'Mulan': A Beloved Disney Classic Reimagined As Martial Arts Epic
Liu Yifei stars in the live-action reimagining of Disney's Mulan.
The biggest movie so far to be bumped from theaters to home viewing during the pandemic is Disney's Mulan. The live-action reimagining of the 1998 animated musical doesn't have songs or a cartoon dragon. But the story still finds young Mulan disguising herself as a man so she can fight in her father's place.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "This Machine Kills Fascists"
From DC's anarchist cartoonist, Mike Flugennock -
"This Machine Kills Fascists"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3058
American protest-song legend Woody Guthrie was known for the sticker on his guitar reading "This Machine Kills Fascists".
However, the murder of unarmed Black Lives Matter protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin by Kyle Rittenhouse — and the ongoing assaults against unarmed protesters by armed fascist thugs — have led me to conclude that there's only one kind of machine that kills fascists — and it's not a guitar.
