So, here's my observation on the new cantina edit: it's better than the last one? Them firing at almost the same time. But taking the idea that "MACLUNKEY" is a Huttese threat (witnessed in Episode I), the extra dialogue was added to give a *reason* for Han to pull the trigger.
I think Lucas's motivation for tinkering was that he didn't like the backlash to the previous edit but he still wanted Han to have clean hands. What's supposed to be happening is that Han is responding to Greedo being about to pull the trigger, even if he doesn't wait for it.
I suspect that if Lucas had seen this cut through to the release himself, the subtitled dialogue would have been updated, too, in a way that makes it clear.

Okay, Spider-man and His Amazing Friends is kind of more bonkers than I remembered. Standards & Practices in 1983 apparently allowed much more explicit references to death and dying than the later 80s, and the Chameleon tried to murder Namor with a swimming pool full of alcohol.
It's also interesting the extent to which it unapologetically assumes its audience is familiar with the wide Marvel comics universe (or young to roll with it), freely referencing and including concepts and characters without explanation or introduction.
Electro attempting to torture Flash Thompson to death in a Pong machine for liking video games is probably supposed to be a lesson about his unhealthy obsession but it just comes off like Electro is a video game character who is mad at Flash for attacking his kind.

So, this is a good thread and the phenomenon it's talking about is very real.

However, I have to recite my usual maxim here: no cause with just one effect and no effect with just one cause.

There is (or may be, for you) something special about Comic Sans.

A thread.
I regularly adjust my font size (or switch Word to web view and zoom in) to get to the sweet spot being described, but I still switch to Comic Sans sometimes when I'm having a hard time finding the flow of creativity, and the results are pretty reliably great.
If I left this thread here and walked away, somebody would pop up to tell me it's a placebo. Guess what? There's no such thing as a psychological placebo. The placebo effect is a psychological effect... if you're using it for something mental, it's not a placebo. It's working.

So here's how I'm kicking off my time off for the week:

Contributing to EVERY single piece of the Disney+ thread from this morning. Simple thoughts, nothing more, as I go through however many confirmed Day One titles they have.
I am kinda ashamed to admit that I’ve never seen this movie in full. But wouldn’t the plural of “dwarf” be “dwarves”? Why spell it like that?
This one, I haven’t seen in about 16 or 17 years. But I sure do remember VHS trailers for it.

This is a great video - look at 0:15 lol ❤️

Trump: Congressional testimony on U.N. building renovation (2005)

Link to full clip (rather long) c-span.org/video/?c481527…
But one of the best parts about this was when I found pictures from the same testimony...

Note the body language (particularly under the table)

1. Alaska @SenDanSullivan on the Senate floor likely loses his seat over the impact on the @USCG. He has to vote against @POTUS or should pack up his stuff because he's not going to win in 2020. Alaska will turn blue. The GOP is trying to use it as leverage but it won't work.
2. @tedcruz next steps up to be heard. Looks like he's auditioning for a part in the road show of #Wolverine. Working hard to pretend to be a Hominid wearing a suit that's two sizes too small. What a show. Looks like there's plenty of grub a the Cruz home. #LetThemEatCake @gop.
3. Colorado's Democratic @SenatorBennet bringing it on the floor now. I'd sign him up for Iowa. Passionate, articulate. Life of public service. Young enough to survive the job. If he'll protect the Kurds sign me up.

Male omegas are rare. Rare, and highly sought after.

Jimin is a male omega who takes suppressants on the daily and hides his scent with blockers and beta oils.
It wasn’t until he joined Seoul University and met Min Yoongi did those precautions stop working.
