Witcher choreography

Will have to watch through more episodes to be entirely sure but most combat scenes in The Witcher are good fight choreography even if I have hang ups about certain aspects myself. I don’t think an argument for ‘historical accuracy’ makes sense here cause it is a fantasy show, sure one based mostly on books based on medieval and renaissance history and slavic mythology but still. We can talk about a certain degree of realism and internal consistency of the show, general logic etc. - for example armor seems to sometimes work sometimes not, so why should characters wear armor if it doesn’t actually protect them? A status symbol works for some characters but not all. Then again there are some examples of attacks to folks in armor that specifically target the unarmored parts of their bodies, which makes a lot of sense and is honestly too rare in fight choreography generally. The flow of fighting is overall good, fight scenes actually serve to advance the plot as well(at least it seems so far) and not just be there as eye candy even though they are that at times. There’s some silly moves, especially from Geralt himself, but whether we look at the games or the books he never used a style that would be really seen as sensible were he a regular human, but he’s literally a Witcher, a mutant that’s meant to fight mythological beasts and literal monsters so it still works. And we see him fight one at the very beginning. And it’s made to look very effective the way he does it in the show.

There’s more to it but that’s all that I have on top of my mind at the moment.

Broccoli, kale, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, and kohlrabi are all human-made plants. Weird as that sounds, humans turned B. oleracea into six different plants, depending on what part of the plant was bred to be larger.

B. oleracea (aka wild mustard) was once just another wild plant that grew along the coast of Britain, France, and countries in the Mediterranean. In ancient Greece and Rome humans began replanting the seeds from leafier versions. Slowly, such selective replanting created plants historians think were the ancestors to today’s collard greens or kale. Time and agricultural ingenuity eventually produced the rest.

Satanic Abortions cut through unconstitutional abortion laws

States across the US have enacted cruel, unconstitutional abortion laws that require doctors to sexually assault women seeking abortions and lie to them about the health impacts of abortion. Some laws require funerals for foetal remains. These laws were pushed by ALEC, the corporate-backed “legislative exchange” that pushes “model legislation” through a network of slick lobbyists in state-houses across the country. ALEC purports to be in favor of “liberty” and “small government.” Enter the Satanic Temple, a federally recognized religion whose members do not believe in Satan or supernatural phenomena. They believe “that religion can, and should, be divorced from superstition.” The Temple has a fantastic schtick. They go to places where christofascists have gotten laws passed that shove their weird, apostate version of “Christianity” down everyone else’s throats and point out that the First Amendment requires nondiscrimination among faiths. Wanna put a giant stone Ten Commandments in front of your courthouse? Sure. But they’re gonna put a giant statue of Baphomet right next to it. The court challenges they mount aren’t cheap, but they’re slam dunks. The US Constitution is pretty clear on this. Now, in 1993, Chuck Schumer sponsored the “Religious Freedom Restoration Act” which lets Americans sue governments over laws that “substantially burdens a person’s exercise of religion.” https://www.congress.gov/bill/103rd-congress/house-bill/1308 Religious maniacs LOVE the RFRA and its progeny, like SCOTUS’s Hobby Lobby decision, which broadened the RFRA’s provisions and allowed corporations to claim exemptions from Rendering Unto Caesar where that interfered with the owners’ faith. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burwell_v._Hobby_Lobby_Stores,_Inc. Guess what you get when you combine the RFRA, ALEC’s restrictive abortion laws, and the Satanic Temple? That’s right…SATANIC ABORTIONS. https://announcement.thesatanictemple.com/rrr-campaign41280784 A Satanic Abortion is a religious ritual that is totally indistinguishable from a normal, medical abortion, except that the participant says a few self-affirming words about her bodily autonomy. Oh, also: the ritual absolutely forbids, as a bedrock matter of religous conviction, any waiting periods, the withholding of medically necessary advice, mandatory counseling, required readings, and unnecessary sonograms. Also forbidden: mandatory fetal heartbeat listening sessions and compulsory fetal burials. If you want an abortion and the doctor tries this bullshit, hand them one of these exemption letters explaining how the law doesn’t apply thanks to the RFRA. https://www.dropbox.com/s/mup4nee1n9wkvqb/Religious%20Abortion%20Exemption%20Letter.pdf Now, the religious right could fight this. But if they win…they overturn the RFRA, and Hobby Lobby has to provide its employees with contraception and all the other theocratic exemptions go poof, too. The Temple is pretty amazing. Here’s some highlights of their previous campaigns: “Publicly confronted hate groups, fought for the abolition of corporal punishment in public schools, applied for equal representation when religious installations are placed on public property, provided religious exemption and legal protection against laws that unscientifically restrict women’s reproductive autonomy, exposed harmful pseudo-scientific practitioners in mental health care, organized clubs alongside other religious after-school clubs in schools besieged by proselytizing organizations, and engaged in other advocacy in accordance with our tenets.”
