A movie set in Ireland? Let's see how accurate it is. *opening shot shows lots of rain* *rain is so loud it's literally drowning out the film's opening score* A little on the nose but not innacurate.

I know we like to rag on our country, but sometimes Ireland does some pretty awesome stuff. Because of our artist basic income pilot, others are following our lead.

In honour of Coyote vs ACME, here's that time UK Sonic the Comic depicted Sonic as Road Runner:

From Sonic the Comic #129.
Sonic as Road Runner running away from Robotnik as Wile E Coyote whos' brandishing a knife and fork.
Sonic: "WHATEVER you do I'll still fight you!"
(Context: Robotnik has gained incredible power and is warping reality. Sonic, being Sonic, is still fighting him whatever the odds.)

As a kid, I didn't really understand how true this strip was.

Calvin and Hobbes comic strip, 24th March 1993
Calvin is in classroom at his desk
(over 3 panels, Calvin getting more and more passionate to the point he's standing on his chair) "Miss Wormwood, I protest this "C" grade! That's saying I only did an "average" job! I got 75% of the answers correct, and in today's society, doing something 75% right is outstanding! If government and industry were 75% competent, we'd be ecstatic! I won't stand for this artificial standard of performance! I demand an "A" for this kind of work!"

(4th panel, Calvin is slouched in his chair, a put off expression on his face) I think it's really gross how she drinks Mallox straight from the bottle.

I've come to this conclusion in a roundabout way through my life. I'll help people if I can, I like helping people. But first and foremost, you've gotta make sure you yourself are doing okay. In a lot of ways, your personal wellbeing benefits the world, often more than we realise.
