SAG-AFTRA Critical Role TLOVM and M9 Season Listings -- renewal confirmed?
So COMIC BOOK .com posted this article about season 3 of TLOVM being renewed, and then said Sag-Aftra listed seasons 4 and 5. After searching on the SAG-AFTRA website I found the listings:
So seasons 1&2 (batch production no doubt), then seasons 3, 4 and 5. And then Mighty Nein seasons 1 and 2 are listed here as well.
I will say I think it's odd that these are all listed as 2020 --- they could very well be pre-emptive registrations of production interest, and not a true renewal of the seasons. However, the majority of Robin Red Breast's (RRB is a subsidary of Titmouse. I believe RRB is unionised unlike other parts of Titmouse) shows are listed as 2020. I don't know if Titmouse decided to register everything planned for the future in 2020, or if this is just some sort of error, or if the seasons were backdated to 2020.
The potential implication that Mighty Nein was confirmed in 2020 is interesting, though.
However I do see 'pilots' listed, with no follow up season. If it was just interest, surely there'd be more seasons planned that didn't go into production?
So yeah. To be clear this is not a confirmed renewal. But it is interesting.
(Also it is good to know this is a SAG-AFTRA production. I think the theory was that it was Animation Guild. But it is SAG. I don't think 'High Budget New Media Animation Agreement' is a contract that was struck though.)
#and to be clear yes the article inspired me but the mighty nein listings was something i found on my own so ur welcome#critical role#vox machina#tlovm#mighty nein#basically me arguing against the article that this means anything lol

★ Main Story | Act 13 - Budding Spring | Chapter 19 - First-Year Office Worker
Company Employee A: Those intern kids are coming in today, right? Apparently, one of them is the son of the company’s president.
Company Employee B: What’s he like?
Company Employee C: I heard he’s an actor at a theater company.
Company Employee A: Well, if he’s interning, does that mean he’s looking for an actual job?
Company Employee B: Maybe he’s an unsuccessful actor.
Company Employee C: Yeah, well, he’s just a nepobaby, so we probably shouldn’t expect much from him.
*Knock on door and door opens*
Masumi: Good morning.
Company Employee A: --G-Good morning.
Masumi: I’m Masumi Usui, I’ll be a new intern starting today.
Masumi: I may be a bit of an inconvenience at times, but I will appreciate any guidance and encouragement you may have for me. I look forward to working with you.
Company Employee B: L-Likewise.
· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·
*Flashback*
Masumi: A suit? Too stiff, not wearing one.
Itaru: It’s better if you do this sorta thing right on your first day. You don’t wanna self-debuff by wearing the wrong armor to your first encounter.
Chikage: If you don’t have a suit, I can buy you one from the place I usually get mine.
Masumi: I have one, but…
Izumi: A suit, huh~. They really do make a person look more mature in an instant.
Masumi: I’ll wear one every day. And I’ll have breakfast at the dorms before I go.
Tsuzuru: I thought we literally all just agreed that it’d be a quicker commute to the office if you stayed in the company dorms.
Izumi: There’s no point in you coming back to MANKAI’s dorms every single morning.
Chikage: You’ll have to get some dress shirts and ties too.
Itaru: I think I’ll leave this sorta thing to our veteran office worker.
Masumi: …Whatever.
*Flashback end*

Company Employee D: That’s all for the explanation of both the industry and our company. From here, we’ll move on to group work--.
Company Employee D: To give you a basic understanding of what promotion is, we’ll have you experience everything from planning to presenting.
Company Employee D: Here we have created a fictitious company with a specific problem.
Company Employee D: Using this as a reference, each team will come up with a plan to solve the company’s problem and then propose said plan in a presentation.
Company Employee E: If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask questions.
· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·
Masumi: …And that’s why these data results suggest that this could be an effective way of solving the company’s issues.
Masumi: Finally, does anyone have any questions for me?
Masumi: If not, I would like to conclude here. I hope you’ll consider my proposal.
Masumi: I thank you all very much for your time today.
Company Employee F: W-Whoa… he’s one hell of an actor… He’s so dignified. And really persuasive too.
Company Employee E: He cleans up nicely wearing that suit and he’s got a different kind of mindset than your typical “I’m-going-to-one-day-take-over-the-company” kind of guy.
Company Employee D: He’s the kind of guy I wish I had coming with me to my presentation this afternoon…
· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·
Masumi: I’m finished.
Company Employee E: Huh, already? Did you read through them all?
Masumi: I’ve also compiled everything into a rough report.
Company Employee E: …Well then, are you able to use this software? Next, you can put that in a document using that.
Company Employee E: You can take your lunch break once you’re done with that.
Masumi: Understood.
Masumi: …
*Typing*
· • —– ٠ ✤ ٠ —– • ·
Masumi: …Phew.
Masumi: (Now to confirm with… Oh, they’re in a meeting now. I’ll do it later. I should be allowed to take a break now that I’m done, right?)
Masumi: (I guess while I’m at it, I’ll put together a list of promotional methods that could be used for the troupe and ask whatever questions I can.)
Masumi: (It’s interesting to study promotion like this again. I get why Director and Sakyo do it.)
Masumi: (I wonder if all the other theater companies are thinking of different ways to spread the word about the stuff they’re doing.)
Masumi: (It’s like I knew all of this existed, but I never really was aware of it. It’s the exact same world of theater, but I feel like I’m seeing it in an entirely new way.)
Masumi: (Ah, right…)

Curry has entered the chat.
Masumi: (No one’s here… I kind of hate having to be the first one, but whatever…)

Jenson Button cuts to the chase
Via The Daily Telegraph, July 14, 2004
Preparing for the British Grand Prix is a stressful affair, by all accounts. So when our top driver, teenage pin-up Jenson Button, decided to take some down-time, he popped into a local cinema to see the newly released Shrek 2. Spy overheard Button having the following conversation with one earnest film critic at Silverstone the next day. Critic: "Jenson, I bet you pounds 50 for Sport Relief that you cried when Shrek and Princess Fiona chose to be their real ogre selves, instead living out their lives as a hunky prince and beautiful princess." A bemused Button: "You'll have to cough up pounds 50 then. I didn't get it. Why would anyone want to be green and ugly?" There speaks a true man of Formula One. In the paddock, they like their people beautiful.
#a completely real article i just found (while working on a jenson project)#the thing about our jense is he got the most deranged press of any driver to date and YES that includes your blorbos#buttonmania#<- the tag i will be using for jenson archiving#jenson button

Not me casually sending my mom articles on QPRs to prime her for explaining the I am in fact marrying my best friend platonically and no it has not been a joke
#personal rambles#cassette tape#qprs#I actually found a pretty good one in men’s health magazine of all places#and then used that as a casually transition#like ‘hey look at this good article I found in such a weird place!’#she communicates through articles sometimes? and it’s how she learns stuff best I think#and she also sends ME articles about queer stuff so it’s not totally out of left field?#I’ll have to be careful how I send the second one tho or it might tip her off before I’m ready#I’m waiting until after the proposal for the uncomfy convos with literally everyone in our family#I’m just priming mom with the articles so she’ll have a basis of understanding of what a qpr is#and that no we haven’t been lying about our relationship this whole time#and yes we’re best friends#but also we’re getting married and it’s different from traditional friendship#yes we’re in love but also not like that but also also not like that either but no but yes and kind of and it’s complicated#but I’m sure this short one page article will explain everything forever

It’s so funny to me that they are apparently making another Mass Effect game that’s going to function as a direct sequel to the original trilogy. How are they going to do that. Are they going to pick and canonize one of the endings. Do they have any idea of the uproar that will cause after they presented all three endings as equal. Why would they do this to themselves.
#mass effect#i found out about this upcoming game in the funniest possible way too#in that i was reading articles on the ME endings and they kept talking about 'the next ME' and 'ME4'#and i was just going 'yes yes ME Andromeda we've all seen it' and scrolled past those parts#and then i noticed the dates on the articles and was thrown for a loop realizing they were written years after the release of andromeda#good times#anyway I'm incredibly curious and highly amused about ME4 and can’t wait to see whether they shoot themselves in the foot even worse#or somehow manage to salvage things#nella talks

So a little while ago at work I was cashing out a woman who was mostly communicating with intonation but no words, which was perfectly understandable, and she seemed to understand what I was saying but I did more gesturing like I usually do with customers who may be deaf/hoh. At some point she made a motion with her hand that looked like sign language to me, and I felt a little embarrassed because I keep meaning to learn ASL and just... haven't. So after she left I started trying to see if I could figure out what she signed at me.
Boy. I was not prepared.
The entire fucking search results were just articles titled things like "sign language for beginners!" showing me words like "UP" and "MILK." I got so desperate I was typing in search terms like "basic american sign language FOR ADULTS"
#i assume this is the deaf/hoh equivalent of when you google bpd and all the results are like#'how to escape a TOXIC RELATIONSHIP with an EVIL CLUSTER B PERSON'#i am not an infant and i do not have an infant i googled asl can you please show me asl resources fhajajncbdhfja#the other great breed of articles i found about asl is the ones that were like 'basic asl' and then just showed letters like bro#what am i supposed to do spell out every word letter by letter can you tell me how to say hi#actually if anybody is an asl speaker i think that a video series on basic asl for customer service would be super cool#like just 'yes' 'no' 'card' 'cash' 'thank you' 'do you need help' 'have a good day' etc etc#i looked that up but i didn't find anything :(#incoherent rambling

You think alloys of a few metals are the smallest type of catalyst (see: platinum alloys in catalytic converters), but it was I, the muon!
(I meant to look for a source on both of these but gave up. It's kind of common knowledge that platinum is a major component in catalytic converters and that muons catalyze fusion. Nevertheless, here are two articles that at least mention both of these things.
Platinum: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijhydene.2023.08.343
Muon: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/20080040752/downloads/20080040752.pdf
)
#I'm sorry I only read the abstract for the muon article#like seriously I found two atrocious links on muon fusion that hardly even talked about it#scienceposting#anyway the joke is that this is a riff on the “You thought it was X‚ but it was I‚ Dio!”#and Dio is an often-reoccurring JoJo villain but muons decay very quickly. So they are not like Dio at all.#yes the joke is that muons are not immortal vampires it's not that I'm simply substituting words in the “it was I‚ Dio” joke#nothing post

one detail that has stuck with me since the beginning of splatoon 3 was the explanation my friend gave me as to WHY mr. grizz was suddenly mr. "nice boss around the block" instead of the raging asshole (affectionate) he was in 2
apparently the translation team had decided to go for a more direct translation, and in the japanese version of the game, mr. grizz is genuinely a much nicer fellow than his american counterpart: but why was that the case? my friend told me why, but i did some research to confirm his findings
in the japanese language, there are two words that play into the country's work culture: "Seizensetsu (性善説)" and "Kenson (謙遜)"
Seizensetsu (性善説): A belief that human nature is good and people are naturally inclined toward virtue. Conversely, the negative elements of society tend to corrupt people. To prevent this from happening, people need to work relentlessly and do their best to maintain their virtue.
Kenson (謙遜): The act of demonstrating your self-sacrifice and accepting your lower status, even when you believe you should be praised highly by others for your achievements. This is something you must never voice or draw attention to. This torture-like modesty is considered a virtue, especially among the elite classes. They are the ones expected to be role models within Japanese society.
to summarize an already overly long post (sorry), the general idea is that bosses worry that if they give their workers praise, it could lead them to become complacent and to do less of a good job at their work, which is why "tougher" bosses are seen as good examples (and to an extent, "nice" bosses are seen as hiding something). another side is that their workers are so used to not getting praise that when they DO get it, they don't know how to respond and it makes everything awkward, so why not avoid it altogether?
so that's why there's such a character shift between 2!grizz and 3!grizz: in 2, the translators worked to make him more of a "bad boss" by american standards while in 3 they figured going for the one-to-one translation would be better. something something "back in my day mr. grizz would tell me to kill myself if i only brought in 100 eggs" something (no personal opinion on this one way or the other, it is what it is etc.)
i'm rambling a bit much here, but i wanted to explain my thought process about this splatfest. my friends and i genuinely picked big man because of the theme, but the second choice was always going to be frye. we all thought shiver would be the worst "leader" because they held grudges easily and tended to be rude and full of themself, just look at how they treated their shark in the story mode!
(i still love them a lot don't get me wrong but yeah, not exactly a shining example of a "good" leader)
going into splatfest though, i thought about mr. grizz. i thought about how a "makes sure to point out all your flaws" characteristic was seen as valuable and respectable in workplaces. i thought about how a few splatfests had already been swayed by the japanese playerbase (it is a japanese-based game, after all) and-
yeah, i thought it would be skewed, but i will admit i was completely shocked at just HOW skewed it ended up being
now, could i be reading too much into this? most likely yeah. this IS a kid's game, and i highly doubt a lot of kids are worried about proper workplace culture, but i got to share cool mr. grizz lore, so i consider this a good post anyway <3
#splatoon#splatfest#salmon run#shiver vs frye vs big man#now obv im not arguing that this is a GOOD environment to work in and in fact#theres been many Actually We Should Probably Stop Killing Our Employees articles to come out recently from japan#but that doesnt change the fact that. it IS how things are mostly seen over there#just wanted to make this post because i saw a few ppl say 'shiver was AWFUL in the story mode'#'anyone who played it OBVIOUSLY knows this so they HAD to have just picked shiver due to favoritism!' and well. Yes But Also No#alterna was a reason why i didnt pick shiver yes. but to some people it might have been the EXACT reason why they picked her#i can link the article i found all this information on if anyone wants it its pretty neat#my post

nngh ran into more I/p discourse. Why does everybody make it so hard. I read this stuff and can’t tell fact from fiction. At least until I step back and remember 18000 murdered civilians
#serious#tw genocide#the stuff I found was basically the ‘uhh all protestors are super terrorists who love Hamas and also decolonization = bad’#which like. a bit of that is real. I’m not touching the Hamas thing w a ten foot pole in not qualified#*i’m#but like. one of them basically said using the word settler-colonialism is a red flag#like?? that’s an actual thing??? yes? by definition???#the more I think about it that article was full of shit#they didn’t realize that the ppl within a settler colonialist state are capable of condemning it. WITHOUT condoning genocide#it kept whining about Marxism too. which. there are valid criticisms. that aren’t ‘Marxism = absolutely evil anti intellectual forever’#anyways hate all of this. hypocrites the lot of them.#and to the antisemitic leftists out there- you are the scum of the earth

my favorite thing about the banpitbull subreddit is people going ‘hey do we have sources for X opinion’ and all comments are ‘well, in my personal opinion-’ without a single source shared. Or, the one time they share sources, it is cherrypicked paragraphs from studies that make broad statements about several dog breeds or dogs in general and have literally nothing to do with bully breeds specifically or they link to two websites that are specifically anti-pitbull and the fox news of dog hate.
One post was titled ‘why do we think pitbulls are aggressive’ and its a guy stating that his girlfriend who’s raised and trained multiple dog breeds, and knows more about dogs than him and is more researched on dog behavior than him wants to get a pitbull and he can’t refute any of her arguments as to why these dogs aren’t more aggressive than other large, high prey drive dogs and that for every one pitbull attack there are literal thousands of other bullies who will never attack anyone, so he’s running to his echo chamber for ways to argue with his girlfriend. And all the replies are anecdotes, what I mentioned above, and ‘make her look at this mauling video and see if she still wants one!’.
Listen, if your vitriolic hate campaign for mass dog banning and euthanasia can’t provide any meaningful data as to why they are so mad outside of one statistic from a suspiciously specific set of dates and The Daily Wire: dog hate edition, then maybe listen to your girlfriend and start looking into why a cheap, heavily over-bred, extremely common, and most-likely-to-be abused handful of breeds smooshed together to make number bigger might be responsible for more fatalities than 1 singular other breed that costs a thousand dollars a pup.
#things i found on reddit#like yes if all you do all day is watch dog mauling videos and read news articles about them#you will think that every bully is just waiting to murder you#but thats not what even the statistics you like to point to say#i hope that lady gets a new boyfriend and good ass bully to love
