I have never seen the moomin anime before, but from that short clip I can safely say it is not canon at all. Snufkin appears to be trying to save a police station and Little My is not immediately jumping at the opportunity to commit crimes

The original comics are among the top ten comics I've ever read. (I've read a LOT of comics.) Both Tove and Lars were real pros. E: I mean they're right up there with, say. Pratt, Altan, Goscinny, etc.

The English voice overs are [whatever otaku says about English voices]. Real fans use the real Swedish dub and subtitles (Real talk though, the east swedish voices gets a lot closer to the je ne sais qui of the characters. More gentle and melodic. I should test the Japanese one too come to think of)

Rosa Parks not getting up from her seat was an intentional demonstrative act of protest, not just an old lady being harassed. I could have sworn in grade school we were taught she was the first black woman to not get up from her seat when told to, and that's why she was a big deal. Not because she was an activist -- I never even heard about her activism. And she was like forty when it happened -- I always imagined her as an old lady. I mean, at this age I know she wasn't the first to do this, I just never ventured to learn more about her. She was never a focal point in the curriculum when I was in school, just that there was a bus incident and a bunch of stuff happened as a consequence.

Rosa wasn't even the first in the series of those demonstrations, I think she was 4th. The sparking event did happen spontaneously with a very determined young woman who refused to leave her seat, and someone in the movement figured this would make an excellent way to mass protest. Rosa was an employee in the organisation and more little old lady-like and, since the organised protest series had journalists attached and present for each event, it was almost an exercise in finding out when the public would start to care. Tl/dr the first time was unplanned, and the rights movement repeated it and suddenly the world noticed when Rosa Parks protested

There was Claudette Colvin who did the same thing several months before Rosa Parks but, because she was single and pregnant, the civil rights campaigners didn't try to go anywhere with it.

Parks being extra tired that day was in large part the "official" story until her autobiography. It helped the movement because "physically exhausted old woman" is easier to play for sympathy than "middle-aged activist woman who's sick and tired of giving in".

Here's a stupid one. The arm in "polearm" means weapon, doesn't it? Not arm like the appendage? Somehow that never occurred to me until... today. I'll see myself out.

My wife was talking to coworkers about video games and one said "I love racing in F1 on ps5" and she thought "oh Friend loves that game" She was thinking of F-Zero. After pointing out she has played the Nintendo game with aliens driving hovercars, I realized where the F-Zero name came from.

I have a tiny hole in the roof of my mouth, I mentioned it to a doctor once, but they brushed over it. I can only assume I was close to having a cleft palate, and the only actual event was this tiny hole. It's really dinky, like the size of a grain of rice.

I have a slightly uneven skull. On the top left there's a tiny part that's almost completely flat. This wasn't discovered until I was a teen and I underwent a bunch of scans and bloodtests and research that ended with a doctor saying "I dunno I guess your skull is just weird."

My cousin had a bit of a cardiac episode yesterday - felt faint, then collapsed after a hike. He was taken to hospital, and checked - had a severely blocked artery, so they put in two stents. I was only vaguely aware of what a stent is or what it does, but after a little googling, I am just in awe of how clever and in a way, how simple they are. Float in a tiny chicken-wire tube with a balloon inside it, up a wire from your wrist to where the blockage is, then inflate the balloon so as to make the narrowed part open up again. Brilliant.

My mom had one put in last year and I think she went home the day after, way different than I was expecting for anything to do with getting into the arteries. Hope things go well with your cousin's recovery.

Hope things go well with your cousin's recovery. Thank you, and yeah, he's heading home tomorrow. From what I've heard, there was very little damage done to his heart, and it's expected to be fully healed in a couple of weeks. It's basically magic.
