Lying down in bed. I was awake but I was still in bed.

I've been thinking through something about how Princess Celestia and Princess Luna in MLP FIM emphasize the importance of balance in nature

day and night cycle is important for biological systems, animals rely on it, for sleep and other things, and while the human world does not rely on magic to survive, it is fair to say Equestria does, or at least it is heavily implied in Friendship is Magic.

I think the TV show could have done a better job with this, but with such limitations imposed to make it child friendly, people who worked on the show had difficult choices to make.

I still like the metaphysical aspect of MLP, because at least then their world isn't just some soulless clockwork like our universe, it has a deeper meaning in how it works, and I liked what they were going for, it kind of reminds me of how some Disney stories were in the 90's, mystical and with powerful beings who had important jobs, and if you were to exist in the fictional world of Hasbro's MLP FIM, it would be basically like living out some RPG adventure fantasy, where you learn that there are life forms with powers beyond understanding and that sometimes you needed to rely on the help of a friend with powers like that to stop a villain.

Had to cut my early morning drive short due to a mess…Cop had the road blocked off. I had to do the most precarious u-turn. That road is way too thin for a car like mine to u-turn on. I dk how I didn’t end up off road 💀

Rewatching an episode of Batman the Animated Series - The Forgotten

It's a good episode, DCAU's Batman really did care about homeless people, so much so that he put an end to their exploitation by a greedy gold mining businessman who kidnapped them. And although they needed jobs, slavery is not the way to do it. It's a reminder that not all supervillains wear makeup or costumes, sometimes they wear suits and ties, and in this case Boss Biggis nearly got away with it. At least with Joker everybody in Gotham knows about him, Biggis was largely an unknown mobster who had little connections outside his slave camp, that's as under the radar as it gets and many criminals do work like this. If Bruce Wayne had not have been there, Boss Biggis would've been uncontested by police and other activists of justice around Gotham.
