Wildfires in Hollywood

Kinda wish mine was a cartoon, but not a political cartoon. I mean the kind where everyone has an unlimited food budget, no one dies or gets seriously hurt they're just brusied for a scene then fine the next, and I can make my tits bigger by plugging air hoses to my nipples.

Sadly I live in a political cartoon, I hope my nightmarish existence is serving a good purpose, but I have feeling it's a Chick Tract from 1962 about how the future year of 2025 will be full of ignorance and vice because America was mad enough to elect a gasp Catholic for President the previous year. Why? Because I'm a transchick accustomed to tragedy, full of imposter syndrome, full of paranoia, and constantly disgusted with my own existence. So a Chick Tract about how evil, crazy, and sinful I am scans.

If you're listening pen that draws my existence. JFK was actually quite based, and he was assassinated by the CIA for trying to shut down the Federal Reserve and establish single player, it's not too late to become a furry and do a wacky story about how I turned into a fat-assed foxlady because I ate at a chinese buffet ran by a mischevious Kitsune.

Yes I know Kitsune are Japanese and Chinese Buffets are Chinese, I just really like Chinese food and... don't know Chinese animals well enough to... oh wait, pleasantly plump lazy panda, I could work with that.

Ya listening to me you demonically devoted demiurge?

This guy gets it.

Demonizing the south as inbred yokels who can't read doesn't get them to listen to you, it just reinforces their xenophobic ideas about how the Liberal Elite are mocking them.

Ya know I was watching a Why Files episode on Reptilians who farm negative emotions from humans by keeping us in a cycle of reincarnation.

That makes, too much sense when shit like the DIC you're talking about exists.

Not even a mention of Happy Feet. C'mon. Lol

This is a great though, and if anything, yeah, "pollution apocalypse" has become such a common trope at this point it's almost lazy writing now.

Also the inciting incident to the 'verse of Firefly:

Mal: "Here's how it is: (The) Earth got used up, so we (moved out, and) terraformed a whole new galaxy of Earths, some rich and flush with new technologies, some not so much. (The) Central Planets, them as formed the Alliance, waged war to bring everyone under their rule; a few idiots tried to fight it, among them myself. I'm Malcolm Reynolds, captain of Serenity.

Solid read. Thanks

I actually really liked the premise behind that one, the idea that collectively since we flooded our entertainment with cynical grimdark media, we all just accepted that ill use of technology leading to an apocalypse was an inevitability, and apathy let it happen.

It was an interesting message that I would've liked to see in a different vehicle.

I guess I should just be nice to people who want me dead.

Yesn't

You gotta take a "Do no harm, but take no shit." attitude and walk a fine line: Speak softly, carry a big stick.

Naa, they can get fucked. I'm not gonna try to smooth talk them. Have some self-respect.

Maybe some climate change disaster movies are a good idea to make actually

Plus, disaster movies are fun

Joan is a great writer! I'm glad to see a fellow lemming linking her work here.

What was that one where the world was destroyed by climate change, but instead of burning everything froze? IIRC, the main character was played by John Cusack.

The Day After Tomorrow? I loved that one

I tried to watch that movie. But I quit it 15 minutes in.

What was even the point? It wasn't funny, it wasn't enjoyable, it wasn't dramatic.

It's like "look, here is a blatantly obvious metaphor on climate change" that's our whole movie.

It seemed aimed for a very particular subset of people that wanted to feel a pat on the head or something. I feel like it's the same people who enjoy that big ass climate change doom clock.

Just too much virtue signalling for my taste. Without actually making anything useful.

Who can forget the scene where they literally ran away from cold.

What a movie

Your comment is now an extension of that movie’s plot.

One of the reasons I love Spec Ops: The Line. It’s marketed to the correct crowd. The exact type of person that needs to understand killing your way through a situation rarely works is the one who will see the cover and think “Aw cool, a shooting game about killing your way through an adventure”.

I agree that the mocking approach doesn’t work in terms of enacting change. I’m still in favor of it for our own sakes just because it’s fun.
