"Originally, in the script, we had O'neill saying something like, 'Is this where we keep the little green men?'"Jonathan Glassner reveals. "But the Air Force has full approval of all of our scripts, and they called and said, 'There are no aliens in Area 51. You can't keep that line in.' I explained that it was a joke, but they just repeated, 'There are no aliens in Area 51.' So I then asked if I could use their response in the script! We actually ended up going with O'neill saying, 'Is this where they keep the aliens?' and the officer replies, 'There are no aliens in area 51.'"

I know the midterm election is not until November 3, 2026, however I want everyone to be prepared and not say that they "didn't know" or "couldn't figure it out".

So some fanartist drew a “sexy” (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because it’s kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what they’re into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their “opponents’” accounts.

So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a children’s education charity via each side’s portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.
