Fiercely liberal, unabashedly nerdy. Cantankerous, mouthy, and defiant. Too many pets (as if!). LGBTQ+ ally and safe space. Fuck intolerance!

Rise up and live it."

Just a big bird, hello. No relation to Creepy Dave. Okay, BYE.
Rules for thee but not for me. It's the Republican way. Only OTHER people are held accountable for their actions.

Also the Supreme Court already handed out absolute immunity to the president for anything done officially while in office, so there's not a fucking thing Trump can do to Biden about anything, even if it WAS illegal (hint: it wasn't).

Fucking senile moron.

Projection much? Clearly he's the one who isn't really running anything and handing the actual day to day running of the country over to his ghoulish cronies and villainous taskmasters.

The bastard pardoned thousands of people on day one for the J6 insurrection, as if that wasn't done by auto-pen?

Remember: if you destroy a trash can and a whole cooked roast falls out, this is fine. The roast is fresh and hot and ready to consume. Doing so will heal you completely, through the magic of Thanksgiving. A holiday miracle!

Seems like the former to me.

To each their own, but I got lots of insight from this book, things that made me see past issues in a light my then-partners never managed to convey, which in turn made it easier to see other perspectives in future.

You get back what you're willing to put in I guess. 😁

Nagoski is standard recommended reading in online "dead bedroom" support groups. She really knows her stuff and presents it in a way that is helpful to both parties!

Pirating outlandishly overpriced textbooks, on the other hand...

The truth of capitalism. Greed always wins. It Trumps (😝) everything, even morality. Corporations will do literally anything they can get away with to make more money, even if it kills people. Strong regulations that are actually enforced are the ONLY way to curtail it. They won't stop on their own.

It really is a shame the movie as a whole (and honestly the whole trilogy) is so bad. Moments of glory and the bones of an incredible story, mired in garbage and self-indulgent muck of a director nobody could say no to.

God, what an epic it could have been, better executed in an alternate universe.

Kenobi blocking the strike behind his head overhanded then snapping a downward swing to block the second strike right in front of his face all as one smooth motion is literally a perfect defense, and MacGregor made it look effortless. A stunning show of skill all around in less than half a second.

Then proceeded to script the absolute perfection of Kenobi successfully defending a two-bladed assault with a single blade of his own (which any combat veteran will tell you is fucking HARD because a competent opponent constantly has you in a state of double jeopardy).

It's like the choreographer was blocking out the greatest sequence of his career, then left to take a shit and let his intern dick around for a minute and screw it all up, then came back and went "What'd I miss? Fuck it, I'm sure it's fine."

Duel of the Fates is the best fight sequence Star Wars has ever put to film, music and action both, right up until Qui-Gon fights Maul solo and just randomly dies to a total rookie error. So out of place. Absolute fire aside from that, and again when Maul just DOESN'T DEFEND at the very end.

More rich people propaganda to try and make the rest of us accept worse living conditions to enable their grift!

This list is total bogus. Blazing Saddles done dirty. Is this thing just AI slop that someone hastily made minor edits to and shoved out the door?

Come on, Variety. There's differences in taste, and then there's straight up comedic malpractice. 😝

Naked Gun was a fun movie, but I've seen it twice in my life and that was more than enough. I feel no compulsion whatsoever to revisit it or quote it.

Police Squad is a way better comedy and movie. And I'd happily watch Loaded Weapon for the 20th time before I'd even consider rewatching Naked Gun.

Don't forget The Woz!

It's the only logical way forward. They've made their choice, and it's self-destruction. So our choice is fall on their sword, or move on without them, to make better allies and forge a better future. Easy decision.
