Cartoons made by good people (yes, even Nickelodeon)

I'm going to tell you the name and shows of some GOOD cartoon creators first, then I'll tell you the BAD

SpongeBob Squarepants (made by Stephen Hillenburg, who refused to put SpongeBob in school, even though Nickelodeon pressured him, so he put SpongeBob in boating school. They also called out Dirty Dan in an episode of SpongeBob)

Marvin The Tap-Dancing Horse (made by Betty and Michael Paraskevas, mother and son do who worked on the books too)

Maggie and the Ferocious Beast (also made by Betty and Michael Paraskevas)

Wallace & Gromit/Shaun the Sheep (made by Bob Baker, Nick Park, and the Shaun the sheep show was made Richard Starzack)

Camp Lazlo (made by Joe Murray, who made Rocko's modern life but he made Camp Lazlo and Lets Go Luna way more family friendly)

Fifi and The Flowertots (made by Keith Chapman, who also made Bob the Builder but this show's 1000 times better than Bob the builder)

CatDog (made by Peter Hannan who I'm assuming is a good guy, I think they called out Dirty Dan in an episode but it was more subtle)

Rugrats (made by Arlene Klasky and Gabor Csupso. I think they also called out Dirty Dan in Rugrats and originally they wanted to make Angelica a nice character instead of bad)

The Backyardigans (made by Janice Burgess, who I don't know much about, but I feel bad she recently died and they made a reboot that looks hideous, just a month after she died)

Curious George (The guy who wrote the books had to escape war, Curious George books have been around for a long time. The stories were also ahead of their time)

So those were all the GOOD people

So with all the news of cartoon creators ending up being secretly monsters behind the scenes, and it's mostly Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network. These are the BAD people! Dirty Dan Schnieder didn't make cartoons, but he made a lot of sitcoms. There were other p*dophiles at Nickelodeon besides him, and I'll name them. John Kricfalusi, who made Ren & Stimpy, is also a horrible perverted freak who did what Dan did. There was a guy from Cartoon Network (Kyle Corrozza I beleive is his name) who got arrested for having CP on his computer, but he didn't touch anyone from what I heard. Dirty Dan and John K are the worsts! Butch Hartman is also a weirdo too, but I just know him as being ableist and a womanizer. I don't think he did anything dirty to children, although I have seen some suspicious things in Fairy odd parents. We all know who this b**** Vivziepop is, right? That chick who created Hazbin Hotel and bodyshamed an animator, treated her animators poorly, made fun of religion, and romanticized a r*pe scene!

BLACKADDER II Crescent Theatre, Birmingham, Wednesday 25th June, 2021 My heart sinks a little when I hear theatre companies are tackling this kind of thing, more so when it’s a well-beloved series like Blackadder II – Will the production be no more than a patchy impression of the show, where the cast, no matter how good they may be, cannot possibly hope to emulate the iconic performances of the…

[[ Biography ]]

Rose is introduced in the eponymous premiere episode of the 2005 series. There, she is saved from an Auton attack by the mysterious alien Time Lord known as the Doctor (Christopher Eccleston), and assists him in preventing an invasion of Earth.[1] Subsequently, the Doctor invites Rose to be his travelling companion, taking her to the end of the world and giving her a "superphone" so she can remain in contact with her mother Jackie (Camille Coduri), and boyfriend Mickey (Noel Clarke).

In their travels through time and space, Rose learns the importance of not tampering with history, when she attempts to save the life of her father Pete Tyler (Shaun Dingwall), who had died when she was a baby. Throughout these journeys, she and the Doctor are haunted by two mysterious recurring words: 'Bad Wolf'. Rose, the Doctor, and new companion Captain Jack (John Barrowman) come to understand the meaning of this phrase when they encounter an unstoppable army of evil alien Daleks on the space station Satellite 5. To return to the Doctor after he sends her home to Earth in series finale "The Parting of the Ways", Rose tears open the console of the Doctor's time machine, the TARDIS, and becomes suffused with the power of the time vortex. Returning, she uses her power over the infinity of time and space to spread the words "Bad Wolf" over its entirety, then saving the universe from the Dalek invasion. Rose resurrects Jack, who died from Dalek fire, and destroys the Dalek fleet before the Doctor drains the energy out of her—by kissing her—to save her life from its harmful effects. Rose is horrified as the Doctor appears to die and regenerates into a new man (David Tennant), who proceeds to take the TARDIS and a terrified Rose to Earth, abandoning Jack on Satellite 5. The new Doctor and Rose arrive on Earth on Christmas Day, where he passes out from the strain of regeneration in the midst of a Sycorax invasion in the 2005 Christmas special "The Christmas Invasion". Having woken up and saved Earth, the Doctor enjoys Christmas dinner with Rose before the two once again depart to parts unknown.

Over the second series (2006), Rose and the Doctor grow increasingly close to one another. After defeating a werewolf, they are knighted by Queen Victoria (Pauline Collins), who banishes them as threats to the Empire whilst setting up the Torchwood Institute, which aims to track the Doctor and other aliens. Their relationship proves a source of tension once Mickey joins the pair in their travels, at the suggestion of the Doctor's former companion Sarah Jane Smith (Elisabeth Sladen). Whilst stranded in a parallel universe, Rose meets a rich, entrepreneur version of her father who never died. Mickey decides to stay behind on this world to battle the Cybermen—emotionless cyborgs which seek to convert humans to their ranks—as he no longer wants to feel like a spare part. Alone with the Doctor again, Rose faces the mythical Beast (Gabriel Woolf), who prophesies that Rose will soon die in battle.

This day comes when, in the present day, the Torchwood Institute's director Yvonne Hartman (Tracy-Ann Oberman) accidentally allows the Cybermen army and Dalek Cult of Skaro into Rose's reality, where they begin a war. In sealing the Cybermen and Daleks back into the "void" through which they came, Rose is transported to the parallel universe by Pete, to save her from also being pulled into the void. Rose becomes trapped in the parallel universe with Jackie and the alternate universe Pete as the walls between universes seal; she is later declared dead in her own universe. Months later, the Doctor is able to transmit Rose a goodbye message. She reveals she now works for that universe's Torchwood, and confesses her love for him. Before he can reply, their connection is lost

When the Doctor is reunited with Donna Noble (Catherine Tate) in the show's fourth series (2008), Rose mysteriously begins to appear in the Doctor's life—first seen only by Donna, and later in silent video messages which the Doctor fails to notice. When a "Time Beetle" creates an alternate universe in which Donna never meets the Doctor and the Doctor dies, Rose travels from her parallel world to this world, working alongside the organisation UNIT to send Donna back in time, and make Donna's younger self turn left at a junction and not right. Rose tells Donna to say two words to The Doctor; 'Bad Wolf'.

The Doctor concludes this is a sign that the Universe, and reality itself is under threat. Later, in the midst of Davros' (Julian Bleach) plot to obliterate existence, Rose unites with the Doctor and his companions Donna, Martha, Jack and Sarah Jane to make a stand against him and his army of Daleks. In the midst of the battle, a part-human Doctor is created and destroys the Daleks. The Doctor returns Rose to the parallel universe along with Jackie, and his part-human counterpart. Rose challenges the Doctor to say the words he did not say to her during their previous farewell. The Doctor does not answer, but his part-human counterpart whispers in her ear and Rose kisses him. The Doctor retreats, leaving Rose behind with his part-human counterpart.[19] In the closing scenes of The End of Time (2010), just prior to his regeneration, the Doctor travels to Rose's housing estate in the first minutes of 2005. He speaks to her from the shadows, asking her what year it is. She tells him it is January 1, 2005.

The Doctor promises her that she will have a really great year. Piper returned for the show's 50th anniversary episode "The Day of the Doctor" (2013) as the interface of a sentient weapon of mass destruction known as "the Moment". The War Doctor (John Hurt) intends to end the raging Time War by using the Moment to destroy both the Daleks and the Time Lords. Using Rose's image, chosen for her future significance to the Doctor, the Moment attempts to persuade him to seek an alternative course of action by showing him how the decision will affect his future.Back with real Rose Tyler, she had married the part-human counterpart of The 10th Doctor, he used the name John Smith. The continue their days together and working with Touchwood

[jewish-privilege]

...It’s this baggage that often complicates American Jews’ attempts to reflect on their relative privilege. In the current environment, many Ashkenazi Jews—i.e. those tracing their heritage through the Jews of Central and Eastern Europe—struggle to acknowledge their whiteness and role in broader systems of racism because anti-Semitism from the Left and Right distracts them, clouding their judgment, creating little space for them to exercise the vulnerability necessary for reflection.

Two recent examples illuminate the ways Jews are being squeezed by anti-Semitism from both sides of the political spectrum, complicating efforts at introspection. When Emily Bazelon wrote in The New York Times Magazine in June about the ways whites are finally noticing their whiteness and associated privilege, she was inundated with responses from right-wing Twitter trolls insisting that she was not white, but Jewish. The very same day, leftist activist Shaun King tweeted an article from the Israeli daily, Haaretz, about a Jewish group in Israel protesting an Arab family that had moved into a Jewish neighborhood. Rather than pointing out Jewish racism, he called the protesters “white supremacists” who only wanted “white Jews” in their neighborhood, ignoring the racial diversity within the accompanying picture as well as the Mizrahi (North African and the Middle Eastern Jewish) names of the Jewish organizers. In both of these cases, critics defined Jews for their own purposes.

Right-wing anti-Semites see Jews only as insidious ethnic people whose Ashkenazi members try to assimilate, muddling the purity of the white race. ...For some right-wing Americans, the existence of Israel is not just okay, but good, both because this is where the Jews “belong”—an anti-Semitic version of certain Zionist tropes—and also because Israel’s strident nationalism represents a type of ethnic purity white nationalists would like to see in Europe and the United States. Others are just straight-up Jew-haters who would be happy for Jews to go to the gas chambers.

Besides the obvious problem this brand of anti-Semitism presents for Jews, it also inspires a backlash of Jewish victimhood that undermines any attempt to reckon in a thoughtful and rigorous way with simultaneous Jewish privilege: Jews can’t be racist, the thinking goes, because they aren’t allowed to be white. Any time an Ashkenazi Jew begins to sort through their role in American white supremacy, the flurry of anti-Semitic noise in response causes many Jews to revert to victim mentality—a mentality which makes it very hard to think clearly about the full range of social justice. As the late Rabbi David Hartman wrote in his seminal 1982 essay, “Auschwitz or Sinai,” the person who sees the Holocaust in every anti-Semitic barb begins to think that “We need not take the moral criticism of the world seriously, because the uniqueness of our suffering places us above the moral judgment of an immoral world.”

Meanwhile, on the Left, Jews are seen as a religious minority within the superstructure of European Christian colonialism that has dominated the globe since Columbus. Yes, Jews have faced oppression, this narrative acknowledges, but they are ultimately a European byproduct: They are white people with a little flair—a belief system draped over the same racial material. When King tweeted about the “White Jews” who protested against the sale of a home in Afula (inside the Green line) to Palestinians with Israeli citizenship, he was following in this tradition, and in so doing erasing Jewish peoplehood. This was not Jewish racism against Arabs, in his view: It was white colonialist racism.

Jewish history, in fact, profoundly complicates the idea that all conflicts can be boiled down to modern Western European “white” Christian imperialism. But this trend on the left is increasingly strong. The term supersessionism has traditionally referred to the primacy of the New Testament for Christians, its teachings taking precedence over the Old Covenant between God and the Jews featured in the Old Testament. Recently, Bryan Cheyette, an English professor specializing in textual representations of Jewish identity, suggested that the insistence on a specifically postcolonial lens for evaluating oppression is a new kind of supersessionism: Kicked off by venerable postcolonial studies founder Edward Said, who believed Palestinians were the new Jews, it is now carried forward by progressives such as King, or Women’s March founders Tamika Mallory and Linda Sarsour, the latter of whom recently said Jews who feel unwelcome among today’s progressives “are going to have to come to terms with being uncomfortable,” because the Palestinian cause is too important—akin to South African apartheid. Implicitly, the story of the Palestinians and the story of African Americans are part of the same story of injustice, and the injustice against them has superseded Europe’s Holocaust. Cheyette instead suggested we move away from seeing these histories as exceptional: supersessionism “makes it impossible to find connections in the past and our most urgent present between different forms of dehumanization—Orientalism, anti-Semitism, and Islamophobia—and between shared forms of suffering (not least as refugees) alongside an often-violent agency.”

The 20th century demonstrated the tremendous capacity humans have to disregard and extinguish others’ lives, and the 21st century has yet to break that pattern. It is possible to recognize the persecution and violence, in modern memory, of Jews while recognizing the racism that exists within Jewish communities. It is also possible to recognize the deep and violent history of marginalization, oppression, and enslavement faced by African Americans and other people of color in America; and to see that both Israelis and Palestinians have been traumatized by wars, military occupation, and terrorist campaigns.  The existence of each of these traumas does not delegitimize the others. In her intellectual history of intersectionality, gender studies professor Ange-Marie Hancock Alfaro argued that in making an intersectional shift, one begins to take subaltern communities as seriously as the mainstream. But doing so also means recognizing that “one is neither purely an oppressor nor purely oppressed”—a lesson both Jews and their critics have yet to internalize...

Mit Vorfreude auf Februar 2018

The Toy Makers Spielzeugläden haben mich als Setting schon immer angezogen, vor allem diese traditionellen, in denen die Spielzeuge noch selbst hergestellt werden und nachts natürlich lebendig werden. Ähnlich magisch scheint es in diesem Roman, der 1917 in London spielt, zuzugehen. Die Söhne des Spielzeugmachers sollen sein Geschäft übernehmen und in ihr Leben stolpert plötzlich eine obdachlose, junge Frau.

Folk Noch fantastischer wird es in diesem Debüt, denn hier ist die Rede von einer fernen Insel, auf der “a girl is snatched by a water bull and dragged to its lair, a babe is born with a wing for an arm and children ask their fortunes of an oracle ox”. Düster und magisch, meine liebste Mischung.

Tess of the Road Dies ist ein Spin-Off zu Rachel Hartmans Seraphina-Duo. Er spielt im selben Königreich, begleitet aber neue Figuren. Nämlich Tess, die keine Nonne werden will und stattdessen als Junge verkleidet Reißaus nimmt. Ach und hab ich erwähnt, dass Drachen diese Welt bevölkern?

Första varvet

Ronnie O’Sullivan måste ha blivit provocerad när Thepchaiya Un-Nooh presenterades som tourens snabbaste spelare. Seniorraketen brände av 10-1 på rekordtiden 108 minuter, med genomsnittlig skottid på 13 sekunder.

För den andra uppvisningen stod ingen mindre (och ingen större) än Martin Gould. Efter en tydlig seger mot Dott i kvalet var det dags för nästa skotte, Stephen Maguire. Av deras tidigare fem möten hade Gould vunnit samtliga. Det finns så mycket underliga sammanträffanden i snookerstatistiken, konstaterade Kim Hartman inför matchen och stod fast vid sitt tips att Maguire skulle få sin första världsmästartitel i år.

Gould som efter kvalet sa att han hade behövt månaderna av lock-down för att bli kvitt sina Dämoner, har nu istället Dennis Taylors ande vid sin sida (på sin näsa).

Två skiljeframe: Ding 10-9 mot King (aldrig orolig) och McGill 10-9 mot Lisowski (aldrig vaken).

Det är förhållandevis mycket V i årets VM. Utöver de brittiska länderna och numera ständigt närvarande Australien och Kina har vi i år Norge, Schweiz och dubbelt Thailand. Av dessa lyckades baggen Maflin mot David Gilbert och den andre thailändaren Noppon Saengkham skrällde mot Shaun Murphy.

Irland är frånvarande för tredje året i följd, och återväxten efter Dubbelräven Doherty och Alien O’Brien tycks dröja.

Something out of Nothing

Something out of Nothing

NOTHING

Crescent Theatre, Birmingham, Sunday 11th February, 2018

  Lulu Raczka’s play from 2014 is all talk and no action.  The ‘nothing’ of the title is exactly what happens.  And that is the point.  The cast of eight sit among the audience; each has a story to tell, a monologue to get off his or her chest, and the actors pipe up, not in turn exactly, but when the moment feels right, and so…

Leading the cast as the hapless Francis Henshall is Damien…
