It's probably been said, but one of the funniest things about the McElroy brothers is that when you see all three of them, they don't seem to look all that much alike.
But then as soon as you see Clint, suddenly it all starts to make sense.

Not to be cringe but *enjoys my interests in a fun, harmless little way that makes me happy*
I don’t think anime vs western animation are as different as people claim due to the fact they have inspired and fed off each other for decades (they’re friends!!), however I do think our environmental messages to kids are… significantly and interestingly different
whereas, say Ghibli films express a deep Shinto-based respect and reverence for nature:
fighting for it as a means of both self-preservation and expression of heroism revolving around justice
and a matter of other groups of humans (the government often) going up against the stalwart youth
This is contrasted to western animation which tends to be like…. hey! look at this funny bat! And pollution is an evil spirit you can fight like physically
that isn’t to say the west doesn’t depict environmentalism as heroic and even involving collective action, Captain Planet is a good example of this
but individualism is still very present, the struggle is stalwart youths versus an individual or individual corporation, hell, sometimes you even get a sympathetic backstory for the corporation and weirdly cool rock song
to be clear, antagonists like Lady Eboshi in Princess Mononoke are sympathetic too, but it is… different, Lady Eboshi is trying to survive due to circumstances but it is all of Irontown that represents a system of corruption
In comparison, there is this western idea of corruption coming from individuals rather than systems as well as the fact they aren’t trying to save nature because we are part of it, but because nature itself is a person and thus worthy of respect
In Fern Gully the fairy’s represent nature, the Lorax represents nature, Captain Planet is literally just nature, all things we can talk to and relate to, where in Princess Mononoke and Nausicaa the ultimate nature spirits are something you can’t talk to and are frankly terrifying, awe-inspiring, and mighty
Western epistemology is heavily rooted in Christianity which says that man has dominion over fish of the sea, fowl of the air, and creatures of the land, ect, which leads to a utilitarian and separate view of nature– what can it do for us as separate (higher) beings, and the only way to combat this view is to say “actually nature is a person and thus worthy of protection”
Whereas Japanese Shintoism has much more emphasis on the idea that we are all part of a whole with nature, nature is the ultimate divine with nothing more important than the other, and something worthy of protection not because we can understand it, but because we can’t
“It’s a mistake to think about nature from the idea of efficiency, that forests should be preserved because they are essential to human beings”– Hayao Miyazaki
this is not to completely bash western animation, it does have other strengths such as emphasizing children’s relationship to empathy, empathy toward others in “Toy Story” and empathy toward themselves in “Inside Out”
However, our methods of conveying environmentalism could use some updating and steering away from “goofy” and “relatable” and maybe a little more terror and awe involved with fighting the good fight
Either the constant stress and depression has made things disproportionately funny, or today's TAZ Live Show is legit one of the funniest live episodes the McElroy's have done.
Saw this on Twitter last night and it's a big, big mood.
good night to versatile gay men, cocaine addicts, people who cant cry because theyre on antidepressants, jolene, lesbians in hawaiian shirts, minecraft players, people who hug trees, cowboys, fucked up pet owners, teens who are so analytical of themselves theyre basically self-taught psychologists, whores, tarot readers, and last but not least, antonio banderas
Vote Early: Trump is pushing for the idea that mail on ballots cant be trusted for a reason. Mail in ballots are counted AFTER the rest. Statistically, people voting in person are more likely to think Covid is fake. Aka, Trumplicans. Mail-ins are more likely to be for Biden. Trump will very likely claim himself the winner on election night if the first round has him in the lead, then will declare all votes afterwards to be fraudulent. If you can, mail it in early. Find out how to mail in early. If you cant, still vote anyway in any way that you can.
Vote for fucking Biden. Ginsberg is gone. Voting for Biden was already the quick emergency move to stop a wound bleeding. That wound is now gushing. Before any of your grand revolutions we need a goddamn tourniquet NOW.
I'm sick of being nice about it. Yes I'll guilt you. Yes ill yell. Trump is setting up how to fully steal this election and is floating the idea of him "deserving" a third term. The time for "that can't happen bc he cant do that!" is long fucking past.
Your revolution will cost far more lives than Biden will. You think the USA is already fascist? Fine. You've also only seen a start. This is mild compared to what Trump wants and what the Republicans will give to him so they can secure power.
Get the tourniquet on. Vote Biden.
on a sincere note though, you guys do know that 22 is not old and 30 is not ancient, right? like yeah by 30 you will hopefully have matured but hearing some of you talk like life ends at 30 is a little worrying. one day, not as far away as it may seem, you will be 30 and you will still be a person with value, you will probably still have a lot of the same interests, you will still use the internet, and you will still be you. you have your whole life ahead of you
why do i need to come out ? if you still think im straight then that's on you
hey don't let the media tell you this election is already decided. it's exactly what they said in 2016 and we all remember how THAT worked out. 2020 could be a knife's edge election, and 18-24 year olds could easily be the deciding voice. please register to vote. think about the people that might not survive another four years of this.
Ruth Bader Ginsberg's death makes it all the more necessary that you vote. If the results are in any way debatable, will a conservative dominated supreme court rule that trump loses? Of course not. Vote.
Here’s something to chew on.

In case you wanna read the article this quote is from: http://rolereboot.org/culture-and-politics/details/2016-05-daughter-know-ok-angry/
Adaptable girls find socially acceptable ways to internalize or channel their discomfort and ire, sometimes at great personal cost. Passive aggressive behavior, anxiety, and depression are common effects. Sarcasm, apathy, and meanness have all been linked to suppressed rage. Troublesome behaviors, such as lying, skipping school, bullying other people, even being socially awkward are often signs that a teenager is dealing with anger that they are unable to name as anger.
Girls, taught to ignore their anger, become disassociated from themselves.
Anger is so successfully sublimated that girls lose the ability to understand what it feels and looks like. Is her heart racing? Does she feel flushed or shaky? Does she clench her jaws at night? Is she breaking out in hives? Does she cry for no reason? Laugh inappropriately during difficult conversations? Fly off the handle over something that seems inconsequential? You can see where I’m going here…those crazy girl hormones, right? Better to just think of it as a phase.
For too many women, however, the phase never ends. It’s lives spent never expressing anger at all and believing that they don’t have the right or ability to do so without great risk.
While anger in girls and women is overwhelmingly portrayed as irrational, it is, in fact, completely rational.
Girls learn to filter their existences through messages of powerlessness and cultural worthlessness. Girls might be more inclined to depression because coming to terms with your own cultural marginalization and irrelevance is depressing.
This doesn’t mean giving children, girls or boys, a pass for violent, disruptive, or entitled behavior.
[But] girls need to know—and should be told explicitly—that it’s alright to feel anger.
FOR MY BIRTHDAY? YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE.
(We’re going to move my birthday to September 23rd this year and have a Holmesiana themed birthday party stream like I’m ten years old. Clear your calendar now.)
(Fun, I get to be a Libra this year!)
