One other possible reason for WOY’s cancellation

So I was just looking through the Cars Toons page on Pixar Wiki and I came across an unreleased short called To Protect and Serve.

It features a pair of rookie police cars - Didi 05 (voiced by Wendi McLendon-Covey (Gale in Elemental)) and Mike 07 (voiced by Aziz Ansari (Westley in Wander Over Yonder)). Looking at the plot of the short, I immediately thought of my theory of Star Force Enforcement Force being the antagonists (threats, but not villains) of S3 of WOY. The short was announced in 2015, the same year in which S3 was pitched and canceled.

The short not being released and WOY being canceled after S2 must have but one explanation: Gary Marsh, the man responsible for greenlighting projects, didn’t like portraying cops in a negative light. It’s a rather silly excuse to not show these projects to the public, don’t you think? Even police people have more to learn.

Any thoughts on this possible explanation that took me a long, long time to figure out?

Is it alright to ask for like a..recap? On the side characters of broken machine? I think it’s because I’m bad at names but like marks, Jamie, etc?

OF COURSE-- I love talking about my OCs skjbwkf There are some one-off appearances throughout the fic, so I'll limit the information below to the OCs who might appear again/be regular characters.

Allison (Allie) Marks: Marks is a newer recruit. She went on Leon's first field mission with the BSAA where Leon saved her life and has now become the 'extrovert adopts an introvert' stereotype. As of the latest chapter, is in a relationship with Jamie Wilson.

James (Jamie) Wilson: Wilson is also a newer recruit, and he also went on Leon's first field mission and also had Leon save his life. Wilson was an asshole to him just prior but apologized and asked Leon to train him -> this is what led to 'class' and Leon's army of ducklings. He recently kicked the shit out of West and is in a relationship with Allie Marks.

BSAA NA Branch Director Michael Peters (Mike, Peters): What it says on the tin. We like Peters! He's a family man who's bad at chess and good at bribing dogs with Milk Bones.

Pauline: Peters' receptionist (and also secretly his wife). Also good at bribing dogs with Milk Bones.

Combat Medic Nikhil Shaan (Nik, Shaan): A character first spawned in [like classical music], Nik is an all-around good guy who (for some reason) is always the one stitching Leon up. We also like Nik :)

Doctor Mitchell: Leon's therapist. Has a moustache.

Christina Ryan: BSAA NA's very own head librarian! She saved Leon's life once and is now good friends with him (though she despairs of his love of horror).

Elizabeth (Lizzie) Ryan: Christina's daughter and (according to her) Leon's best friend (although he's not her best friend). Enjoys stars, light-up shoes, and scaring the daylights out of her mother. Does not like spiders in her mouth.

Casey: An old friend of Peters' who rehabilitates abused animals and turns them into emotional support animals. She was the foster mother of Bingo until Leon adopted her.

Doctor Samantha (Sam) Ansari: Sam was the doctor to check Leon out after his initial transfer and was uncomfortable enough around him for the second check up to ask Chris to stay in the room. She is clearly afraid of the things that she's been hearing about him.

Now, onto the people we for sure don't like.

Captain Erica Mills [deceased]: A former Reconnaissance & Recovery (R&R) captain, Mills was a suspected serial abuser who used Leon's contract against him and forced him to perform sexual acts on her. We're glad she's dead. Rot in hell, bitch.

West: A huge asshole who no one outside of his little group of like-minded assholes likes, West tried to sexually assault Leon after Erica Mills' funeral and then almost got his arm snapped in half by Leon. After it was revealed that he also pulled similar shit with Allie Marks, he subsequently got his ass beat by Jamie Mills. We'll be seeing no more of this fucker very shortly.

Cox: A former DSO agent, Cox was in charge of Leon on a mission in Texas a number of years before 'broken machine' takes place, and almost got him killed. He was relieved that Leon's contract hadn't changed (meaning his personhood), and he'll be back.

DSO Director Bell: What it says on the tin again. Bell took over after Simmons was killed in China, immediately beginning a new regime that we see in [like classical music]. Willingly sold Leon to the BSAA for reasons heretofore unknown...

Brand: The bland man Brand is utterly average in every way, shape, and form, leaving him both unmemorable and unremarkable. He was the one who brought Leon to the BSAA initially in order to show off the goods; also shocked Leon's implant for funsies. He's Bell's second in command, also originating from [like classical music].

I think that should be everyone, but let me know if there are any characters that I missed!

#.ask #okay doing this little synopsis was actually fun. thank you for asking!

Here's why NFTs are bad:

Here are your faves who have shilled NFTs:

Names in green are people who have chosen to no longer participate in NFT projects.

Names in blue are people who sold one-off NFTs and donated proceeds to a cause, which is admittedly better than shilling NFTs but which still legitimizes the whole NFT market.

Names with an asterisk are people who have specifically promoted *and* sold NFTs, or who have been paid to promote them. Names without an asterisk are people who are simply publicly known to hold NFTs. There's a difference between getting caught up in a scam and shilling for it, and the latter is worse.

Brand new York Singles: Guide for Dating in New York

2, 2012 april Looking to impress a night out together ny City? Whether you’re brand new in town or a life-long New Yorker, here are a few fun date some ideas to consider within the ny. Dating in New York: Walk!

Ditch the car. New York has got the most mass that is extensive in the country. Explore the very pedestrian-friendly city on foot, by bike, take a cab or ride the subway. Wander through the evening’s chosen borough — The Village is a superb spot you wouldn’t notice just driving through if you love bistros, jazz clubs, and great art — and discover hole-in-the-wall gems. Dating in Nyc: Regarding The Rooftops Nyc City has some of this best high-rises on the planet. Take your date to new heights and dine over the city streets. Whenever the weather’s beautiful, the Met opens its romantic rooftop garden café on Friday and Saturday evenings. It’s a great first-date spot for sipping cocktails while you swoon over the view. The Bookmarks Lounge is a yard rooftop during the Library Hotel with great views of Midtown Manhattan, both Top for the Strand and 230 Fifth offer prime views of the Empire State Building, and ‘70s-inspired Jimmy at The James resort hands over a 360-degree view of Soho. In the event that you want a little activity in your rooftop adventures, check out City Ice Pavillion, Queens’ only rooftop rink. Dating in Ny: The Big Green An outdoor date in New York City should be an obvious one with over 28,000 acres of municipal parkland. Central Park, the world-famous 883-acre park Manhattan is the many visited park in the nation and for valid reason: Ice rinks, the Central Park Zoo, the Central Park Conservatory Garden, Belvedere Castle, Swedish Cottage Marionette Theatre, and the historic Carousel all call it home. Get for a stroll, have a picnic, splurge on a carriage trip, or pull out your rollerblades for an enjoyable, affordable date that celebrates your beautiful city. Some other green spaces worth visiting: Prospect Park in Brooklyn, Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens, nyc Botanical Gardens in the Bronx, and Washington Square Park in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village. Dating in Ny: Fun, Fun, Fun Dating in New York City doesn’t need certainly to be severe. Enjoy some flirty/competitive laser label at NYC Paintball in Queens. Play ping-pong at SPiN. Revisit childhood board that is favorite while ingesting adult beverages at East Village’s Common Ground. The Whiskey Brooklyn has a great game space, complete with arcade games, photo foosball and booth. Cheer on your team — seven screens follow most major league sports — while you challenge your date at Shuffleboard. Embrace your internal preschooler whenever you meet up for drinks, and drink on Momofuku Milk Bar’s addicting “Cereal Milk.” (To complement: try the “Compost Cookie.”) Laugh the night away at Greenwich Village’s famous Comedy Cellar. You might also catch a shock performance by a comedy legend. (Chris Rock and Aziz Ansari have been proven to show up unannounced.) If you prefer your fun— that is cheap free — you’re in luck: Complimentary plays and performances that are musical to Summerstage in Central Park every summer. Magnet Theater offers intro that is free Improv classes. BAFcaf in Brooklyn hosts free jazz/world/R&B that is live weekend. And you’ll find The After Party, a free Broadway-inspired open mike, in the basement of Laurie Beechman Theater in Midtown every Friday. Dating in Nyc: Get Cultured It’s been called “the cultural capital of the world.” New York City is a world-class contender in art, cuisine, opera, theater, music, museums, fashion, literature, and independent film. There’s no shortage of museums to go to, music to enjoy, or fashion to covet. Enigma’s mystery that is outdoor will just take you on a walking tour of historic Brooklyn Heights. And Sleep No More will draw you in as a member of its masked, moving audience. Get inspired by contemporary art at the MoMa — there’s always a exhibit that is new lining up for — or visit the former mansion of steel magnate Henry Clay Frick in the Upper East Side to ooh and aah over the Frick Collection, an impressive compilation of paintings and sculptures by some of Europe’s best artists. Dating in Brand New York: Learn This has been claimed that you learn something new every day. Make your date an educational one and take a class together. Foodies can make their pizza at Pizza a Casa Pizza School, perfect French macarons at Mille-Feuille Bakery Cafe’s workshop, or — if you’re comfortable with each other and planning that is you’re #31, maybe not Date # 1 — concoct a sensual meal for 2 courtesy of Appetite for Seduction. Chocoholics, try your hand at making chocolate at JoMart Chocolates. Artsy folks will appreciate Paint Along, a two-hour paint class that lets you drink — it’s BYOB — while you create. Graffiti artist Jesse Edwards offers an class that is introductory graffiti art, tagging and lettering. And at Mud, perspiration and Tears, you can reenact that scene that is infamous Ghost while you make your own pottery. If you’d rather be an action hero than Patrick Swayze, just take your date to Westside Rifle & Pistol where you’ll uncover to shoot .22 caliber rifles together. Dating in Ny: Stylish Keep things casual — and bet-a-beer worthy — by deciding on a stylish date. Cheer on the Yankees, Mets, Giants, Jets, Rangers, Knicks, or Red Bulls either during the game or at a sports bar. If you prefer sports live, but would additionally rather save yourself your hard earned money, check out some minor hockey. The Brooklyn Aces tickets that are a fraction of the Rangers’. If you would rather be active than watch others, you can perfect your swing at Chelsea Piers’ heated driving range, hone your competitive Skee-Ball skills at Full Circle Bar (the national home of Brewskee-Ball), rent a rowboat at the Loeb Boathouse in Central Park, embrace your inner Robin Hood at Pro Line Archery Lanes, or spend the entire evening at Brooklyn Bowl, where you can bowl, dine and dance at a single venue. Dating in New York: Touristy Simply because you call New York home doesn’t mean that you can’t be a tourist in your own backyard. Channel the ending that is romantic of in Seattle — spoiler alert! — and meet your date at the very top of this Empire State Building. Where haven’t you been? Ice skate at Rockefeller Center, or ride the Wonder Wheel on Coney Island. Be a young kid again at FAO Schwartz. Attend the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade (or the Halloween Parade in Greenwich Village) day. Line up for Broadway rush seats. Get an education that is international the United Nations Headquarters. Enjoy cheap drinks on the (free!) Staten Island ferry as you check out the nation’s most statue that is famous. Celebrate your city as visitors do. Dating in New York: Old-School Living in the past? Arrange a retro date. Brand new York was considered a center for jazz within the ‘40s, and still remains a hot spot for live jazz every night of the week. Check out tiny jazz wine and joint bar Louis 649 in the East Village, or Cleopatra’s Needle on the Upper West Side. Take swing dance lessons at Dance Manhattan Studios, then head to Raines Law Room, Death + Company, or Apothéke, all modern-day speakeasies. Cobble Hill’s Clover Club feels as though it belongs in the 1920s, along with its walls that are paneled retro cocktails and jazz criteria and ballads serenading clients every Wednesday evening. Skip a couple decades and walk into The Astor Room, a supper that is‘40s-themes, complete with live jazz piano and cocktails named for Hollywood legends. McSorley’s Old Ale House is the oldest tavern that is irish the city, dating back to the mid-1800s. The floors are covered in sawdust, and the faded American flag hanging through the entryway has only 48 stars. Order a beer — dark or light are your only options — and sit back when the bartender slams the half pints down on your slightly table that is sticky. There’s only one rule here: Be good or be gone. Dating in New York: Movie Night Want to catch a movie? Your city is the world leader in independent film production; so for a memorable night out, choose for something only a little less commercial. If you’re still searching for that perfect retro night out, Williamsburg’s one-screen Spectacle Theater frequently screens silent films, accompanied by live music. You’ll find rare films and cult classics here, too. In the spring, the Tribeca Film Festival takes over Lower Manhattan. Catch a screening that includes a Q&A with your favorite director and try to predict which flicks will become award-season darlings later in the year. The retro Brooklyn Heights Cinema showcases independent, international and films that are art-house. As an added draw, they have a cappuccino bar — and offer their specialty that is in-house coke! At the Film Forum is New York’s just autonomous nonprofit cinema. The cinema that is three-screen works by emerging filmmakers, international art movies, US classics, and retrospectives. Here you’ll find films that other theaters would take a chance n’t on. At Nitehawk Cinema, the go-to date of dinner and a movie is combined into a delicious (and boozy, if you so choose) movie-going experience. Enjoy tableside food and beverage service — nightly specials are concocted to complement your movie choice — as you watch independent films and favorites that are cult.

Compare to the first two, this was unfunny and boring. If you have kids under 8, then go for it. You won’t like it, but they will enjoy it. The plot was fine, but the adult jokes are horrible and the gags even for the kids are stupid.

OFF-TOPIC: All the Rage

Dave Chappelle has just released his latest stand-up special on Netflix, Sticks & Stones.  This stand-up special comes after four other comedy specials that have been beleaguered with criticism over Chappelle’s material about the LGBTQ+ community, particularly transgender people, and about the women who accused Louis CK of sexual misconduct.  And Sticks & Stones has attracted just as much controversy as any of Chappelle’s other Netflix specials if not more.

And that’s by design.

The special opens up with this quote from Kendrick Lamar’s “DNA”

Tell me somethin’ / You mothafuckas can’t tell me nothin’ / I’d rather die than to listen to you…

In Sticks & Stones, Dave Chappelle sets himself up as some kind of defiant martyr fighting the good fight against so-called “cancel culture” or any moral busybodies who get offended by any jokes he or any of his other comedian friends might have told at any point.  Many of those who express praise and enthusiasm towards Sticks & Stones defend it on similar grounds, writing off any criticism of it as people being “too sensitive”, “offended”, and “trying to cancel Dave Chappelle”.

Enough dancing around the subject.  I found the special really tired and juvenile.  What he’s doing here is thumbing his nose at any critic who had dared to take issue with anything he has said in his prior Netflix special in a way that eschews the thoughtfulness that Chappelle is capable of for petulance.  That might have been okay if it was funny regardless, but I didn’t think it was.  A better version of what Chappelle tried to do here was more than 30 years ago, in Eddie Murphy: Raw.  Eddie Murphy opened up this special complaining about criticism he got for his last special from Mr. T, Michael Jackson, and the gay community with much funnier jokes.  The crescendo of this bit was his brilliant story of Bill Cosby calling him on the phone to browbeat him about his foul language.

A bunch of the critics praising Sticks & Stones are calling it revelatory and a breath of fresh air in this moment of time.  Really?  All this is is Chappelle’s version of “PC gone mad” in response to criticism, which is not a novel concept.  Carlos Mencia’s whole shtick 15 years ago was to crack jokes using racial stereotypes and then spend the next ten minutes guilt tripping the audience into laughing by expressing faux-martyrdom aggrievement over “political correctness” or “sensitivity”.  This is as cliche a comedy staple as “take my wife, please”.  Other comedians who have gone this exact same angle include Jerry Seinfeld, Roseanne Barr, Larry the Cable Guy, Ricky Gervais, Bill Maher, Chris Rock, Andrew Dice Clay, Lil Duval, Jim Norton, Patrice O’Neal, Nick DaPaolo, Joe Rogan, Doug Stanhope, Rob Schneider, Lisa Lampanelli, Eddie Griffin, John Cleese, George Carlin, Aziz Ansari, Sarah Silverman, DL Hughley, Tracy Morgan, Adam Carolla, Amy Schumer, Tim Allen, Aries Spears, Russell Peters, Redd Foxx, Dennis Miller, Mike Epps, Patton Oswalt, Jeff Dunham, Sam Kinison, and Louis CK just to name a few.

Despite this being a cliche, I think taking the angle Dave Chappelle took here is more expedient for himself than ever.  A part of the reason is because our society has become more politically polarizing than ever.  A lot of the discourse around Sticks & Stones falls along politically partisan lines (yes, I know that includes myself too).  Most of the people defending Dave Chappelle so ardently are right-wing pundits/publications like Breitbart, Dana Loesch, and Gavin McInnes and most of the people criticizing Chappelle are liberal/pro-LGBTQ+ publications.  Chappelle and his defenders are using this special as a denouncing of “cancel culture”.  I hate that term and I hate the framing around it even more because it’s so vaguely defined other than the fact that it’s nakedly partisan.  The screeds against “cancel culture” are not so subtle digs at the left and reinforce a narrative that the left wants to censor everything and that the right are the true defenders of free speech and free expression.  It’s weird that the “cancel culture” designation never applies when the right-wing gets upset about Nike, Gillette, or Keurig coffee makers.

I think a better name for all of this is “outrage culture” and it’s nonpartisan.  So much of our public discourse is handled on social media, particularly Twitter, that rewards shorter and more attention-grabbing hot takes over lengthy, nuanced analysis.  And one of the easiest ways to grab attention is by being outrageous or inflammatory.  In response, online publications of all political stripes write their headlines in inflammatory ways that grab attention in order to be shared on social media.  Even if the actual article has more nuance to it, most people don’t read past the splashy headline anyway.  In regards to politics, it has further defined people, whatever their personal views may be, in reaction to what they aren’t or what they disagree with.  It’s partially why so many people have blamed things like the 2016 Ghostbusters film or Star Wars: The Last Jedi as the reason they voted for Trump or why they’ll vote for Trump again.  It’s also why so many of the people praising Sticks & Stones so zealously have attempted to use it as a rallying cry for Trump and Trumpism.  This also goes for any liberals who expressed a desire to buy Nikes or Gillette razors after the right-wing meltdown over them.

Sticks & Stones was a rallying cry to anybody that has defined themselves or their politics to being anti-politically correct (which isn’t only right-wingers, but largely encompasses right-wingers) to look to Dave Chappelle as a hero to wrap themselves around.  I felt the same way about Louis CK’s stand-up “comeback” where he mocked school shooting survivors, millenials, and non-binary kids.  CK was hugely popular on college campuses and liberal crowds despite never being “politically correct”.  He was also often very thoughtful in the way he towed that fine line when tackling touchy subjects.  But in light of his sexual misconduct scandal, he must have figured that he permanently burned a bridge with that crowd so he pivoted to a crowd that doesn’t care that he sexually harassed multiple women.  This same crowd also tends not to think too highly of the Parkland shooting survivors for their gun control activism or trans and non-binary people.

The thing is, Dave Chappelle and Louis CK don’t give a damn about any of these right-wingers or their pro-Trump causes.  They’re just looking out for number one.  Breitbart wouldn’t write fawning articles about Chappelle if the focus was on him expressing discomfort over a white person’s laughter over a blackface sketch he was doing on his show.  They wouldn’t rally around Louis CK either if he was still telling jokes expressing confusion as to why women would want to date men based off violence against women statistics.  Conversely, Nike and Gillette don’t actually give a damn about putting an end to police brutality or toxic masculinity.  If they were to discover that they could make more money off of using “Blue Lives Matter” sentiment or objectifying women, they would do it in a heartbeat.  This is all this whole shit is.

I suppose that’s ultimately the joke in all of this.  I don’t find it very funny, but I suppose I’m just too sensitive, right?
