I have only one episode left of Search Party on Netflix. It's been a wild ride with each season somehow better than the last.

Every time there's tension because something bad could possibly happen, it pretty much always does happen. How the hell are they going to wrap this mess up?! 🀯

100%. The best time to get off of Twitter was the day Musk bought it. The second best time is now.

Do you think the elections in Russia have been legitimate too? If you'd look into this at all you'd see what I'm talking about. Trump primed the pump with all his baseless election denial nonsense so that we'd all close our eyes to his obvious fraud. Putin's playbook.

Whoever didn't show up to vote for Harris was wrong, completely.

That said, the election was very much stolen, and history will bear that out. I'm not asking you whether you agree with me, just stating a plain fact.

I happily voted for Kamala Harris and had a really good day, so... thanks?

I didn't know this song, but I guessed where it was going from the title. It still hit hard as hell.

If speaking up for Palestine wouldn't have helped her win, at least it would have helped PALESTINE! In hindsight, you have to admit that pandering to the right turned out to be the wrong call because she lost anyway and gave them false legitimacy.

Really though, the election was stolen so whatever.

This analogy reminds me very strongly of most people's attitude toward conspiracies. They've seen really stupid conspiracy theories getting pushed and swallowed by the worst people they know, so they tune out when anything sounds like a conspiracy. As if there aren't any real conspiracies. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

What I mean about moving to another country being so expensive is more than just the initial costs. It might be really hard to find a job that will allow you to keep paying your American debts.

That was a big part of why we picked Japan, but even so, we had to move back when student loans came due.

True. I was able to work in Japan because I'd earned a bachelor's degree and found a job. My wife and kid were able to come along, but my wife didn't have her degree yet, so she wasn't allowed to work more than a certain number of hours.

Best of luck with your studies!

Very true, and very much by design that leaving the US is difficult and costly, prohibitively for most people.

In my 20s, I moved to Japan (on credit), and the experience of immediately getting free healthcare (even dental) really stuck with me.

What are we doing here, people?

Right? If you're saying anything that implies you're not a complete piece of shit, then you must be "virtue signaling." The bar is super low, honestly. It's not a brag to say you're better than a rapist.

🀯 What are you doing, @paramountpictures.bsky.social? Drop this serial rapist trash immediately! There is no gray area here. This is plainly and obviously an abuser by his own admission.

I thought you couldn't sink any lower after Nathan Fielder called you out as nazis, but you proved me wrong.

I hope you're right, but I used to think Musk was bound to sell Twitter after his disastrous start with it. It just keeps getting propped up though, long after he destroyed the brand (literally renaming it even because he never gave a shit about it).

Don't get me wrong... I love the show, and I love the characters, but wow, every season they find new ways to be terrible people. Not in an actively malevolent way but mostly through weakness. They're not quite as bad as the Always Sunny gang, but it hits harder because they're more realistic.

It blows my mind the specific moments people choose to "draw the line." I guess things slide in the wrong direction bit by bit until they finally realize they're on the wrong path and everyone else is like...

It's been on HBO Max until really recently, when it moved to Netflix. Sometimes shows get a second life when they switch services, like Detroiters (which is also awesome).

Search Party on Netflix is such a good show! 🀯

I just finished season 4, and it was the best one yet. I love how each season has a distinct, complete story to it, even to the point of the different seasons feeling like different genres. So excited to watch the final season (probably tomorrow)!

An excellent roast of then-VP George Bush by Ann Richards, the last Democratic governor of Texas.

Come on, folks, let's make Texas a blue state again! 🌊
