@eman_muhammad21 @zerowontmiss Dracula includes a vampire and Stoker is getting his Transylvania from books, but when the action is in London it makes reference to the very modern world the author lived in. So yes, you can combine the fantastic with attention to historical detail.

[Stacy Forsythe @Mazinderan]

@zerowontmiss The details aren’t true, but it’s at least based on the events of a real time period. We have artifacts from Bronze Age Greece and Anatolia. It would be like the various efforts to portray King Arthur in an “accurate” post-Roman context absent the later medievalisms.

@Harrison_Taint @MattWalshBlog After all the complaints about race-swapping, your version has black men as the Atreides brothers (the original ones, not their distant descendants over in the Dune franchise). I don’t mind, but that might actually get more pushback than black Helen.

@TheHoughtoning @MattWalshBlog Idris Elba would be a damned charismatic Moses. And he wouldn’t be any more of an ethnic miscast than Charlton Heston. A Jewish actor with strong Middle Eastern roots would be ideal, provided he can play the character.

@KaitWillett @PitViperHOA Maybe “explaining” other people’s behavior and assuring your audience that other women are lying if they say otherwise is a bad idea.

If you, personally, dress provocatively at the gym to get attention, that’s one thing, but don’t speak for everyone.

@MattWalshBlog There is a tradition of judicial opinions being a bit “fun” when the question before them is one that never should have been brought in the first place.

Also we will be super concerned about professionalism in high places when the President displays it.

[Stacy Forsythe @Mazinderan]

@Nerdcognito That’s just adapting the rules to the desired setting and tone. Groups do that all the time and have been since 1974.

How does something become more performative or scripted by *removing* easy get-out-of-death options?

@DollyT222027 Except for Stephen King’s affectation of “all lowercase in parentheses,” italics for thoughts is what I’m used to, definitely from more than 20 years ago. Maybe it went out of fashion?

@SandyofCthulhu The “Manosphere” does not have a healthy or sane idea of masculinity or male-female relations. No one should be pandering to them at any time.

Also, this is the childhood nostalgia show that constantly taught lessons to the young viewers.

@MikeQui31928816 @hwinkler4real Do not be an asshole to the Fonz.

[Stacy Forsythe @Mazinderan]

@AkaWhacked @hwinkler4real Do not dis the Fonz, sir.

@Fenrirtheicewo1 @AzraeleDelmorte @therealKripke Dude, this is Homelander we’re talking about. Not a hero, and pathetic from the beginning.

[Stacy Forsythe @Mazinderan]

@squidlord Ooo. Have you a link?

[Stacy Forsythe @Mazinderan]

@CerebralNinjaMD @Ghitelman Not a first cousin of similar age, no.

But a distant cousin of your parents’ or grandparents’ generation? Quite possibly.

[Stacy Forsythe @Mazinderan]

@SandyofCthulhu Further, what does it add to the point of the story that she’s his aunt or even his relative? What does he gain from this “purposeful deception”?

[Stacy Forsythe @Mazinderan]

@SandyofCthulhu Dude, are you not any kind of honorary uncle? Don’t have any? This isn’t even a culture-specific thing.

[Stacy Forsythe @Mazinderan]

@mauddweeb @Ghitelman Heck, if you want to go after Mamdani’s truthfulness, focus on the meat of the claim, the woman afraid to be visibly Muslim in the aftermath of 9/11, not his relationship terminology.

[Stacy Forsythe @Mazinderan]

@mauddweeb @Ghitelman I’m white and Christian. I have an honorary aunt and am one myself. Both of us are also actual aunts. This is only a lie if you want to be a dick about it.

@SandyofCthulhu The whole deal with individual rights is that they are not subject to democratic review. The Bill of Rights sets forth the matters the majority *doesn’t get* to rule on. (And also states that rights, unlike the powers of the state, are not limited to the enumerated list.)
