See this man?
Tumblr media
His name is Piero Angela.
Some say he's the italian David Attemborough.
I say David Attemborough is the british Piero Angela.
He's a journalist. Tv host. Science journalist. Jazz pianist.
He was born in Turin in 1928 and, it is worth noting, his father Carlo has been awarded the Medal of the "Righteous among the Nations".
Last year Piero Angela celebrated 70 years (don't know if you heard me right: 70 YEARS!!) of non-stop collaboration with italian national TV and radio broadcaster RAI. Hell, when he started working for RAI it was still a radio only broadcaster... tv didn't even exist in Italy yet.
He's been anchorman, reporter, war correspondent... but what's most famous for is QUARK.
Tumblr media
The scientific TV program that turned the air of Bach's Orchestral Suite no. 3 in D major into "The Quark Music"! That's right. No one in Italy knows what's the air of Bach's suite n.3 in D major is, but goddammit, everyone knows the "Quark Music"!
That's because the man himself, the program and its intro are such a huge part in the life of every italian, even of those who are not interested in science. Piero Angela and his angelic intro are one of the pillars of italian modern culture!
Proof to that, another pillar of italian culture, Topolino, celebrated Angela's 90th birthday in 2018 with a story, an interview and a very cool cover! Here's to you Peter Quarky:
Tumblr media
Why am I telling you all this?
Because Piero Angela passed away today, aged 93. But not before having written a really touching letter (like a boss!) thanking everyone who worked with him and all the common people who let him bring knowledge and science into their home with his very savoy care and kindness.
Right now for me is like loosing a very dear member of the family... you know, an odd granpa fixated with dinosaurs, planets and bacteria (I've still the complete collection of vhs he made on the dinosaurs and the one on the solar system) and I just wanted everyone to know about him, his impressive career and simply what a cool and kind person he was. A gentleman of old days.
To the stars, Piero... to the stars!
Piero Angela plays "As time goes by" in the program "Che Tempo Che Fa" in 2018.

You must remember this A kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh. The fundamental things apply As time goes by.
And when two lovers woo They still say, "I love you." On that you can rely No matter what the future brings As time goes by.
Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca (1942)

Climate Change is the Great Filter, whether people like it not. Practice intensive de-growth, material poverty, and limited consumption; if you don't, we'd all just be...filtered. All of us. The whole "cold, cruel universe that doesn't care" adage? It's just the reality of the world, not an "edgy meme", especially since, the system about you is working as intended; and what we're experiencing is simply the deterministic effect of our lifestyles; and regardless of the class divides, inequality, and relentless wars, which add to this existential threat, the planet is being run into the ground; and you're not going anywhere to live out your sci-fi fantasies with your buddy Elon Musk. You. Are. Fucked!
In fact, this is what "fuck around and find out" looks like at its best.
(More links after the cut.)
This is happening. We've, for the lack of the better word, transformed earth to be nearly inhospitable; and we've yet to experience the good returns of the pollution we've introduced into the system in the last 2 decades or so (we're already warming up twice as fast; a marvel of our collective "brilliance"). Aren't you all excited? As according to some papers, we'd looking at 70 degrees Celsius somewhere down the line (there isn't a good consensus on this one, but at the rate things are going? A fairly predictable outcome when ocean temperatures have broken every record, that's just the beginning of this fun-time!; and remember, oxygen absorption is inversely proportional to temperature; so the hotter the water's surface, the less oxygen it can absorb; basically, your oceans will start dying from the bottom up; are you ready for mass-extinction?)! There would be no "return to monke" when all the food-chains go through total collapse, which many seem to fantasize about in their dystopian power-fantasies; and after that, we'd just be another pointless part of earth's vast history. (God, human exceptionalism is infuriating, especially when even the shit we eject out of our hindquarters massively pollutes everything about us; our dead-bodies do the same; so we as species don't add much of anything to the eco-system about us; just pollution.)
We overshot the sustainable population number some several billion people ago; yet you hardly see anyone talk about the elephant in the room. Most people go for the most obnoxious, low-hanging fruit of "eco-fascism"; in that we can feed 10 billion people, apparently; I'd love for them to bring out a single evidence that we can a) feed all these people without fossil fuels (bet none of you fuckers ever thought of that little detail); b) somehow, magically fix the pesticides run-off problems that have created forever chemicals (they're found in everything you find convenient, by the way, and have contaminated just about everything; yes, including yours truly), polluted our water-sources, and basically, feed all these people without pesticides; and c) feed all of them equally without the aforementioned two. (All the fools talking about "fossil-fuel industry is destroying our planet" conveniently leave this one out; or perhaps they're just that stupid, because no alternative out there is viable enough to be used as a replacement for fossil fuels and pesticides...just to feed an endless number of mouths; but hey, according to these highly intelligent thinkers we can actually push this to 10 billion, and somehow, survive!)
The fossil-fuels and pesticides feed us, but they also create massive pollution and pollutants that don't seem to be going anywhere for hundreds of years, possibly more; and I haven't even touched on what microplastics and factory-farming are doing to you and the planet; but that's something you can research on your own; but sociopathic mother-fuckers still won't reduce their meat and needless consumption. It's almost as if, if our population was around 2 billion, none of this would be happening. It's almost as if we pollute, destroy, and exploit the environment...just by existing; and don't even fucking bother with coming at me with "geo-engineering" to solve the problem; aerosol mask is an excuse to keep burning fossil fuels, a method that'd just result in Termination Shock (source; its part 2 can be found through this list; I can't seem to link it for some reason). You're not getting out of this. There's no "techno-hopium" to save you, nothing to bail you out of mass-extinction, and no method to blunt the fall. It's happening. Billions will die. It's inevitable.
The only thing you can do is to not make it even worse. Reduce the population, which will plummet all on its own, anyway, because the temperatures will keep rising for another 100 years down the line; water wars will happen as we're a cruel species that simply know how to plunder, exploit, and take, and because more than 40% of our water sources are polluted already; and no, no "carbon-capture tech" exists to draw what we've released into the environment. Not even a fraction of it as it, surprise-surprise!, can't seem to work efficiently without fossil fuels!
You don't have much of any choice or time to do anything else. Adapt or die horribly along with billions? Choices-choices!

Hello From a New PPG x RRB Fan (?)
I've stumbled upon an aged up, human version of the PPG and RRB by @leecheedoodles some months ago and it blew me away. Definitely her art style, her hilarious comics and all the heart she put on each character' s content were revolutionary. It was a force strong enough to turn people's heads around (once more) and look into PPG again. Of course, there were other content creators out there that contributed to this attention. Heck, I even blame NewJeans' collab with the Powerpuff Girls in reigniting the PPG's popularity. But for me, it was Leechee's content.
And one other more.
@carriedreamerx
Leechee once recommended "As Time Goes By", a fic by Carriedreamer, and me? Of course I went blindly and checked it out (after finishing all of Leechee's comics lol). And, lo and behold, I dug my own soft, squishy grave and gladly laid in there with a huge smile on my face, a renewed flame in my heart, and a new strength to draw again.
There are 3 people-- okay maybe 4-- that I'd like to thank for this 2023 plot twist in my life, in no particular order:
Craig McCracken - First and foremost, for creating the Powerpuff Girls, and the Rowdyruff Boys as one of their intimidating villains. I thank him for sharing his imagination and passion for animation, and created something that made the childhood of many kids back then (me included) memorable.
Leechee - As I mentioned earlier, her works were amazing. Eye candy even. I remember that one random midnight where I discovered her IG page then binged read her comics, I remember the struggle to keep my guffaws in check coz I didn't want to wake my brother, I was almost at tears laughing at the sheer comedy of her works and even story Q&As 😂😂 It was hell of a night. I got hooked just in a few hours.
Carriedreamer - Last but definitely NOT the least, Miss Carriedreamer. Her work "As Time Goes By", though incomplete, has solidified my interest obsession in the 6 superhumans. I tremendously fell in love with the lore, the alternate universe she built with careful attention to detail. Of course I have my own HC's that go against some of the HC's of the story but I love and respect how it was thoughtfully weaved AND worked perfectly with the story. I cannot express enough how much I LOVE LOVE LOVE and appreciate her fic, how she wrote it, and the mere intuition that the fan work was made with love. Despite not knowing the future of the fic (especially how it would end, how the PPG and RRB would develop further, and/or if the fic itself would be continued in the future-- idk but I'm open to anything) I'd hold this fan work close to my heart and would continue to love what existed from it. All my love and support as well to the writer, sending spiritual power from afar~
Other PPG x RRB content creators out there - Officially part of this list or not, I am still grateful to the other fan writers/ fan artists out there who continue to make content for the 6 dorks. Mad RESPECT to the fact that some people pour their precious time and heart to create these fan works. I LOVE the dedication, the appreciation to the source material, and how these individuals can be immensely creative in weaving their alternate worlds. I may have only read ATGB for now (and other Carriedreamer's short fic "Office Candy" lol) and I may even take ATGB as my fandom canon, but I'm not holding myself back from exploring other interpretations of the PPG x RRB in the future. I wish them fan creators more power, more love and support 🤍
As per my description of this fan blog, I'm not sure if this revived interest will be enduring. Powerpuff Girls may be my first fandom ever (not necessarily being involved in a community back then or something, it was just something I got obsessed with in a tender age of... Idk, 6 or 7 years old?), but I've outgrown it back then and I have a bigger, more established fandom in my life that lasted for 16+ years and counting. PPG wasn't it but, who knows? I am now in my late twenties. There are hints that maybe PPG x RRB would be my last fandom-- meaning, they would be my final muses until I turn 70. I feel like I would draw for them for the rest of my life. But heck, these were just ✨ feelings ✨, maybe even part of the new flame, renewed love honeymoon stage. I may be getting ahead of myself but who knows, and who cares lol. All I know is for now, they tickle my brain and inspire me to make art, and they're helping me survive life.
One day, if I lost interest, perhaps I would make this blog private. Otherwise, if the love persists. I'd keep this page up 😊

Okay but Henry saying Sam is like John isn't like most people saying Sam is like John... he isn't commenting on Sam's obsessive drive in a backhanded way, the way he fixates on revenge and gets cold. Or the snap temper Sam fights like John failed and failed.
Henry knows little baby John. Henry sees John as his precious child he always wanted to protect. Was John super curious with a love for knowledge in his eyes? Was he a sweet empathetic boy that being in Sam's caring presence reminds Henry of? In the end it says way more about who John was than who Sam is.
And to be honest, it's one of the biggest compliments Henry COULD give. Because of course he loves his son so much.

Where are you from?
Good question.
Let's say
I came a long long way.
a star child
or
just stardust
golden
or silver
grey
as time goes by.
a journeyman
voyager on a ship called earth.
located in a remote part of a galaxy.
a sceptic when some folks speak
about the crown of creation.
a citizen of a country in the middle of europe.
a country responsible for great wars.
a country that set the world on fire - almost.
rose from ruins and ashes.
a country at peace for almost 80 years.
but what does that mean
when neighbors are worried about their safety?
a man from a small town
a suburb
actually more of a village
but a village with barracks
and a military training area
that used to be
my playground
when i was a child
and knew nothing about the world.
Now I'm getting older
(wiser? i doubt it.).
but there are still so many things i want to know.
Things i want to learn.
Above all, the answer
to the question that
really
really
matters:
Where is this journey leading to?
