ok hear me out on this one folks and let me know if i’m cooking

star trek tos episode that revolves around the trope “trapped in tv land”. something technobabbly happens (maybe similar to the musical episode of snw) and all the characters are placed in a sitcom universe, laugh track and all. none of them realize that anything is wrong as if they’ve lived in this sitcom world their entire lives.

kirk and spock are the unlikely roommates that end up becoming good friends (and even lovers??)

bones is the town doctor, with chapel as his nurse of course. he is often at kirk and spock’s house even though he doesn’t live there

kirk and spock have standard 60s office jobs. uhura is a trusty and speedy switchboard operator. rand is the fastest typist at the office. chekhov and sulu are hard workers, when they aren’t pulling sitcom hijinks (and roping in rand)

scotty is the local auto mechanic, but he can fix about anything.

bones is the first to notice that something seems off. this isn’t right and yet he can’t explain why. the disembodied canned laughter that was a normal part of everyday life has turned terrifying. his friends are worried about him but uhura confesses that she thinks something is wrong too.

the cracks are beginning to show more and more. has every building always had a black void replacing one of it’s walls?

bones and uhura are working tirelessly to figure out a way out. and yet bones almost has hesitations. spock and kirk are happy. they are living a lie. this life doesn’t fit them the way working on a starship does. but they are together in a way they’ve never been before. they are living the peaceful, domestic life they’ve never gotten the chance to live. no duty, no obligations to a ship and crew, no vulcan judgement.

bones knows that he has to get them out of there, but he still has a little guilt.

everyone is disoriented after the fact of course. they suddenly have the memories of their real lives back, combined with memories of a fake world and life.

kirk and spock know that they can’t just brush this experience off. things have changed between them, and they can’t ignore it forever. a part of them misses that simple life, where they only needed each other.

Much Depends on Dinner 2024 Showcase

In Winter 2024, students enrolled in Dr. Margot Finn's ALA 264 Much Depends on Dinner worked in groups to research and write captions for food history materials in the Special Collections Research Center's Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive and in the collections of the William L. Clements Library.

These were featured on the Shapiro Library Screens in Bert's Study Lounge.

Katzen, Mollie & Mermelstein, Catherine B. (1977). The Moosewood cookbook : recipes from Moosewood Restaurant, Ithaca, New York. Berkeley, California: Ten Speed Press. In the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive.

“The most influential vegetarian cookbook of all time” – Wall Street Journal 

The Moosewood Cookbook consists of authentic vegetarian food and dessert recipes that incorporate various cultures. Seven founders created the first Moosewood cookbook in 1972 in response to the rise of vegetarianism during the 20th century. These recipes range from the Mushroom Moussaka to the Cardamom Coffee Cake – an Indian spice incorporated into the classic German coffee cake. These simple yet healthy recipes are cooked at the Moosewood restaurant in Ithaca, New York. Make sure you visit the restaurant on your next trip!

[Culinary Menu : Travel - Ships]. 1905-1997. In the Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive.

This menu describes the luncheon served in the three-story first class “Grand Salon” dining room of the British R.M.S “Queen Mary” on Saturday, June 14, 1952, on their weekly trip between Cherbourg, France and New York, USA. Although the cruise ship was initially catered to the upper class before World War II, it eventually expanded to include the tourist classes as well. The menu on the ship changed daily and offered some of the fanciest dishes of the time. The “Queen Mary” is now permanently docked in Long Beach and serves as a floating museum and restaurant.

"I love heartland It's been a great show, I just wished they stick to the storyline. For fans that watch, we keep up. Example, one minute there's a pic of their late mom and it doesn't look like the actress who played her. Then one minute Lou couldn't waitress and got fired and the next she owns it and knows what customers want. Then there's Lisa who is rich but is in jeopardy of losing her horse breeding ranch. There's many tiny loopholes, like Ty's mother, she raised him but didn't? The inconsistency of Ashley's character is funny, one minute she's Amy's arch enemy ("Ashley just drives me insane" ) the next their lifelong friends. I just wish they'd keep up with the storyline. Like Val was a villain in the beginning but she's Jack's friend? Bailing out Caleb for the Bartlett family sake. I sorta can't believe no one else has pointed this out. I do love the show though, and Amber Marshall has made it become the hit it is! She absolutely gorgeous with the horses. I think the worst is the Ty episodes, anybody ever think boy this boy, fell off a cliff, had a motorcycle wreck, had a plane wreck, etc and the boy is still alive but partly klutz?? I just know the stories could have been a bit better. Heck I could have written some things in there for a laugh here and there! And Tim please stay with one woman if you're worried about your girls and the dynamics of your relationship with them! Remember the Callie thingy?? Then it's full force to Janice, Casey, Miranda, Jessica like wow!! Womanizers ok??

Jack is great grandpa though!"

Solar Opposites in Mighty Solars Issue #4: “Fighting for Family” Ch. 3

6 Days later…

At school, Yumyulack is getting ready for gym class while the others are chatting over his sister not being here.

Jackie Quilbar: Has anyone seen Jesse lately?

Monica kicks a board in half.

Monica Miller: Krav Maga! shows off her moves to the Headphone Guys as they run off screaming, except for Mark

Mark: Cool!

Mark then looks at Yumyulack and feels something in him like this:

Mark then walks away, but then notices an old batter up locker that once belong to Stacy G as he grows shock. Later, at PE class, Yumyulack starts playing dodgeball but his team misses as they groan. Yumyulack blushes and laugh nervously.

Wendi: Way to go, weirdo!

Ally: Yeah! Way to blow it!

Yumyulack then looks down sadly but, then notices something underneath his pants that made him run to the restroom. Principal Cooke grows suspicious and follows him. Yumyulack heads to the bathroom. Ms. Perez sees Cooke and follows him. Then, Principal Cooke kicks down the door with his feet. Yumyulack screams.

Ms. Perez: Cooke what are you doing?!

Principal Cooke: Ah-Ha! gasp in shock

To their shock, Yumyulack has human legs. Principal Cooke faints. Yumyulack panics and calls Korvo.

Yumyulack Solar-Opposites: Korvo! Help! I think I’m turning into a- starts glowing and screams

Korvo Solar-Opposites: Yumyulack! Yumyulack?!

Then, Ms. Perez and Cooke shield their eyes as the glow gets brighter. The glow then disappears. Then, Ms. Perez and Cooke gasp upon seeing unbelievable: Yumyulack is now a human teenage boy!

Principal Cooke: Aw fuck! I knew that your dads should’ve never given you those vintage lunchables and X-Box Live, damn it!

Ms. Perez: Yumyulack?

Human Yumyulack Solar-Opposites: Oh god! I’m human. Wait. checks under his pants

Human Yumyulack grins in joy.

Human Yumyulack Solar-Opposites: No way! I got pubes!

Later at the Solars’ house…

Terry Solar-Opposites: Damn Yumyulack, you really did become a real teenage human boy!

Korvo Solar-Opposites: Oh honey. Your clothes!

Human Yumyulack Solar-Opposites: Sorry growth spurt must’ve happened during that transformation.

Phoebe MacCarthy: So what do we do now?

Terry Solar-Opposites: I dunno. Wait for Korvo to become human?

Korvo Solar-Opposites: Oh. I’m sure we got extra clothes for you, Yumyulack. And great news! They’re your human size!

Korvo then gave Human Yumyulack a green hoodie with a white t-shirt and a pair of male jeans.

Phoebe MacCarthy: Nice!

Human Yumyulack then change his clothes in the bathroom as he comes out.

Human Yumyulack Solar-Opposites: I kinda like this!

Korvo Solar-Opposites: Great for you kiddo! But I better head to Vegas next week! That’s where the crime scene La Smaragdus started her crime! Wish me luck guys!

Korvo turns into Quasarblast.

Korvo Solar-Opposites/Quasarblast: I must fly! flies off

Terry Solar-Opposites: Kick some ass honey!

Human Yumyulack Solar-Opposites: Good luck K-Dog!

Quasarblast laughs and blows Terry a kiss.

Jesse Solar-Opposites: We’re rooting for you!

Pupa Solar-Opposites: Yay! Korvo!

Phoebe MacCarthy: See you in five days or so!

5 days later…

Quasarblast arrives in Las Vegas at the casino La Smaragdus started her first crime and goes up the security guard.

Security Guard: Who the fuck are you?

Korvo Solar-Opposites/Quasarblast: Your worst fucking nightmare!

Security Guard: Hey go easy man! I can tell you everything!

Quasarblast goes invisible. Then, he opens the door and plays the security footage as he gasp. He then sees La Smaragdus paying of the security guards

Korvo Solar-Opposites/Quasarblast: This is not good…

As he looks closely, Quasarblast then sees La Smaragdus stealing a priceless diamond and turn some the costumers as the superhero Shlorpian turns towards the guards in anger

Suddenly…

Security Guard: Prim Quasarblast out!

Quasarblast gets into a fighting stance. The guards then ambush and shoves Quasarblast into a cement mixer as he screams and is thrown outside as the block breaks and Quasarblast free himself and flies back home. There, Quasarblast turns back into Korvo and hides behind the garbage pail as it starts raining. Korvo groans in frustration He looks up at the Taco Bell sign and sighs because he is behind a dumpster at Taco Bell

Korvo Solar-Opposites: I have the worst luck today.

Korvo then looks up at the sky as rain falls in him.

Korvo Solar-Opposites: Now what do I do?

Suddenly… A nose appears on Korvo’s face as he grow surprised and confused.

Korvo: What the fuck?

Then, ears appear on Korvo as he grow shock

Korvo: Oh god! No!

Korvo then starts glowing.

Korvo Solar-Opposites: glows brighter WHAT THE FUCK’S HAPPENING?!

The glow disappears and Korvo groans and clutches his head.

Korvo Solar-Opposites: offscreen What the hell was that?

Korvo then feels something on his head that made him gasp. Korvo looks himself in the mirror. Korvo screams in shock, because he has now becomes a gorgeous human as he breaths in and out.

Human Korvo Solar-Opposites: Oh God! I’m too attractive!

Human Korvo suddenly hears something.

Janice: offscreen H’no Hello? Anyone out there y’know?

Human Korvo gasps and runs off. Human Korvo then hides in a empanada truck then Randall from Halloween sees him.

Randall: Hey, sir? What are you doing in here?

Human Korvo Solar-Opposites: RANDALL FROM HALLOWEEN?!

Randal: Yeah, that’s my name. Why are you-

Janice: offscreen Mr! Wait! Are you okay?!

Human Korvo Solar-Opposites: GET AWAY!

Then, someone opens the door and it turns out be Janice from Korvo and Terry’s old job.

Human Korvo Solar-Opposites: Wait. Janice?!

Randall: Huh?

Randall then looks at Janice and grows lovestruck while “True” from Spandau Balledt plays in the background:

Randall: Oh, uh hi.

Human Korvo Solar-Opposites: Janice, it’s me, Korvo!

Janice: What?!

Then Human Korvo gulps and tries think of a better idea. Then, he sees a magazine cover for LBGTQ+ Models and got an idea upon seeing a name.

Human Korvo Solar-Opposites: Uh, I mean Korey.

Randall: Korey?

Janice: H’no, that’s a good name, y’know?

Human Korvo Solar-Opposites: Uh yes. I just moved here… notices his ripped apart and ruined robe Oh shit! My clothes!

Randall: Oh, that’s okay! I have some old clothes you can have.

Human Korvo then looks in the box and then suddenly looks at the mirror and began to feel infatuated with himself as he flips his long blond hair with his hand and grows smitten.

Human Korvo Solar-Opposites: Whoa whistles, actually, I think this look might do well. See ya folks. takes a pair of clothes and leave

Human Korvo then sees a nearby gym shower and grins with an idea.

Human Korvo Solar-Opposites: Boo-ya!

❛    I can multitask,    ❜       Janice didn’t even need to be looking at Christine to know there was a pout on her lips, everything about her tone  —   the grumble and stubbornness that was dripping from it    —     screamed that she was pouting.    She is not very good at staying still, of allowing other to pay the same attention of care she always gives;    she doesn’t mind being the center of attention, welcomes it usually, but not when there is a chance the other person could be pitying her. 

Just because her foot is broken doesn’t mean she needs to be worried about.    She can hop from one corner of the room to the other just fine, and just because she doesn’t want Janice to leave, doesn’t mean she doesn’t think she should.

Crossing her arms over her chest, Christine sighs and falls back into the pillows Janice nicely arranged.    ❛    And you got better things to do playing nurse-maid to little old me.   It’s your free shift, you don’t wanna spend cooked up in here.    ❜

The Au Pair Boy Part 1

Surprise!!! I have six chapters of this and really need to start getting it out, so I figured with Act 1 ending last week and my backlog on this and Of Butterflies and Backstrokes (Olympic Swimmer) being so low thanks to me trying to the Halloween themed sequel to Icarus (Metal Band) that I would put this out until I build that back up and lower the amount of backlog this one has.

Summary: Eddie Munson is a in bind, set to go on a three month reunion tour, he is in need of nanny for his twin girls Janice and Joan since his partner, Ethan blew up their lives a year ago. Enter nanny extraordinaire, Steve Harrington. Both men struggle with treading the line between boss/nanny and their strong attraction to each other. Will Eddie learn to trust again? Will Steve realize that he was always meant to be right there by Eddie's side?

~

Eddie hung up the phone with a sigh. He wanted to do the tour, because of course he did. But he also had two very rambunctious little girls now. Eddie was a good dad, but he wasn’t the nurturing kind the way Ethan was. But sometime in the last year, Ethan had changed.

He had grown distant and cold, going as far as yelling at the girls which he never used to do. So Eddie quit producing music to give Ethan some much needed time for himself. Fat lot of good that did.

Because apparently Ethan was banging...well, just about everyone but Eddie’s friends. The pool boy, the guy who delivered their food, the cleaning lady, their personal trainer, hell even the barely legal dog walker got more of his husband’s dick than Eddie did.

Which he didn’t find out, by the way. Ethan had told him after handing him divorce papers and legally renouncing parental rights to Joan and Janice. He threw it in Eddie’s face the numerous affairs he had. The one thing he wouldn’t tell him was why.

Why was Ethan so unhappy when Eddie had done everything right?

He buried his head in hands. Janice and Joan were only four and they had been adopted at birth. They never met the mother and were only told that she didn’t want them and never wanted to see them ever again.

So how could Ethan look at those two little angels and decide the same?

Eddie was heartbroken and not ready to move on. So he had agreed to the tour as a way to cope with the sudden explosion of his life. His friends knew Ethan had left, but they didn’t know the extent of his ex’s destruction.

He thought about taking the girls with him, but they were too little. They wouldn’t have fun and would be more terrified then thrilled. So live-in nanny it was.

Thankfully he had a month to find someone who would cook and clean and watch the girls. Especially after having to fire all of his help in the wake of Ethan’s destruction.

He had this.

~

Eddie did not in fact have this. He only had three more days until he left and he was at his wit’s end. He had rejected candidate after candidate for a myriad of reasons. One only wanted part-time despite the ad before a live in nanny. Another said she was strict disciplinarian and thought spanking was the only way to teach a child. And even another just gave off weird vibes.

So he called the agency one more time.

“You’ve gone through all of our female nannies,” the woman huffed on the other end of the line. “We only have male nannies left, surly you don’t–”

“Just send the best male nanny you’ve got!” Eddie barked. “I don’t care about gender for fuck’s sake.”

“I’m not sure–” the woman protested but Eddie hung up on her.

He didn’t have time to listen to whatever excuse she was going to come up with. He was running out of time before the tour and needed someone. Anyone.

He got a call back five minutes later from another woman telling him that they would be sending over their best male nanny at 2pm if that was acceptable.

He sighed with relief. “Yes, that will be perfect. The girls will be down for their nap then.”

“That’s wonderful, Mr. Munson,” she said cheerfully. “The gentleman we are sending over, his name is Steve Harrington, and I sincerely hope he will be a good fit for you.”

“You and me both,” Eddie sighed again. “You and me both.”

~

When Steve got to the house, he would have liked to have said that he wasn’t impressed because he had seen dozens of large houses and even larger sprawling mansions in his time as a full time nanny, but he was. Very much so.

It wasn’t a gaudy modern monstrosity for starters. It liked a Victorian era manor that had been modernized for living in today. It gave off a spooky vibe, but in a fun way and not a horror movie way. Like the Addams family or the Munsters kind of vibe.

He really dug it.

He went up and knocked on the door. It swung open almost immediately to reveal a pretty, petite woman with sparkling green eyes and strawberry blonde hair. She had a sweet smile.

He knew this wasn’t the mother, the file said that it was a single father of twin girls. A rockstar of some sort, though Steve didn’t recognize the name. This must be some kind of servant or PA or something.

“Hi, I’m Steven Harrington,” he greeted putting out his hand for her to shake. “I have a two o’clock appointment with Eddie Munson about the nanny position.”

Her smile widened, dimpling her cheeks. “Hi, I’m Chrissy Cunningham, I’m Corroded Coffin’s manager. Come on in, he’s waiting for you.”

Steve followed her through the house. It was just as impressive as the outside. It was beautifully decorated in dark browns, reds, and black. God, he hoped he got the job. He could really see himself living here.

She opened the door to the office allowed him to walk through, closing it behind him. Which normally wouldn’t have been a problem for Steve but now he was in a room with the hottest guy he had ever seen in his life and he really didn’t need an erection at a job interview.

Eddie looked up, and yup. Steve was done for. He had the biggest brown eyes he had ever seen outside of a Disney cartoon.

“Mr. Munson?” he said, reaching out for a handshake, mustering up every ounce of professionalism he had. “Steven Harrington, how do you do? You can call me Steve.”

Eddie grinned back. “Hey, Steve. Thanks for coming at such a short notice. I understand you’ve been brought up to speed on everything I’ll be needed you to do?”

Steve crossed his legs and put his hands on his lap. Shit, even his voice was sexy as fuck.

“Yes, I’ll be watching the children twenty-four/seven,” Steve recited dutifully, “with doing all of the cooking and some of the cleaning.”

“That’s right,” Eddie said. “That normally wouldn’t be the case, but I’ve had to recently fire all of my staff. In fact, if you are hired on, you’ll be working with Chrissy over the next couple of months to help bring staff back on. I would be putting a lot of trust in you not to fuck me over.”

Steve nodded. It was a bit like Robin’s period dramas. He would be running the household while Eddie was away.

“Wouldn’t Chrissy be needed on tour with you?” he asked, not sure what her role actually was.

Eddie shook his head. “She usually does, but I need her here to help to get this house running again. It was hard enough trying to explain to the girls why everyone had to leave. Especially their other dad. She just has her own place and a very demanding job. And the other people I trust with my kids are going on tour with me, so...”

“Yeah, I can see that,” Steve said huffing out a chuckle. “I’m willing and able to take the job. There is just one more thing we have to do first.”

Eddie cocked his head to the side. “I don’t think I offered you the job yet.”

Steve burst out laughing. “No, I don’t suppose you did. But you really should. I’m really good with kids, I’m great cook, my references are impeccable, I have a degree in early child development, and you’re desperately out of time.”

“I noticed that all your previous families had older kids,” Eddie said picking up Steve’s resume. “Can you explain that?”

“Yes,” Steve said with a sigh. “Unfortunately, despite being practically perfect in every way,” Eddie huffed out a small laugh, “if I was a woman I would be the most sought after nanny in the whole god damned state. Even more so if I was older fifty. But because I’m a young man not even thirty yet and all they see is a predator.”

Eddie winced. He held up a finger. He picked up his phone and called the agency. “Hello? Hi Nancy, this is Eddie Munson. Yes, I will be taking Steve Harrington on as my nanny. Thank you so much for sending him over. Can you tell me who it was the first person I spoke to this morning? Yes, yes that’s the one. Kindly inform her that pushing harmful stereotypes only makes you look stupid. Mhmm. Yes. Yes. I want her fired. Thank you. Goodbye.”

Steve looked at him in awe. “Oh wow.”

Eddie grinned at him but before he could open his mouth to say something more, Chrissy poked her head in. “Sorry to disturb you but guess who woke up?”

“Janice?” Eddie replied with a fond smile.

“And guess who woke up her sister because she wanted someone to play with?” Chrissy said.

“Also Janice.” He sighed and turned to Steve. “You want to meet my little monsters?”

Steve smiled and stood up. “That was the one thing I was going to suggest we do before you hire me, is meet the girls. But having met their dad, I can already tell they’re going to be a handful.”

“Hey!” Eddie protested. But Chrissy laughed.

“Come on,” he said grumpily, “let’s go see the munchkins.”

Chrissy opened the door all of the way and Eddie and Steve followed her out. They reached the kitchen and there seating at a table were two of the cutest kids Steve had ever worked for. They both had light, curly brown hair and deep brown eyes, but that was where their similarities ended.

The one of the right had her hair pulled back in a messy ponytail with a denim overalls over a pink shirt. The overalls had a cute pink kangaroo on the pocket on the front. The girl on the left had her hair carefully braided and wore light blue shirt and a black pleated skirt. They were both munching on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

“Meet Janice and Joan,” Eddie said brightly. “Janice is the one on the right and the other is Joan. Janice is the oldest by seven minutes and she never lets Joan forget it.”

Joan stuck her tongue out at her dad around her sandwich and then went back to munching on it. Janice looked over at Steve and cocked her head to the side.

“Who’s that, Daddy?” she asked. And suddenly Steve was struck by how much the little girl acted like her dad.

“Girls,” Eddie said sternly, “do you remember when I said that Daddy was going to be gone for three months and you were going to be looked after by a new friend?”

Joan scrunched her nose and Steve was endeared. “Is he like one of those nannies that were so mean to us?”

“No, of course not, Joanie,” Eddie said, “not a nanny...” He looked to Steve for help.

“I’m what’s called an au pair,” he said brightly. “I’m here to watch over you and do a little of the cooking and cleaning, too. A nanny wouldn’t do that right?”

Joan and Janice shared a glance. And Steve was struck for the first time that they were really were twins. They acted so differently that he had already put them in separate boxes. But they moved in unison as they both shrugged.

“I guess not,” Janice huffed. “Are you going to be fun like Chrissy or strict like Daddy?”

The adults laughed as Steve walked over to the table. “My hope is to be somewhere in the middle. But I guess we’ll just have to see.”

He turned to Eddie and Chrissy. “If it’s all right, I’d like to get started now, give the girls time to get use to my presence while you’re still here, Eddie. That way we can smooth out any real problems before you go.”

Chrissy and Eddie shared a glance.

“Yeah,” Eddie said, “that’ll be fine. Great even. I’ll give you a couple of hours to get your things and come back here. Would you be okay making us dinner?”

Steve beamed at him. “Sure, give me an idea of what you guys like and I’ll find something to make you. Let’s consider it part of the interview.”

Eddie smiled back. “Well I think you have yourself a deal.”

Steve and Eddie shook hands.

This was either going to the best decision of Eddie’s life or his worst. Currently the jury and his brain were still out on that one.

Langue D’agneau en Papillote

Hannibal Season 1 Episode 6

*the lamb tongues in the show weren’t actually lamb tongues by the way they were kibbeh, formed to look like small tongues

[mostlysignssomeportents]

The FTC has Big Pharma’s number

On November 27, I'm appearing at the Toronto Metro Reference Library with Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen.

On November 29, I'm at NYC's Strand Books with my novel The Lost Cause, a solarpunk tale of hope and danger that Rebecca Solnit called "completely delightful."

The most consistent bright spot in the dark swirl of US politics is the competence of the Biden Administration's progressive enforcers: people like Rohit Chopra, Jonathan Kanter and Lina Khan, who keep demonstrating just how far a good administrator can go. Anyone can have a vision, but knowing how to execute is the difference between hot air and real change:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/10/23/getting-stuff-done/#praxis

Take a minute to contrast Biden's administrators with Trump's: Trump's administrators had an ideological vision just as surely as Biden's do, and Trump himself had a much more pronounced and explicit ideology than Biden, whose governance style is much more about balancing the Democratic Party's blocs than bringing about a specific set of policies:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/03/06/personnel-are-policy/#janice-eberly

But whatever clarity of vision the Trump administration brought to DC was completely undermined by its incompetence (thankfully!). Apart from one gigantic tax break, Trump couldn't get stuff done. He couldn't deliver, because he'd lose his temper or speak out of turn:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/11/14/when-youve-lost-the-fedsoc/#anti-buster-buster

And his administrators followed his lead. Scott Pruitt was appointed to run the EPA after a career spent suing the agency. It could have been the realization of his life's dream to dismantle environmental law in America and open the floodgates for unlimited, wildly profitable corporate pollution and pillaging. But the dream died because he kept getting embroiled in absurd scandals – like the time he sent his staffers out to drive around all night looking for a good deal on a used mattress:

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/epa-s-pruitt-told-aide-obtain-old-mattress-trump-hotel-n879836

Or his insistence on installing a CIA-style "Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility" (SCIF) so he could play super-spy while reading memos:

Or the time he sent his security detail to the Ritz-Carlton to demand that they supply him lots of little bottles of his favorite hand-cream:

There were other examples in the Trump administration, but Priutt is such a good case-study. He's like a guy who spent his whole life training to compete in the Olympics, and finally got a shot, only to be disqualified for ordering too much room-service in the Olympic Village. Priutt was wildly ambitious, but he was profoundly undisciplined – and wildly incompetent.

Compare that with Biden's progressive enforcers and agency heads, who showed up on the first day of work with an encyclopedic knowledge of their administrative powers, and detailed plans for using them to transform the lives of the American people for the better:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/10/18/administrative-competence/#i-know-stuff

The Biden administration's competence translates into action, getting stuff done. Maybe that shouldn't surprise us, given the difference between the stories that reactionaries and progressives tell about where change comes from.

In reactionary science fiction, we enter the realm of the "Competent Man" story. Think of a Heinlein hero, who is "able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyse a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly."

In Competent Man stories, a unitary hero steps into the breach and solves the problem – if not single-handedly, then as the leader of others, whose lesser competence is a base metal that the Competent Man hammers into a tempered blade:

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Creator/RobertAHeinlein

Contrast this with a progressive tale, like, say, Kim Stanley Robinson's Ministry For the Future, where the Competent Man is replaced by the Competent Administration, in which people of goodwill and technical competence figure out how to join forces to create population-scale architectures of participation that allow every person to contribute their skills and perspective:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/12/03/ministry-for-the-future/#ksr

The right's whole ideology insists that the world can only be saved by Competent Men. As Corey Robin writes in The Reactionary Mind, the unifying factor that binds together conservative factions from monarchists to racists to Christian Dominionists is the belief that a few of us are born to rule, and the rest to be ruled over:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/05/25/mafia-logic/#mafia-logic

The Reaganite insistence that governments are, by their very nature, incompetent and malign ("The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I’m from the government, and I’m here to help'"), means that conservatives deny the possibility of a Competent Administration.

When conservatives take office and proceed to bungle the most basic elements of administration, they're fulfilling their own campaign narrative, which starts with "We must dismantle the government because it is bad at everything." Conservatives who govern badly prove their own point, which explains a lot about the UK Tory Party's long run of governmental failure and electoral success:

https://apnews.com/article/uk-suella-braverman-fired-cabinet-shuffle-7ea6c89306a427cc70fba75bc386be79

There's a small mercy in the fact that so many of the most ideologically odious and extreme conservative governments are so technically incompetent in governing, and thus accomplish so little of their agendas.

But the inverse – the incredible competence of the best progressive administrators – is nothing short of a delight to witness. Here's the latest example to cross my path: the FTC has intervened in a lawsuit over generic insulin pricing, on an issue that is incredibly technically specific and also fantastically important:

https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/ftc-blasts-pharmas-abuse-fda-patent-system-sanofi-mylans-insulin-monopoly-lawsuit

The underlying case is before the FDA, and it concerns the dirty tricks that pharma giant Sanofi used to keep Mylan from making a generic version of Mylan's Lantus insulin after its patent expired.

There's an explicit bargain in patents: inventors can enlist the government to punish their rivals for copying their ideas, but in exchange, the government demands that the inventor has to describe how the invention works in a detailed patent filing, and when the patent expires, 20 years later, rivals can use the patent application as instructions for freely copying and selling the invention. In other words: you get 20 years of exclusive rights in return for facilitating your competitors' copying and selling your invention when the 20 years are up.

Pharma doesn't like this, naturally: not content with 20 years of exclusivity, they want the government to step in and punish their competitors forever. In service to that end, pharma companies have perfected a process called evergreening, where they dribble out ancillary patents after their initial filing, covering minor reformulations, delivery systems, or new uses.

Evergreening got a moment in the public eye earlier this year, with John Green's viral campaign to shame Johnson & Johnson out of using evergreening to restrict poor countries' access to TB medication:

https://armandalegshow.com/episode/john-green-part-1/

The story of pharma is that it commands gigantic profits, but it invests those profits into medicines that save our lives. The reality is that most of the key underlying pharma research is publicly funded (by Competent Administrators who apportion funding to promising scientific inquiry). Pharma companies' most inventive genius is devoted to inventing new evergreening tactics:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/10/19/solid-tumors/#t-cell-receptors

That's where the FTC comes in, in this Sanofi-Mylan case. To facilitate the production of generic, off-patent drugs, the FDA maintains a database called the "Orange Book," where pharma companies are asked to enumerate all the ancillary patents associated with a product whose patent is expiring. That way, generics manufacturers who make their own version of these public domain drugs and therapeutics don't accidentally stumble over one of those later patents – say, by replicating a delivery system or special coating that is still in patent.

This is where the endless, satanic inventiveness of the pharma sector comes in. You see, US law provides for triple damages for "willful patent infringement." If you are a generics manufacturer eyeing up a drug whose patent is about to expire and you are notified that some other patents might be implicated in your plans, you must ensure that you don't accidentally infringe one of those patents, or face business-destroying statutory damages.

So pharma companies stuff the Orange Book full of irrelevant patent claims they say may be implicated in a generic manufacture program. Each of these claims has to be carefully evaluated, both by a scientific team and a legal team, because patents are deliberately obfuscated in the hopes of tricking an inattentive patent examiner into granting patents for unpatentable "inventions":

https://blueironip.com/patents-that-hide-the-ball/

What's more, when a pharma giant notifies the FDA that it has ancillary patents that are relevant to the Orange Book, this triggers a 30-month delay before a generic can be marketed – adding 2.5 years to the 20 year patent term. That delay is sometimes enough to cause a manufacturer to abandon plans to market a generic drug – so the delay isn't 2.5 years, it's infinite.

This is a highly technical, highly consequential form of evergreening. It's obscure as hell, and requires a deep understanding of patent obfuscation, ancillary patent filings, generic pharma industry practice, and the FDA's administrative procedures.

Sanofi's Orange Book entry for Lantus insulin listed 50 related patent claims. Of these, 48 were invalidated through "inter partes" review (basically the Patent Office decided they shouldn't have allowed these claims to be included on a patent). Neither of the remaining two claims were found to be relevant to the manufacture of generic Lantus.

This is where the FTC's filing comes in: their amicus brief doesn't take a position whether Sanofi's Orange Book entries were fraudulent, but they do ask the FDA to intervene to prevent Orange Book stuffing because "improper listings can cause significant harm to competition and consumers."

This is the kind of boring, technical, important stuff that excellent administrators can do. The FTC's brief is notice to the FDA that it should amend its procedures to ban (and punish) Orange Book abuse. That will make it possible for you, a person who needs medicine, to get that medicine more cheaply and quickly. In America's pay-for-use privatized healthcare hellscape, this could be a life-or-death matter.

There's plenty of things the Biden administration is getting very, very badly wrong, but we shouldn't lose sight of how its progressive wing is making real, lasting change for the better. Competent Administrations are the true peoples' champions. They beat Competent Men every time.

Obesity: The Science, Culture, and Politics of Fatness in America 

In Fall 2023, students enrolled in Dr. Margot Finn's course on the science, culture, and politics of obesity worked in groups to research and write captions for food history materials.

Most of these items were from the Special Collections Research Center's Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive.

These were featured on the Shapiro Library Screens in Bert's Study Lounge.

M. L. Holbrook, Eating for Strength (New York, M. L. Holbrook & co. [c1888]). Library of Congress. 

The 1888 edition of Eating for Strength, a popular 19th century work on diet written by Martin Luther Holbrook approaches food in a scientific manner, outlining the dietary needs of various classes of people and looking at the healthfulness of various foods. This book includes information about food and diet in relation to health and work, together with several hundred recipes for different foods and drinks. All of these tables illustrate the protein, carbohydrate, and fat content of some of the most common foods that characterized the diets of that era. This underscores how even over 100 years ago, these three macronutrients were seen as important to monitor in order to curb obesity.

Keeping Your Weight Down (Westfield, N.Y. : Welch Grape Juice Co., [1921?]). Janie Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive.

Published by Welch Juice Company in 1921, this recipe book called Keeping Your Weight Down suggests that Welch's Grape Juice can aid in weight maintenance, and emphasizes its importance in influencing desired health benefits with their beverage. The monochrome-purple book cover showcases an idealized “thin” model covered in loose night clothing, examining a weight scale. Inside, “Pudding and Desserts” recipes are listed in sections with the usage of Welch brand ingredients. Framing grapes as dessert, often eliminated in dieting practices, allows for the luxury of sweets within the strictures of losing weight.

Ruth West, Stop Dieting! Start Losing! (New York : E.P. Dutton & Company, Inc., 1956.). Janice Bluestein Longone Culinary Archive. 

Although Ruth West’s Stop Dieting! Start Losing! was a dieting recipe book published in 1956, the artifact has a startling resemblance to modern attitudes about weight, despite the huge body of research conducted on obesity since this time. Today, It’s easy to laugh at slogans like “how to lose 2 to 3 pounds a week” and “16 foods for sex appeal and vitality,” but how different are these claims from those we hear today from diet magazines, social media and even our own medical professionals? Is the rigor of evidence from then to now all that different?

The Cursed Warlords - Chapter #One – Into the Unknown

A bad day at work? All you want is sleep… not whatever this is!

You let out a sigh as the last customer left for the day. The door clicked shut and you made your way to pack up. You still needed to get home, cook dinner and help clean that up before you would be able to go to sleep. You tried to surpass a groan as you thought about all the things you still needed to do during the day.

“You look exhausted,” You heard Janet, your co-worker say causing you to turn and look at the short, curly, red-head. She was a sweet woman who always offered to help you whenever you wanted or needed it.

“Yeah. I still have a lot to do today though. Yay adulthood,” You gave a sarcastic whoop causing her to laugh. She knew all too well how ‘fun’ adulthood was.

Your co-worker looked at you with sympathy as she clearly understood your exhausted nature of the day. Working for 8 to 10 hours a day sucked, it was tiring and then going home and helping with your siblings didn’t help. That was a lie it did help some, you loved your younger sister and brother but taking care of them took so much energy. So the little to no sleep because you were able to get was an absolute blessing truly.

Letting out a low groan you leaned over the cash register for just a moment before standing up straight and stretching your arms. You couldn’t let your boss see you ‘napping’ on the job even if you were so close to the end of the day.

You looked at Janet with a smile, she didn’t need to be stuck with negativity all the time, “Let’s get this show rolling!”

At your new chipper mood Janet just laughed before she went about the last duties that she needed to finish for the day. You also finished cleaning whatever if was you needed to clean before practically running out the door. The fresh air was such a nice contrast from the headache of work.

“You look like you’re in a rush,” You heard Janice call causing you to hold back a groan, Janice was your team leader of sorts and she loved to hold you and Janet back from getting home on time.

You forced a smile before turning around, “Of course, I need to go help with my siblings after all. You know that.”

Janice’s smirk remained as she looked around for anyone before approaching you, for a second you thought about just bolting but you knew that wouldn’t do anything but cause more headaches. She was about to open her mouth when Janet came out of the building locking it and handing the key over to Janice with a big grin spread across her face. You had to hold back your laugh at the look of pure shock that spread across her face.

“We’re locked up and ready to go boss!” Janet said almost smugly.

Janice seethed angrily, “I was supposed to double check your work!”

You rolled your eyes when she turned to look at Janet. Your team lead was NOT one to actually check things over. She would look around and not pay attention to any of the important things she’s supposed to do.

“Don’t worry everything is taken care of,” Janet said in a sweetly tone.

Janice was clearly about to yell again when Janet turned her attention towards you with a joyful grin. “You get on your way, I know how impatient your younger sister is.”

Janice of course did NOT take this well and shouted immediately afterward. You wanted to groan, she never liked to make this easy for you whenever it was time to leave for the day. Normally you’re able to get passed her before she can catch you, today it just seemed like an unlucky day.

“It is not time to go home-,” Janet cut her off with a sweet smile and calm voice.

“She is off the clock which means that yes it is time for her to leave, unless you want the manager to hear about this,” That made Janice shut up immediately and Janet said it all with an oh so sweet smile across her face.

You really wanted to get back to your family and make sure that your younger siblings had been well behaved like they were supposed to. “As much as I would love to hang around I really need to get back to my family. Mom needs my help with the kids.” You’re words were sarcastic at first but the need to help your family was true.

“Pfft! Seriously? You think YOU have it rough? I still live with my parents and they force me to have a job and pay them rent! Like seriously they have their own money, why can’t they just cover me?” Janice sneered with her words and both you and Janet deadpanned.

“I have never heard such a stupid sentence in my life,” Janet slapped her forehead as she spoke causing Janice to gasp in anger.

“HOW DARE-,” You heard her yell as Janet pulled you away without another word, completely undisturbed by the yelling woman.

You two didn’t talk for long before Janet made her way to leave for her own home. You almost wished that she lived in the same direction as you instead of the opposite. She was much better company than silence was on the long walk you had to trek. Your car broke down a week ago and you didn’t have the funds to fix it, it would take a few more weeks before you could bring it to the repair shop. Letting out a sigh you grumpily thought about the fact that you would have to walk to work every day for a few more weeks.

For a moment you thought you could hear a bell chiming through the air.

You barely closed your eyes for a moment, and everything around you suddenly went silent. There was no sound of the barking dogs, the cars that passed by on the road, no sound of the ever moving wind. Confusion filled you as you opened your eyes, fear immediately flooding your system as you snapped your head around.

“WHAT THE HELL!?” You shouted in shock.

Around you was a vast hallway of sorts, black in color with doorways scattered on each side. Within each was a dark orange and black spiral that continually swirled around. You could practically feel strange energies that bounced out of each, dangerous auras emerging from others. Everything looked so big around you.

Your foot moved back and you felt it nearly fall. Twisting around your eyes widened when you realized you were standing in front of one of the doorways. However it was shifting, changing, the swirls turning from one direction into another.

You were dreaming, this wasn’t real. You were just on the sidewalk. You weren’t in whatever this place was. You didn’t even realize that you were almost hyperventilating when a voice echoed through the corridor.

A young man dressed in long black robes that covered most of his body came running over to you. He seemed almost frantic.

“FUCK! Gosh are you okay ma’am!? I am so sorry, I didn’t mean to-,” His words cut off as you whirled around accidentally decking him across the face as you did.

His head snapped to the side. You were about to say something when he turned back to look at you. Vibrant orange eyes looked back at you and you couldn’t help but yelp in shock and take a step back.

“NO!”

Orange and black invaded your vision as you fell backwards. The sound of a bell rang around you. A shout left your lips as you tripped over your own two feet barely feeling the solid ground below you. Turning you gasped at the sight of an old woman staring at you in shock, with vibrant blue eyes, long dark brown hair and… a tail!?

“Cha-,” Her words were cut off by the sound of a bell.

The bell chimed through the air around you, echoing in your ears.

You didn’t have time to think about it as you stumbled back again and fell onto the ground. Groaning you opened your eyes for a mere second, then a scream left your lips as you came face to face with what appeared to be a humanoid spider. Dark purple skin covered her… was it a her- body. Her poisonous green eyes pierced through you in disgust, while you could only stare at her large arachnid legs. Eight long black legs that connected the her bottom half.

“What the hell-,” She began when everything faded once again with the chime of another bell, that rang through your ears like a siren.

You fell backwards again and fell straight into a river, water soaking though your clothes as you choked up water near the shore. Your head was spinning, what the hell was going on, you didn’t know what to do or what to say. You could barely look around when you found yourself staring face to face with a small child, one that had a long scaly green tail, dark green eyes and pitch black hair. The young ‘boy’ looked at you in shock.

“NO!” A voice rang behind you as you fell once again, you didn’t know why- was that the man from the hall!?

You fell onto your butt and quickly stood up looking back and forth before finding yourself staring at a tall woman with fox-like features. Short blond hair, with six fox-like tails swishing behind her. Her eyes widened before looking at the deer like man beside her.

“Who are you?” Her voice was filled with shock as she spoke but you weren’t given time to answer before the chime of a bell once again rang through the air.

Everything vanished in a whirl of orange and black, and you fell once again flat on your face. A low groan left your lips as you looked up, your mouth immediately closing as you sat up to your knees at least. Your head was pounding, and spinning as pain and confusion whirled through it constantly at what you had just witnessed.

The land around you was a beautiful vast forest, with large trees towering above you. Rubbing your head you attempted to make out what was going on in front of you as your vision flickered between blurry and black. You forced yourself to look straight and saw a barely burning fire in the middle of a small encampment of what looked like people. But- after everything could it be- you shook your head trying to rid yourself of the thoughts.

“What the hell?” A small, whispered voice muttered causing you to whip your head to see a young- monkey?

Your eyes widened at the sight of a young girl or monkey with pitch black fur covering her arms, legs and part of her neck. She had grayish white eyes that were wide with shock, surrounding them was a light blue butterfly marking across her face. A long tail wrapped around her leg. She leaned forward and rested her hand on the cage bar.

… Cage bar?

You looked around her, surrounding her was a small metal cage. With dried red blood on the floor of it, and your eyes widened in horror. Your chest tightened at the sight before you unable to understand exactly what you were looking at. This was impossible- no it was possible but… you couldn’t believe you were seeing this.

The door on the front of the cage was held closed with a thick metal chain and a simple looking lock. Trafficking? Rage boiled in your chest at the thought of it. Anger burning behind your eyes as you set a hand close to hers on the bars. They were ice cold to the touch.

“Who- who are you?” You asked trying to hold back your anger, your rage.

“Chu Spirit… you need to get out of here. They could wake up at any moment,” She jerked her head to the side to show you the three large, sleeping men who were clearly the ones who hurt this small girl.

She was barely three feet tall, and seemed rather young. She was covered in injuries like scratches and scars across her arms and legs, the only places you could see. There was no telling how else this girl could have been hurt. There was no telling what these men did to her before you got here.

Your hands clenched around the bar as rage bubbled through your chest, your breathing quickened with each thought that came through your head. A small hand gently settled against yours as she spoke. Her eyes narrowed at you as she spoke.

“You NEED to leave. If they wake up then they are sure to capture you as well, don’t worry about me. Worry about yourself,” Her voice was slightly snappy as she spoke, attempting to get you to leave before the men woke up.

You found yourself clenching the bar tighter as anger crossed over your face. There was no way that she was actually telling you to leave her alone with these men. Her eyes watched you carefully before she grabbed your hand and pried it from the bar pushing you away.

“Go, you’ll put yourself in danger if you stay-,” You cut her off with harsher words than you would have liked.

“No. No one deserves to be treated like this, you’re hurt and need to be helped. I can’t just leave you here like this when I can clearly help you,” You snapped, quietly but still harsher than you would have liked.

Her eyes widened in shock before a glare passed over her own face, she couldn’t believe what you just said to her, there was no way that you seriously just said that. Just as she was about to open her mouth she heard one of the men groan in his sleep, causing her to look over at him. Grinding her teeth together she wasn’t able to do anything but sit here.

“I’m not leaving until I know that you are safe. Which means you are going to have to deal with me helping you,” You said as quietly as possible.

No one deserved something like this. There was absolutely no one that deserved to be caged and hurt like this. You could feel your blood boil even more at the mere thought of it. Not only that she wasn’t even trying to get you to help her, no she was trying to get you to leave, to save yourself. Gritting your teeth together you looked at the lock. You didn’t have a key, but this was one of the simplest locks you had ever seen.

Standing up you walked over to the lock, picking up a stone into your hand. Clenching it tightly until your hand turned red as you inspected the lock. Yeah, this would work.

“What are you- no you’re going to make too much noise,” Spirit hissed angrily at the thought of you doing this.

>>>

“Shit. Shit. Shit,” His voice was quiet but his panic was very real as he looked around for you, he knew he shouldn’t have done this!

The man from the hallway, the reason that you were here was frantically looking around for you. He had pulled you away from the dragon child but now he couldn’t find you at all. He was cursing himself under his breath as he flew around attempting to find you. He knew you hadn’t left the world, he would have sensed that.

But now- now he was stuck trying to look for you! Your chaotic energy was so small, it was near impossible to track. He couldn’t find even the smallest hint of it. Not with portals popping up everywhere and he couldn’t pinpoint where they were in his panic. Shit! He really fucked up this time!

Solar Opposites in: Ultra Opposites: “Lost Memories” (for @avaveevo)

One fine day, in a courtroom…

Custody Judge: What is your hearing of this?

Sonya: My new dads’ actions have been positive ma’am. They know my allergies, know what kind of classes I take, the schedules I usually have and my favorite things

Custody Judge: Very well.

Once the Custody Judge slams her gavel, Sonya arrives back home after the taxi ride and in joy runs inside where her family is waiting for.

Korvo: So…

Terry: How did it go?

Sonya cries with happiness.

Sonya: I’m officially an Solar-Opposites

The others gasp. The Pupa faints.

Korvo: Oh joy! This is a great occasion! Solars, we have a new addition to the family!

AISHA: Alright! I wonder where Nova is… were you about to meet her?

Korvo: Oh why yes. I wonder where she is…

Meanwhile with Nova, at her apartment she was waiting for Sherbet, who just came in.

Sherbet: Hey Nova. I heard you wanted to see me. Is everything okay?

Nova: Sherbet… I know about what happened to your parents… Sherbet gets stunned in silence and I am so sorry… that you have lost everything…

Sherbet starts crying.

Nova: soothes Sherbet’s face But don’t worry. You’re not gonna be alone anymore… because… I’m gonna take care of you.

Sherbet is confused.

Sherbet: What do you mean?

Nova smiles.

Nova: Sherbet, I’m gonna adopt you. You were one of the kindest people I ever met.

Sherbet is surprised.

Nova: Now is time for to return the favor.

Sherbet: But… I thought you gave up on that when Halk died…

Nova wipes away a tear.

Nova: I know. But you deserve a family Sherbet, and I love to start one right now, with you. As my daughter. You are not gonna be alone anymore Sherbet, because I love you.

Sherbet smiles and hugs Nova.

Sherbet: Thank you Nova…

Nova cries with happiness. Later back at the Solars… in the Replicants’ room, Yumyulack was cleaning up, while listening to Jesse McCartney’s “Because You Live”:

Yumyulack: God damn it! Now I gotta deal with the fact that I am now living with two sisters. No wait! Three since it counts Pupa’s human form is a girl!

EVA: What are you complaining about?

AISHA: Yeah. You already know Sonya. She is the sweetest person we ever met. So did you and you like her. So come on, turn that frown upside down honey.

Yumyulack groans in frustration.

Yumyulack: What about Korvo? He hasn’t seen his sister in years!

EVA: I know. And he was heartbroken and so was she. These two love each other no matter what and cheer up Yumyulack. You known Sonya since you got her and become your friend. Chin up

Yumyulack blushes and smiles.

Yumyulack: I guess that’s true.

Sonya then comes in with Jesse while putting her stuff on her new bed.

Sonya: Thanks for lending me your room guys.

Jesse: Anytime, sis.

Yumyulack: Yeah. Good to have ya here, sis. Sorry for venting a little, it’s just you know…

Sonya: Yeah. I know

Sonya hugs Yumyulack. Yumyulack blushes as he smiles and pats Sonya’s head.

Jesse: Welcome to your new home Sonya and besides what’s the worse that can-

Suddenly, the Ultra Opposites alarm goes off.

Yumyulack/Psylock: Oh shit!

AISHA: EMERGENCY MEETING, PEOPLE!

Korvo and Terry: On it!

Yumyulack and Jesse: On it!

Sonya: What’s-

Korvo: Sonya! Stay with Aisha and Eva! We’ll be right back!

Sonya sighs and smiles.

Sonya: One day… I’m gonna get my chance!

Terry kisses Sonya on the forehead. Later at the HQ, all the Ultra Opposites meet up.

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Okay, we’re all here! What’s the emergency?!

AISHA: You guys are not gonna like it but…

EVA shows something on the screen.

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: No way….

Terry/Solar Flare: Dr. Brian?!

Yumyulack/Psylock: What is he upto?!

AISHA: He made a memory eraser device!

Ultra Opposites: What?! Oh no! Oh fuck! We gotta be careful! That self-centered jerkface!

Legendary Super Shlorpian growls.

EVA: If he hits anyone, someone could get hurt. They can even lose his memory.

Janiz/Lady Super Shlorpian: Oh no… does he know about Sonya?

EVA: Who knows?!

Terry/Solar Flare: Aw man, Korvo! He can’t know about Sonya! He could use something bad to her!

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: I’ll stop him.

Cherie/Agent Red: So will we our friend!

Montez/The Master: Hey, where’s Nova?

Solar Flare shrugs. Then, Lady Roseus and Violet came with Violet holding Lady Roseus like a mother and daughter would do.

Montez/The Master: You came!

Cherie/Agent Red: What happened?

Pezlie/La Oscuridad: Violet!

Nova/Lady Roseus: I have some exciting news!

Sherbet/Violet: I have a family now!

Jesse/Electra: Oooh! Really?!

Yumyulack/Psylock: Who?

Sonya gasp as tears run down her eyes.

Terry/Solar Flare: gasp Oh no! My Korvy!

Jesse/Electra: Is Korvo…

Yumyulack/Psylock: …Gone?

Solar Flare starts sobbing as he hugs Legendary Super Shlorpian.

Cherie/Agent Red: No… he can’t be..

The rest of the Ultra Opposites looks down for a moment of silence. At sunset, Sonya was looking down sadly at a photo of her and her new family on the day of her adoption while Psylock and Electra comes up to her.

Yumyulack/Psylock: Sonya?

Jesse/Electra: You okay sis?

Sonya: I can’t believe I got Korvo to lose his memories… and it’s all my fault.

Yumyulack/Psylock: It wasn’t your fault. We should’ve been there for you on time.

Jesse/Electra: Besides, this couldn’t happen to any one of us.

Sonya: But it didn’t. It happen to Korvo…

Sonya then sighs sadly.

Yumyulack/Psylock: What’s wrong?

Sonya: When I was a little girl, I was always the smallest kid in every school I go to growing up. I felt like I was the runt of the litter. You know what that means?

Jesse/Electra: Like the smallest one?

Sonya: The smallest and the weakest.

As Sonya looks down, her flashback plays, it shows a montage of her as a little girl in kindergarten as she runs up to her classmates when it was snack time. Song for this flashback:

Sonya: voiceover It’s not easy being the smallest. You learn pretty early on that everything’s gonna be harder for you.

Young Sonya however missed her chance when all the snacks are gone, only a juice box as she sadly takes it. She then tries to make friends, but they ignore.

Sonya: voiceover When you’re the smallest, you’re always left out and sometimes you’re never feel like like yourself.

Sonya’s parents then pick her up. Then, it flash forwards to her on her first day at high school when she saw Jesse and Yumyulack.

Sonya: voiceover Then you guys came and I had no idea if you’d be perfect enough. But, you stood up for me and made feel like I belong when you saved me.

Sonya then looks at the kids making fun of Jesse and Yumyulack and starts to feel sorry for them. Then, it shows the sad flashback of her seeing parents getting deported back to their home country as she gasp sadly and watch as they drive off by the deportation officers as she starts crying.

Sonya: voiceover That’s when I started to lose hope, until you guys adopted me and took me in..l finally had a new family…

The flashback ends as Sonya looks down sadly while Psylock and Electra hugs her.

Sonya: Korvo shouldn’t have been in this mess if it weren’t for me. I’m not even a superhero. And if I was, I feel like I wouldn’t be with the Ultra Opposites.

Jesse/Electra: We had no idea. But that’s not true. We want you.

Yumyulack/Psylock: You’re our sister. You already are strong enough….

Sonya smiles but then looks down with determination as she grasp her hands in courage.

Sonya: When Korvo and Terry adopted me, I felt like I wasn’t the smallest and the weakest.

Sonya then looks up at the sky in determination as she knew what she must do now.

Sonya: And I do anything to get my dad’s memories back!

The night, Sonya looks at her siblings sleeping.

Sonya: whispering I’ll be back soon guys…

Sonya flies out the window. Later, Dr. Brian is activating some kind of other ray towards the night sky.

Dr. Brain: Soon enough, everyone’s memories will be erased and Earth will be MINE!

Sonya: Not so fast!

Dr. Brian then aims his new ray at the meteors at the sky.

Dr. Brain: You again?!

Sonya: What are you doing with those meteors?!

Dr. Brain: I’m using them to destroy the world!

Sonya: What?! You monster! You give me back my dad’s memories right now!

Dr. Brain: Make me!

Dr. Brian uses a force field that traps Sonya and throws her to a strength-proof cage as she growls. Back at the Solars’ house…

Jesse: TERRY! TERRY!

Terry is busy showing Korvo the photo album to help him remember and then sees the worried looks on Yumyulack and Jesse’s faces.

Terry: Hopefully this works.

Yumyulack: Terry! Sonya’s gone!

Terry: WHAT?!

Later, the rest of the Ultra Opposites meet up and Terry tries contacting Sonya on the screen for her phone.

Terry: Sonya? Can you hear me? no answer Sonya?! Speak to me!

Sonya: Terry?! I’m trapped! Dr. Brain’s got me!

Cherie: What?!

Sherbet: Oh my God! Hang on!

Montez: We’re coming Sonya?!

Korvo: Sonya? trying to remember I heard of her before…

Terry groans in frustration.

Terry: Hang in there Korvy! We’re gonna get your memories back once and for all!

Jesse: Yeah! Just stay here!

Korvo: Oh um… okay…

Back with Sonya and Dr. Brain…

Sonya: Why are you doing this? How did you know about Korvo?

Dr. Brain: Because he is my son!

Sonya: What?!

Dr. Brain: It’s true! I’ve always hated that pest and his sister! Because, their mother love them more, so I killed her when they were little and left those brats alone to die! But, they somehow survived!

Sonya struggles to comprehend the situation.

Sonya: Y-you’re not their father…. You’re a murder!

Dr. Brain slaps Sonya. Sonya gasp as tears fall down. Then, she heard a roar. It’s Mundane Solar Flare!

Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: STAY AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER, YOU FUCKER!

Dr. Brain gasps and growls. The rest of the Ultra Opposites arrive and gets into a heroic team stance.

Cherie/Agent Red: STOP TRYING TO KILL MY MAN!

Dr. Brain: Ooh, I’m so scared.

Agent Red uses her powerful ninja kick while La Oscuridad uses her painful tears to burn Dr. Brian as he screams.

Dr. Brain: ENOUGH!

Dr. Brain made a powerful blast that knocked everyone over until…
