Tweet too long.

“If HERCULES: THE LEGENDARY JOURNEYS had filmed a season in the 2010s, there definitely would have been an episode where Hercules and Iolaus travel to the city of Ur—which looks like a New Zealand suburb—and discover there that Salmoneus has been placed under arrest by the King for fraudulently selling lousy copper. Hercules investigates and it turns out Salmoneus is just a wholesaler and the crappy product is the fault of his supplier, an absolute dirtbag merchant played by guest star Keenan Ivory Wayans.

Hercules beats up the merchant's goons to discover evidence of his shady business practices and the evidence saves Salmoneus from getting his hands chopped off but the king respects the merchant too much to punish him for his fraud. Salmoneus fecklessly screams out as he departs on horseback with his companions that he's going to write a formal complaint about his poor customer service, and the merchant just clutches his gut laughing and finally shouts back "And who shall ever care, that humble Ea-Nasir had a displeased customer?" Fade to credits as Salmoneus seethes”

I remember one of them gave his magic gun an origin as a child sacrificed by the Silent Hill cult.

Lackingtons was some of the best when I was more actively following short stories. If you haven’t you should give it a look.

For people who love weird short stories—Did you know the incredible Lackington's archive is still online? You should read it now while we still have an internet lackingtons.com

Ranma is both guys depending on the current joke. Ranma has the same gender identity as Bugs Bunny.

Came up with a hot new TGTF story idea.

tbh I'd love to see a gender bender story where a couple of guys get transformed and one of them is like, "kyaaaaaaa, what will I do now, aahhhh this is so weird, I have these tits now but I'm a guy, aaaahhhhhh.....! M-maybe I should pretend to be a normal girl, so people don't think I'm weird....... what if I need to buy a bra 😳 "

And the other is just like, "Well this sucks. Whatever, maybe my brother has a binder I can borrow."
"if we don't get this fixed in a week I'm buying some testosterone patches online"

I think a lot about the PointlessHub G1 video where he says “Optimus came back to life, but he never *really* came back” cuz ever since it’s like, he’s become more symbol and idea than a character

Maybe this is a bit Canadian of me but no part of a hospital should be profitable.

That was such a good show. More APs should use its formula of a very large cast with only 3-4 PCs showing up in any given arc.

If I didn’t have great grandparents that tried very hard to hide what they were doing during WWII it’d be a lot closer.

In Gaza, hunger doesn’t knock — it moves in.
It tucks the children into bed with empty stomachs.
It whispers through the night louder than the bombs.
We need food. We need safety. We need the world to care.
Please don’t scroll past our pain 💔🙏🏻

@mofhealy.bsky.social . The BlueSky policy continues to prevent us from clarifying the suffering we are in. We are in dire need of help. We are dying without any mercy and can't find anything to eat. This method is our only hope to share our story💔

I’m against sexualizing nuns. I think it’s wrong to portray any part of Catholicism as anything fun.

M Healy @mofhealy.bsky.social · 3d

Taylor Swift shouldn’t play Dazzler. She should play Lila Cheney.

The mysterious cosmic rock star outlaw who would sell the Earth to alien slavers because of unseen wrong done to her and a general sense of being beyond humanity, fits the images of both her fans and haters way better.

We must ask ourselves: what is an anime girl? Perhaps @nobodyaddams.bsky.social can help us find the answer.

It was coming fresh off the Civil War comics, where Tony was at an all time level of wrongness and resulting unpopularity. I get not wanting to go down that path right away but then they did anyways and treated it as him being right.

It doesn’t ascribe to anything it’s a brand not a person.
