This is one of my two main Terminator opinions, the other being that the good Terminator material knows it's a story about a scared but pissed off (or vice versa) single mother while the bad Terminator material thinks it's a story about killer robots from the future.

The transformation of Sarah Connor from T1 to T2 is just the action scifi-ification of the journey of a single mom in the 80s, I say as the child of a single mom in the 80s. You were raised to expect one kind of life and turns out the world isn't like that anymore, if it ever was.

i am struck, again, by that essential distinction between physical and moral courage. whatever physical courage admiral bradley may have, he appears to possess none of the latter.
The boat was split in half. 9 men were dead. 2 more clung to a floating piece of wreckage and tried desperately to flip it over for 41 minutes straight. There was no possible way they were going anywhere.
Then they were killed in cold blood by the U.S. military.

Bobby Portis is trying to give the fans what they want.
Bucks have a promotion where fans get free Culver's cheese curds with a purchase if the Bucks lead at the end of the 3rd. Objective better than the Pistons' free McDonald's 6-piece with six dunks promo

I honestly almost respect the arrogance to walk in that room and tell lawmakers with a straight face that people clinging to a burning/damaged boat were “continuing their drug mission,” a true navy seal special

I spent three years at DOE LPO trying to make the American auto industry more globally competitive because I believe, among other things, it's vital for the national industrial base.
I’m not giving up on that objective, but Trump is doing everything in his power to mortally cripple Detroit.

I was raised areligious, and I took an interest in studying religions when I was in college. I happily showed off my new bible to a religioius friend and she informed that it wasn't The Bible and she didn't want me to think it represents Christianity. I had apparently bought the Catholic version.
It’s easy to forget that evangelical Christians think that Catholics don’t count, but you can see little indications of it from the outside

America is extraordinarily radical in that there are tons of different ethnic groups here, and we not only generally get along with each other, but the law treats us all equal equally, and we all do the same shit like eat fried butter.

Anyway the best I've ever felt about America was me (Jewish) standing in line with my friend and her daughter (Irish and Latina) to pet a baby lamb at the Minnesota State Fair alongside a hijabi Black woman and her daughter, an East Asian family, an African-American family, and some white people.

This is highly unethical. Sabrina Carpenter is a smol bean.

This is what gets me. When you start getting angry about the beloved Songs for Littles creator, the phone is making you crazy and it's time to log off.
Do these people have any idea how fucking insane they sound to normal people?
Like if you grab a rand parent off the street and tell them that Ms. Rachel is turning kids into antisemites they’re gonna call the men in white coats.
