PB stop flirting with a 12-year-old boy and toying with his emotions for the sake of your own ego challenge fucking impossible difficulty

[mythicalsymplegma]

Just a friendly reminder

If you want unbiased news sources and are struggling to keep up with it all, PBS NewsHour posts daily news on their YouTube channel everyday at 6PM (14:00).

Makes one feel SUPER adult listening to/watching it, and also helps that the far right currently hates PBS and are trying to take it down, so give them all the viewership!

[unsolicited-opinions]

Some good examples of how Western media downplays attacks ON Israel:

In the opening minute of this NYT podcast, the NYT describes the ~180 bus-sized ballistic missiles launched at Israel by Iran as "...the largest missile attack on Israeli territory in the country's history."

Remove the bias, and it would instead acurrately be described as "the largest ballistic missile attack ever launched."

See the difference? Note how it changes the story?

PBS does the same thing:

Source

No, PBS. This was the largest missile attack ever launched, by any nation, against any nation.

I subscribe to the NYT. I'm a PBS member. This is profoundly disappointing, but no longer surprising.

None of PB's "sketches" will ever convince me that they didn't just use AI for their Plus One cover. Any artist worth their salt can clock when someone just pathetically traced over an AI image to pretend it's a "real" WIP. It just looks like someone made random sketches over already existing generated images. You can literally see the AI generated images in lower opacity beneath the "sketches". And how neither sketch matches the final cover at all.

Unlike before, where you can actually see the work in progress and see how the sketch turns into the final product.

I really don't know who they're trying to fool here. They should just honest in saying that they just AI generated the cover since we already know they were bought out by an AI company. Plain and simple.

Anyway, old animation update from a few weeks back. Still not done yet, though.

For those of you who are new here, you may need some context. Please press the read more button below.

["PAPERBOY" is an indie-webcomic about an artsy little disabled boy. Unfortunately for him, the Special Education staff at his school have not unpacked nor unlearned their ableist (and sometimes, frightful!) tendencies, making his environment nothing short of corrupt. If he does not leave the class within one year, he will die.

Knowing he can't stick around, Matthew Boston does his best to "earn" the right to switch out of there... and kickstarts several shenanigans in the meantime. 🎒📝🚀🌙]

The story is (& always will be) written & drawn by a disabled artist. It is heavily inspired by my experience in an NYC Special Ed program; primarily between the years of 2008 to 2017. It takes a deep look into the trauma ableism within disability spaces can cause, how internalized ableism manifests, and the toll this can take on developing minds.

Our story is not doom and gloom. The experience does wind up prompting Matthew to connect with the disabled kids around him on a deeper level. But be warned that PB is an emotional story; one that will discuss & portray various forms of ableism, abuse, mental health issues, and more, in as much depth as I can go.

there is a thing in how Steven Knight wrote the format for 'Who Wants to Be A Millionaire' and also this upwardly-rising social mobility thing with Tommy; yet inherent in both is an utter humiliation and mortification of the one who wants to be that millionaire (because of their fundamental IGNORANCE which will be found out at some point)

your aspirations become the visual and mental fodder of those who know their place (that place of the voyeur as above or below is irrelevant, but woe to the one who attempts to rise out of their place)

Analysing Why Williza Wouldn't Have Worked Out Through The Lens of a Pop Song

Hey, hi, hello!

This is not a post for the Willizas lol

I have no idea how many Stela Cole fans are among the Scarleteers, or, well, the ScarNashers.

This, I know it's a surprise, is not about Patrick and Eliza for once, but Eliza and William, though not in the best light, if that makes up for it, folks.

Stela has a new song called Blood Orange Wine and the lyrics kind of reminded me of Eliza's and William's relationship and how it lowkey went up in flames.

(I do feel I should acknowledge that, as far as I know, Stela's song is about a toxic relationship, which I don't think Eliza's and William's was, but if some of the lyrics fit, what can ya do?)

For your enjoyment:

1, just the title, Blood Orange Wine, itself: Eliza likes to drink wine, not beer, although she does drink whiskey, but usually in the presence of men eg. William, Patrick and probably Moses too (gosh I miss him)

2, I know it wasn't this extreme in the show, buuuut He knew the reasons I was scared of love - she was scared of entering a relationship with William, and I think the the reasons for that are:

a, he was her only family outside of Ivy, if it didn't work out, she would absolutely lose him (which happened in the end, and she didn't really get to have a say in the matter)

b, he was the only person she had ever felt romantic feelings for up until then

c, she had never been in a relationship, whereas William had been known for dallying with actresses, hell, he even courted her childhood bully

d, his image of the wife he wanted to marry differed so much from who Eliza is as a person, and Eliza, rightfully, didn't want to change herself completely just to fit that image

3, Told me he'd catch me if I fell, then he went running off - he confessed his love then upped and left, aka ran off, even though they were supposed to stick together since they were practically family, especially post-Henry's death

4, Knife to my throat until I opened up - again, I don't mean it literally, but he confessed his love, probably knowing Eliza wasn't ready, especially with the bomb that he was leaving for a year

5, He left me bleeding, now I'm freaking out - in that he left her to her own devices in regards to:

a, working out her feelings

b, knowing she was struggling to get cases at Nash & Sons and that she would no longer have access to Scotland Yard the same way without him, even with Fitzroy there (it's a bit redeeming though that he knew Nash was back to help Eliza)

c, knowing she had suffered a probably traumatic experience of not knowing whether he would live or die after getting shot

d, freaking out, as in she is sulking, or as she calls it, brooding, which is totally understandable, in my opinion, looking at the circumstances

6, Oh, I'm losing my forever, he only lets me down

a, Eliza and William were supposed to be endgame (still, I'm glad it didn't happen), they were each other's "forevers" right until they weren't

b, he only lets me down - she had to manipulate him in order to get him to help her, even though she needed his help, it wasn't (just) about her ambition

7, Wrapped around his finger, now my finger's wrapped around this glass

a, remember how important it was whenever they held hands or even their fingers touched?

b, in season 1, she regularly used her more womanly red dress to get him to do what she wanted, aka had him wrapped around her finger, because he wouldn't have helped her earn a living otherwise

Honestly, the more I wrote for this, the angrier I got. I still love William as a character, but they kinda fucked up his whole arc. Respect to Stuart for leaving, even if it wasn't because he saw that this would lead nowhere.

All of this, I think, supports why Patrick is a much better match for Eliza, even just as a friend and partner, but also as a potential love interest.

President Trump's new head of the Federal Communications Commission has ordered an investigation of NPR and PBS, with an eye toward unraveling federal funding for all public broadcasting.

"I am concerned that NPR and PBS broadcasts could be violating federal law by airing commercials," Chairman Brendan Carr wrote on Wednesday to the presidents and chief executives of NPR and PBS, Katherine Maher and Paula A. Kerger, respectively. "In particular, it is possible that NPR and PBS member stations are broadcasting underwriting announcements that cross the line into prohibited commercial advertisements."

The FCC does not directly regulate the two networks. Instead, it evaluates the actions of roughly 1,500 public broadcasting stations across the country, which hold licenses granted by the FCC for use of public airwaves for radio and television, even in the digital age.

Public broadcasting stations are prohibited from running commercials. Instead they present what are considered corporate underwriting spots, which are supposed to stop shy of a "call to action" telling listeners and viewers to buy a product or service.

Both CEOs rejected the claim that the public broadcasters had violated federal laws or practices that stretch back decades.

"PBS is proud of the noncommercial educational programming we provide to all Americans through our member stations," Kerger said in a statement shared with NPR. "We work diligently to comply with the FCC's underwriting regulations and welcome the opportunity to demonstrate that to the Commission."

In a statement posted publicly, Maher said NPR's corporate sponsorship credits and programs complied with federal regulations and FCC guidelines.

"We are confident any review of our programming and underwriting practices will confirm NPR's adherence to these rules," Maher stated. "We have worked for decades with the FCC in support of noncommercial educational broadcasters who provide essential information, educational programming, and emergency alerts to local communities across the United States."

Edward hates Skibidi Toilet

I honestly cannot stand the stupid Skibidi toilet meme! I don’t understand how the internet finds this shit entertaining! It’s cringey, repetitive, and just doesn’t make sense whatsoever!

I'll preface this by saying that I hate Jess and I've always hated Jess, but honestly the thing that annoys me the most about him is that all of his supposed wonderful character development happens off-screen. Like, I'm sorry but the last thing we see Jess do as a series regular is pressure his gf into sex and then get mad at her when she says no, and that to me is the real Jess. Anything after that is completely meaningless, like you can tell me he's in a better place and has magically resolved all of his anger issues off-screen, but if you're not actually going to show me how the hell that happened I'm simply not going to believe you.

The Duchess Affair expects me to believe that Nat wouldn’t get bored within his first few months of marriage to MC and go back to weaseling his way into the beds of the neglected and horny women of high society? Ok
