Arc was wonderful this week, but at some point we’re gonna need to have a discussion on the way modern Ultraman is miles behind other shows when it comes to character work and the episodic format isn’t an excuse for it

Kid Cosmic is a spiritual successor to Powerpuff Girls that subverts a lot of tropes of the superhero genre in an optimistic and mature way. It also leans hard into a midcentury comic strip aesthetic with fucking amazing music!
Netflix ordered it and then sort of forgot it existed.

"Democracy is nothing but the tyranny of majorities, the most execrable tyranny of all because it is not based on the authority of a religion, nobility of blood, or the prerogatives of talent and wealth: its foundation is numbers, and its mask is the People’s name." — Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, 1848

you want endless consumer goods but no new industries. you want cheap services but high wages for the working class. you want green walkable cities but new apartments are gentrification. you are not a leftist you are a fucking boomer
this is the post of a man-child dressing it up as radicalism
"Why are you complaining about getting gouged by one company when you could have just bought all the ingredients for yourself and been gouged by 14 different companies for slightly less plus also had a ton of leftover ingredients you could then throw out or eat until you never want a burrito again?"

“On Danger in War” is a great little chapter. In it, he’s basically like, “You think you’re a good decision-maker? How good a decision-maker do you imagine you’ll be after the guy next to you gets blown to pieces and you’re pretty sure you’re next?”
