@BlazeBinges Can you imagine trying to do this today? The mass of blue check crybabies going off about “woke studios” would be incredible, because this was a literal Saturday morning cartoon.

24 years ago today, Static Shock "Jimmy" episode premiered on Kids WB.
English
@bizlet7 Accusing Angel studios of being left wing is genuinely hilarious.
They’re explicitly Christian fundamentalist, one of the least left wing political tendencies out there.
English
I’m beginning to think that maybe left wing Socialists weren’t the right people to make an Animal Farm movie.

The sound (and smell) of freedom. 🤢 See Animal Farm: A Cautionary Tail, in theaters May 1st. 🎟️: angel.com/animalfarm

@OfAthenry The man’s agreement with the Dobbs decision encouraged the court to overturn all right to privacy decisions, namedropping Brown and Loving. A black man, married to a white woman, who went to an integrated university, suggested pulling the ladder up behind him.
He’s got a robe.
English
When you put the black guy who grew up in segregated Savannah GA under Jim Crow laws into a Klan robe, did you have any thoughts about that, or did you just send it ?

@TheEbonyMaw @_6signxxx Not to mention that mom was a paramedic that was murdered in a riot and dad was a social worker. Like, if Boyz N Tha Hood was a superhero cartoon, it would’ve been Static Shock.
English
@_6signxxx You couldn’t make a show like this. Dude had a stable family life with a competent father figure & the bad guys weren’t all just stand-ins for people the writers hated politically.
English
A Black hero with his gay best friend, imagine what the weirdos would say if Static Shock were released nowadays

@_6signxxx Bestie’s dad spent a whole episode getting his racism checked, there’s multiple anti-gang episodes, even one where they confront a school shooter. You COULD NOT make this show today without getting Fox News all the way up your ass, but it was a fucking Saturday Morning Cartoon.
English
@yandjoshi It’s not casual misogyny, the misogyny is the fucking point.
The point of this entire storyline is Tolkein dunking on Shakespeare, he hated that MacBeth’s death by “no man of woman born” didn’t have to be a guy from a c-section, it could have just been a fucking woman.
English
why not let them ride as women?? i swear to god this franchise got away with so much casual misogyny and exclusion of women when it isn’t even tolkien adherent like that lol this shit wouldn’t side today
Massimo@Rainmaker1973
Fun fact. In the Lord of the Rings films, most of the Riders of Rohan were actually women with fake beards because when the production put out a call for local experienced riders, a lot of women showed up with their own horses.

@SirLoveStain @RealPostFolder Human population hasn’t stopped going up globally. In 2022, we hit a population of 8 billion, even with gay marriage being legalized in most developed countries.
Also, given that you can’t even spell the slur correctly, are you sure that your genes should be the ones to pass?
English
@RealPostFolder Less population for my children to select a mate from, you dumb "educated" faggit.
English
@UnkelDwain @RealPostFolder I love that you ran headfirst into the point and chose to ignore it out of hand.
Morality doesn’t exist, there’s simple sets of norms and mores that different groups choose to adhere to. If two consenting adults are engaging in a relationship, why do you give a shit?
English
@RealPostFolder Nice way to frame the debate. So I suppose if something bad happens to you I should think its OK because it doesn't directly affect me?
Is that how we are going to do things? If it doesn't directly affect me I shouldn't care?
English
@tufpraise Because he’s the sitting president and has entire law enforcement agencies dedicated to making sure nothing happens to him. It’s not fucking complicated.
English
THEN ARREST HIM. How many times are they going to say “there’s proof he raped kids” only to do nothing about it?
Mark Slapinski@mark_slapinski
CONFIRMED. Trump raped minors. And it's all on tape.

@FartSneaky55390 @luvblessingz They’re not saying that the word picnic comes from lynchings, which is a myth that spread on tiktok, but the well documented phenomenon of people holding picnics to witness lynchings. This isn’t the flex you think it is.
English
@luvblessingz Picnic shit is a myth. Stop being delusional about everything.
Picnic the word comes from france in 1649, no lynching to be seen. So shut up already.
English
i think the generation who had picnics while they lynched people were worse than the midly cringy teenagers

Generation Z is the worst generation in US History, by A LOT.

@Jane_Doe82 @jammie2017 At 71, she’s only a couple of years older than my MIL and the same age as my grandmother. I get that there are decades where weeks happen and weeks where decades happen, but six decades really isn’t all that long in historical terms.

@mask_bastard The only other novel they published was The Witches of Karres the following year, which again had slow returns. Dune would go on to develop such a large cult following that it currently holds the record as the best selling science fiction novel of all time, with 1984 close behind
English
@mask_bastard That’s not entirely accurate. When the chapters were published in Analog magazine, they were published as two separate books- The Dune World and The Dune Prophet (the latter of which is my phone cover atm). Then it came time to publish them as collected volumes, 1/2
English
@mask_bastard The only publisher that was willing to bite was Chilton Printing, who specialized in auto manuals and trade magazines. They wanted to branch out into conventional publishing, and they figured this was the bold swing they needed. Returns were too slow to continue at it. 3/2
English
@mask_bastard When he tried to sell the volumes to publishers, he insisted on selling both novels as a combined volume with the sole title “Dune”. THIS was the part that didn’t sell, because the combined book is thick as hell and publishers were convinced that it wouldn’t sell. 2/2
English
@esjesjesj That’s an ambush, not a raid.
That said, urban insurgency is a real bitch and this does a great job showcasing that.

The people we invaded and slaughtered for no reason whatsoever were not the bad guys

@AmeliaHammy For everyone that’s confused, you can travel through all the great lakes continuously. Once you’re in Lake Eerie, you can access the Eerie Canal which connects to the Hudson River, which feeds out of New York City. It’s why New York is our largest East Coast port and not Philly.
