I really like it when drivers of buses, ambulances, or HGVs wave or toot the horn at their mates.

ME: *writing in my journal with the sole aim of pissing off future historians and archaeologists* I returned to my home - which is built in the usual style - by the normal way, and prepared and ate dinner in the way I often but not always do

Funny thing is, this isn't *entirely* true. There are quite a few franchises that teach these lessons.
They're just all aimed at kids.
As soon as we get to adulthood, it seems presumed that we should abandon equity and justice as reasonable goals and start treating them as silly and childish.

Six decades later, Star Trek may still be the only franchise based on the ideas that diversity is strength, justice is the measure of civilization, bounty is to be shared, peace is worth the price, and all these things can be achieved.
We need more shows that look ahead and find goodness.

Arcane really was an excellent series, however it was doomed from the start by source material.
Plot points happened because the source material demanded it and it was frustrating because of that

Is there a way to tell where the bluesky sign ups are coming from?
Passing 18m is great, but if 17m are just from The US then it feels off. Need international communities to really strengthen the community

Arcane was phenomenal. I found it so interesting that while everyone got theatrical allegories, Jayce was the only one blinded by the light. And now we know why...
