California is a little further east than I remember! (Three Mile Island is in Pennsylvania)
Weirdly, there was a movie that came out 12 days BEFORE the incident called The China Syndrome which was centered on a fictional nuclear power plant accident in Los Angeles—maybe that's what you're remembering?

What the purpose is about this entire project, it's not simply to raise class consciousness but to win socialism—and obviously raising class consciousness is a critical part of that—but making sure that we have candidates that both understand that and are willing to put that forward at every which moment that they have, at every which opportunity that they're given. We have to continue to elect more socialists, and we have to ensure that we are unapologetic about our socialism.
There are also other issues that we firmly believe in, whether it's BDS, right, or whether it's the end goal of seizing the means of production, where we do not have the same level of support at this very moment. And what I want to say is that it is critical that the way that we organize, the way that we set up our, you know, set up our work and our priorities, that we do not leave any one issue for the other. That we do not meet a moment and only look at what people are ready for, but that we are doing both of these things in tandem. Because it is critical for us to both meet people where they're at and to also organize for what is correct and for what is right and to ensure that over time we can bring people to that issue.
The ramifications of victory here is the difference between life and death for so many of our brothers, sisters and family beyond the binary across this borough of Queens. It's the difference between having cash bail anymore. It's the difference between having sex work being decriminalized and not. And with every battle that we fight as socialists, we need to remember what the stakes are and ground ourselves in them and why those stakes are important and critical to us as individuals.
Idk if it's on the level of Dolphin Shoals, but that's definitely a tasty lick
I don't have any immediate guesses, but that's a good thing because this will finally force me to create my own lexicon based on the previously revealed glosses.
First I was going to try to fully automate pulling down the comments with the glosses by searching, grabbing the posts, and then grabbing the comments using the Lemmy API (the idea being I could update it in the future with a single keypress), but I quickly realized that actually trying to tease out the glosses was going to be this kind of automation situation. Instead, I did the sensible thing and just copy-pasted the eight sets of glossed synopses into a text file and poked them a bit with some regex until I got a text file with one {word|gloss} per line without extraneous punctuation. Now I've got a sorted and deduplicated list of word-gloss pairs, although I haven't tried to tease apart multimorphemic words or anything like that. Even this rudimentary organization is already helping me see some patterns of derivation and making the wheels turn a bit. At some point, it would be fun to make a program that would take a string of glosses and use a lexicon plus a set of derivation rules to generate the corresponding Manjatian text (including applying phonological rules), although I'm sure that's a lot easier said than done. Really taking me back to the compilers class I took in uni.
I'm kinda worn out right now so I don't have the mental bandwidth to actually use this to make some guesses, but I'll take a crack at it tomorrow!
edit: forgot to mention that I coded up the little script I used to do said data cleaning while listening to the Lucky Star OST! Can't believe it took you playing the episode preview music on Blorptube for me to realize that it has the same composer as Haruhi, considering the latter is one of my favorite OSTs of all time (where's my Lucky Star no Gensou?). To be fair, Lucky Star is one of the first proper anime I ever watched, so while I did watch it after Haruhi I don't think I was nearly as attuned to those things. I should really give it another watch some time considering how reference heavy it is. I mean, most of the references will still probably go over my head, but I'm sure I'll catch more than I did in 2007.
You need that Japanese bath reheating technology (it's the おいだき oidaki function referenced in that video)
