I am really enjoying this "fighting facism with absurdity" angle It may not fix or stop what the government is doing. But, it does keep them from using the "violence in the streets rhetoric" without hypocrisy. It also makes them look ridiculous when they fire pepperballs at them or put them in cuffs

So many of my fellow White Middle Aged Men posting about Diane Keaton with photos and quotes from The Godfather Trilogy are telling on themselves because that's the only role they've seen her in
She's had better roles, many of them scribed by people who could write women with more than 2 dimensions
Theo thinks he’s the main character, but we’re still waiting on the plot. 🎭
Our new Challenge podcast episode’s out, and we have thoughts.
