Dr Horrible intended to be evil but never followed through.

They told me that at a dinner.

I don’t have any idea really, but one possible contributing element is the speed of delivery. My understanding (possibly incorrectly) is that western comics are more commonly delivered on a one book per month cycle, whereas Manga delivers a lot more content in the same time period. Part of this production time can probably be attributed to coloring time (Western comics color every panel vs Manga printed in mostly black and white).

There’s also the accessibility of Manga and anime, having relatively newer characters without the burden of decades of backstory (not accounting for One Piece). Running an anime with (mostly) similar story line helps to bring potential new readers up to speed quickly with Manga, whereas the animated adaptations of western comics often seem to pick specific story arcs of comics, or make up entirely new stories.

This is why we need to ban hurricanes.

I rewatched Young Guns recently, and besides the fantastic nostalgia rush, I realized that I had only ever seen the edited for TV version

Fracking technology has some potential upside in the climate discussion, https://time.com/6302342/fervo-fracking-technology-geothermal-energy/

A ban on fracking might not be the best solution if you want to move the technology towards something more beneficial to the fight against climate change.

All of the orcas, but they gotta fight on land…

You can decimate an opposing army an infinite number of times and never defeat them. 🤷

Shamefully when I’m alone, but with jubilation when I’m in front of my kids, I will always bop to Gangnam Style

Although there were a lot of problems with Ender’s Game, I was a little surprised that they didn’t adapt any of the sequels. I mean I wouldn’t have watched them, but it seemed like they went pretty all in on that first one to not at least try the second with a significantly reduced budget.

Anyone’s 2024 politics Bingo card have “IDK, some DaVinci Code shit” on it?

Wasn’t it Don Jr that convinced his dad to pick Vance? Not that I think Trump concerns himself much with his family, but he’s going to have to throw someone under the bus for the decision to go with Vance in the first place. Don Jr might have to go back to being 5th favorite child.

Death Valley: Whatevs, I got yer shoes

Corey Booker or Raphael Warnock seem like they could bring a helpful calming demeanor, though I think the tickets have historical been the other way around, with the VP being more aggressive.

Are rifle teams common in high schools? I mean I know that sport shooting is a thing, but I never heard of a high school with a rifle team. I went to high school in WA state.

Wouldn’t criminals just wait to do crimes until it’s raining?

The Tropic Thunder DVD commentary

Probably the PS3. Got it at a time in my life when I didn’t have much direction, and then stumbled into Demon’s Souls while I thought I was waiting for Skyrim to come out. I still play my second PS3 after playing my first one to death.

I did not assert that the court gave full immunity for all things, but will now suggest that not every crime is a violation of the constitution, or could not be committed while carrying out a function of the constitution.

Why would immunity be necessary if the act is not otherwise a crime?
