My takeaways this week.. “Independents”?!? Given their relative disinterest in current events I’d think we could come up with a better label for them. And, what’s up with overdose deaths in the west since 2023?

Agree here.. while I am curious about what is up with the chair company, after one episode I found watching the main characters behavior too much to take. Perhaps mistreating members of the hive is easier to stomach?

I’m willing to take for granted that when they tweak out, sh&t happens and many die (unintentionally).. I’m just curious to see how Carol navigates this. It seems most of the other immune folks are fine with it. That may not last though

Perhaps.. it did seem others simply vibrated in place.. but that raises other questions: why did she (or the other millions) die? What about the ones who died when Carol upset them?

Not at all trying to defend the hive mind here, but they (it?) didn’t intend to kill her wife.. she fell back and hit her head. I guess wasting a ton of food and forcing a bunch of worker drones to perform pointless labor is how you NOT show them any consideration?

She’s learning.. perhaps taking a specially prepared gift meal is better than restocking an entire store only she will visit..

So true. I’m at a point now where I can’t sit through a 2hr movie

Case in point.. BBC.. Maybe if we fire some of the individuals responsible, he won’t be upset… nope

I still don’t understand why we don’t have something closer to this here. My Nevada based utility doesn’t even have TOU.. well, that’s not true.. they have a 25yr old EV TOU for slightly cheaper power at night… back when off peak was the cheapest power vs when the sun is shining 🙄

If CA Prop 50 passes not only will that help level the playing field for the midterms but CA Republican house reps (like Kevin Kiley) could move much more toward the center throughout 2026 to try to hold onto their seats…
