Yeah I'm a socialist because socialists are trying to make things better. Retweets =/= endorsements. He/him. Performative male without the milky drinks. This likely won't stop anyone, but don't read everything online, especially social media, as serious?

Phantasy Star 1-4 are all great (well, 3 is divisive--some love that it's more approachable, others dislike how different it is from the rest) but 4 is a masterpiece. Even on its own, it's incredible, but as the culmination of the series? It holds together and hits harder than Star Wars, IMO.

The Critical Role wiki Astrid's picture with her appearance in The Mighty Nein, but not Eadwulf. I wonder why.

Not only does May I Ask For One Final Thing? feature possibly the most kick-ass female protagonist in fantasy (and it's not an isekai!) but it's positioning itself as FIRMLY anti-slavery. This show!

Everyone working on The End of The Millenium knew the game was gonna be something special. So unlike just about every other RPG of the time, they decided to open the game with something to headbang to:

black & white photograph of young Diane Keaton smiling and standing next to a white refrigerator in a barren-looking kitchen. her cat Buster is crouched on top of the fridge playing with/swatting her hair in the upper right hand corner. she's wearing a long skinny white scarf with a dot-grid pattern, a high-neck white blouse with an ascot/kerchief around the neck, and a black blazer/skirt or blazer dress over what looks like a vest

Because it needs to be said:

The Salvation Army does not exist to save you

The Salvation Army exists to convert you

And if they cannot convert you, they will not lift a finger to save you

Do not support those whose “charity“ comes with conditions

Oh, fuck, Cassandra Cain slit her throat? It turned out to not be lethal, though that was the original plan. Ugh, late 00s early new 10s Batgirl writers! UGH!

Of course. After all:

The cover of a late '00s issue of Teen Titans, #74, which declares the all-too common approach too many writers of the Titans had since the 90s: "ANOTHER TITAN DIES!"

... I meant Captain Comet, since he's been appearing in Action Comics' flashback arc, but you know what? Captain Atom ALSO is in need of a sidekick... One Year Later briefly mentioned a teen partner for him, but I don't think she appeared in anything else...
