NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters trust because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital. CHUCK SCHUMER (behind sniper rifle): Found one PELOSI: Take the shot

It really is 2003 again Jesus Tapdancing Christ.

Like, all Republicans did was replace Iraq and gay people with Iran and trans people.

One thing I've learned, after almost thirty years of putting creative work out there, is that if you accomplish anything on the internet, there's a certain kind of person who becomes obsessively jealous about it, because he's never accomplished anything in his entire life.

You can, to make up an example, draw one pretty good drawing of a cartoon skunk, and there's somebody who will dedicate the rest of his life to thinking about k-wording you. "That should have been me," he will think. "I should have been the one to draw that one pretty good drawing of a cartoon skunk." He (it's usually he) will print out photos of you to hate and build elaborate hate shrines. He might post a hundred times about you in one night.

He will post on obscure hate forums claiming that the two of you went to elementary school together (you are not the same age). He will sometimes claim you're stalking him and are outside his window right now (you have never been in the same state, or the same country). He will spend all his time making up stories about how terrible your life must be, because he is thinking about how much he hates you all the time. (His life is the terrible one, because he is using his brain for this, but that doesn't occur to him.)

The only thing he actually knows about you is that you drew one pretty good drawing of a cartoon skunk. But that drives him nuts because he knows he'll never do anything like that. Because he's chosen to be a hater.

A certain percentage of the internet is guys like this. I'm used to it at this point. I find it funny.

Most of these guys are now addicted to ChatGPT, and are making ChatGPT tell them that they are Gods with full control over all the powers of the universe. ChatGPT is probably giving them my home address right now. ChatGPT is probably getting the address wrong.

A guy on deviantart wrote tons of words picking apart my personality and life based entirely on what he gleaned from hate threads and it even literally included "advice" to go outside and enjoy nature instead of always being on the internet. You know, that activity I post all the time and he would have seen I post all the time if he actually evaluated who I am based on my own posts.

interesting how it's always "iranian regime" and never "israeli regime" and definetly never "iran, where the us and uk overthrew a democratically elected leader because the iranian parliment voted to nationalise iranian oil to stop foreign countries profiting off of their resources, with the western powers' actions ultimatly leading to the islamic republic of iran that they so fear"

Hi. I edited the Recobbled Cut. The film was originally set in Persia (versus India), but was gradually changed to a fictional Golden City. Miramax said Baghdad, probably to make the film less popular.

Very cool! Thank you! :D

And that does fit better with the style choices, too, I just figured it was artistic license— personally, Baghdad was an interesting enough choice that I was into it as a kid; plus I watched a lot of Harryhausen. But keeping in mind Disney’s Aladdin was set in the fictional Agrabah, and the 1st Gulf War/Operation Desert Storm was still going on in Iraq at the time that Disney/Miramax bought out Thief and the Cobbler, that setting-change as a smear makes a lot of sense. (It’s gross, and in line with a lot of the low blows indicative of their entire process in handling this film, but it makes a lot of sense.)

Did you know Richard Williams' animated film "The Thief and the Cobbler" is set in fictionalized ancient Iran, a nation which a certain idiot in chief has just bombed?
