The speakers that rise out of the ground to tell the Teletubbies what to do.

They wrote the script for the final episode of Dungeons and Dragons, but never made it.

You can read the script here: https://thescriptsavant.com/tv/Dungeons_&_Dragons_3x99_-_Requiem.pdf

And see a fan remake of it (with the original voice actor for Sheila) here: https://youtu.be/m1_6SeRRflo

There was really only one:

The comic received a lot of hateful, abusive comments, like people saying they hope the artist is raped…

… and some reasonable responses pointing out that re panel 3 that is exactly how people (men and women) often react to men trying to share about their mental health

And re panel 2 (rape/robbery metaphor aside) male rape survivors are often not believed, told they should have been able to defend themselves, and in the case of female-on-male rape told they are lucky and should be grateful, that getting sex is always a good thing for a man.

She responded to these comments badly, in particular belittling several male SA survivors who shared about their experiences.

The reasonable comments were kinda lost in a sea of abuse, so I understand her overreacting to an extent

And she more or less made an apology comic next week, where I appreciate the sentiment even if the dialogue is quite on-the-nose:

My verdict, she doesn’t hate men, she just made a mistake on one occasion.

I would not have thought of Borat without the alt text. My mind went to Henry Youngman “Take my wife… please”

Well, time to switch to NetBSD

The Neverending Story. Beautiful story and a deep musing on why humans need fantasy and storytelling.

I’ll share my favourite part. Gmork the werewolf has revealed that, when a creature from the magical world Fantastica falls into the Nothing, it emerges in the real world as a lie.

“When it comes to controlling human beings there is no better instrument than lies. Because, you see, humans live by beliefs. And beliefs can be manipulated. The power to manipulate beliefs is the only thing that counts. That’s why I sided with the powerful and served them - because I wanted to share their power.”

“I want no part in it!” Atreyu cried out.

“Take it easy, you little fool,” the werewolf growled. “When your turn comes to jump into the Nothing, you too will be a nameless servant of power, with no will of your own. Who knows what use they will make of you? Maybe you’ll help them persuade people to buy things they don’t need, or hate things they know nothing about, or hold beliefs that make them easy to handle, or doubt the truths that might save them. Yes, you little Fantastican, big things will be done in the human world with your help, wars started, empires founded. . .”

For a time Gmork peered at the boy out of half-closed eyes. Then he added: “The human world is full of weak-minded people, who think they’re as clever as can be and are convinced that it’s terribly important to persuade even the children that Fantastica doesn’t exist. Maybe they will be able to make good use of you.”
