Good lord, this looks impossible to keep clean.

Doctor Who subscribes more to TNG like episode titles (like Explosion which is about an explosion): Space Babies is about space babies, in The Angels Take Manhattan the angels are in Manhattan, The Meddling Monk is about a monk who meddles, in The End of the World the world ends, in It Takes You Away there is a frog that takes you away, in Boom things go boom.

That’s not very good for your skin, Bru- Batsy.

Wot? Perplexity ai, that app that I have on my phone and that I sometimes ask random things when I want to be angry at something and that gives entirely useless and wrong answers 95% of the time? lollmaoeven

This being an old comic and people instantly forming the (seemingly) obvious connection to recent events seems like a good illustration of the concept of the dead author.

Exactly. Different languages have different phonology that you have to be familiar with, there is no one way to “spell it like it’s pronounced” (except IPA and even that can be tricky).

“Eichhörnchenschwanz” is spelt exactly like it’s pronounced. Does this help you pronounce it?

Oh gawd I fell for it. It’s the right amount of blurry that was common on the early internet so I didn’t question the hazy details.

Be Batman, have prep time.

I refuse. (denial phase)

Seriously, there’s nothing inherently wrong with remakes but why do it if you’re not trying to make it BETTER? Or at least substantially different? Do a different take on the material, don’t just swap the CG animated boy for a real life actor while leaving everything including the CG animated dragon as it was, for fuck’s sake.

What no I can’t accept that! Those things are expensive, not to mention the ecological impact. You keep it for yourself dearie.

Yeah, I kind of figured that it’s probably a lot more innocent than the baity headline suggests.

I would fucking love to get my protein from insects - they’re prohibitively expensive.

Also, outrage bait.

Sounds like they have something to compensate for. ┐⁠(⁠ ⁠∵⁠ ⁠)⁠┌

We know WHY you do it. We just aren’t very happy with it.

Also, I find it hilarious how US Americans can seamlessly switch between “we’re so very united, everywhere is the same, same food, same culture, same language” and “we’re really 50 separate countries that each do their own thing, don’t judge all of us for the bullshit legislation some of us choose to have”.

Unless they’re from a primarily English speaking country, they’d be unlikely to complain though.

But what if Stuart had been adopted by Soviet Russians?
