Hey, it’s on Tubi! Thanks for the recommendation.
Apparently they have it dubbed in Spanish, but I speak Spanish so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(The Spanish announcer renamed it “The Legend of the Great Fighter” which seems like an odd choice.)
Friendly reminder that school administrators tend to take complaints from parents much more seriously than the same complaints from teachers. So if your kids’ school district is using PragerU stuff, please speak up.

Check with your district to see if they're using this garbage to brainwash your kids.
The same folks who kept saying they were really concerned about protecting women's sports when it came to trans athletes are the ones out here cheering on crypto bros tossing green dildos at female athletes because it's "funny" and a "good time"

“Right leaning educational material” is an overly polite and misleading term. They generate patently false and often outrageously racist propaganda.

Retreat in CUSTER'S LAST FIGHT (1912).
Custer was correctly viewed as a hot-headed fool immediately after his defeat but the hagiographic view championed by his widow had completely rewritten history and the film portrays him as a hero.
Odd, how South Park is covering Kristi Noem and her ICE hooligans more accurately than The New York Times.

For those just being introduced to either 1) John Oliver, or 2) John Oliver's thoughts on Leno, may I offer the following video.
The Leno part starts at ~12 minute mark, but the whole thing is worth a watch IMO.

You’ve had success having a point of view on your show, as Colbert has, at least in the ratings. Late night used to be broad, unifying entertainment. I know Jay Leno recently spoke on this topic, about making a show for everyone … I’m going to take a hard pass on taking comedic advice from Jay Leno.
John Oliver just says the thing. I'm happy for him.

At most, he's vaguely referred to as a "financier". Okay, what did he finance? Was he a fund manager? What were the names of his funds? Where did his money come from? Inheritance? Limited partners?
Nazis did this and canceled pensions.

Prices are climbing, and the big question is—how much worse will it get, and when does it stop?
Trump’s tariffs are the highest in nearly 100 years. And the promise of a manufacturing boom is just a hope and a prayer when profitability is tanking.
No one’s going to invest in uncertainty.
Whenever wealthy people turn to a religion to justify their wealth, it always seems to boil down to eugenics. Weird.

"We're all throwing dildos at women athletes to promote our memecoin" really puts a fine point on not just how sexist, mean and stupid so much of right now is, but also the grim degree to which we're just inundated with Stuff a 15-Year-Old Dipshit Would Think is Cool. A confederacy of Beavises.
