Also…[Radical liberals] in this case equals [empathetic people who voted against a corrupt administration led by a criminal and rapist who approves of citizens getting killed for disliking his policies]. Really radical stuff.
Clintons had a chance to do the right thing but instead are sabotaging their own political party by imitating every other implicated party.
Speaking of tools…
Reading articles about Villains Land and Piston Peak and I am now completely detached from reality. I can’t believe this is Magic Kingdom.
Really wish the choice for Warner Bros wasn’t shooting squad vs gallows, but just returning to being its own company. Maybe one run by competent people. But here we are…guess I have to root for gallows.
Also it respects people from cultures that have certain letters with accent marks or symbols, never more obvious than ñ. Not using it is potentially misspelling a person’s name.
Look on the bright side, we get to see videos of actors walking with their younger selves and photos of Kobe Bryant welcoming the next dead athlete to heaven.
Pennsylvania people, we’d like a refund on Fetterman.
The AFC has had an embarrassing year
Basically equidistant between the Hackensack River, the Passaic River, and the meadowlands.
I quote “somewhere in the swamps of Jersey” with geographic accuracy.
They literally put protein in everything. Cheerios, water, macaroni, pancakes.
It’s a shame there aren’t many Batman villains and Hollywood has to keep featuring the same ones.
TIL that 3-point turns can be weaponized
Has anyone ever done a wide scale psychological study of active Threads users? I feel like it’s important to study such a rise in sociopaths.

It’s safe to say that online fandom is just terrible for everything right? Toxic positivity, toxic negativity. You have to really dig into obscure corners of obscure interests to have nuanced chats. Reminds me of how Dis Twitter was when we all first got on vs the influencer culture it spawned.
Using AI for “you’ve heard of Elf on the Shelf…” memes is the ultimate combining of two of the most insufferable social media trends.
Everything had some element of myth to it, and most of that still gets perpetuated. 50 years from now they’ll just open thousands of videos of this tangerine turd spewing nonsense and hatred…and it will be impossible to understand why the fuck this was happening.
The coverage of Sept 11 was a massive dynamic shift from the 20th century, but we were years away from mainstream smartphone usage and MySpace didn’t even exist. Think of how much exposure has increased in just the last 24 years. Now stack it against what we knew about JFK, Nixon, Reagan.
The thing about this point in history is that when they look back at this insanity, it wont be from grainy footage or a few memoirs or some government cases. The proof is literally everywhere. People will be just dumbfounded at all of this idiocy.
They don’t see it in their leaders and they are surrounded by people in their communities who preach about right or wrong while sneaking off to write depraved Tweets or firmly standing against who some kids really are. How the hell do we continue to implore the value of decency to these kids?
The impacts that having such openly vile opinions while your indiscretions and indecency towards others are championed will be virtually irreparable in whatever moral foundation is left for the future. How are we to raise children to be respectful of humanity when they rarely see it in adults?
Time to find a new baseball team.
Or maybe just a new sport since this one sucks.
Absolute dumpster fire. I’m about done with them.
Villains don’t need retroactive redemption arcs. You can show them just become bad people. If that’s not fun, don’t tell the story. Anti-heroes like Loki give you more freedom because from his introduction, we understood he had depth. Ones like Saul allow the story of consequences to be told.
One of the great things about Better Call Saul was how much it sidestepped what so many prequel stories seem to do lately. Sure it gave depth to Jimmy/Saul that we didn’t always see in Breaking Bad, but it didn’t attempt to justify his flaws. He made bad choices.
Me, 2 minutes into Wicked, Part 1:
“ugh why are they singing!?”
Me, listening to my wife and son describe Wicked: For the Sith:
“That’s a total retcon! It doesn’t make sense! She wasn’t misunderstood. Well at least tell me they eventually showed her as nasty and ugly?”
