Bourke offered a feeble inquiry that absolved Mudie of every charge except serving his convicts rotten food.

The injustice kills me. The bad guys are not supposed to win.

President-elect Donald Trump faced four felony charges in connection with his efforts to overturn his 2020 presidential election loss, which culminated in the U.S. Capitol attack.

A fan sends Eddie a buzzfeed listicle-style article about celebrities that have committed crimes because Steve is listed as an honorable mention.

Eddie films himself texting a link to the article to Steve and then films Steve receiving the text. He’s just like, “Why are you sending me this?”

Eddie: Just look at it

Steve, after reading the headline: Are you mentioned in this? That’s bullshit, Eddie. It’s like, defamation of character because you never-

Steve, getting to the part he’s mentioned at: What the hell? I’m not a celebrity…. Or a criminal!

Steve; Eddie, stop telling your internet friends that I’m a criminal! I’ve never committed a crime. I’ve never been charged with a crime.

Steve: I was in a car accident once but I wasn’t charged with anything because it was justified. I’ve actually never been arrested in my life. This is insane.

Fans, not even an hour after Eddie’s Tiktok: *post pictures of Steve and Eddie’s mugshots after a bar fight in Cleveland during Corroded Coffin’s 1989 tour.

Steve:

Steve: Well, I forgot that happened.

Dropping water from a plastic pipette onto a pool of oil electrically charges the drop. Then, as it evaporates, it shrinks and concentrates the charges closer and closer.  (Video and image credit: M. Lin et al.; research preprint: M. Lin et al.) Read the full article

Came up with this AU (subplot?) where Megs and Star struggle to care for their earth pets, the “Battle Dog” (really Megs? 😑) and, um…

*Checks TFwiki*

Sure, we’ll call ‘em Meowgatron—

While still tryin’ to survive on/take over earth ‘n stuff.

Or in other words, if Megs was just a little less of a douchebag, towards the dog that he tried to weaponize and end all of humanity with.👌

*Realizes how that sounds* (ﾟ ヘﾟ)

Listen, this is the same episodic manga that has an entire underground highway system that spans worldwide, an island full of predators and prey that live together in peace, and Rumble and Frenzy disguising themselves as hooded figures to hate on Autobots (seriously guys…wtf?).

Make of that increasing ludicrousness/questionableness AND the tonal whiplash case that is the final chapter as you will.

I think it’s so ironic that the Pony Express escapes a lot if not all blame in discussion. I can’t even say I am excused from it but it’s just how hard people circle back to the characters alone without considering the environment they were made to be in.

Why would they design a ship where only two of the rooms lock? Not the bathroom? Not the sleeping quarters? We assume that all the companies in the universe are this shallow and careless to their workers but we explicitly know the Pony Express in extra vile. They are fed processed slop pack they can’t even really cook and the ration of those pack is meager at best. They hired and made people with a plethora of conflicting demeanors and beliefs work together on a mission where cohesion is important if not an outright necessity and punish them for not being happy about it. There’s no social protocols, not chain of command other than Captain’s word/choice and the only way to enforce that is with a literal firearm. They don’t allow them to celebrate freely and even took away leisure activities that would make them less stir crazy. They are only allowed a few hours of sleep despite their being no other real responsibilities or work on the ship, no matter the position or its importance. With any crew, with any level of synergy, this was a powder keg waiting for a spark.

I’m not saying characters that made mistakes didn’t make huge ones, but I think part of the horror is that at least for some (this is targeting Jimathan) those mistakes are partly made by a force of the hand. There’s a running theme of lack of choice and being forced into something and the very nature of how The Pony Express expected them to function plays a big part.
