Life measured out in coffee spoons

And now we live in a world where nine episodes are called a "season," and if a showrunner wants more than that, they have to beg and plead and run social media campaigns getting the fans to help with the begging and pleading. And some assholes will be like, "ugh, how incompetent of the showrunners to not be able to tell a huge story in only nine episodes" instead of recognizing how the showrunners are getting screwed.

To that I say, Emmy-award-winner Genndy Tartakovsky, the man who created multiple hit shows for Cartoon Network such as Samurai Jack and Dexter's Laboratory, still had his passion project cancelled by Adult Swim after a single ten-episode season, despite having planned for more. Unicorn: Warriors Eternal will never be finished.

Given medical technology and Americans’ completely fucked up relationship with death in general, the ability for someone to be technically alive but otherwise incapacitated is basically infinite.

I have no doubt that the man is trapped in a bed in an acute care facility or icu somewhere and will likely never vote in the senate again. Just as I have no doubt that he’s technically alive.

a man in Fresno scrolled past. his scallions went to seed the same evening. his dog stopped making eye contact.
