wears face paint whise name I forgot. Now you have to tell me your favorites, or favorite obstacle or something. I need to know what other people that have the Sasuke brain think

              Yeah I didn’t like Yamada and his squad (black tigers haha) but the whole thing grew on me after watching the Sasuke yt channel, and Yamada has been really important to the growth of the show recently. I want to watch kunoichi but it’s even harder to find than Sasuke. Same with unbeatable banzuke, viking, and pro sportsman series. Need to find them.

              I think I pretty much like every regular now! The drummer is Darvish Kenji. I do get annoyed when there is too much focus on celebrities/tarento but he worked really hard and does also promote and care a lot about the show so he’s my favorite from that sphere. Kong is a classic, loved him too and agree he should’ve been an all star.

              Off the top of my head my favorites are Urushihara (he responded to one of my comments on YouTube 😍), Hioki, Morimoto, Kawaguchi, the remaining all stars…too many great competitors to name…Do you like the shin sedai/new stars and the Morimoto sedai?

              Obstacles?? The cliffhanger and all its variations, maybe the salmon ladder. The cliffhanger builds so much tension during runs. How about you?

                Is it the Sasuke_not_tbs channel? I can’t find anything official >.<

                I think I found all of Kunoichi and most of Viking on bilibili and archive. Unbeatable is on youtube and has a prototype of Kunoichi that’s hilariously sexist (you also see Yamada, the Monkey, Kane Kosugi, the girl that beat Stage 1 in Sasuke, and a few other pre-Sasuke guys on both UB and Viking).

                Yeah, the switch to even more celebrities bothered me too. A lot of them don’t even really try and just do pratfalls. Also in return we get no more handglider man or the model maker or the older newsman who almost beat Stage 1. I thought I remembered everyone’s names way better than I do oof

                The New Stars are dope, especially my boy Asa and Shunsuke <3. Also agreed that the Cliffhanger is great. I enjoy how it combos with Spider Walk and the Warped Wall to get rid of both taller/heavier and shorter/lighter entrants.

                  The YouTube channel is called Sasuke Ninja Warrior TBS 公式. Last two posts have been about the newest generation, Morimoto sedai and their training so even if you don’t understand Japanese a lot of the training stuff is super digestible anyway. Some of the older videos have Nagano and his son training together, but please beware of spoilers!! The newest tournament has a lot of content up already.
