Korvo/The Legendary Super Shlorpian: It's okay, darling.
Mundane Jesse/Electra roars and throws Nicholas/Night Runner towards the building as she roars and jumps out.
Monica: Electra! No! Stop!
Mundane Jesse/Electra then grabs her yellow bow and yanks it off her head as she roars.
Terry/Solar Flare: SHIT!
Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: We got to do something before Electra hurt herself! We must find a way to calm her down
Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian turns into his Super Shlorpian form.
Terry/Solar Flare: Wait! I know how! Korvy! Fly me to Jesse! Quick!
Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: What?! Are you insane?!
Terry/Solar Flare: Trust me… she’s my little sproutling… I have to help her…
Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Okay.
Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian, seeing how determined and selfless his husband is being right now, smiles as he kiss his hubby on the forehead and grabs as he flies off while the other Ultra Opposites follow them and see Mundane Electra.
Terry/Solar Flare: JESSE!
Mundane Jesse/Electra as she throws Night Runner to a wall that knocks him out and then she sees Terry/Solar Flare and growls at him.
Terry/Solar Flare: It's okay. It's me. Your daddy.
Mundane Electra roars and throws a giant rock at Legendary Super Shlorpian and Solar Flare as they manage to dodge it. Then, Solar Flare’s eyes starts to glow orange as he smirks and goes Papa Wolf. Seeing this, Legendary Super Shlorpian smiles and gets ready to throw Mundane Solar Flare.
Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: You ready?
Terry/Solar Flare: starts turning black while growing bigger and muscular Oh fuck yeah! Ready!
Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Damn, honey. You looking faboo.
Terry/Solar Flare: Hell yeah. I do! Throw me in!
Legendary Super Shlorpian throws Solar Flare. Solar Flare then turns finished transforming into his Mundane form as he rips apart his uniform and roars. Mundane Electra then sees Mundane Solar Flare and snarls at him.
Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: Jesse. You're okay. Look at me.
Mundane Electra roars and prepares to throw another rock at Mundane Solar Flare as he gasp.
Principal Cooke/Super Cooke: Poor Terry. He dead.
But, Mundane Solar Flare kept being brave as he sees Mundane Electra snarling.
Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: J-Jesse?
Mundane Electra is about to throw something at her dad. Mundane Electra roars and throws the rock at Mundane Solar Flare who punches it into little ash thanks to his fire powers as he roars. Mundane Solar Flare then grabs Mundane Electra and pin her to the ground while touching her face softly and stroking it. Mundane Jesse realizes what she did and sobs.
Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: Shh. Oh Jesse-Bear. I’m so sorry Night Runner pushed you too far. This would’ve never happened if we had finally realize how truly crazy he is and still be there for you and then Monica would never be captured… you are not a monster… you are Jesse Opposites… a daughter… a sister… and a superhero… you’re our Electra and always will be. Please… come back to me Jesse-Bear…
Mundane Electra then breaks down in tears as tears fall down like waterfalls. Seeing how scared and overwhelmed his daughter is, Mundane Solar embrace his daughter in a hug as he continues to sooth her and comfort his daughter.
Daryl/Dark Matter: Uh, babe? Are you crying?
Yumyulack/Psylock: shedding tears of joy Aaaww…
Principal Cooke/Super Cooke: Well, how about that?
Sonya/Soarin’ Girl: Oh sis… walks to Mundane Jesse/Electra with the rest of the Ultra Opposites and hugs her
Mundane Jesse/Electra turns back into her normal Shlorpian self as she continues crying in Solar Flare’s chest.
Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: We’re so sorry about all of this. You were trying to tell us how crazy Nicholas is, and we didn’t believe in you. We thought you were being mean to him when he tried to win you back. But we were wrong. He is an asshole.
Yumyulack/Psylock: We’re sorry. It’ll be okay. We’re gonna stop Night Runner. Once and for all.
Jesse/Electra: Thank you...
But, Jesse/Electra starts turning back into her Mundane form as she starts breathing in and out.
Terry/Solar Flare: Whoa. Easy honey. Just take deep breaths. This is your first time. Right now, let’s go stop Night Runner before he recaptures Monica!
Everyone: Yeah!
Jesse/Electra keeps taking deep breaths but her eyes are still glowing pink.

Meanwhile, the struggle in the House of Representatives today looked like a preview of the 2024 election. 
Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH), a staunch supporter of former president Trump and a key figure in the attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, is pushing hard for election as speaker, emphasizing how imperative it is for the House Republicans to enable the House to get back to business. As Karoun Demirjian outlined in the New York Times, Jordan and his allies have deployed a pressure campaign against those Republicans opposed to him, as she puts it, “working to unleash the rage of the party’s base voters against any lawmaker standing in his way.” 
This is the same tactic that the extremists have used for decades to move the Republican Party to the right. But there is a different dynamic at play in this speakership crisis. Jordan and his allies created the crisis in the first place by supporting Trump’s demands to shut down the government, tossing out former speaker Kevin McCarthy because he would not agree to shut down the government, and refusing to abide by the vote of the Republican conference to accept the choice of the majority: first McCarthy and then Representative Steve Scalise (R-LA).
There is another way in which this moment is different. Jordan is a flamethrower who was one of the original organizers of the right-wing Freedom Caucus. Republicans saw McCarthy, who was an excellent fundraiser, as a pro-business Republican who worked with the far right, but Jordan is the real deal: a far-right extremist. Republican donors have already suggested they are not enthusiastic about working with him to fund Republican candidates.
The third way this moment is different is that putting Jordan in the speaker’s chair makes him, along with Trump, the face of the Republican Party going into the 2024 election. Representative Pete Aguilar (D-CA) previewed the many downsides of Jordan as speaker when he nominated Democratic minority leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) for the speaker’s chair. Aguilar blamed extremism and partisanship for the unprecedented chaos of the House and urged the Republicans to embrace bipartisanship to do the work the American people had sent them to Washington, D.C., to conduct. 
Aguilar noted that Jordan was “the architect of a nationwide abortion ban, a vocal election denier, and an insurrection inciter.” He has “spent his entire career trying to hold our country back, putting our national security in danger, attempting government shutdown after government shutdown, wasting taxpayer dollars on baseless investigations with dead ends, authoring the very bill that would ban abortion nationwide without exceptions, and inciting violence on this chamber. Even leaders of his own party have called him ‘a legislative terrorist.’” 
Aguilar pointed out Jordan’s opposition to disaster relief, veterans’ relief, support for Ukraine, and military aid to our allies, including Israel, and added: “This body is debating elevating a speaker nominee who has not passed a single bill in 16 years. These are not the actions of someone interested in governing or bettering the lives of everyday Americans.” Jordan as speaker would mean the Republican Party would “continue taking marching orders from a twice-impeached former president with more than 90 pending felony charges.”
Even without mentioning Jordan’s involvement with the cover-up of a sexual assault scandal at Ohio State, Aguilar put Republicans on notice that placing Jordan at the head of the party would have brutal consequences in Democratic campaign ads. 
When House members voted for speaker, the Democrats were unified behind Jeffries, who won all 212 of their votes. Jordan won only 200 of the 217 votes necessary to become speaker, with 20 Republicans voting for someone else. His allies initially said they would call a second vote tonight but changed their minds, apparently realizing that another loss would weaken his candidacy significantly. They say they will hold another vote tomorrow.

You Witness a Weeb's Revival
Welony grinned as her two favorite lackeys entered the room while in the middle of their latest argument, “well well well, look who’s finally home.”
Predictably, Kohga immediately stopped what he was doing to grovel, “forgive our tardiness, my Dark Mistress! We would have arrived sooner, but he caused our mission to take longer than expected!”
“Wha-me?! I did most of the work! Do you know how hard it is to search an entire exploded island, even with the water-breathing powers my mask gave me? You barely even got out of the boat!”
“I told you, I’m a weak swimmer! It comes from living in the desert!”
“Enough!” as amusing as they were, she had work to do, “it doesn’t matter how long it took as long as you got what we need. So did you?”
Byte smirked and gave a sweeping gesture towards the door with his right hand, “one mangled chameleon corpse, as requested.”
Right on cue, a quartet of Yiga Footsoldiers wheeled in a large cart that held a horrific, twisted mass of metal, glass, and charred, shattered, bleached bone. Though it was unrecognizable and very, very dead, Welony could feel the hatred and malice emanating from it.
“Oh yes, this will do nicely. Prepare the ritual!”
-----------------
In a few minutes, the entire Clan had assembled at a large altar, and were creating a massive pile of assorted anime merchandise, boxes full of printed out fanfics, and even actual dvds and manga collections, along with some Mighty Bananas because of course they would. Set between the pile and a podium at the front of the altar was the corpse that Kohga and Byte had brought in, surrounded by candles lit with purple flames.
After the pile had reached a size Welony was satisfied with, she held up her hand, “Arrange the sacrifices!”
At that, three teletubbies, dressed as Sasuke, Hatsune Miku, and a catgirl maid, were led out while bound in ominously glowing chains and set around the pile at roughly the points of an equilateral triangle.
“And now, for the final piece,” this, she would do herself.
She floated up to the peak of the pile, placing one last item; an unopened physical copy of the Collector’s Edition of Kevin’s School, then went to the podium, where Master Kohga stood on her right side and Byte on her left.
“Now, let us begin.”
On cue, a Yiga Clan member who was quite conspicuously a default TF2 Pyro with a Yiga mask glued to their gas mask hefted their flamethrower and set the pile of offerings ablaze. Two of the teletubbies started screaming in agony, while the catgirl maid one was seemingly unphased.
“This is fine.”
As the offerings burned, the assembled Yiga Clan Members circled the fire and began to chant in order to strengthen their dark mistress’s already formidable powers.
“Fruit Salad, Yummy Yummy. Fruit Salad, Yummy Yummy…”
And so it went as Welony began to glow an ominous red, raising her hands to the corpse and pouring her power into it.
“HEAR ME VENGEFUL SPIRIT! I HAVE OPENED A CHANNEL TO THE LIVING REALM! RETURN TO YOUR EARTHLY VESSEL AND SERVE ME, AND YOU SHALL HAVE YOUR REVENGE!”
In answer to her calls, the corpse rose into the air, and both it and the bonfire were quickly engulfed in blinding white light. Catgirl teletubby was still unconcerned despite being reduced to a flaming skeleton in a cute dress at this point.
“I am okay with the events that are transpiring.”
Eventually it was too much and the group shielded their eyes from the glow, which then died down as quickly as it came. And when they did look, they saw that both the corpse and the offerings had been replaced by a hulking, skeletal figure.
It was clear from the body shape and pixelated art style that this had, at one point, been Francis. However, he was now several times his original size and just as picked clean of flesh as he had been moments ago. He was augmented with a variety of mechanical components, most prominently a wide array of different weapons mounted on his arms and tail, a vacuum tube running from the back of his head to the inside of his left hand, and two parallel rows of Splatoon-style Ink Tanks running down his spine. Both his eye sockets and a pulsing orb in his ribcage glowed dark purple. A Zelda-style Boss Caption appeared before him.
The Incel’s Vengeance
Stal-Zuccer
He leered down at the watermelon girl who had summoned him, and for a moment it looked as though he might attack her…before he ultimately kneeled, “SEN…PAI…”
Welony’s mouth stretched into a wide, sadistic grin, “Boys, how do you feel about a trip to the Splatlands?”
Kohga erupted into evil laughter, while Byte simply smirked, “I’ll pack my bags.”

WTNV quick rundown - 66 - worms...
Featuring the voice of Mara Wilson as The Faceless Old Woman.
We all lie dreamily upon damp earth spotting clouds shaped like animals we have yet to invent. Welcome to Night Vale.
NV is suffering from an infestation of worms, as it did 12 years ago. They're doing all of the 'usual worm things': flying around and dropping trees onto cars and houses, spitting venom as well as eating stray cats and then leaving large, mewling pellets all about town. They've completely enveloped the Rec Center annex, which iwas holding a Continuing Education Course: Counter-Terrorism Techniques for Beginner.
City Council, initially classifying the crisis on a warning scale as 'worms...' updates it to 'Worms!!' which isn't as bad as 'WORMS' but has the potential to be as destructive as the WORMS! (and twice underlined) outbreak of 1997.
The SSP are too busy with the worms to deal with trying to find Hiram or the FOW, who are still at large. Cecil recounts in third person how they have tried to harm Dana several times, resulting in him being puppetted into her helping her. He continues, in third person, to express how he still believes she bought him in the aunction and has been using him to help her without asking. 'Frank Chen' says he saw Hiram flying far away so Hiram is absolutely not still in NV. Eventually the worms are beaten back by the SSP armed with flamethrowers.
Cecil however, has been distracted from the worms problem due to really wanting to see Carlos. He laments openly about how it's weird that people can't go into the dog park and openly admits he wants to try and break into it so he can go and visit Carlos.
The FOW appears in Cecil's radio booth and seems eager to both absolve herself and Hiram and to get Cecil out of NV so he won't save Dana. She disguises this as wanting to help and tells him how he will have a dream from which he will wake and be told how to get into the dog park.
He then receives a black envelop from Station Management with a glyph on it which scares him into thinking he's in trouble for questioning the dog park being forbidden. He instantly apologises for doing so, but Station Management tells him that he misread the glyph. The glyph on his envelop is the abbreviation for human resources, who have approved his vacation. They then show him the actual glyph which means what he thought the first one meant and he falls unconscious for 'some time'. During which he receives the message about getting into the dog park as foretold by the FOW.
Weather: "Little Black Star" by Hurray for the Riff Raff http://hurrayfortheriffraff.com
After years of trying, NV is finally allowed to have a Book Club. It will be run by Tamika Flynn at Patty's Hardware & Discount Pastries (“Shop at Patty’s! They’ll never suspect a thing!,” Patty shouts in the looped recording playing from her perpetually squirming animatronic statue out front of her flagship store) Tuesdays from 2-4 pm.
Spring League tryouts are being held from 10am to 2pm 'next Saturday' with volunteer coaches Betty Lucero and Lusia Tereshchenko. There is a joke here hinting at the ridiculous idea of assigning kids into teams based purely on their dispositions which directly parodies the house sorting mechanic in the HP series. Coach Tereshchenko died over 150 years ago and is now a ghost.
Craigslist in NV apparently just sells your things to random people without your consent. Citizens by the name of Denise Esposito, Sally Jansen, Mario Landis and Pedro Reyna are mentioned.
It seems that Cecil did indeed get the voicemails and describes Kevin vaguely as a 'colleague? acquaintance? nemesis?'.
Cecil expresses that sometimes he becomes weary of NV itself, likely because of events that put him in danger or take over him to help others and other such things which leave him in constant danger and anxiety.
I'll be back. Whenever. Refreshed. You'll know when. It'll be when you hear my voice again. Stay tuned next for… I don’t know. Anyway, time for vacation! Good night, Night Vale. [sound of headphones coming off; maybe a mic bump] [calling off mic; leaving the studio] GOOD NIGHT! Woo hoo!
Proverb: When you wish upon a star, your dreams come true, but - because of distance - not for millions of years.

'Get Ready For It': Political Strategist Issues Dire Prediction About Mike Johnson
Komanduri said extremist Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) kickstarted the ousting of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) from the role three weeks ago at “the behest” of Donald Trump because McCarthy “did not shut down the government and create an atmosphere of chaos by which” the former president could win back the White House.
But Johnson will “do Donald Trump’s bidding,” he envisioned.
“Get ready for it. We’ll have a government shutdown,” he predicted. “We’re going to shut down aid to Ukraine to help Trump’s major benefactor, (Russian President) Vladimir Putin. That’s what’s going to occur.”
Johnson is “every bit the flamethrower” as Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), who lost his bid to become speaker despite being endorsed by Trump.
Johnson “just wears a pair of glasses and dons a Clark Kent disguise,” Komanduri added.

Solar Opposites in: Ultra Opposites Scene from “New Ultra Opposites Part. 1”: “ENOUGH!” (for @avaveevo)
Yumyulack/Psylock: Aw man. Well, how was I supposed to know? I didn’t know our friends will get powers!
Principal Cooke/Super Cooke: Well guess what?! Our friends have uncontrollable powers!
Jesse/Electra: Hey! Lay off him guys!
Miss Frankie/Shadow Lady: Well, your brother caused our friends to have powers! They are freaking out!
Darcy/Miss Darcina: And to make matters worse, so does big stupid Janice!
Daryl/Dark Matter: Hey lay off my boyfriend will ya?
Jamie/Firey: He started it.
Yumyulack/Psylock: gulps Um, maybe we should just calm down? laughs nervously
Everyone, except for Psylock and Solar Flare, then starts arguing. Psylock looks at Solar Flare nervously and says sorry silently. Solar Flare then finally have enough as he puts his foot down and says…
Terry/Solar Flare: ENOUGH! flares up
Then silence fell as the others look at Solar Flare in shock and Psylock squint nervously. Then, Legendary Super Shlorpian, Lady Super Shlorpian, The Master, Agent Red, Pezlie and Lady Roseus arrives as Solar Flare breathes in and out.
Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Guys! We came as soon as we heard and… oh.

Rest of the Ultra Opposites: remorsefully Sorry Terry and Korvo.
Solar Flare, Agent Red, Lady Super Shlorpian, The Master, Lady Roseus and Legendary Super Shlorpian look at them sternly and firmly. Then, Solar Flare calms down and takes a deep breath as the flame cools down.
Terry/Solar Flare: Sorry for yelling.
Legendary Super Shlorpian puts a comforting hand on his husband as he smiles at him.
Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: It’s okay. You were just stressed by this whole tension. Turns his attentions towards his children and friends and frenemies But look, guys. I know our friends got powers by accident. But, it was the orbs that chose them for a reason. And now you are all freaking out like they’re gonna die fucking die or something? the rest of the Ultra Opposites look down sadly
Agent Red: Just give them time guys. They might wanna get use to having their powers.
All: remorsefully Okay.
Solar Flare looks down for yelling at his friends. But, the Master puts a comforting hand on Solar Flare’s left shoulder as the two exchange brotherly smiles. Then, Violet came.
Sherbet/Violet: Guys! Guys!
Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: What is it?! What’s wrong?!
Sherbet/Violet: Ms. Perez is in trouble! We have to go help her!

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN
October 17, 2023 (Tuesday)
HEATHER COX RICHARDSON
OCT 18, 2023
This morning, the Ukrainian military launched a surprise attack on two Russian airfields in occupied Ukraine, using a longer-range missile system secretly supplied in the last few weeks by the United States. The Army Tactical Missile System, or ATACMS, has a range of about 100 miles, or 161 kilometers. It enabled the Ukrainians to damage runways and destroy nine Russian helicopters. The missiles also killed a number of Russian soldiers. One of the conditions of Ukraine’s acquisition of these weapons was that they would only be used within Ukraine against the occupiers, not in Russia itself. 
The thirty-one M1 Abrams main battle tanks the U.S. had promised Ukraine have all arrived, the U.S. confirmed today. All the Ukrainian military personnel who trained to use those tanks in Germany have also returned.
A recent Russian offensive has been largely unsuccessful, while the Ukrainian goal of dividing the Russian invaders in two (much as the U.S. did to the Confederacy) has been partially achieved but troops have not punched through. At the same time, strategic Ukrainian attacks have pushed Russia’s Black Sea fleet out of its main base in the Crimean port of Sevastopol, and the Institute for the Study of War assesses that the attacks on the airfields will force Russia to pull its aircraft back and either to disperse its ammunition depots or to fortify them. 
Meanwhile, the struggle in the House of Representatives today looked like a preview of the 2024 election. 
Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH), a staunch supporter of former president Trump and a key figure in the attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, is pushing hard for election as speaker, emphasizing how imperative it is for the House Republicans to enable the House to get back to business. As Karoun Demirjian outlined in the New York Times, Jordan and his allies have deployed a pressure campaign against those Republicans opposed to him, as she puts it, “working to unleash the rage of the party’s base voters against any lawmaker standing in his way.” 
This is the same tactic that the extremists have used for decades to move the Republican Party to the right. But there is a different dynamic at play in this speakership crisis. Jordan and his allies created the crisis in the first place by supporting Trump’s demands to shut down the government, tossing out former speaker Kevin McCarthy because he would not agree to shut down the government, and refusing to abide by the vote of the Republican conference to accept the choice of the majority: first McCarthy and then Representative Steve Scalise (R-LA).
There is another way in which this moment is different. Jordan is a flamethrower who was one of the original organizers of the right-wing Freedom Caucus. Republicans saw McCarthy, who was an excellent fundraiser, as a pro-business Republican who worked with the far right, but Jordan is the real deal: a far-right extremist. Republican donors have already suggested they are not enthusiastic about working with him to fund Republican candidates.
The third way this moment is different is that putting Jordan in the speaker’s chair makes him, along with Trump, the face of the Republican Party going into the 2024 election. Representative Pete Aguilar (D-CA) previewed the many downsides of Jordan as speaker when he nominated Democratic minority leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) for the speaker’s chair. Aguilar blamed extremism and partisanship for the unprecedented chaos of the House and urged the Republicans to embrace bipartisanship to do the work the American people had sent them to Washington, D.C., to conduct. 
Aguilar noted that Jordan was “the architect of a nationwide abortion ban, a vocal election denier, and an insurrection inciter.” He has “spent his entire career trying to hold our country back, putting our national security in danger, attempting government shutdown after government shutdown, wasting taxpayer dollars on baseless investigations with dead ends, authoring the very bill that would ban abortion nationwide without exceptions, and inciting violence on this chamber. Even leaders of his own party have called him ‘a legislative terrorist.’” 
Aguilar pointed out Jordan’s opposition to disaster relief, veterans’ relief, support for Ukraine, and military aid to our allies, including Israel, and added: “This body is debating elevating a speaker nominee who has not passed a single bill in 16 years. These are not the actions of someone interested in governing or bettering the lives of everyday Americans.” Jordan as speaker would mean the Republican Party would “continue taking marching orders from a twice-impeached former president with more than 90 pending felony charges.”
Even without mentioning Jordan’s involvement with the cover-up of a sexual assault scandal at Ohio State, Aguilar put Republicans on notice that placing Jordan at the head of the party would have brutal consequences in Democratic campaign ads. 
When House members voted for speaker, the Democrats were unified behind Jeffries, who won all 212 of their votes. Jordan won only 200 of the 217 votes necessary to become speaker, with 20 Republicans voting for someone else. His allies initially said they would call a second vote tonight but changed their minds, apparently realizing that another loss would weaken his candidacy significantly. They say they will hold another vote tomorrow.
Tonight, hundreds of people were killed in an explosion at a packed hospital in Gaza City. Palestinian authorities blamed an Israeli airstrike for the explosion; hours later, Israel Defense Forces said the explosion was a misfired missile launched as part of a “barrage of rockets” by the Islamic Jihad militant group. Neither version of events has been confirmed.
Governments around the region have blamed Israel and sometimes the U.S. for the catastrophic loss of life, and protests have broken out in Lebanon, Iran, and Turkey as President Joe Biden travels to the region personally to demonstrate U.S. support for Israel, pressure Israel to permit humanitarian aid into Gaza, learn any new information about the hostages, and to try to keep the conflict from widening and escalating. 
Biden will meet in Tel Aviv, Israel, with Israeli leaders, first responders, and families of hostages, but the second leg of his trip—to Jordan, for a meeting with King Abdullah II, Palestinian Authority president Mahmoud Abbas, and Egyptian president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi—was canceled as Abbas rushed home. National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby told reporters Biden would speak with Abbas and Sisi on the trip back to the U.S.
