Travelers visiting the United States from countries like Britain, France, Germany and South Korea could soon have to undergo a review of up to five years of their social media history, according to a proposal filed on Tuesday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

The change would affect visitors eligible for the visa waiver program, which allows people from 42 countries to travel to the United States for up to 90 days without a visa as long as they first obtain electronic travel authorization.

In a document filed on Tuesday in the Federal Register, C.B.P. said it plans to ask applicants for a long list of personal data including social media, email addresses from the last decade, and the names, birth dates, places of residence and birthplaces of parents, spouses, siblings and children.

Under the current system, applicants from visa waiver countries must enroll in the Electronic System for Travel Authorization program. They pay $40 and submit an email address, home address, phone number and emergency contact information. The authorization is good for two years.

I've managed to collect a few animation cels from the classic Pebbles Cereal Christmas commercial, which was a huge part of my childhood. Here's another one, which captures Barney right when he was delivering his famous line, "Ho ho ho, I'm hu-hu-hungry!"

It’s kind of the same way for the initial DBZ dub. It was still awful, but it paved the way.

The Mechanical Centipede: The Rise and Fall of Robotech β€” You Don't Read Comics The almost tragic story of how an anime franchise can usher in a new era of fans, while also being a relic of the past.

Yes! Robotech is both an ancient tool of the day, a monstrosity that should not exist, and a keystone for getting Anime to America as strong as Toonami was, if not stronger.

I felt the need to write about the origins after doing too much research one day:

Anime with titles that are entire sentences are a complete turn off to me. I know about the light novel title thing, but maybe when you adapt it, chisel down that name. It makes me not want to bother giving it a shot otherwise.

Even if it’s the end of the Lupin Renaissance, we ate well for years. Even if there’s nothing close on the horizon, I’m more than satisfied.

Get on the horn and call Warren. She's usually on the correct side of issues, so it's bananas that she's sponsoring something so awful.

look I'm not always on Twitter this much, I promise. But there's this thing there where people like, proudly talk about YouTubers they don't like and get mad at their fantasy version of videos they made, and it's always so good

Wow: Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named for Holocaust survivor Raphael Lemkin, who coined term "genocide") calls Clinton's remarks "genocide denial."

"Young people in the US are not stupid or gullible. They simply reject genocide – something the Secretary might consider doing as well."

I don’t want Paramount to buy Warner Bros, because I prefer the next #Superman movie not be written by Ben Shapiro, star James Woods, feature music by Kid Rock and be directed by Dinesh D’Souza.

I'm hoping Netflix realizes Superman made a lot of money and they'd be stupid to mess with the bag. I'm preparing for disappointment but I'm also at least relieve Paramount won't get the opportunity to turn DC heroes into right wing fascist propaganda.

Can’t wait for the Paramount cut of James Gunn’s Superman where Superman says β€œactually supporting Israel is the real punk rock” and then he pulls a Homelander on all the children of Jarhanpur
