Britain is a nation of masochists in denial. We fill the curriculum with photos of the Blitz bombings and make citizens think "Ooh yeah, that's aspirational!"

Proven by how the Poppy has now become a meaningless year round symbol of British culture war, divorced from semiotic purpose.

So, Johnson, Farage, Badenoch, the Telegraphโ€ฆ howl about the UK being โ€œan irrelevance on the world stageโ€.
Remind me again who decided to isolate us with a strategically and economically idiotic Brexit, relying on a trade deal with the US to save us from exactly the kind of weakness they now bemoan.

There's a line in the Doctor Who episode Father's Day- "I'm your dad. It's my job for it to be my fault."

That line has stuck with me for 21 years because it feels like the heart of adulting. We're supposed to be the ones held accountable and looking out for those just starting out.

I fully admit to hitting a point with Star Wars where I can be like "Maybe it's not fucking important. Maybe arguing over fiction doesn't matter when the world is ablaze and you have life experiences to get on top of."

Exacerbated by how little sincerity there is online anyway.

-can experience the con and if I need some time alone I can just pop up stairs and return to proceedings just as quickly. I'm not at all familiar with Birmingham so don't really want to be running back and forth to different locations.

If at all possible I really don't want to miss out on getting a room for TFNation within the hotel itself. Especially not after last year where due to issues I didn't have a room for Saturday night and ended up dozzing in lobby chairs until I could get my train Sunday morning. I like knowing that I-

I do that very autistic thing of trying to relate problems to my own to show I get what you're saying.

See, I'm doing it right now. Sadly people mistake that for narcissist.

All this talk of how Paramount are handling GI Joe reminds me of that Conservative Cartoon All Stars To The Rescue short from early YouTube where the villains are written as parody left wing strawmen.

Ironically in that, Cobra Commander invokes Chomsky to defend his crimes...

-fucked now, so why panic?"

Certainly isn't where I thought I'd be when I made my vow in 2023. But as if proving my view, if I tell myself it's not my responsibility to fight the world goes to shit even harder. Sometimes feel like I'm some loadbearer in the cosmic balance tasked to suffer...

-the shit and I hate how much that has managed to calm me. There were a bunch of reasons I opposed Brexit but a deeply personal one was after a lifetime of abuse I was finally poised to take control of my life but had it definitively stolen from me. I really shouldn't be thinking "Guess we're all-

One of the worst things about my current mental state is the peace I've gained from the problem being bigger. Back in 2016 Brexit was very much a domestic crisis. It felt like my future was being stolen as those I knew around the world marched forward. Now 10 years later pretty much everyone is in-

There's definitely fetishising going on. I remember when the common online term was 'traps' and trans people were reduced to a roleplay kink. The whole right wing transphobia dovetails with actual trans people arguing for respect.

I really need to update my profile on here. I haven't been on antidepressants for months (requested to stop because I felt they'd lifted me as high as they could and were starting to feel artificial).

Reminded the right tried to argue Suletta is white, just tanned. As a Brit, her biological father is what we'd call Asian (India and neighbouring countries), so very much no.

There is something deeply, deeply wrong with a lot of people around today.

May they get what they deserve.

Darkwing could be surprisingly...dark. Recall this one freaking me out a bit as a kid.

That, the vampire potato ep and the time travel ep where Darkwing becomes a fascist.

-Wang's motivation in his mind. So when the show reveals she's just a shallow person who begrudges having responsibility from a young age, he was livid about being somehow betrayed. Just as much as productions can be bad, sometimes fans write cheques in their name unwisely.

We can't expect every new Gundam show to reinvent the wheel. I'll say again no one is wrong if they genuinely didn't like GQuuuuuuX but for my part I think too many went in with expectations the show was never designed to fulfill. Mildly reminds me of an asshat who was watching 00 and built up-
