A PPG Reboot in Development with Craig McCracken  back at the helm.
Tumblr media
Source
"The Powerpuff Girls reboot will expand on the original series with Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup set to go head-to-head with franchise favorite villains as well as new threats. The original series debuted in 1998 and won two Emmys during its 78-episode run"
"Cartoon Network Studios, Warner Bros. Animation, and Hanna-Barbera Studios Europe president Sam Register said in a release: “The Hanna-Barbera homecoming of Craig was an opportunity we could not pass up. Along with his unparalleled sense of fun and imagination"
I’ll say that I feel much safer with Craig manning the ship again, but man am I ever cautious after the disaster that was PPG 2016. Cartoon Network execs better not screw this up.

“convenient chances” 🎱

LIKE A DUNGEON with fear cementing every corner, you struggle to savor the silence in your waking life.
Doubting all and believing none, your close friend Sunoo convinced you that your nervous aches and night sweats were a mere result of paranoia. He always judged the way you’d peek over your shoulder in public as if waiting to be attacked.
Clicking sounds from your window startled your rest during the night, with nightmares of seven tall hooded strangers blinding your judgement.
You're sure everyone's experienced the phenomenon of “gaze perception” at least once in their lives, in which a person might sense or assume that a pair of predatory eyes are stalking them from afar.
You didn’t like to use the word trauma to define your past experiences, but this wasn’t your first time feeling like a cloud of trouble waited to pour down on you. At this point, all you could do was hope that your intuition wasn’t right this time.
It was only a few months ago when you broke up with your abusive ex-boyfriend, Jay. The memories still linger as if they occurred yesterday, freshly cryptic in your mind. From your point of view, he started off as a charming casual acquaintance, which soon developed into a crush and then a toxic relationship. He outlined a list of rules for you to follow when he was away, ordering you around like a child. Anytime you even came close to breaking one of his orders, he’d beat the shit out of you, saying that his rage was out of love.
From Jay’s point of view, you weren’t just an obsession, but a belonging—his favorite humanoid toy to play with. He threatened that if you ever left him, he’d come back for you one day, saying that he’d never stop watching you.
And so, you moved. Not far, but a good distance away. You didn’t feel protected anymore in your usual environment. Though, there was one place in which you felt completely safe—free from watchful eyes and hostile hands. It was the tatty old convenience store a few blocks from where you live. The place hadn’t developed much since what appeared to be a decade or two ago, but they always supplied the most tasty, high quality snacks you could get your hands on.
As silly as it may sound, the fallout shop was your haven, and you grew particularly fond of shopping there late at night when it was less crowded.
You walked passed the familiar electronic doors, the fluorescent ceiling lights sparkling off of the bleach-mopped tiles. The usually uplifting radio station was replaced with the chilling whoosh of air circulating through the vents.
“Hello! Welcome to Goldman’s 24-hour convenience,” a friendly accented voice chimed. “Hello,” you returned with a nod, a bit confused by the new face. The usual cashier was an elder women by the name of Mandy. Her laughter alone could make some of your darkest nights glimmer again.
The young man wore a name tag on his dark blue collared shirt: Jake. You couldn’t help but wonder why Mandy wasn’t working her usual night shift, but you didn’t care enough to interrogate the seemingly content boy.
Picking up a hand basket, you explored the aisle's shelves in search for something savory or sweet to snack on. Your gaze swiveled ahead of you before landing on the sight of two hooded strangers blocking your path. This time, a bit of their faces showed, revealing the devious smirks that spoke so many silent words through their sealed lips:
You can run, but you can’t hide from us, ____. For as long as we live, you’re not allowed to feel safe anywhere.
Goosebumps sprouted on the surface of your skin, nerves dancing around in your fingers until they became wobbling rods. It’s almost like you forgot to breathe due to the overwhelming terror, feeling frozen from within as the plastic basket slipped from your grasp, a loud clatter echoing throughout the store.
You remembered all of the horrible things Jay said he would do to you once he found you again. The bruises you concealed with makeup that Jay referred to as his "strawberry kisses” would have nothing on what you felt was coming your way.
“Are you okay, miss?” A kind male voice asked, snatching you from your trance and back to reality. You turned to meet the man behind you, revealing his concerned yet warm features. He picked up the basket you dropped, still processing that your mind successfully tricked you into seeing something that wasn’t actually there.
“Yes, I’m alright, t-thank you,” you smiled but it didn’t reach your eyes, looking more awkward than reassuring.
He pressed three finger's against your forehead, “I don’t think you’re being honest with me,” he frowned, your hot and damp forehead telling him that something was wrong. “I’m sorry, I haven’t even introduced myself yet,” he stuck out one hand for you to shake and the other to pass you back your basket. “My name is Heeseung,” he smiled, “I’m new in town with an affinity for convenience stores.”
“____, with an affinity to drop flimsy baskets in public,” you replied, suddenly feeling at ease from the humor. You started trailing to the ramen section and Heeseung was walking behind you. If it wasn’t for his kindness earlier, you’d probably be freaking out about how close he was. You reached for a spicy udon noodle pack that came with dehydrated tofu and seaweed sheets. Meanwhile, Heeseung grabbed a can of Spam and chicken flavored ramen.
“Speaking of your liking for convenience stores, I come here almost every night and I’ve never seen you before.“
“Well, yeah, I’m usually here earlier in the day. I just happened to need some gas and got hungry while waiting, so I decided to stop by for my favorites,” he peered into your basket, "You might wanna get some milk with those, too. It's ungodly how spicy they are!"
"I know, right? They're just so delicious, I can't resist them..."
"Still, Sapporo Ichiban instant noodles are the best! They always cook perfectly. Never too soft or too firm. It's my comfort food, honestly. I wanna hug the person who created them," he replied passionately.
"Eh, you're just gonna ruin 'em anyways."
He gave you a double look, "Are you passively judging my cooking skills or fat shaming me?"
"Neither. I'm shaming that pink block of salt you're gonna punish your organs with."
He scoffed, "This anti-Spam movement is outrageous! I'm starting an online protest where you'll be the number one convert."
"As if I'd ever try that...stuff," you rejected.
"Welp. More for me, I guess," he mumbled, digging into his jacket pocket.
“Dammit, I forgot my wallet in my car,” he said, placing his basket high up on the shelf. “If you see anyone try to take my stuff, kick ‘em in the shin for me,” he said before running out of the shop.
Analyzing your surroundings, you noticed that a few groups of shoppers and some solo snackers began raiding the bread aisle. You distracted yourself by heading to the refrigerator section, considering Heeseung’s recommendation of getting a smooth beverage to accompany your spicy noodles, tossing in a pack of strawberry flavored Pocky's on your way.
That’s when you felt an arm wrap around your waist, pulling you in before giving your head a sniff, his nose was wet and cold like a dog as he inhaled your scent. “What the hell are you doing?” You barked, pushing the creepy stranger away.
He was a middle aged man with a receding hairline and a few scars decorating his thin chapped lips. You wondered how many of those scares came from women he tried that “arm around the waist” shit on.
“Sorry, doll. I’m a hugger and figured you might've needed one,” he grinned, revealing the gnarly set of teeth that lined his grey gums. You couldn't tell if it was his foul breath or filthy clothes that smelled more like smoke. Either way, you were thoroughly disgusted by him.
“Well, you should learn to ask before throwing yourself on people,” you retorted, reaching for a container of banana milk.
“You like swallowing bananas, cutie? I bet I could force four of 'em down that pretty mouth of yours,” he slithered while adjusting himself in his pants.
What the hell is wrong with this guy, you thought to yourself.
You tried to ignore his lunacy, only for him to grip your ass like a stress ball, landing a harsh slap across the curve of your jeans. You yelped at the sting, your own words being caught in your throat from the shocking act. You couldn’t believe that this freak actually just did that to you.
He met your eyes with a wink, smelling his hand as if you just provided him with an expensive perfume sample, "You got a lover at home, sweetheart?"
Tears dared to pour from your rage-ridden eyes as you balled your fists so tight, your bones might break. That's when a protective figure filled your blurry peripheral vision, stepping in front of you to block the man off as he tried grabbing you again, pushing him with such a force that he lost his balance.
“The hell do you think you’re doing, y'scrawny mother fucker,” he growled, pulling up is pants.
“You can’t do that kind of sick shit to people, pervert! Now get the hell outta here or I'll call the police,” the younger boy fought back.
“I was just trying to have some fun, kiddo. Ain’t nothin' wrong with that. I bet honey doll misses me already,” the older man went on, licking at his lower lip.
“I’ll knock every last rotting tooth from your mouth if you don’t leave in the next five seconds-"
“Hey, what’s going on over here?” Jake asked in the middle of the commotion, the older man already fleeing the scene. Jake looked at the younger boy first before eventually meeting your eyes. You wish you could hide how shaken up you felt. The container of milk was bleeding out its strong banana scent on the once spotless floor, tears finally streaming down your cheeks.
“Oh my God, Jungwon, what happened,” Heeseung came running over, asking the boy who defended you. “It was nothing,” you interrupted before Jungwon could answer, the three boys standing dumbfounded around you in a puddle of banana milk. “Do you need a ride-" “Don’t worry about me,” your voice cracked in embarrassment.
Is there any way to explain how the world made you ashamed of your own tears?
You left your basket behind, apologizing to Jake who had to clean up the sticky mess. You didn’t wanna leave just yet, afraid that the older guy might be waiting for you outside, so you went to the ladies restroom instead to call your friend Sunoo.
“____?”
You cleared the lump in your throat before answering, “Sunoo,” you began shakily, “I need you to come and pick me up from Goldman's.”
“You sound terrible, is everything okay? You’re worrying me, what happened?”
“I’m sorry, Sun. Everything’s okay, I just really need you right now.”
“____,” he sighed. You suddenly felt guilty for even calling him.
“Sunoo, if you can’t make it, I won’t be mad at you,” you said in between the silence, trying to encourage him to make a choice.
“I-I can’t, well, I can, but, not soon, at least. I’m only an hour away, if you’re willing to wait that long.” The pity in his voice made you wanna cry all over again. Looking at the time on your phone, it was six minutes til midnight, and you refused to haul your best friend out on the road this late. “No, that’s alright, Sunoo. I’ll just call an Uber.”
His side of the phone fell quiet for a moment. “____, I know how much you hate Uber's. Don't do that to yourself because of me."
"I'll be okay, Sun, just get yourself some rest."
He paused before asking, "Are you sure?”
“Yeah. I’ll talk to you later, okay?”
“Of course! Call me when you get home!”
You finished up in the bathroom, mentally preparing yourself to face the strangers beyond the not-so-comforting walls of the restroom. To your surprise, Heeseung and Jungwon were still in the store. Huddled around Jake at the checkout counter, the three of them took loud sips from steaming cups of ramen. “Hey, ____,” Heeseung began, resting his snack on the counter. “We could help you file a report against that guy, if you want.”
Jungwon met your eyes with his own sincere ones, “He should pay for the way he treated you.” Jake put your basket from earlier on the counter, dry items taking the place of the previously wet ones.
“Do you still want these," he asked shyly. After everything that happened, you felt empty in more than one way. Some warm broth and noodles is exactly what your body needed at the moment. You nodded, handing Jake a $20 bill. Beeping sounds immediately met your ears as he scanned your items with a strange haste. You looked back to Heeseung and Jungwon.
“Getting the police involved will only make it harder for me to forget this ever even happened. Thank you for your concern, though,” you smile at the humble pair before they took the final gulps from their ramen cups before discarding them.
“Here’s your change,” Jake chirped, handing you the plastic bag of goodies. “Thank you,” you bowed, heading to the exit.
“Y'sure you don't need a ride?” Jungwon asked. You flashed him your phone screen. “Uber,” was all you said before walking into the black of the night, the sliding doors closing behind you.
According to your smartphone, you should expect your chauffeur, Sunghoon, to arrive shortly in a black truck with tinted windows. The vehicle came speeding through the parking lot, a chill wind hitting your features. The truck was so dark, that it almost blended into the night. He rolled down the window, looking you up and down.
"Name?"
"Uh, ____," you said, his blunt question catching you off guard.
"Get in," he replied, directing a thumb to the back seat, unlocking the door as you slid in, bumping into another passenger. Immediately caught by his dark eyes, the boy waved slightly, muttering a deep “Welcome aboard,” before fixing his gaze out the window again. The truck sat idly as Sunghoon delayed taking off, exchanging a few hushed words to the guy sitting in the front passenger's seat.
Click.
The backseat doors opened from both ends, Heeseung, Jungwon, and Jake joining you in the black vehicle. "Scoot over, Niki," Jungwon complained, trying to get comfortable in the crammed space. That's when you saw one last person join you all in the truck, his face capturing the moonlight like a thief.
"Sunoo?! W-what are you doing here? I thought you were an hour away!" All he did was frown in response. He always made that face whenever he was hiding something from you. "Sunoo," you pressed, nudging his shoulder.
"Oh please, would you just shut the hell up already," the hostile driver growled at you.
You screwed your eyes brows in confusion, "What's going on here," you inquired, now feeling anxiety start to creep up on you.
"The very thing I warned you about before you abandoned me," the front passenger bit back.
That voice. You knew exactly who it belonged to.
It was Jay, your looney ex-lover, sitting right in front of you. An angry yet pitiful scowl contaminated his handsome features.
You pushed through Heeseung, reaching for the door handle, only for Niki, the quietest yet scariest one, to snatch your wrist, pulling you into his tantalizing grip. "Let me go," you yelped, only for Jungwon to harshly cover your mouth.
Screech.
Sunghoon pulled off at a dangerous speed, causing your bodies to shake in the truck. Heeseung crossed his legs cooly as if he wasn't just casually talking with you in the store, “So when do we get to have fun with her, again? It’s not like she did any good entertaining me through conversation.”
Jake rolled his eyes at Heeseung, “I could’ve used your enthusiasm when I had to stuff that fat old chick in the freezer. Alone. On top of that, I had to mop the floor quintillion times before the blood stains got out.”
“At least you’d make a good house husband,” Sunghoon joked.
You felt your heart sink to the pit of your stomach at Jake’s confession: He killed Mandy.
"I'm sorry, ____," Sunoo whispered, fighting back tears as he hid his face from you.
Everything was starting to make sense now.
The visions of seven hooded boys.
The clicking sounds you'd hear from outside your window at night.
The way you could never shake the feeling that you were being watched.
Jay’s past words echoed in the back of your mind:
"If you ever decide to leave me, don't ever think that you'll get very far before I catch up. I'll always be watching you."
You bit Jungwon's hand, causing him to retreat his palm from your flushed face. "Sunoo, you betrayed me! You told me that I was paranoid when you knew exactly what was going on behind my back! I felt safe with you...I trusted you! And you fucking lied to me!"
"God, I've had just about enough of her nagging," Niki said, landing a fisted blow across your face. As you faded out of consciousness, Jay tried to soothe your daze.
“Even though I betrayed you and beat you, it was only my funny way of expressing how much I love you. Can’t you see that I did all of that out of love?”
You could still hear Sunoo pleading for your forgiveness in the background as you held onto the last strand of your consciousness.
"I've been watching you for a long time, love. You always try to escape me and I never understood why you just wouldn't listen to me. All I've ever done is love you and try to protect you. This time, I’ll make sure you’ve learned your lesson.”
And that was the last thing you heard before retreating to the vacancy of your mind, floating around in the silence of your oblivion. Left in the hands of seven reckless boys who’d successfully lured you into their cat trap, you didn’t know what to expect once you’d open your eyes, but you knew it wouldn’t be anything good.
In that time, you came to the unsettling conclusion that broken toys were Jay’s favorite, and if you weren’t already broken upon being found, you would be by time he’s done playing with you.

Books I’d recommend to Greta Van Fleet. As a librarian I’m qualified for this and it’s fun!
Josh: Anything by Arthur C Clarke, even though I’m sure he’s read them because he likes 2001: Space Odyssey; The Time Machine by HG Wells; Dune by Frank Herbert; Something Like an Autobiography by Akira Kurosawa
Jake: Tolkiens other books (he has a great King Arthur book called The Fall of Arthur 10/10), The Republic of Pirates by Colin Woodard; Anne Bonny by Phillip Thomas; The Princess Bride by William Goldman; Jimi by Janie Hendrix
Danny: This was a little harder, but; Slash: The Autobiography by Slash; The Greatest Game Ever Played by Mark Frost; Sympathy for the Drummer by Mike Edison; The Body by Stephen King; Just Kids by Patti Smith
Sam: Just Kids by Patti Smith; Dune by Frank Herbert; The View From Space (it’s a NASA book); The Secret World of Stargazing by Adrian West; Laurel Canyon: The Inside Story by Mike Walker; Morning Glory on the Vine by Joni Mitchell; Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls
Bonus: All: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen; I Put a Spell on You by Nina Simone; Revenge of the She-Punks: A Feminist Music History by Vivien Goldman

Former GOP House Speaker Paul Ryan doesn't believe Rep. George Santos of New York will be able to hold onto his seat in the House of Representatives.
Before the midterm elections, The North Shore Leader published a story questioning Santos's source of income and real estate holdings. Before being sworn into Congress last week, The New York Times published a report revealing that he fabricated a large chunk of his resume. Reports continued to trickle out revealing he was dishonest about his life experiences, background, and more.
The revelations have led to calls for his resignation.
Ryan, who decided not to seek reelection in 2018 after serving as House Speaker, was asked about Santos by CNN's Jake Tapper on Thursday.
"Congressman George Santos, he's lied about apparently everything on his resumé," Tapper said to Ryan, capping off a 12-minute interview. "At least six House Republicans have said he should resign, including five New York Republicans. Do you agree?"
"Sure, I agree," Ryan responded. "My guess is they'll probably let the Ethics Committee run its course."
Reps. Daniel Goldman and Ritchie Torres of New York filed an official complaint to the House Ethics committee seeking an investigation into Santos, The New York Times reported Tuesday.
"It's a fraudulent candidacy. This isn't an embellished candidacy, it's a fraudulent candidacy," Ryan added. "He hoaxed his voters. So, of course, he should step down."
Santos is the subject of campaign-finance-related complaints and is under investigation by New York prosecutors. He is also being investigated in Brazil on allegations that he used stolen checks. Still, Santos has made it clear on multiple occasions that he has no interest in stepping down.
"He doesn't strike me as an honorable person, though. I don't know the guy," Ryan said before the close of the interview. "I can't imagine the guy is going to stay very long."
Santos did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
Rep. George Santos refused to resign Wednesday despite a parade of Republican Nassau County officials demanding he step down.
Officials from across Santos’ Long Island district and beyond gathered at the headquarters of the Nassau County Republican Committee to offer biting critiques of the newly sworn-in Republican. Critically, they pledged to cut Santos’ local support system off at the knees after he fabricated much of his resume and backstory during a successful Congressional campaign last year.
Santos “is a stain on the House of Representatives. He’s a stain on the 3rd Congressional District,” Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman said at a media briefing. He added that he told his staff that any constituent calls to Congress “will now be referred to Congressman Anthony D’Esposito.”
D’Esposito, a Republican who represents a neighboring district, dialed into the press conference remotely to also call for Santos’ ouster. And later in the day, outgoing state GOP chair Nick Langworthy, a newly elected House member, said too that Santos should go.
“It’s clear that he cannot be an effective representative and it would be in the best interest of the taxpayers to have new leadership,” Langworthy said in a statement.
While the briefing was nominally aimed at Santos, the Nassau County GOP also appeared to be worried that their association with the controversial first-term representative could hurt their chances at expanding on recent electoral gains. The 3rd Congressional District that Santos just won, for example, was formerly held by Democrat Tom Suozzi.
“This scandalous behavior does damage to all of our reputations because there is a part of our public that is cynical about politicians and public officials,” said Richard Nicolello, the presiding officer of the Nassau County Legislature.
Speaker after speaker took to the microphone at the Westbury, N.Y., headquarters with unsparing criticism of Santos — and some expressed hurt that Santos had lied to them personally during endorsement interviews.
“We got into it, started getting personal about the fact that he came from a poor background but that he was able to be very successful,” Nassau County GOP Chair Joseph Cairo Jr. said. “He told me, I remember specifically, I’m into sports a little bit — that he was a star on the Baruch [College] volleyball team, that they won the league championship.”
Santos never attended Baruch.
With so many speakers pledging to ice out Santos and deny him support for any reelection campaign, Wednesday’s announcement cemented that any future bid by Santos to stay in the seat would be incredibly difficult.
Yet, Santos told reporters at the Capitol on Wednesday morning that he has no plans to resign. He also repeated that assertion in a tweet, adding that he regrets “to hear that local officials refuse to work with my office.”
The same day, Speaker Kevin McCarthy told reporters he wouldn’t sit Santos on any of the “A Committees” — including more powerful panels such as Judiciary, Ways and Means and Budget, which typically don’t go to first-term lawmakers anyway. It’s still unclear if Santos will be seated on committees at all, as some of his GOP colleagues have called to totally exclude him from panel spots.
McCarthy still hasn’t publicly signaled how he plans to handle Santos’ fabrications internally.
But other House Republicans stopped short of calling for Santos to resign, and instead are leaving it to the Ethics Committee to investigate.
“Well, I believe in due process, so let’s let the process work itself through,” said Rep. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.). Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-N.C.) echoed similar sentiments to POLITICO. Hudson, who sits on the House GOP Steering Committee that lays out committee assignments, says that Santos will still be receiving his. “You’re innocent until proven guilty.”
Santos has lied about everything from where he went to college to his Jewish ancestry. He’s being investigated by local, state and federal authorities.

⭐️ and the director's cut of Jake and Cherry's first meeting? 😄
thank you for sending this in!! would love to talk about this!
so! Cherry and Jake meeting for the first time was something that I didn't even plan on happening in this chapter. i was just writing and then Jake was there!!
this chapter lays a lot of groundwork for Cherry/Rooster. you learn more about both of them through their conversation + the fact that she's just skinny dipping while he lounges to the side.
I once read that a character's first line of dialogue should be indicative of their entire character. so, with Jake, he shows up unannounced at Bradley's pad, lies about having not been able to get ahold of him, yells out his name, then swaggers out into the backyard. it's apparent right away that Jake is going to be an interrupter of sorts--literally, metaphorically, etc.
also, one of the first things Jake does is lie. he didn't call all weekend and he didn't knock either. he's just saying that. this is mainly because I wanted to show his addiction--and addicts lie.
(btw I come from a family made up of almost exclusively addicts! and this is not commentary on them. I don't think addicts are good or bad--they're just people who make choices, just like us)
onto the next! so there's an immediate physical attraction between Cherry and Jake. they're both drawn to the other purely sexually.
“Right on,” Hangman says. “You can call me whatever you want, baby. I’m no square.”  
 Rooster smiles at you with tight lips, then turns to Hangman again. 
“Cherry here just signed a twelve-movie deal with Goldman Homevideos,” Rooster explains to Hangman. “She’s crashing here until she gets her dough.”
he's also literally immediately inserting himself into whatever Cherry and Rooster have going on. like, literally.
“You don’t own any shoes, baby? Rooster, what are you doing to the girl? Holding her hostage?” Hangman grins. 
Before Rooster can answer, Hangman grabs one of the lounge chairs and drags it over to the side of the pool, plopping down with a sigh. You’re in between the two men now, not touching the side of the pool. You’re just watching them watch you. 
and literally immediately, there is chemistry between him and Cherry. Cherry is kind of trying out that persona she uses on everyone when she first meets them. she's sassy and confident, more defensive than she actually is.
“You nervous, Cherry?” 
“Right now?” You ask, shaking your head. 
Hangman laughs a big laugh. 
“Nah, baby. About being in the business,” he answers. “You know--erotica. Spank movies. Triple-X. Porn.” 
Biting your lip, you shake your head. 
“No,” you answer. “I like sex. I’m just getting paid for it now.” 
He nods, smoothing his hand over his mustache. He likes that answer. It’s how he felt, too. 
“This is gonna be like living a different life, baby,” Hangman tells you, crossing his arms. “You won’t even remember what life was like before once you really get into the thick of it.” 
That sounds good to you. That sounds very, very good to you. 
“Groovy,” you answer. “Not much life to remember before, anyway.” 
and then he eventually fucks off to do some cocaine in the bathroom. and Cherry doesn't really know what cocaine is (she's probably loosely aware of it, but hasn't ever been anywhere near it obvi). so when he comes back and Rooster has to tell him that there's some on his stache....perhaps it is an insight into the inner workings of their relationship. i.e. Cherry being oblivious, Jake being careless, Rooster being the caretaker.

a few little snippets from a recent cover for issue #3 of Dan Kalban’s AMERICAN DREAMS, a new limited series from the good folk at Band of Bards. really had some fun looking back at some turn of the century posters for this one!
NYC. 1900. Jake Gold, a Jewish immigrant, works in a sweatshop by day, and fights in a gang at night. However, that all changes the night Thomas Edison does a strange experiment in Central Park, unleashing strange energy across New York. Jake is suddenly gifted with amazing powers.
His path soon crosses with that of luminaries such as magician Harry Houdini, anarchist Emma Goldman, and crusading journalist Nellie Bly. However, standing against the neophyte hero stand Edison, JP Morgan, and, worst of all, Aleister Crowley. Can Jake rise to the occasion and protect everyone’s American Dreams?

A cartel of oil-producing countries led by Saudi Arabia agreed to steep cuts in oil production, defying a behind-the-scenes diplomatic push by the Biden administration to avert cuts that could push up global gasoline prices and may offer a small lifeline to Russia’s battered wartime economy. 
In a meeting on Wednesday in Vienna, the OPEC+ group that comprises most of the world’s top oil exporters agreed to cut production, on paper, by 2 million barrels per day, the biggest slash in production since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. In reality, the cartel will probably shave something like 1 million barrels off the market, since most OPEC members are already underproducing. Crude prices nudged upward Wednesday but didn’t spike.
“They agreed to a larger cut on paper so they wouldn’t have to renegotiate quotas, which is always like pulling teeth,” said Matthew Reed, an expert on the oil industry and the vice president of Foreign Reports, a Washington-based consulting firm. “This is crucial. It means OPEC will take less oil off the market than the headlines suggest.”
The reason for the cuts, despite protestations from the White House, is not punitive politics. Rather, it’s the specter of a looming global recession that will cut deeply into global oil demand. Last week, Goldman Sachs cut its 2023 oil price forecast from an earlier prediction of $125 per barrel to $108, following a sluggish global demand for oil, which was exacerbated by central banks tightening rates worldwide.
Still, for the Biden White House, which courted Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries this year to ensure a plentiful supply of oil, the decision is a blow. Two of Washington’s most important Middle Eastern partners, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, sided with other major oil powers, including Russia, in the decision to slash oil production. Multiple senior Biden administration officials, including Amos Hochstein, President Joe Biden’s leading energy envoy, played a role in the failed campaign to pressure OPEC+ members to avoid the cuts, as CNN reported. 
The announcement sparked anger among U.S. lawmakers, including allies in Biden’s Democratic Party, who have criticized the president for pursuing closer relations with Saudi Arabia in recent months. “I thought the whole point of selling arms to the Gulf States despite their human rights abuses, nonsensical Yemen War, working against US interests in Libya, Sudan etc, was that when an international crisis came, the Gulf could choose America over Russia/China,” Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, commented on Twitter. 
“President Biden should make it clear that we will stop supplying the Saudis with weapons and air parts if they fleece the American people and strengthen Putin by making drastic production cuts,” Rep. Ro Khanna, a progressive Democrat, said of the news. “They need us far more than we need them.”
In a joint statement from the White House, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and National Economic Council Director Brian Deese said the president was “disappointed” by the OPEC+ grouping’s decision to cut oil production amid the energy crunch caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, calling the decision “shortsighted.” 
“At a time when maintaining a global supply of energy is of paramount importance, this decision will have the most negative impact on lower- and middle-income countries that are already reeling from elevated energy prices,” Sullivan and Deese said. The administration suggested that it might be receptive to draconian legislation, drafted nearly every year for decades, that would put OPEC under antitrust scrutiny. 
While the Biden administration has benefited, both politically and economically, from low gasoline prices that came down after their early summer highs, OPEC producers are concerned about two things: a plunge in demand (and oil prices) and the G-7’s plan to cap prices on Russia’s oil exports. OPEC wants to remain a seller’s cartel, not leave pricing up to consumers.
“The Biden administration and OPEC producers have different opinions about market conditions, or they’re concerned about different things,” said Samantha Gross, an energy security expert at the Brookings Institution. “They’re always going to do what’s best for them. We can’t expect them to go against their own interest to serve ours.”
Among the top officials attending the OPEC+ gathering in Vienna was Alexander Novak, Russia’s deputy prime minister. Novak has played an important role in helping the Kremlin to maintain diplomatic ties with other major oil producers, even as the United States and its Western allies have campaigned to diplomatically and economically isolate Russia after it invaded Ukraine. 
The cartel’s decision also deals a symbolic blow to U.S. efforts to strip Russia of tens of billions of dollars in oil revenue—a crucial lifeline for the country’s struggling economy—after the West accused the Kremlin of weaponizing its energy supplies for geopolitical leverage. 
If it’s a symbolic blow to Western efforts against Russia, the practical impact of the production cuts for Moscow could be negligible, Reed said. “They only formalize on paper the barrels Russia has already lost because of sanctions. Beyond that, they do little to protect Russia’s market share, since its customer base has shrunk so dramatically this year. It’s silly to frame this decision as a Saudi favor to Russia. This is about the bigger picture and a teetering global economy,” he added.
As Russia tightened its energy chokehold on Europe in recent months, natural gas prices shot through the roof, pitching Europe and much of the world into a grave energy crisis that has fueled unrest and forced governments to declare emergency interventions in order to stabilize markets. 
With emerging market economies already struggling to cope with soaring energy prices and costs of living, the White House and experts warned that OPEC’s move will have a particularly harsh effect on nations that are hostage to global oil prices.
“Rising energy prices always have a nastier impact on the developing world, sadly,” Gross said. “And in the atmosphere we have right now, with a rising dollar, which makes those prices even relatively higher, no question this is particularly hard on the global south.”

جاريد شابيرو هو أسوأ شخصية في برنامج فتيات القوة الريبوت لسنة 2016، وهو شخصية بلوسوم الرومانسية والمحبوبة. في الواقع، لا يمثل المسلسل أي سمات شخصية منه، بل كان به كاتب مزعج.
يشتهر جيك جولدمان بعمله وهو أيضًا صوت لجاريد شابيرو، وبالعربية تم التعبير عن جاريد بواسطة جيل شلهوب، ممثل صوت لبناني قام بأداء صوت أبل من أبل وأونيون، جاك من ساموراي جاك، بيبرمينت لاري من مغامرات فلابجاك، بوبي وجايسون من كريغ من الجدول وفان الرائعة. كليس من جينيرايتور ريكس، لا أشاهد الكثير من حلقات فتيات القوة الريبوت لسنة 2016 باستثناء قوة الأربعة وهو الشخصية المخيفة من المسلسل التلفزيوني ويجب أن يحترق في الجحيم
أنا أكره جاريد شابيرو كثيراً!!
أنا أحب فتيات القوة (الأصلية)، ومختبر دكستر، وإد وإدد و إددي

Dan Goldman Goes Into Gaslighting Overdrive Defending Biden on CNN—but Even They Nail Him With the Truth
Tumblr media
If there's anyone who would seem to be seeking the Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) Trophy for person most willing to debase himself to push party propaganda, it would be Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY). 
He's been making the rounds, as other Biden surrogates have, trying to spin the disastrous Special Counsel Hur report and Joe Biden's bad response to it. We already touched a bit on this when he claimed that it was "understandable" if Biden forgot when his son died to ABC.
Goldman then had two different hits on CNN.
First, he did a spot with CNN's Jake Tapper. Tapper mentioned the Biden memory lapses in the Special Counsel report, and he noted that it wasn't the first time this has come up. He asked, was Goldman trying to say there was no problem with Biden claiming he talked to world leaders after they were long dead and confusing Francois Mitterrand for Emmanuel Macron or Helmut Kohl and Angela Merkel as he did just last week? 
Goldman then said he'd heard the White House Counsel spokesperson had disputed the depiction in the report. Funny how the spokesperson wouldn't call for the release of the record on the Hur interview. He said that Biden called him the day before the interview with the Special Counsel and he claimed that Biden was "sharper than anyone I've spoken to" about such a complex geo-political issue. 
Oh, come on, man! Are you kidding? Do you expect us to believe that? Welcome to the Goldman Gaslighting Show. 
Biden has difficulty reading a teleprompter and finding his way off a stage. In the Hur interview, he also couldn't remember when his VP term started or when it ended. That's not "sharp" -- that's someone who has a problem. If Biden is "sharper than anyone" he's spoken to, then he has a serious issue with the people around him. 
Then there was this moment with CNN's Kaitlan Collins where he went to town with the gaslighting. 
Goldman says there's a big difference between documents that have classified markings on them and Biden's notes from those classified documents. That's nonsense because both are a problem -- and he had both. 
He mentioned how he could only see documents in a sensitive compartmented information facility (SCIF) as a member of Congress. Yes, and that's why Biden doesn't have any rationale at all to still have documents from over 40 years ago, as Biden himself admitted. 
Claiming the notes wouldn't have markings so Biden wouldn't necessarily know they had classified information in them is nonsense, as Biden had to have taken the notes from classified documents originally. 
"There's no evidence here that he was intentionally holding on, or had any intent to disclose this information beyond the immediate realm that he held," Goldman said. Even he had to know that what he was saying was utter nonsense. 
Um, Dan? The report said exactly that there was evidence that Biden had "willfully retained and disclosed classified materials." He had information that he knew and told the ghostwriter was classified in 2017, so he had knowledge of it but then held onto it. 
But Collins wouldn't let Goldman get away with that, noting that there were documents found that had classified markings, and Biden noted it to the ghostwriter. She also pointed out that some of this information was related to human sources -- some of the most sensitive information that you should never disclose. 
It doesn't sound like people were buying the gaslighting.

Taylor was no stranger to the big play, connecting with a big catch that went for 60 yards. Michael Valenzuela got in on the action too, converting a pick into a touchdown.
Another reason for the win was Santana's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for eight sacks. The heavy lifting was done by Angel Borja and Jake Galbreath who racked up five sacks between them.
Crawford's loss dropped their record down to 8-4. As for Santana, their victory ended a three-game drought at home and bumped them up to 5-6.
