My personal ratings for this BC leaders debate (which you can watch over on Global or listen to here or search "The Mike Smyth Show" wherever you listen to podcasts) are:
Sonia Furstenau (Greens) - I found myself agreeing with her the most and I found she brought up the best points (especially regarding the reality of needing to address the root causes of our ongoing societal issues, like poverty and profiteering, for example)
David Eby (NDP) - He seemed to often agree with Sonia's points (me too!), but he also seemed much more focused on trying to catch Rustad in one of the many areas where Rustad can be called out on (because Rustad is one of those politicians), if only Rustad was someone that ever addressed what he was being asked directly to address
John Rustad (Cons) - I don't understand how people like this manage to always be in the running for leadership spots at ANY level in modern society, let alone at a provincial level, but I guess that's the type of modern society we still live in — a bunch of people clutching desperately at the ways of the old 'Us vs Them' world (the same old world where we just had to have a national day of truth & reconciliation because of how dark life can get when capitalist interests are put in charge of setting the rules for how the game of life gets played).
Of course, none of these people are who people in the HWY 95/A area will be casting votes for, so hopefully we'll start getting some local area debates (with video/audio 'listen later' options) to pass along as well!

[UK] FULL* coverage of the Leaders Debate for those who missed it
(or just found it too painful to finish (I feel you))
Starmer, who knows he will be Prime Minister in a month as long as he doesn't offend anyone too badly: the conservatives have been worse than useless for 14 years. Yes I have a plan. Sunak has done nothing he said he would. Yes my plan definitely exists. Vote for Labour, we are not the Conservatives.
Sunak, knowing whatever he will do he will almost certainly not be PM in a month: Lie. Lie. We don't need to look at the past. Lie. This is about the future! Lie. Probably a lie but my random Google searching can't prove it. Just ignore the last 14 years. Not exactly a lie but so grossly misrepresented it might as well be.
Actually answering a single question asked: *footage not found*
*the important bits anyway
#uk#leaders debate#uk general election#keir starmer#rishi sunak#labour#conservatives#let me know if i missed anything#but I think I covered it#also the minor party interviews:#“it's not like we will ever be in government#“so we can say whatever we want#“we'll just fund everything!”

They don’t even attempt to assassinate US politicians anymore. You notice that? Not since the anthrax scare back for… who was it, Barack? And even that… pathetic. This new generation has no respect for an honest hitman. I’m not sure this new generation has any honest hitman - you see that shit with Boeing? Sloppy, fucking disgraceful - you kill the whistleblowers before they get halfway to a lawsuit. What kind of fucking amateur is doing faked suicides the night before testimony? Goddamn greenhorns. Back in my day someone tried to shoot Ronald Reagan in broad daylight. There used to be bomb threats to Congress. I took out a few union leaders in the utilities sector myself. Today’s generation? Won’t even threaten to throw a punch - not even over on that - what’s it now, ‘X’? They got no guts. None! And they don’t even have poor impulse control to boot! Too much of that - that panopticon anxiety bullshit. “Oh what if I get a called out post???” People used to send the president letters full of bioweapons. In the mail! Today’s generation? Not a chance. All because of woke.
#ra speaks#personal#JOKING.#this is a joke this is a parody of right wing rants regarding social phenomenon they believe to be oppressed by left leaning politics.#but within the perspective of an old fictional hitman.#this is a joke tangentially referencing my fictional hitmen from a fictional story in which no harm comes to career politicians#obviously but also if this gets me on a list o7#fbi agent in my phone I’m a disabled autistic dyke with zero engineering or chemistry background#my skills are best applied to…idk sabatoging national forest harvest regimes? but I’m not doing that they’re neglected enough as is.#edit: oops this is getting notes o/ hiiiii cia agent reading this post <3 a union leader my dad worked w got fucking assassinated#by Pinkertons and y’all didn’t do shit. I hope you have visions of hell and become a nomadic hermit self flagellating in the woods#edit 2: ooooooh there was a pres debate last night. that’s why people care about my two week old joke hitman post. was wondering why.

I'm a bit afraid as to how they're gonna handle Leafstar's blindness (given... I think that's what the blurb is talking about in terms of her vision?) do you have any hope for this or should we expect to brave another ableism storm
They've been..... less bad lately. At least. TBC and ASC have been less outright insensitive lately, compared to DOTC or AVOS, aside from removing Shadowsight's epilepsy at the last moment and saying it was demonic possession all along.
I'd still buckle in for another ableism storm, but honestly, if you're an active fan of Warrior Cats I'd expect you to have your rain slicker handy anyways.
My prediction is that Leafstar is going to get treated in a way that is very frustrating, and not just because she is losing her eyesight. Leafstar has a long history of making stupid descisions to make the plot move, suddenly being a bitch to make other characters look good, and being undermined by assholes like Sharpclaw when she IS right.
So I'm prepared for the worst. I'm just hoping she manages to get a good, memorable death.
#I'm half debating on having there be another leader in between Leafstar and Hawkstar in bb#(IF we even get Hawkstar at all that is.)#Like maybe Waspwhisker doesn't get captured and does manage to become Waspstar.#Because it would be incredible if Juniperclaw's poisoning actually killed the sympathetic and diplomatic Leafstar#And in her place the next leader was willing to play by Clan Cat rules but in the most aggressive way possible#Bone babble#Changing skies

this might already exist (and if it does please send it my way i want to read it) but XY AU where language barriers exist.
Ash is fluent in Japanese and has decent Galarian (Iris and Cilan helped fill in a lot of gaps from school).
Serena is Kalosian but went out of her way to learn Japanese after that summer camp.
Clemont is fluent in Kalosian, has passable Galarian, and knows enough Paldean and Japanese for challengers (but usually uses a translation tool anyway. which is currently stuck in the gym thanks to Clembot).
Bonnie only knows Kalosian and a couple random Galarian phrases.
i might make loose comic thoughts on it but like. ash shows up in kalos with 0 knowledge of the language aside from MAYBE a few basic things from Alexa like "hello" and "i want to battle". two people with wildly different accents trying to speak the same secondary language until serena shows up and can more effectively communicate some thoughts that get lost in translation. bonnie and ash half-miming to communicate early on but still getting equally excited about pokemon things. an extra layer of "ash does not know miette is flirting with him" cause she thinks he knows at least some kalosian. do you see my vision
#pokemon#anipoke#pokemon xy#ash ketchum#ash pokemon#serena pokemon#gym leader clemont#clemont pokemon#bonnie pokemon#i think gym leaders are probably required to know at least a few basics in other languages just in case foreign trainers show up#maybe not emphasized as much in kalos but somewhere like galar or paldea?? very much so.#there's totally more things that would be fun with language barrier stuff but i haven't watched most of kalos#(ash does pick up some in the end. it will not stop him from butchering the language later though.)#(still debating if galarian should be the default like english is in our world or if japanese could be the “common” language in their world

Ave. Avph. If you were a Pokémon gym leader what would your team and typing be!! Your nuzlocke Art driving me crazy!21!1!:3
so maybe i went a little overboard because i got excited. and maybe did a little play on caustic because that's silly. maybe.
also a post-game rematch team for good measure. BATON PASS ISN'T BANNED IN CORE GAMEPLAY BABY !!
#i think my mutuals should also make gym leader sonas and we should make a mutual league that would RULE#pokemon#trainersona#leadersona#gym leader oc#avepharts#THANK YOU SM TERM IM SHAKING YOU SO HARD also i know you know i love scolipede lmfao#none of these are like top five pokemon (though i love them all dearly) ive just been really into poison types lately.#other options would be electric or dark.#asks#anyway initially i was gonna put swords dance on toxicroak's main set but i realised that'd maybe be overkill on a 6th/7th gym#oh and i debated continuing the hidden ability thing for clodsire and skuntank but ultimately decided not to#AND I FORGOT TO ADD THE TM its poison jab as you can probably guess
