Still catching up on the news, but I think this is accurate…
tangentially related to the last post can we put to rest the "who would win in a fight percy jackson or harry potter" it's percy jackson ANY DAY. harry's main thing is just flinging the other person's wand out of their hands. he's a british private school student. percy jackson is from new york city. percy jackson has a KILL COUNT. even WITHOUT crazy ocean powers he could body that little orphan fuck any day. this boy killed a fury and the minotaur with NO COMBAT TRAINING
He didn't even have a weapon for the minotaur he jumped on top of it, broke its horn and stabbed it with it. he killed medusa, mailed her head to the gods to be a little shit because he's mad they don't pay child support, then later used it to turn his shitty step dad to stone and he did this at age 12. what was harry doing at 12? probably passing out bc that's what he does 90% of the time. percy doesn't even need powers to scrap but if he wanted he could probably freeze harry's lungs avatar kyoshi style or flood his house. not only would percy jackson take out harry potter in seconds i could make a list of characters his age at various points who would make him leave in a stretcher. even steven universe could beat his ass
how dare you question the amazing method of farming that gives us so much food by simply killing the soil and leaving lands barren without maintaining the resources that make it work in the first place.
last year i got 1800 bushels of corn by killing the soil, as opposed to before when i only got 1200 by not killing the soil. surely i can simply keep killing more soil
wym there's only so much soil. that's an externality and therefore none of my concern
well here's the thing, under normal circumstances without human intervention soil recovery can take a long long time. with human intervention, such as mulching, cover crops (that you then turn into mulch), seeding with beneficial fungi, etc, soil buildup can be massively boosted. we can be a positive force instead of a negative one. we just have to start doing that
We literally already pulled off a 10-year turnaround by getting a company to dump a lot of orange peels in an area.
people always blast right past the "if we continue with current practices" and go straight to "this is inevitable"
If we continue with current practices we have 60 years left, but if we stopped doing that and did other things we could fix it in 10 or less

I’m absolutely obsessed with the poem created by putting the results in order, including my own display of failure of faith (or perhaps more accurately: ultimate commitment to the story I know). How slim the margin of victory.

noooo don’t turn me into a one dimensional facet of my personality and grossly misinterpret me to indulge in your ships nooooooo
Have a dumb low effort comic because I can’t sleep and this show is giving me brainworms
All you need to know about it is there is an elf guy who is good at looking really sad and being hot
Beau going out of her way to join Caleb to go off to learn and study amongst people who don’t expect the world of her.
Fjord being stopped by another half-orc and told, for the first time in his life, that he doesn’t have to make himself small and palatable - his orc blood isn’t something to be ashamed of.
Nott buying herself a dress and taking off her mask and wrappings, because to be a goblin here isn’t odd or strange.
Caleb shaving his beard and unwrapping his arms, because he no longer has to fear being identified as the insane ex-prodigy of the Cerberus Assembly.
Xhorhas as a haven for this eclectic group of scarred and distrusting people, because they have the full support and favor and protection of the ruler, and they don’t have to walk on eggshells through every conversation or continuously look over their shoulders whenever they’re around other people.
(thinking of someone who should be here but isn’t, who would thrive in a place full of strange people, who would absolutely use the crest of the Bright Queen to its fullest and oddest extent. whose beautiful and bright purple skin would finally fit right in)
“Spiderverse 2 is a love story between miles and Gwen” we need to. Take action. Somehow
“There will be a jealousy subplot with spider punk” must we really sit here and take this
The first movie didn’t have the writers of Voltron legendary defender working on it
I'm willing to admit when I'm wrong

Sony thank you for giving me this
I love how you can see Vex visibly well up inside of Laura Bailey whenever a member of the Mighty Nein pays WAYYYY too much for something. There’s a half-elf in there and she’s screaming in rage because Beau let herself get duped into overpaying for bodyguards.
The Mighty Nein are arbiters of peace. They’ve committed mail theft and identity fraud. They have taken down at least three cults. They are physically unable to remember to call ahead before visiting. They’ve worked for two governments at war with each other. They were banned from Pirate Island for stealing. They freed an enslaved water being. They accidentally kidnapped a man, gave him a job, and repeatedly ask him if he’s committed murder. They returned a precious cultural artifact. They carried a god in their pockets for months for no reason except fuck the government. They befriended giants, yetis, and an evil hag. They’ve been banned (and then unbanned) from four archives/libraries—three of those were in the same day. They survived some dude’s custom made murder house on its own plane. Twice. (And they plan to go back in again.) They once tried to solve their problems by setting up a Kaiju battle. They pulled off a heist against a white dragon. They’ve read smut to ghosts. They are the most annoying people you will ever meet. They’ve saved the world and you love them.
