Watched Solar Opposites, a cartoon started by Justin Roiland like Rick and Morty with lots in common.
Including Roiland being kicked out after a couple of seasons for his crimes, and being replaced. This time not with an impersonator but just a new more british actor. Stayed pretty much in vibe with his style though.
Four aliens stuck on earth, plus the adventures of the tiny people that one of the aliens shrunk to keep in his wall like an ant farm. And the Silver Cops.
Pretty good fun. Watched the five seasons on Netflix in a couple of weeks. Apparently there's another if I search or wait.
Interesting how the machine can just keep churning it out even when the lead folks disappear. That's the ideal I suppose. Create the show then let it run on without you.

No dejo de pensar en esto: en 1860, la mitad de la biomasa de mamíferos era salvaje. Hoy, solo queda el 5%. El resto somos nosotros y nuestros animales domesticados (incluyendo animales de granja).
Estamos arrasando con el equilibrio del planeta sin darnos cuenta.
No es solo una estadística, es una llamada de atención. 🌍💔

On November 12, the Israeli government issued an order outlining plans to -- “expropriate” 450 acres of land from ancient Sebastia -- and the village’s entire archaeological park, which includes homes and businesses.
Israel’s seizure of the lands of Sebastia and the nearby village of Burqa will form part of a plan to create a “national park” for Israeli settlers -- on one of the most significant Palestinian historical sites in the West Bank out of 6,000 others.
