I really hate how it's especially some of the most thoughtful people who turn out to be this.

I can see it now. The Muppets do a series of sketches based on his comic creations. Sam Eagle objects to everyone dressing as even bigger freaks and weirdos, until he learns about one of Jack's earliest creations and winds up playing Captain Samerica in the finale.

So after the highly-successful 50th anniversary pilot special earlier this year, Disney still hasn't greenlit a Muppet Show reboot because the three production companies involved are having trouble "cracking the premise". WHAT DO YOU MEAN!? IT'S THE MUPPET SHOW, THAT'S THE PREMISE. FUCK.

Yeah it always feels like this performative "I renounce Satan and all their works" thing. I won't support Gaiman but I still think Sandman is the greatest comic book series ever written. Similarly, HP is VERY problematic in retrospect, but I won't pretend it never had value. But also, fuck Rowling.

Kind of amazing to find someone who goes "Yeah I just super love evil and fascism everywhere all the time". Almost gotta admire their honesty. Almost.

I've been reading through the original Lee/Kirby Fantastic Four and having a blast. I can see why this is the magazine that put Marvel Comics on the map. Say what you want about Stan Lee, but one thing the man's work never lacked was personality. This is male friendship in its purest form.

A panel from 1963's Fantastic Four #19:

The Thing lifts Mr. Fantastic off the ground in joy after getting exciting news, saying "Reed, you ol' dictionary-readin' double-talkin' rubber-boned egghead! What are we standin' around jawin' for!? Let's go!!"

Mr. Fantastic responds "Ben, you hot-tempered, loudmouthed, beetle-brained gargoyle... That's what I was WAITING for you to say!!"

For Arkham Knight specifically a huge theme is that Batman wants to keep others out of harm's way, especially after he thought Barbara died. Though for Batman's wider canon a lot of it is the importance of Batman as a symbol. If the League is constantly saving Gotham, the Bat means nothing.

Captain Max @captainmax.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

You just kinda gotta go along with this idea that superheroes have a general policy of not constantly stepping on each other's toes unless called upon or they feel like a situation requires their attention especially. Like when Green Arrow yelled for Superman to save Connor when they were at sea.

Captain Max @captainmax.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

This is a question for Batman stories in general, 'cuz Gotham is constantly under crisis. No Man's Land had a good answer for THAT story of "Gotham's people are so broken by the cataclysm that Superman's kind of help just isn't something they're emotionally ready for right now". But other times...

Is it bad I found out there's a tornado warning happening in Gencon's area and my first thought was "Wow think of how many dice that tornado would be rolling"?

I am really fucking tired of hearing that the USA needs to be competitive against the rest of the world in AI. That's like saying "We need to be best in the world at punching ourselves in the crotch".

I thought a Spirited Away/Lilo and Stitch double feature in memoriam of Daveigh Chase would destroy me emotionally but it actually made me feel a lot better. She did some really great work that'll keep making people happy forever.

Ok but if Superman were a Pokémon he'd be Shedinja 'cuz of Wonder Guard, alright, thanks for coming to my "relaying the last thought I had in my sleep right after waking up while it's still in my mind" talk.

You know what I don't get today is like, why are there things in the world that don't have anything to do with Pokémon? Who is that for? It doesn't make any sense.

I wonder if it ever occurred to Trump that the reason he's never seen Kaitlin Collins smile in ten years is because every time he's seen her she's been stuck in a room with a rapist.

The thing that sucks about growth is when you suddenly realize something you like may be problematic. I should not be questioning if I should delete, of all things, the Team Chaotix theme from Sonic Heroes from my music library because I find it iffy how they use "brain-damaged" as a pejorative.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

"Facism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike."

User dratsab huffman asks the question:

To amuse myself i researched revacholian nationalism as well as measure head's race theories etc etc and focused my character on "traditionalism".

Anyway, ive noticed that if i ever click dialogue options that are in tune with my character's political compass, i lose morale. Whats the point of having this as a mechanic if its going to be so detrimental and feels like the character doesnt believe he actually is this or something... is there anyway to overcome that kind of morale loss?

Recalcitrant Jester replies:
Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis.

In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition score—the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness.

The point of fascism being mechanically detrimental—the ludonarrative theme—is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.
