After decades of dreaming, planning, scheming and neurosis... I finally did it. It happened, and I am the one that made it happen, and it was everything I dreamed.

MY DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS GAME JUST HAD A MUSICAL EPISODE AND IT WAS GLORIOUS.

By a longshot, the most common mistake people who are into politics make - from seven-figure strategists to randos offering Takes online - is overestimating how much attention normal people pay to politics, how much they know, and how deeply they think about it.

*Vastly* overestimating.

It's certainly what we would consider now a conservative message (welcome to 80s film!) of "The old ways are best, before all these fancy lazy things" but also "hating modern america is strange and dangerous".

But they flat out MURDER Deagle, the person in town who doesn't work for their lifestyle.

Interesting perspective, doesn't land with me though. Neglects two key angles:
* Gizmo as a character. (If the Mogwai represent foreign invasion, is Gizmo some sort of spy who came in from the cold?) He binds them into the story as a moral tale.
* The Gremlins as a representation of labour.

a screenshot of the People Can Fly layoff post, found here: https://x.com/PCFPeopleCanFly/status/1866531267464007759

120+ layoffs at people can fly and they refer to them as "Aviators"

can we just make a law that you don't use your fun quirky name for your employees when removing their livelihoods

Just came back from a fantastic date and they took it from the restaurant's desk. Unconsciously trying to keep the moments alive without admitting the effect it had on them.

It's one of those ones with the green crinkly plastic wrapping on the end.
