  • Bruh, 40K literally started as a satire of fascism during the punk movement. From medium:

    The farther we go forward in time, the more Umberto Eco’s seminal essay on the definition of fascism (“Ur-Fascism”, 1995) applies. Read these (very abridged) qualifiers and think about what you know about 40k, space marines, and the Imperium of Man.

    1. Cult of Tradition/Traditionalism
    2. Rejection of Modernism
    3. Cult of Action for Action’s Sake
    4. Disagreement is treason.
    5. Racist by definition/diversity is bad.
    6. Derives power from individual or social frustration.
    7. Nationalism/Tribalism/”Appeals to people who feel deprived of a clear social identity”
    8. Followers feel humiliated.
    9. Life is lived for struggle/life is permanent…

    Think about every line you know from 40k, and everything that ever happens in this setting. It’s incredibly fascist coded and the fault of the fascists for being in their situation.





  • Now that Kevin Conroy has passed, Mark’s been pretty open about retiring from being the Joker. He was even open about only being the Joker if Kevin was there. They had good chemistry together and really knew their characters.

    I’m sad there’s no new Kevin and Mark Batman and Joker, but someone else needs to take the torch for both characters.









  • Like the other person said, Coolio didn’t like Amish Paradise for years. He eventually realized he was being a dick about it and apologized to Weird Al.

    Prince despised the idea of parodies for his songs and at one point Prince’s management told Al to not even look at him while they were both scheduled for the same show or something.

    Paul McCartney rejected a parody called Chicken Pot Pie on the grounds Paul (and Al too) is a vegetarian, but was otherwise down to let him do parodies.

    Lady Gaga’s management DID NOT want weird Al to do Perform This Way, but Al released it anyway and Lady Gaga loved it.

    TBH, these are things I remembered off Al’s Wikipedia page.
