As a fan from Uruguay, I liked how your christmas episodes about him did not focus on his humility as a “noble poor” thing, but instead as him “walking the walk”. That’s a common, condescending trope in Mujica-posting. Would recommend the special to foreigners seeking context for the vibe here today

Remarkable how similar the entire thing is to Dreyfuss and Leo Frank. Insisting fairly obviously innocent people be brutalized as criminals is a key tenet of contemporary reactionary ideology.

I enjoyed how the elves in Eragon were objectively better people wrt every social issue but couldn’t help acting like huge pricks about it.
Truly the “American undergrad on a Eurotrip” fantasy book, in retrospect

Glad that they progressively dropped that in MMZ 2, 3, and 4. Sad that we lost the semi-open world, though.

Best literal translation to Spanish would be “Hecho por Humanos” (lit. “Made by Humans”).
Also, “Mano Humana” (“Human Hand”) gets points for alliteration and is close to “Mano de Obra Humana” (“Human Handiwork/Labor”) while keeping it to two words
