See an RT score of like 90% tells me this is something I'll probably have a decent time with, but also probably sorta bland

An RT score of like 60% tells me that I might love it or might hate it, but if I love it then its probably going to be my shit

I think trying to give objective quality scores to art is just inherently dumb.

We had this down to a science once upon a time

Many are likely themselves in the Epstein files and doing anything they can to prevent their release

They're all locked in a death pool. The second Trump is removed, there's going to be a reckoning for how many crimes Republicans have committed and so far gotten away with. So they have to support Trump as long as they can, even as he does war crimes. Mutually assured destruction.

We desperately need more of this

Evil ghouls are able to wash away all their sins by saying "I'm Christian though" but you really aren't, buddy

I had the opportunity to confront Pete Hegseth's bigoted spiritual mentor, Pastor Doug Wilson, and call him out on his history of hate, his misreading of the Bible, his hijacking of Jesus, and his cosplay Crusading.

It was worth it.

Please please don't fire me

Is that a live action photo shoot? Woof

No, not AI gandolfini, just recast him and nobody says anything. Its an alternate universe anyways he can be different.
