For sure, and any changes made uplifts the material in a smart way. With The Watch, none of this feels like it made it into this adaptation- it looks like the plot was relayed to the writers via the game of telephone, and they filled in the gaps with no knowledge of the classic Pratchett vibes. Hopefully this works

I mean, that’s the opposite of what he said in his op-ed:

Indeed, fam. I hope I’m not going too far by saying I don’t care for that old scallywag much at all.

A real naughty boy, he was!

That Hitler sure was a stinker.

Man, that is a stupid-ass joke. What does that even mean? My 8 year-old could come up with a better pun.

Can’t wait until she uses this one.

Obligatory

I wonder if these people “just ask questions” and “do [their] own research” before taking an Advil or boarding an airplane.

Exactly. “Hey, I’m just asking questions” is how you respond when you’re a) deliberately saying something inflammatory and in bad faith and/or b) being called out for saying something shitty.

If your reason is paranoia about things like the hunt for Bin Laden or the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, then sure, let’s talk. If it’s skepticism about the science of vaccinations, then you’re an idiot who is contributing to people dying. If you’re anti-vax because Bill Gates “stands to profit from it greatly” or

Just asking questions is a cowards answer spouted by conspiracy theorists and racists.  Actual questions aren't phrased like that.

Eh, if you choose to spread dangerous misinformation about the deadly pandemic sweeping across the world and about vaccines in general, sorry, you deserve to be canceled. Like, I can’t think of a more justifiable reason for canceling somebody. Also, people need to fuck off with the “just asking questions” bullshit.

I would fucking love to see a big budget adaptaion of Toxic Crusaders.

I will never get over Toxic Crusaders.

On one hand, I agree.

But what about Rocket Raccoon’s lawyer; surely you could make a show about him?

I wasn’t online for most of yesterday, so waking up and seeing this first thing Sunday morning was not what I expected. I’m happy and sad at the same time, and it’s weird. Disney did a good thing here.

This asshole illegally acquired a gun and crossed state lines with the intention of shooting people and has the gall to claim he committed multiple murders in self-defense. The only sad part is that he didn’t have the common sense God gave the average cockroach to stay home instead.
