Interesting question about Severance: Within the world of the show, is there anything to the “4 Tempers” framework that Lumon uses for its brain science work? Or is it just pseudoscience?

They invented the severance chip, of course, but does that actually rely on the 4 Tempers theory to work?

As a rebuke to Bezos' right-wing editorial meddling at the Washington Post, we've canceled our Amazon Video ad-free subscription and our Amazon Prime renewal. I don't feel I'm doing enough to combat Trumpian insanity in our politics, but it is important to do something.

Trump firing the 300 people who oversee our nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile and then realizing the gravity of his mistake before trying to backtrack is a perfect encapsulation of how is dangerous incompetence is putting the entire world at risk.

Don’t let anyone forget it.

The CFPB has:

-Returned $20B to victims of financial fraud
-Cracked down on junk fees
-Fought against politically-motivated debanking
-Protected veterans from predatory lenders
-Protected consumers' data from corporate abuse

Oligarchs want to reverse all of this.
Laws Are Not Suggestions: How the CFPB Is Delivering for the American People - American Economic Liberties Project
Under Director Rohit Chopra, the CFPB has held scammers like Wells Fargo accountable, returning billions of dollars of Americans’ hard-earned money to their bank accounts; fought back against Wall Street and Big Tech’s discriminatory and anti-competitive behavior; ensured violating the law can no longer be written off as just a “cost of doing business;” and restored financial freedom to millions of Americans held hostage by the credit reporting cartel.

I think Mark now has a dual quest: recover Gemma, and recover Helly R! One is physically trapped in the belly of a tyrannical corporation, the other is trapped in the mind of a ruthless and deceitful but lonely and enamored Eagan scion! Go Mark!

Severance thesis: Lumon lies constantly, but the show is always honest with the viewer.

I try to be very non-judgmental about taste. Some things I adore might not do anything for you. And things that move you might do nothing for me. And that is fine. People are different. We shouldn’t get all snobby about it.

But in my heart of hearts, I look down on people who don’t like Severance.

I’m starting to read Stone Blind by Natalie Haynes. Enjoying it.

Hot take: Being a medusa is actually a blessing, not a curse. You can petrify with your gaze! You’ve got snakes that drip deadly venom! In some mythologies, you have wings and can fly. Totally overpowered.

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees:

Don’t accept a buyout.

Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer.

And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it?

TV Shows that hit home so hard that people who work in the same setting sometimes say they can’t watch:

-Abbot Elementary (public school teaching)
-Silicon Valley (tech workers)

Anyone want to add to the list?

I just want to put out there that tariffs are a terrible idea, and that most Americans don’t have anything against Mexico or Canada. 🇲🇽🇨🇦🩷

#Severance crazy prediction: There’s another Music Dance Experience to celebrate 75% of Cold Harbor refined. Milchick is being totally groovy, as expected.

Then, Natalie, there to convey The Board’s congratulations, starts to groove with Milchick, and it turns out SHE’S AS GOOD A DANCER AS HE IS!
