Kat & Adena The Bold Type (2017–2021)
Season 1 was so good.
EA-6B Prowler BuNo 162936 of VAQ-136 'Guantlets' assigned to CVW-5 'NF' aboard CV-41 USS Midway @Kadena AB, Okinawa. US Marine Corps VMA-214 A-4M Skyhawks are in the background. 1988.
Just discovered this webtoon, and so far I really like it. The style is lovely, and the aesthetic is right up my alley - fantasy, magic, and...romance ? Oh, and the protagonist is somehow part bird. Chef's kiss🤌

No buts it so funny that Kat confesses to kissing another girl and Adena’a first thought is “I guess we’re in an open relationship now”

Subsegment: Old News, (slightly) Odd Coincidences
On 28th October last year, the US air force announced plans to replace its entire fleet of F-15 fighter jets—officially named the "Eagle" but affectionately nicknamed "Big Bird"*—based in Okinawa, Japan, with a “rotational” force. It was a move widely (tho' not necessarily correctly) interpreted as being a lessening of commitment to the US military bases on the island, chief among which is Kadena Air Base.
In a mildly odd coincidence, that week was also a newsworthy week for the Kadena coin (KDA), a token native to the Kadena blockchain, which achieved a temporary gain in value when UK-based start-up Database of Native Assets (DNA) launched its tech enterprise "creating unique digital passports which prove authenticity and ownership of jewellery, collectibles, art, rarities and luxury goods" on the Kadena platform.
KDA also spiked on March 11, when it was listed by Binance. That was a day after a Japanese court awarded over $11million to residents of Okinawa seeking compensation for US air operations in the context of parallel legal claims which also sought to bring an end to US air operations altogether.
In fact, the history of Kadena runs broadly inverse to the fortunes of US military operations in Okinawa.
Kadena was initiated in June 2016, a couple of months after an article appeared in the Japan Times on 27 April outlining and substantiating concerns expressed by US veterans that they were victims of exposure to Agent Orange and/or Agent Pink while stationed on the island.
The initial successful seed funding round for Kadena took place within two months of an award of $265 million to residents of Okinawa in 2017, one month after a US sailor was arrested for exposing himself and masturbating in front of Japanese women in Kitanakagusuku Village, one day before demonstrations in Henoko and at the end of a period of unexplained difficulty in retaining and deploying Japanese security guards to the bases.
And on 11 April 2018, Kardena closed another funding round on the same day that a court in Okinawa sentenced a U.S. Marine based there to four years in prison for killing a 61-year-old man in a car crash while driving under the influence of alcohol.**
Does that qualify as a mildly odd coincidence? Perhaps not... but, just maybe.
Or...
Perhaps that's all just a way of saying that I found this article from The National Interest last month strange, discombobulating and vaguely hyperbolic:
