I was about to say, you can’t even do a “teachable moments” sort of kid’s show with it because half the books are “teachable” in the sense of teaching a child to fire an RPG. Like, by only the eighth book (out of 56), one of them has already nearly died (maybe twice), and we also start getting thoughts like “could I murder my own brother if it came down to it”.

Generally, “I did illegal thing because my lawyer advised me to do illegal thing (also I have power to compel my legal team to say whatever I want)” is not a GREAT defense.

It’s so weird that he’s so homophobic. Ender’s Game is incredibly chock-full of homoeroticism.

Honestly, a lot of the Scully-focused episodes are great.

Actually lowering prices would require regulation, and he’s built his entire corporate campaign on “we’re getting rid of every regulation”. Much easier to make them look lower in comparison.

Ah yes, the imprecatory Psalms.

There’s a lot of issues with that, as my city found out. Converting an office space to code-compliant, safe housing is rather difficult, from the materials used to build the thing all the way to how it’s actually configured. You’re running new pipe, new electrical, probably having to actively gut the floor you’re working on to be compliant with housing codes and, more importantly, fire safety.

One of the worries of the Court is that this order could be retroactive. Native Americans were not citizens until the earlier half of the 20th century. Considering the plaintiffs kept bringing up Wong Kim Ark, it sounded like the Trump admin wanted the court to vacate a ruling from 1898, which could theoretically allow them to retroactively strip citizenship from people already granted it, perhaps even posthumously (meaning multiple generations of people would suddenly not be citizens).

Yeah, a hundred million people displacing to…wherever is going to put a lot of refugee crises to shame. Even a tenth of that would constitute a huge problem. I feel that this is Miller trying to pretext death camps and mass murder.

Neither in this case, I think Vance is on that good old-fashioned zealotry of the convert.

At least that we know of as a country, we do not have people deployed in the country proper as of yet. They’re all set up in a dozen little airbases ready to fly and die, but we do not have soldiers actively in Iran.

Ivanova is God.

Or if you prefer season 3, “God sent me.”

Nah, a lot of them want the kids part as well. Neonazism is fully alive and thriving in a lot of incel spaces, and as such an alarming amount of them are obsessed with continuing their race or whatever.

My work phone for my old job, lived at work. When I clocked off, unless management really wanted to go dragging my actual cell number out of my resume, I was unreachable. If it’s that much of an emergency, you can get someone else.

Yeah, I thought the larger body of evidence all but proves that it was a wet market source.

It’s not because he’s a bitch. He’s so obsessed with LEGACY and his name being on SOMETHING that he’ll do it just because the headlines will read “Trump deploys weapon not used since 1945”.

“Runs when parked”

Yeah, it would look like that Spetsnaz drop on Kyiv’s airport.

Not just in Iran, Lindsey Graham seems to think we’re also gonna invade Cuba, probably parts of Latin America, and who knows, maybe Canada or Mexico to top it off. Multi-front wars aren’t a bad idea right? We have the logistics to fight two separate long-term wars, so what’s a third or a fifth?
