I'm glad he's dead, and I hope every second of the process was extremely painful. And now may the rest of his corpse rot to match his already rotten heart.
God it would be so funny if she armed herself while in the Capitol like that time Boebert made a bit stink about it, only this time explicitly to protect herself from her former colleagues.
I guess this explains the weird nets and cages, looks like all the drones go for what I assume is a weak point where the turret meets the fuselage? Terrifying shit.
He even stated that the flight was only halted because an ambulance was responding to medical emergencies onboard the plane and had strategically parked in the path of the aircraft, preventing it from taxiing and sending the refugees "into the ovens". This "delay" also gave time for other South African heads of state to intervene.
I'm always amazed at how relatively little these ghouls sell their soul for. Half these fucking zionazis can't even pay off their mcmansion's mortgage with their isntreal blood money.
Idk about the aliens, but I do suspect the rats were already in a hivemind, because it would explain why the first human patient zero to join them acted so weird. My headcanon is currently that the rat hivemind became smart enough to figure out they could spread to the humans by one of them playing dead. I guess we'll find out soon enough if animals are part of the hivemind, their nonviolence towards all life seems to hint at it. (Uncritical support to the vegan hivemind.)
Oh yeah, I'm loving the mix of immune people from all around the world, and also the absolute flex of episode 2 showing Zosia'a trip as the hive mind effortlessly moves her and the rest of the immune across the planet in perfect synchronization. That was neat.
I'm pretty certain Helen died of a brain bleed while undergoing the joining. She fell backwards right onto her head, and then appeared to be developing raccoon eyes in the brief shot before she finally passes.
The virus went airborne when they released those chemtrails Carol and Helen were looking up at outside of the bar. I don't think we see them loading the planes with weaponized viruses or anything beyond the swabbing themselves into agar plates, I think the remaining details are just left up to assumption. But like when the bar patrons get infected, I assume that's just the chemtrails finally settling across the ground and getting inhaled.
At least, when the dems cave we can get a lot of mileage out of pointing out their class collaboration. I've been doing my best to plant seeds about how our blue state gov's inaction against ICE, all while his state troopers actively protect them, amounts to nazi collaboration, and even normal libs seem pissed off enough to actually be receptive to this idea.
There are absolutely huge fissures in both dominant ideologies in this country right now that seem likely to only spiral further out of their control; it's a really unique moment for us to exploit.
The way Carol talks to the hive mind during the initial aftermath of "the joining" is how I talk to the "AI" agent my works makes me use. Shame it doesn't similarly cause all LLM's worldwide to simultaneously seize up. That'd be a cool feature I'd paid for.
A second rare earth crisis has hit the western economies
