[worf]: captain! we have exhausted our supply of photon torpedoes. phaser banks are drained!
[picard]: very well. number one, you know what to do.
[riker]: aye sir. attention all hands: all children are to report to the transporter rooms and prepare for hand to hand combat
Two things are simultaneously true: Korra is a gorgeous piece of animation willing to tackle heavy themes in an interesting way, and the fact that it had to reinvent itself every season meant that it never could achieve the consistent quality of ATLA.

i guess that makes sense if you imagine that what's being advocated for is "the state immediately seizes all newborns and sends them to The Factory" rather than "children should have strong, actionable legal and social recourse to protect themselves from abusive caregivers"

What a wildly incorrect talking point. The desire to get rid of Schumer and Jeffries has nothing to do with the margins of the election. It has everything to do with them being the wrong people to meet this moment and being uninterested in delivering for the working class.

In this vital moment, please remember: any politician proposing "body cameras" for ICE or police violence is not a serious person. The history here is one of the greatest achievements in copaganda in modern history:
This is one of the reasons the Netero fight hits so hard, because suddenly Meruem becomes a shonen protagonist trying to build a better world that refuses to change, and he manages to lose because, for all his power, he's still naive about exactly what humans are capable of.
Loving the Bojack discourse on my timeline, and not disputing the OT, but Diane not wanting to be on antidepressants is one of my least favorite bits from the final season. It genuinely seems to come out of nowhere to me.

“Whats water”
Muslim names be like SERVANT OF THE MERCIFUL and Christians have shit like Michael
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Michael comes from the Hebrew phrase mī kāʼēl, which translates to "Who is like God?".

gossip from sources in R senate campaigns, lots of blame but one theme emerging: the Million Charlie Kirks were a catastrophe. half of them hatched "unsouled" and slid sideways into hell before they could vote; the rest were "webs of blood and tooth" who largely went third-party
Since Bojack is on my timeline

Still marvel at the utter heartbreaking perfection of Season 7, which sets up a genuine redemption arc for Bojack and then has him slowly destroy every chance he has to actually follow it. What a masterpiece.
Been rewatching Korra and the Unalaq/Vaatu stuff is SO HALF-BAKED. I actually think you can solve a lot of this by having the audience explicitly aware of Unalaq's evil immediately (a la Scar in the Lion King): Korra wpuld end up looking less stupid thanks to dramatic irony.

And this is a problem, because outside of the Red Lotus, Korra never really gets a villain worthy of her story. Amon is great, but his influence ends after Season 1: Kuvira, Unalaq, and Vaatu are great concepts with serious flaws in execution.
Unironically one of my favorite things about Mako. The writers have no idea what to do with him but every time he locks in he goes so unbelievably hard

The Legend of Korra will have me rolling around in frustration at some of the choices in writing while also leaving me completely and entirely distraught at its stunning otherwordly godly animation and life changing musical score, this sht means something to me man

When Mamdani won in New York City, Matthew and others were quick to remind us that his brand of politics couldn't win in places not as blue. Now that El-Sayed has proven that wrong, they are finding other ways to downplay what happened for progressives.
I've been thinking about this excellent thread from @iiiiwanttolive for over a year now. I don't disagree with it, but I do think one of the reasons One Piece is so good is precisely BECAUSE of its fuzzy powerscaling: it makes it almost uniquely appealing among shonen.

Blackbeard notes this, too: he nearly dies so many times, but he keeps clawing after the world he wants, and he encourages Luffy to do the same. In the world of One Piece, nothing can be truly said to impossible.

And that's part of what makes One Piece great: that no matter how ridiculous the gap should be, a character might win, no matter what powerscaling logic says.
Or, to paraphrase one of the greats: as long as the character is alive and willing to try, they have a chance.
