The NYT article is specifically about Andor

My dad is about 60. White Midwestern man. Loved trash TV right after reality TV had that first big wave. He loved the one about tow trucks and The Apprentice. My dad thought it was so cool.

I also had an ancient as shit 5th grade teacher in about 1999. She was maybe… 60? Older? She would always say dumb shit like “as rich as Donald Trump, but you guys are too young to know about him.”

In the Sopranos, Tony’s son is coming of age and his dad wants him to go to college so he doesn’t follow him into crime. But AJ tells his dad at one point he wants to becomr a helicopter pilot. And fly for people like Trump.

He was always lurking in the background. Like a celebrity for morons.

Maybe Mexico should have invaded Texas after George Floyd.

Its shocking how so much Russia defending sounds just like the Bush excuses for Iraq. “Well we didn’t find weapons of mass destruction, but the leader was just really awful so we had to, right?”

Incorporating an HOA or a company making a retirement village is not really the same as Amazon or Monsanto funding some sort of handshake with the state government to make some sort of lawless zone for them to take advantage of.

Don’t you need to give all your information to AI if you have ever interacted with the government in the past?

We tried to resolve this with legislation and the right wing crazies killed it each time. It’s not like the average Democratic voter wants an undocumented underclass. The business interests do. And the GOP leadership gets to fund raise on the caravans.

Most Americans want a better life for these people. Step one isn’t to spend a trillion dollars to deport them all.

They didn’t fire the bricks. Just formed the mud and hoped for the best (?)

That’s capitalism

In theory, the death penalty makes some sense. It’s a right the government reserves for itself (violence) and I think in some contexts it makes sense to be on the table. In practice, it’s more expensive than a life sentence, and it’s a blunt and racist tool to maintain unjust social and state power.

I wish every governor and president commuted 95% of death penalty situations. It’s a major injustice that most executions were carried out, even for those who belief it’s something the government should be doing.

Right but then someone who doesn’t share your cult might try to get medical care you disagree with or something.

For the greater good!

A quick Google shows there expense ratio is 86% which I think isn’t horrible.

Yeah but my daughter lost a volleyball game so fuck you

People on the internet: well he was never indicted and convicted so we should let it all go

Me: so what was all that money for? Braces?

Invest in Hawaiian. Maybe Trump can add a few more islands out there so we can compete and export.

It’s almost like maybe we could try a new political system. Whiplash was not intended but is now obviously the best case scenario.

Newspaper and politicians are never going to challenge capitalism.

I’m really excited to save five dollars a year on eggs and lose $5400 a year on everything else. Omelletes have never tasted so sweet.

Every time the power goes out…!
