Re: Jason's guest appearance in Green Arrow. Honestly I really want to see Mia and Jason meet again years later in a team up scenario purely because I think the vibes would be unhinged
Like... They don't really meet again I'm pretty sure so they're walking into that first meeting of the teamup with the perspectives of
Jason: Oh nice, I'm working with that fellow graduate of the school of hard knocks I talked to years back! I hope she ditched her deadweight mentor and is doing good. She seemed badass, tons of potential.
And
Mia: Oh shit, I'm working with that fuckin weirdo who blew up my school and gave me friendly(???) Murder Advice.
And I just think that holds a lotta chaotic potential!
Also I haven't finished the relevant Teen Titans comics yet, so I'm hoping for a scene where Tim and Mia can go like "oh he tried that shit with you too?!"
That would be SO MUCH FUN! We get no fun scenes in Teen Titans, as far as I can tell. That period of the comic wasn’t very interested in fun. But Jason and Mia!
Jason trying to team up with any teen would be fun, because his perspective is so skewed. But Mia is both stable, and sarcastic, in ways that would play really nicely with Jason’s everything.
Mia: I am only working with you if you give me all the explosives.
Five minutes later: YES! YES THAT RULE INCLUDED ROCKET LAUNCHERS! Give it to me. Now.
20 minutes later: Fine. But I’m setting off the explosion.
Jason does very well with this sort of leader, and enjoys the whole thing immensely. Mia … finds it stressful, but not necessarily bad. She gets tripped up a few times when Jason makes the type of joke Roy would, but then is completely sincere about actually doing it. She expects him to have at least a LITTLE common sense!

Zuko was wrong, actually. (I think.maybe.) Because juice, like, comes from the moisture in thing thing and then you remove the non-liquid bits, whereas in (most?) tea, you infuse the leaves with water instead of relying on the inherent water. True hot leaf juice would be if you extracted liquid from a couple leaves and heated it up, which would be expensive and probably bitter but a fun way to do it

#also i love it when ppl only ever bring up mia when they want to shit on jason #and very transparently pretend to care about her and be Very Angry about all the traits that jason ~stole from her #conveniently ignoring that winick (who liked exploring the connections btwn bats and arrows) actually tweaked mias backstory 2 make it more+ #like jasons (adding in the homelessness vs smiths version which was the less sensationalized familial trafficking)
#because... get this... the characters were canonically in conversation with each other... the text explores what they have in common... #yknow. like stories do. #almost as if that was why jason was IN MIAS STORY IN THE FIRST PLACE #ALMOST AS IF JASON WAS THERE FOR HER CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND #WHAT DOES IT DO FOR MIAS CHARACTER IF YOU PRETEND THAT SUBTEXT ISNT THERE?
#the whole reason he could get under her skin the way he did was because of what they had in common. thats why shes so rattled #what does it benefit mia if you take that layer away lol. how does that enrich her story at all #trick question none of these ppl have given mia a single thought in their fucking lives [tags via OP, bolding mine]
god ppl trying to claim jasons "we're the not so different you and i" villain speech to mia WASNT incredibly unsubtle subtext... that they went through the same trauma... like he says theyre alike. she says he knows nothing about her. he lists what he knows. and then he repeats that they're alike.
that's only barely subtext and not text itself, man. trying to argue that isn't the intention that jason was also a csa victim is just willful misreading at that point

So I definitely misclicked because I didn't see the note at the bottom, so my actual number is...I have no idea?
Most comics I've read were either collected volumes from the library, or digital of some kind where I wasn't paying attention to beginning/end of issues, just arcs. I've probably read a handful of comics in actual floppy format?
I'd literally have to look up each run I've read, see how many issues they were, add it together, and then keep redoing that math as I remembered yet another run.
As in individual floppies, not as in runs.

Things Biden and the Democrats did, this week #10
March 15-22 2024
The EPA announced new emission standards with the goal of having more than half of new cars and light trucks sold in the US be low/zero emission by 2032. One of the most significant climate regulations in the nation’s history, it'll eliminate 7 billion tons of CO2 emissions over the next 30 years. It's part of President Biden's goal to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030 on the road to eliminating them totally by 2050.
President Biden canceled nearly 6 Billion dollars in student loan debt. 78,000 borrowers who work in public sector jobs, teachers, nurses, social workers, firefighters etc will have their debt totally forgiven. An additional 380,000 public service workers will be informed that they qualify to have their loans forgiven over the next 2 years. The Biden Administration has now forgiven $143.6 Billion in student loan debt for 4 million Americans since the Supreme Court struck down the original student loan forgiveness plan last year.
Under Pressure from the administration and Democrats in Congress Drugmaker AstraZeneca caps the price of its inhalers at $35. AstraZeneca joins rival Boehringer Ingelheim in capping the price of inhalers at $35, the price the Biden Admin capped the price of insulin for seniors. The move comes as the Federal Trade Commission challenges AstraZeneca’s patents, and Senator Bernie Sanders in his role as Democratic chair of the Senate Health Committee investigates drug pricing.
The Department of Justice sued Apple for being an illegal monopoly in smartphones. The DoJ is joined by 16 state attorneys general. The DoJ accuses Apple of illegally stifling competition with how its apps work and seeking to undermining technologies that compete with its own apps.
The EPA passed a rule banning the final type of asbestos still used in the United States. The banning of chrysotile asbestos (known as white asbestos) marks the first time since 1989 the EPA taken action on asbestos, when it passed a partial ban. 40,000 deaths a year in the US are linked to asbestos
President Biden announced $8.5 billion to help build advanced computer chips in America. Currently America only manufactures 10% of the world's chips and none of the most advanced next generation of chips. The deal with Intel will open 4 factories across 4 states (Arizona, Ohio, New Mexico, and Oregon) and create 30,000 new jobs. The Administration hopes that by 2030 America will make 20% of the world's leading-edge chips.
President Biden signed an Executive Order prioritizing research into women's health. The order will direct $200 million into women's health across the government including comprehensive studies of menopause health by the Department of Defense and new outreach by the Indian Health Service to better meet the needs of American Indian and Alaska Native Women. This comes on top of $100 million secured by First Lady Jill Biden from ARPA-H.
Democratic Senators Bob Casey, Tammy Baldwin, Sherrod Brown, and Jacky Rosen (all up for re-election) along with Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, and Sheldon Whitehouse, introduced the "Shrinkflation Prevention Act" The Bill seeks to stop the practice of companies charging the same amount for products that have been subtly shrunk so consumers pay more for less.
The Department of Transportation will invest $45 million in projects that improve Bicyclist and Pedestrian Connectivity and Safety
The EPA will spend $77 Million to put 180 electric school buses onto the streets of New York City This is part of New York's goal to transition its whole school bus fleet to electric by 2035.
The Senate confirmed President Biden's nomination of Nicole Berner to the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. Berner has served as the general counsel for America's largest union, SEIU, since 2017 and worked in their legal department since 2006. On behalf of SEIU she's worked on cases supporting the Affordable Care Act, DACA, and against the Defense of Marriage act and was part of the Fight for 15. Before working at SEIU she was a staff attorney at Planned Parenthood. Berner's name was listed by the liberal group Demand Justice as someone they'd like to see on the Supreme Court. Berner becomes one of just 5 LGBT federal appeals court judges, 3 appointed by Biden. The Senate also confirmed Edward Kiel and Eumi Lee to be district judges in New Jersey and Northern California respectively, bring the number of federal judges appointed by Biden to 188.

Shoutout to Mordechai and Esther for surviving a genocide attempt and deciding this time of the year belongs to joy. It would have been so easy to respond to that with anger or sadness or fear but instead they went. Oh. It’s springtime. It’s warm and nice and the flowers are blooming and the animals are out. And we are Alive. We should drink and celebrate and be happy. And all our people should drink and celebrate and be happy at this time of year for the rest of time. Real ones for that honestly

genuinely, the best thing about Roy and Hughes' friendship is that Roy is a brutal pragmatist who is haughty, ruthless, and often cold and Hughes is a goofball who is always friendly, cheerful, and welcoming, but Roy is the hopeful idealist and Hughes is the cynical realist

I based a set of D&D villains around the six main stats called Virtues. (think Full Metal Alchemist sins, except Strength, Constitution, Dexterity, etc..) My favorite of the bunch was Charm. Her conceit was she could persuade, lie, cheat, change appearance, and manipulate the players pretty much however she wanted, but the second someone attacked her she would go down. I introduced her relatively early into the campaign, and I was a bit nervous because I was pretty upfront about her introduction. I didn't say it explicitly, but it was pretty obvious Charm was a Virtue from the offset. I thought "well, I like this character a lot, maybe I'll cheat it a little if I have to." Surprisingly, I never did.
In retrospect, I think the context of the Charm encounters was a huge boon. The party really only confronted her twice: the first time at a dinner party and the second at a war council, where leaders from various factions met to discuss retaking the main city for the finale of the campaign. Neither were explicitly combat scenarios, and both times it would have looked pretty bad for the party if they just up and killed Charm for apparently no reason. The end result was I had villain with only eight hit points to her name run around and torment my level 16 party unpunished for several sessions. Let me tell you, as a DM, that felt amazing.
