A meme with pictures of Vash the Stampede from "Trigun" and Daisuke Ido from "Battle Angel". It is captioned "there's a story where this guy becomes this guy"

I want to mention two awesome puppet related efforts. First is Nebula-75 (nebula-75.com/), filmed with the Supermarionation props during the UK pandemic lockdown. Second is Thunderbolt Fantasy (thunderboltfantasy.com/), a puppet wuxia series. 🧵

Welcome to the home of Nebula-75, a brand new retro style puppet science fiction series filmed in Supermarionation. Created during the British lockdown of 2020, the series follows in the footsteps of...

Both of these excited audiences enough for renewals, which tells us there's a market. We have a scifi show and a fantasy show, so there's genre appeal. I feel like if someone did an Actual Play type thing with puppets, people would watch it, especially with sets & effects.

For people talking "don't vote for genocide Joe" or "let Trump win so Democrats change their tune on Palestine", I ask two things of you - how many of Biden's pro-Israel policies are continuations of Trump policies? - do you think Trump will let himself be voted out again?

If you read this tweet as "vote for Biden" you missed the point. This is a question about a specific strategy I'm seeing Twitter users advocate, of letting Trump win, and how they think it will advance their stated political goals.

"It’s the juxtaposition, of how normal everyone’s treating the wartime situation with how stressful and difficult it is to have ordinary interactions with other human beings."

...Because that's what this anxiety feels like.

This thread is great, and Sam Wilson is great, and I want to talk about why for awhile, because while racism is bad just for being racism, it's also really misguided when aimed at this guy. So here's where I am as a Sam Wilson fan. 🧵

Anyway, for those of you still questioning Sam Wilson's validity in changing from Falcon to Captain America, go read Nick Spencer's CAPTAIN AMERICA: SAM WILSON & hopefully it shows you the potential that won me over to counting Sam as one of my (male) Marvel faves.

I like reading comics & watching movies where characters have fantastic adventures and outlandish exploits and all that. But I also do those things to be reminded by this fiction, "hey, here's what it feels like to strive, to suffer, to rise again, to be better".

I think we all need that reminder. I think Sam is a great character because he consistently delivers it. You could put any suit you like on Sam Wilson and you'd still get that core of heroic humanity. The mantle doesn't define him. He will uphold any mantle he's asked to wear
