I would die happy if I could watch an animated adaptation of Worm from the Parahumans universe. Live action would be cool, but I think a series in the same vein as Invincible would work well and could represent the source material better.

We’re trying 😭

I guess the point is that if a charismatic person steps into the void, the machine already has momentum. Doesn’t need to be one of those 3, necessarily. Hell, most people didn’t know who JD Vance was before he was picked for VP, and he’s slowly gaining support even though he had a rocky start with the charisma of a wet napkin.

They will rally behind anyone angry enough at the right people. Marjorie Taylor Green, Lauren Boebert, Ron DeSantis, just to name a few.

We will need to fight against fascism after we elect Harris for a long time.

“This is absolutely false,” Pfeiffer wrote in an email. “President Trump never said this.”

The only part that libertarians / conservatives will care about.

Joker: Folie à Deux.
The first movie was not about Joker, it is about Arthur. Joker is the unfortunate identity he takes on as a result of the events of the first film. But at the end of the day, he was just a guy. He was delighted but bewildered at the people rallying behind him.

!Folie a Deux picks up is after the police inevitably apprehend Arthur. He is on medication, and speaking to a mental health professional regularly. He doesn’t want to be Joker, but everyone around him expects him to be. The tragedy of the ending is that Arthur rejects the love and admiration he has earned, knowing it will not redeem him to the people who hate and fear him now. He chooses to be completely alone and powerless to stop hurting people.!<

As far as the musical numbers went, they were infrequent and clearly a representation of the connection between Arthur and Lee. There was at least one scene where we view Arthur from the perspective of onlookers after he finished singing and dancing, but all they saw was him staring at a TV or something. I always felt like the songs added to character development, but even if they weren’t your thing they were brief and heavily outweighed by scenes with just dialogue.

Can you imagine

The fluffiness of the animal is kind of irrelevant? Rats and pigeons are generally perceived as potential disease carriers, regardless if they are more likely than squirrels or doves to carry.

In all fairness, the article says the Nazi flag boat was hosed down when they tried to join the parade.

It still says a lot that our political climate let them think this was okay, but the people at the rally were not okay with it, or at least weren’t okay being that obvious.

They have a skill floor that you need to overcome, usually early on. Once you do that, the formula for the rest of the game follows suit.
Bloodborne is my favorite souls game. If you find it too challenging, I’d recommend watching some let’s plays which can have great advise. I don’t typically watch his channel, but Jacksepticeye has a really informative playthrough. He’s beaten the game so many times that he mostly just shows you the cheesy speed run methods for boss fights, however.

Call Her Daddy: title of a podcast
Question: what did going on this podcast do for Harris?
Answer: allowed her to reach young women in middle America that conventional news sources would not.

We need a new word for people with all the phobias. Bigot has lost its oomph, the pizaz, the gravitas.

I was reminded it exists today, does that count?

I’ll leave this here. Good resource for evaluating news sources as you come across them also.

Health, vision, and dental are all separate in the US.

Context is important, since the person saying this has a security detail and holds office where the threat of violence against them is real.

We all have a visceral reaction to this because we’ve had an adjacent experience at some point. You know it’s true.

I think the point is that incentivizing people to have more sex isn’t the answer to a declining birth rate.

Effects and the cause?
