When I was a kid, I had a toy of the probe droid from star wars, and I thought it was really cool. However, because I didn’t know the term “probe” in a recon sense, just in the alien abduction sense, I thought that it was a robot meant to stick things in your butt. Either way, great design.
I’ve read a couple books on him and that’s correct iirc. Wasn’t known to crossdress, I’ve never heard of a Jorgensen reference, and nothing more than speculation that he was trans. It wasn’t a gender thing for him, it was an obsession with his mother and a broken mind. Never used a chainsaw either.
Sitting on my sunny balcony, eating pigs in a blanket, drinking a refreshing beverage, and reading a book on witchcraft. Experts are calling it a “nice afternoon.”
She was looking at the lamp, sighing, and I asked her if she was gonna get it. She said no. We walked toward the checkout, and when I turned back to ask her a question, she was clutching the lamp and a bottle of lavender syrup to her chest as one would their beloved children.
I invented a new game to play with my cats. It’s called “little bug, big bug.” How we play is I point at my younger cat and say “little bug,” and usually she meows, and then I point at my older cat and say “big bug,” and she does nothing. That’s it. It’s really fun, I think they love it.
The main plot so far has been a “sabotage dad’s date” storyline, which seems to be turning into an “our stepmother might be a black widow” thing. They’re doing a Monkeyshines bit. Baby Billy wants another show. It just feels like for a final season, we’ve seen it all before. This could be anything.
I’m not liking the 4th season of Righteous Gemstones. I’m 5 eps in and it feels like they didn’t have any strong main storyline ideas to carry a final season. The writing has felt formulaic the whole series, but it feels especially like they’re recycling 90s sitcom plot lines for this season
It is portrayed as far more progressive and caring than actual evangelical groups. From actively supporting militia groups, to exploiting the impoverished, to spearheading the movement to strip lgbtq rights, I could go on. There’s such a weird dissonance between how they’re shown and what they are
I’m not done with the series yet, but once it is revealed a character is gay, it is never questioned or criticized by the pastors or congregation. In fact, everyone is so cool with him leading a gay faith group in an evangelical church that he is nominated for an award by an evangelical group.
Like they’re based on real people who have done real evil in the US and abroad. I don’t need it to be a scathing indictment or anything, but it does more work to redeem evangelical pastors, tent revivalists, hucksters, and even violent right wing militias than criticize them.
I’ve been watching a lot of The Righteous Gemstones this past week since I’ve been sick, and while it’s fun if I don’t think about it too closely, it’s hard not to think about how much it pulls its punches and kinda whitewashes evangelical pastors and megachurches, especially these of days.
Nah, I’ll skip this one. If it’s important I’ll find out regardless. If it fizzles out, I’m not wasting any extra time being scared and mad when I could be playing with my cats.
