Your regular reminder that wasps are “defensive,” not “aggressive,” since 100% of their fighting instincts are to make sure big mammals stay away from their babies. They want you to see their bright colors and know that they hurt super bad so you won’t be foolish enough to find the nest and eat the larvae, which big mammals have been doing for so long, it’s what selectively bred wasps to be that way to begin with. This does include primates, including humans, in fact bee and wasp larvae have been staple parts of the human diet throughout history and there are still places where specifically types of paper wasp are bred as food!
biden 2024 - making things work
This is why I honestly feel like Biden was the best possible choice in a shitty situation, even with his age and potential health issues. Because if nothing else, he is NOT REACTIONARY. He is methodical and dedicated. Do I wish he acted a little faster and with more of an eye towards progressive policies? Obviously yes. But given the choices, and given everything else that’s happened, Biden has absolutely made the best of a bad situation. Sometimes you don’t need a hero, you need a fucking repairman to come and just make it work until it can be fixed. And he’s a damn good repairman.
Okay, I’ll give him the W for this one.
This is his biggest problem unfortunately. He’s the kind who “doesn’t want to gloat” but he NEEDS to let people know what he’s accomplishing! Most young voters are never going to see this article and just remember him “busting the strike.” The Democrats need to learn how to do a victory lap.
fuckin THANK YOU.

When you look at older media you see so many more protagonists in their 40s or 50s or older, even like grizzled bearded old men as the main adventurer. I even see stories from like the 20s where it’s written like a young hero is a wacky twist or novelty. I think we should bring that back. We should make like 33 the baseline age for main characters on cool adventures instead of the 13 or 16 it currently is. Let babies stay home and finish baby school first
Since multiple people were unclear on this, this is about media in general, not children’s media. Adult fantasy, science fiction and adventure media seldom stars anyone older than 25 either unless it’s real-world slice of life drama, for some reason, and in any case if a character is over 40 then their age will be a part of their character gimmick or crisis or there will be plot points about how that’s too old to be doing these things.
But even when we do look at children’s characters, the ones most popular of all with children under 12 are still usually 15 and up. The ones most popular with children of all ages across the board are like Batman and Mario. I can’t think of a single young child character that sells merchandise right now unless they’re also a nonhuman creature. The idea that everyone wants to see characters their age or younger is just one of those annoying marketing executive ideas they’re stubborn about.

this is like how people always say “oh this would kill a medieval peasant” girl you strongly underestimate the resilience of these fuckers. they would embrace your challenge with love and curiosity
And its not like gay sprang from the Feywild, fully formed, in 1968. There is a non-zero chance that Goodman John is gonna say “You meam there are people who CELEBRATE that they gargle cock? Wrap me in this strange fabric, for I, too, van be PROUD!”

We take bugs bunny’s “what’s up doc?” for granted by now but walking up behind the guy who’s aiming a gun at your front door and asking “hey what’s going on bro what’s all this” through a mouthful of Cheetos you’re still loudly eating is still a funny as hell concept
Another Tears of the Kingdom piece :D
The sky, the land, the depths, it’s all very cool!!
