People keep confusing Gavin Newsom's social media team with the man himself. Admittedly, they have some clever moments. The man himself is a snake who is willing to sell out trans people, poor people, immigrants, etc... in exchange for political convenience.
I feel like an ad tally of AI bullshit vs sports gambling would be a decent competition.

Seeing the Neil Gaiman redemption attempt. Just because what was done might be within the confines of "legal" doesnt mean it isnt deeply immoral and wrong. In the same way, that what ICE defines as "illegal" doesn't mean it is immoral and wrong.
Unfortunately it removes the sorting feature which i have gotten very used to. I wish it were more a la carte
Regardless of legality they have also convinced themselves that being undocumented is a moral wrong. Which is such bs.
How many people posting the "injustice anywhere" MLK quote today are perfectly ok with banning Trans kids from sports for its political convenience?
Oh hey are you talking about murderer Jonathan Ross? Who did murder. Much like murderer Kyle Rittenhouse? And rapist Brock Turner?
Last year, for no specific reason, I started the year obsessively listening to Aeroplane Over the Sea all January..... now its January again and... here I am again feeling compelled to listen to it. The brain is weird and wants what it wants.
Im not going to bother with "discourse". I like the things I like. Stranger Things stuck the landing. 5 seasons... every single one of them is GOOD. Several of them are GREAT. The Finale was GREAT.
I BELIEVE!
I was facing pressure of late go back to watching football, "Sure, Let me see what's going on with the Patriots.. oh... RIGHT now i remember why i stopped watching." Im sorry for those who still enjoy it but... fuck! Football is a toxic culture, excusing some horrific shit.
Apparently Linus and Lucy was actually written for a shulz documentary that didnt air. So... he he must have been primed for that level of freedom when being associated with peanuts. "Tree falling in the woods" level of artistry.
We have reached the "Radio-free-europe-ing episodes of 60 minutes to Americans" phase of "Free Speech."
Love the show, but "Because it is the norm" isn't something ANY dropout show should be saying. if the answer is "because it is too expensive..." I think we'd understand. I would just love to see a ANY reality competition that doesn't use time as the main limiter. Let artists cook....
Andor was so good it made Rogue One (an already great movie) better.
Im surr it will turn out fine. BTW do you hear church bells? I feel like they are ringing at LEAST 28 times.. maybe more.
Honestly a star trek anthology series that jumps around different species and stories would be AMAZING.
When I was a kid, there was an episode of He-Man where he teamed up with Skeletor to fight another evil. With Dick Cheney dying, I want to say... I offer him the same grace I offer to Skeletor, you were evil as fuck, I am glad you spoke out against Trump, But you were still a horrid person.
Regardless of the complex issues surrounding the latter, I am happy as a Massachusetts voter that I can just watch Mamdani and Platner videos and enjoy the weidly hopeful feelings they make me feel about our future politics. Maybe its fake, maybe its real, but I enjoy it regardless.
I believe him when he says he didnt know. If you watch his video explaining it, its pretty compelling. He got the tattoo on a drunken night with his military buddies and got a "skull and crossbones". Their tattoos were repeatedly vetted by the military and found to not be problematic.
This feels like an effective way to create a tiered fandom based on how much someone can afford. Something I'd expect from,... (honestly) literally all other fandoms, but something I'm disappointed to see from a company I respect.

The whole "unplugged" format was such a perfect format for music at that time. It accounts for my favorite Nirvana AND Alice in Chains albums, and I was always pleasantly surprised when I hear bands I liked less on that show too (like STP... when I discovered S. Weiland had a beautiful voice)
and now its being reported that Sinclair and Nexster affiliates STILL wont air Kimmel. Again. Consumers dont matter... all that matters to these people are shareholders. You cant cost them more than they would lose if they get their $6 Billion dollar merger blocked.
I am far more cynical about the Kimmel return. It is more likely because the white house can say the "message was sent" and Nexstar was told they will still get their 6 billion dollar merger. The boycott reportedly cost them 1/6th of that. Nowhere near enough to appease shareholders.
Is there a place where you would recommend those who have read all the other books, but have the memory of a goldfish and not time to reread all of them should go to get a succinct summary of the other books that will prep up for this one?
I know this goes against both sides' narrative. But.. this whole thing is starting to look less like "politically motivated violence" and more like every other unhinged mass shooter we have had for the last 30+ years.
I didn't have the Metropolitan Opera AND the Wrestlemania both selling out to Saudi Arabia in the course of like 2 weeks on my Bingo card.
Im not really compelled to compliment the governor who bragged about kicking homeless people while they are down and who throws trans people under the bus, using the plagiarism engine to troll a marginally more shitty fascist dickhead. but man on facebook people are REALLY into it.
Aside from "read them again" how best would you recommend someone reacquaint themselves with the OMW plot before The Shattering Peace? I loved the first 6 but it feels like a long time since i read them. My actual old man brain... can't remember a damn thing.
