George Monbiot is passionate about the climate crisis and preserving what we have left of our natural world. I thought a number of these essays, the strongest ones, were quite thought-provoking, and made me consider the climate crisis more deeply. I think his strongest work is where he's offering his own experiences of climate change and his own grief about the decline of the natural world. Where he's reporting the speeches or efforts of others, this book isn't as strong, but, with those essays, he does capture a moment in time in the fight to save the natural world. In Mobile Fighter G Gundam Master Asia says this as Domon achieves Meikyou Suishi and actually starts landing hits on him. Several of the earlier antagonists of YuYu Hakusho (particularly Hiei) say this or something similar when the heroes defeat them, mostly since the heroes are nearly always the underdog anyway. The last time the heroes get enemies that do this is a few times the Dark Tournament, though (after which most of the enemies are either Spirited Competitors or Death Seekers).

Every single Desian in Tales of Symphonia will gasp "I lost...to an inferior being?" Every single one. The head intelligence officer trying to kill Lelouch in the first episode of Season 2 outright screams "IT CAN'T BE!" when Lelouch regains his memories and commands them all to die via Geass.Fairy Tail runs on this as much as any long-running anime/manga does. Every antagonist - from the heads of Phantom Lord, Sabertooth, Raven Tail, etc. to Jellal to the King of Edolas, and even Cobra when Natsu stops thinking, and the members of Raijinshuu when they fought the rest of Fairy Tail to determine who would next take over as Guildmaster - has said this after getting stomped by Natsu, Erza, Gray, Lucy, or whoever is the in-focus member at the time. The villain of the arc saying this is inevitable. It’s a gut punch today, especially in the fashion we lost it,” said Isiah Kiner-Falefa, the Yankees’ third baseman. Discord is absolutely stunned when he realizes (far too late) that not only have the Mane Cast broken free of his Mind Rape, but rekindled their friendship to the point they can activate the Elements Of Harmony again...which are presently aimed at his face. Negi: No... it's impossible... he took the Titan-Killing Sword directly... this man defies reason...

Mantle’s former slugging teammate Roger Maris finished his career that season with the St. Louis Cardinals. The Yankees gave out bobbleheads of Maris on Sunday, commemorating his 61-homer season in 1961. They’ll have a similar promotion next month for Judge, who broke Maris’s A.L. record with 62 last season. If this book took place in a different place it probably wouldn’t have been as good. If it wouldn’t had been in a boarding school they wouldn’t have been able to play pranks on over night on their schoolmates. But since it is, they can do a whole bunch more than they could in a regular school. Power Rangers Samurai: This is Serrator's reaction to Xandred leaving the Netherworld and coming after him. A major plot point was Xandred's inability to leave the Netherworld due to an (incomplete) sealing spell placed on him by the previous generation. Turns out the nature of that spell is that he can't leave the Netherworld for very long. The decay that happens to all Nighloks in Earth conditions just happens to him really fast. At this point, no one - us, or the other characters, except maybe the scholar Octoroo - knew that if he was willing to pay the price, he can come out and play for a minute or three... and he's so insanely powerful that even when severely compromized, that's long enough to thoroughly maul the Rangers and anybody else who pisses him off enough to come out. Cue the previously unthinkable sight of Serrator - a Diabolical Mastermind, and The Heavy since Xandred doesn't usually do much, and someone who proved to be very powerful in combat - running for his life. Of course, the time it will take Xandred to recover from that means Serrator came out of this ahead. Knowing Serrator, maybe he'd planned on that. The Kingdom of Loathing's Naughty Sorceress says "This cannot be! This is not possible! It cannot be the case that this is the case!" when you defeat her second form.Number 4 in the 'Penguin Books - Green Ideas' series, this book is a collection of speeches and essays by the investigative journalist and 'professional troublemaker' George Monbiot, a leading voice in the fight for climate justice. Are the MacDonald Hall books great literature? Probably not. But neither are they to be completely dismissed as "fluff" or 'twaddle." For boys who like funny books, but whose parents would prefer not to promote toilet humor (or worse, crude jokes with a sexual basis), they are the perfect escapist read. Interestingly, these books have also recently been turned into a series of films, which are all available to stream on Netflix. I watched half of the first one, Go Jump in the Pool!, and noted some differences, mainly in the age of the characters (MacDonald Hall seems to be a high school in the movie world) and in the character of Miss Scrimmage (who is now a peace-loving hippie and not an unhinged woman with a shotgun), but overall, I didn't think it was terrible. I would definitely recommend reading the books first, but fans of the series will probably enjoy the film adaptations. Also in Sonic Battle, when fighting Dr. Eggman during Emerl's story. Whenever you beat him, he shouts "IT CAN'T BE!"

Kuyou: No! He lives?! But that's impossible! I saw what my flame did to him! His body was burned to a crisp! I think everyone should read this book and all the other books in this new Penguin collection (I can tell they're all going to be important reads, just based on my experience with this one). They're all written by writers well-known for their writing on nature and the climate. I've got four of them on my shelves, and just happened to start with this one. I'm really glad I did.

income is by far the most important determinant of environmental impact" leading to "Perhaps the most radical thing we can do is limit our material aspirations." Commander Crane just says, "That can't be" when informed that the underwater vortex has carried the submarine to a place where instruments say it's suddenly several-hundred extra miles from Castle Bravo (because the sub has entered the Hollow Earth). As humans, we have devised a system that demands infinity. In pushing the Earth to its limits, we have reached oblivion. Monbiot desperately asks us humans to love ourselves and our planet. It is such a basic task that we have pushed aside to make way for neoliberal capitalism, which extracts our time for what amounts to nothing. What about the plot? Did it pull you in; or did you feel you had to force yourself to read the book?
