I hope it's someone who knew one of his victims. What can I say? I have a poetic, petty soul.

For people not in the biz, having your pitch rejected for 'creative differences' means they thought it was so bad they didn't think *anyone* could make it work. Bonus points that he calls getting the chance to pitch at all "serendipitous" as that implies his rejection was destiny in action.🤣

If you can understand why a state would benefit from such a director, you should then consider that New York City, if it were a state, would be the 13th largest state in the US. It often has to tackle policy issues bigger than most states.

I have my eye on you! But only one of them. The other is watching the roux right now.🤣

I exist in a state between "I should get some sleep" and "I should prepare a demi glaze since we're getting low..."

Sometimes I consider getting a silly tattoo like GAME -- OVER on my knuckles but then I remember I'm not that into tattoos and the joke would tire fast.

It's wild to think that if a missile had accidentally hit Epstein Island at the right moment in the mid 2000's, so much of our modern history would have been better.

I love Salma Hayek but this trend is NAWT for her. You gotta AGE lil mama! The picture on the left was her THREE MONTHS AGO. The one on the right is *20* years ago.

Lemme get this straight... Netanyahu is calling Ukraine to discuss interceptor drones and Russia is helping Iran with supplies, meanwhile each of the superpowers has either picked a side or is trying to ride the fence between Ukraine and Russia's ongoing war.

It's starting to feel like War-ception.

I just read through some of the reddit posts of people discussing this and there's an argument about if she might have left to pursue more lucrative opportunities. Someone said "I mean, she was the creative driving force so I'd be amazed if she made less."

I. Guffawed.

I wish her the best.

I did enjoy Outlaw Star. I think it hit some beats beautifully but definitely ran into a few anime-shaped walls.

Every so often I'll remember a Piers Anthony plotline and think "Today we would check that man's hard drive." Did you know he's still alive? 91 years old.

It's just weird (derogatory) that Whedon is so damn good at picking interesting ideas to explore and then somehow finding the shittiest way to explore them.

I'd love to watch a deuteragonist Percy Jackson style story. What I mean is: Percy thinks he's a normal kid but everyone else sees him for the horrifying threat he is. Gimme me two shows, perspectives overlapping some major conflict, and make one a Percy Jackson and the other people observing them.

Idea: How do people solve problems in a future where lightyear distances and corporate apathy leaves too many with too little?

Reality: Libertarian circlejerk. Zero time spent developing a real economic system but a lot of time spent insisting it works because people self regulate.🙄

Idea: What does a society that embraced the growing prominence of China look like in the distant future?

Reality: Everyone uses Chinese to curse. Occasionally aesthetic elements. Zero philosophical concepts brought in. It's a gimmick.

Idea: How does human connection and sex work work in a complex, post-Christian scifi setting?

Reality: She's the maiden, mother, and whore of this ship and the lead man never lets her forget it because somehow he's managed to bring Puritanical ideas into this setting anyways.

Idea: Exploring the deeper thoughts of how you live in resistance when a fascist government won the war.

Reality: Used for Confederate Lost Cause apologia.

Firefly is one of those quintessential Whedon shows: It's full of stuff that individually are such brilliant ideas and thought provoking plotlines to explore... and then you take a step back and realize how all of it serves to deliver the most rancid, bigoted messages. He's the Lovecraft of pop TV.

I saw what that dude said about being willing to do it again and I meant what I said: Sometimes I think societal mutual aid gets in the way of natural selecting out people who will abuse mutual aid to keep doing things that are bad for all of us.

You mean we can't just rent a few uhauls per ship and drive the goods around on land? 🤣

"Everybody makes mistakes" is both a true statement but also a shitty excuse. Yes, everyone makes mistakes... but those mistakes are not all equal, and other people making smaller mistakes isn't an excuse for you to get away with low down shit.

There's a list of White actresses that, if I never heard from or of them again, I'd be so okay with that. Drew Barrymore and Alyssa Milano have locked their slots on that list in.

Agreed. A young Steve Buscemi (derogatory).

Look, I don't really care about Chalamet either way or how he's said something foolish in the way only young, successful White people feel entitled to do so-- But can we agree him cutting his hair was a mistake? He looked like a Renaissance painting before. Now he looks like a badly groomed dudebro.

But I'm confused... wouldn't that be "joining wars after we've already won"? 🙄

Like any reasonable person, I don't think we should be doing this at all, but I especially think they should make this miserable pile of a man beg before declining.

Turns out that moving away from exploiting minorities for content into exploiting cheaper facsimiles of minority content was not, in fact, a bold strategy. Who knew?

I really need pundits to stop talking like subjects like tax policy changes are permanent. When a politician floats "tax the rich, void taxing the poor" I don't want to fucking hear you say "but this isn't sustainable."

Bitch, we rewrite our tax codes YEARLY.
WE CAN CHANGE IT LATER AS MONEY SHIFTS.

Reminder: The luddites were right and we are still paying the costs in this class-based system for not heeding them. "Bold changes" is code for "changes which will harm some at the benefit of others, with little thought or preparation beyond if it's good for those enacting them."
