The time has finally come. We are Pokemon Going to the Polls!

First time voter Bugs Maytrix, of Bugs Maytrix fame, enters the booth to revel in the joys of Pokemon. A wonderful game where you can live out every child’s dream of being basically homeless and nomadic fighting every day for your life and earnings against other children and emotionally stunted adults to be the very best like no one ever was.  Naturally, we meet this fantasy with the reality of the fight for Children's Rights!

It’s The Most Important Election of Our Lives!!!

How far should children be allowed to travel alone?”: Also, crucially, are there special dispensations for minors that take down Organized Crime Syndicates?

“Are Pokemon Centers publicly owned?”: Ash Ketcham has been burned, electrocuted, drowned, and beaten and always gets patched up as essentially a runaway child, so we know the humans are getting Universal Healthcare at least.

“Common Sense Pokemon Laws?!”- Surely there needs to be an age limit on owning a dangerous animal that lives in your pocket. What constitutes an Assault Pokemon? Can you put a Bump Stock on Squirtle?


In the end we really just need GameFreak to be normal for like once.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
