If I had to pick just a couple, then Twin Peaks and The Prisoner. Both have interesting styles, both keep you asking questions rather than spoonfeeding answers, both were ahead of their time.

Batman: TAS was and is dope. The entire DCAU is the best adaptation of comic books to date. There’s a reason Alan Moore was happy to give his approval to For the Man Who Has Everything.

Shout out to Dwayne McDuffie too. Passed too soon.

Oh christ, you’ve really been through it with them then. You have my sympathies.

The whole system is pretty much designed to humiliate and punish those in need for seeking the minimum level of support. It’s a hellish bureaucracy overseen and operated by the exact kind of people you’d see working as file clerks in some fascist government.

Multiple doctors have written letters of support saying my condition likely won’t improve.

You’d think that’d be the end of it, but they’ll continue to argue the case sometimes. I haven’t had it that bad in comparison, but prior to my dad finally dying, they continually argued the toss about his deteriorating condition, including questioning if his mobility issues were really that serious/longterm (he’d lost a leg by that point).

I’m an occasionally psychotic (in the medical sense) agoraphobe with serious substance abuse issues. If that’s not too offputting, I’m free to talk pretty much whenever.

I can relate to endless benefits assessments thing btw. They really do make you fight for every damn penny.

Don’t lose hope.

Lol, the first source he cites in these is wikipedia, then perhaps one book. For some of them, the only source is wikipedia.

Not beating the allegations with this one, champ (that’s short for champion)

“Pay no attention to the colonialism behind the curtain!”

The Baron was a lot more fun in Lynch’s Dune as well.

Piccolo gang represent

Also my choice for best character. Watching him develop from enemy, to rival, to friend, to eventually mentoring and becoming a second dad to Gohan was great.

And yeah, it’s a shame that he eventually becomes fairly irrelevant as the story goes on (like most of the non-saiyan fighters)

It’s funny. When I was much younger, I disdained DB and preferred DBZ because it was more “serious” or something. Now I find DB, with it’s focus on adventures over fights and relatively lower stakes, to be far more entertaining. It’s also generally much funnier.

Goku from DB is a great choice btw.

Should be “going to a music festival outside a concentration camp”

You are deranged.

You can call on her to sanction Israel as president

I mean, you could certainly try. It wouldn’t work at all, but you could definitely try.

Especially when New New Labour’s whole pitch was competence and honesty. Hard to slang the Tories off for their obvious corruption when Starmer accepts every gift he’s offered.

“I’ll nuke China and deal with all these damn immigrants!”

“Yeah, well I’ll double nuke China and deal with all these damn immigrants!”

The only thing I want to hear from Tony Blair is the death rattle and frantic struggling after the hangman pulls the lever.

I salute comrade Trump for his contributions to the vital process of dismantling American hegemony.

This. This. A thousand times this. The American empire doesn’t do these things for free. I’m sure certain Americans are very interested in exploiting Ukraine’s mineral wealth working in partnership with the Ukrainian people to develop their economy.

Possibly unpopular to say here, but aside from the government itself and certain elements of the state, I actually do have sympathy for the Ukrainians, insofar as they were misled into the war by the yanks and the West in general. So many dead, for nothing, for less than nothing.

I have to admit, it is gratifying not to have to field dozens of replies that include the word “tankie”.

She’s a doomer anarcho-pacifist btw.

The subway sandwich model of political ideology.

I wish them every success in this vital endeavour - the imperialist American world order must be fought with every available tool and cooperation across nations is essential.
