This is me. I loved that show at the time. I'm not going to act like I didn't just because Whedon is an asshole.
But I think the conversation has moved on in ways that would mean a reboot would be constrained by, rather than buoyed by, its origins.
A network should simply make a tv show of @valerievaldes.bsky.social's Eva Innocente series.
You can like something and think a lot of it is pretty good and still hold the opinion that it had its day and we don’t need more of it now
I could be wrong but I suspect he'd be owed residuals
But also
Look I was obsessed with firefly
but yeah it's best left in the past
it's SO GOOD
Disco Space Opera is such a good call, here.
WAYFARERS exists.
So does DISCO SPACE OPERA.
And I can name like fifteen authors who could write to the brief without being gross and creepy about it before I ran out of breath and had to pause
look if folks are wanting to produce a show about a ragtag crew in a big scary universe I have some suggestions that won't involve giving a shitty dude money for the privilege of revivifying something best left in the past

It is 2026 and we are not fucking doing this anymore. EIGHT WOMEN came forward and told stories of Franken GROPING AND FORCIBLY KISSING THEM. The man was a sexual abuser. He did not and does not belong in congress. Fucking period. End of conversation.
An image of a quotation from Marcus Aurelius' MEDITATIONS which reads: "52. You are not compelled to form an opinion about this matter before you, not to disturb your piece of mind at all. Things in themselves have no power to extort a verdict from you." Beneath the quote, diagonal pink type has been applied which reads; Marcus Aurelius has already released you from the obligation to have a take
I keep seeing so many people on social media obsessed with having a take, in times of crisis. Hell, I've done it too. But remember: You DON'T have to have one.
It's ok to say I have no idea. Also, see image:
Paternal grandmother: English teacher, poet, homemaker. Took up videography post retirement.
Paternal grandad 1: anything that wouldn't get him arrested and some things that did. Plumber.
Paternal grandad 2: silver star for valor he wouldn't tell us anything about but I'm led to understand it involved punching Nazis out of the sky over England. Insisted he was a professional bum.
Maternal grandad: artist, architectural concept artist, technical illustrator (see: artist). Veteran.
Maternal grandmother: retail, alterations, homemaker (10 kids)
Isaac Chotiner absolutely can simply walk into Mordor, sit down and interview Sauron, and then a few hours later after he’s gone Sauron looks and goes “Well when you say it like that it looks bad.”
Who can reply: anyone, nobody, people who can be normal about it.
trying out a new feature, lmk if it works
Cold climate plant people only: If I want to grow balcony strawberries in Chicago this summer when should I start the seeds?
to be fair if I didn't know that "luxury" trucks with crew cabs existed I'd think those were AI hallucinations too
But at least their left and right wheels are evenly spaced, unlike this Oregon Trail F150

what the hell is going on with that carriage/cart/thing on the left
(I know I know but GAH)

Look I'm not an "I demand to speak to the manager" kind of person but WHY is there MORE SNOW
This is a good read. I'm also thinking about how almost all disability organizations, including ones for Tourette's, have very white leadership, which means many fail to approach situations like this with intersectional nuance. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/politic...
GM: Charisma check.
Mamdani: [rolls natural 20]
GM: that’s a d6 how did you
Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊
People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws
I'm sure there are people being assholes because tis ever thus, but the main conversation is full of understanding and empathy, which is not what I've come to expect from this here internet of ours.
A comment about meanness earlier today reminded me orthogonally about how impressed I've been with the kindness I've seen on here in response to the BAFTA situation.
I may have seen it and just forgotten but I'll take that over remembering
The right has tried to claim that religion is on their side, and the truth is that religion, like people in this country, spans the entire spectrum.
Several great blue herons lined up along the edge of a large industrial dock. The heron closest to the viewer is in crisp focus, and the herons behind it get progressively blurrier. Most of them are facing in the same direction as the bird in front, looking out across the dock, which has a few large pipes running along its length. Taken at Ballard Locks.
A photo from today's walk. I sometimes get my ducks in a row, but this is the first time I've managed to get my herons in a row.
