I have no idea what you’re smoking, but Anya Taylor-Joy is anything but plain jane looking.

See also Happy, formerly on SyFy and based on the Grant Morrison comic, which had pretty much the exactly same scenario as a B-plot running throughout the second season. (Only it was good.)

The Steve Carell voiced character in IF is literally named “Blue”.

I saw the main IF is named Blue and I legitimately can’t figure out how they got away with that. 

IF is an original, big-budget Hollywood release

Lack of education.

The internet is a force multiplier for stupidity.

‘cause what if the sun doesn’t come back on?

The oldest customer complaint in human history shows that people have basically not changed at all since 4000 years ago.

How is it 2024 and people are still scared of an eclipse.

I watched this episode last night, and was really impressed with the sequence. I felt the effects were inconsistent, but the way it was put together meant that didn’t really matter. What they got right was the tension in the build up, the brief moment of cool when you realise what the plan was, and then the horror at

Arguably, the people pushing the slide shows on us and the authors aren’t quite human.

But humans invented slideshows, so it’s debatable

Disney shortly afterwards:

I love that her lawsuit stipulates that Disney has to hire her back and write her back into the show. Good luck with that lady.

It must have been such hell being unable to defend his sister because she wasn’t ready to come out publicly.

Yeah I remember that being really the biggest part of all of it. She was super anti-trans and I think Pascal even tried to talk her rationally about it at first, but after repeatedly going down that hole, he definitely went to the Disney powers and said to tell her to get the fuck out

Which isn’t even getting to the biggest part yet: the actual star of the show she appeared in has become a superstar over the course of it, famously has a trans sister whom he truly loves and supports in every way, and presumably told their bosses: “shut her up or get her the fuck off my show.”  And, not being idiots,
