Wow almost 50 likes on this and yet NONE of you offered to help with either goal

Meanwhile, the rest of the elite circles that are not so liberal suddenly found permission to be more open about their conservatives preferences and take advantage of the MAGA admin (plus a healthy dose of cowardly appeasing the mad king) w/o the social repercussions from their liberal counterparts

I think a lot of the new permissiveness of Trump's second term is because a swath of the elite circles that are generally liberal and cling to American democracy as an ideal saw Trump get elected again despite it all and decided it was a referendum by voters and they had some duty to adapt

He's more tangential to the shows, but he's been on a few and did a ton of writing and drawing for them, I think?

Caldwell, Paul, Ryan Creamer, Josh Ruben, Sam, Ross, and probably Grant just because I think we'd vibe and it would just happen

Caldwell erasure

If there's one thing I'm gonna do it's absolutely SLAY the bass part of Take A Chance On Me

For all its faults and cringe in hindsight, Hamilton is actually a very good musical

Ok fair enough! I was just thinking about mine and realized that Perth is technically longitudinally closer to DC going west than east and wasn't sure how to determine it

Ok just to put on my pedantic geographer hat for a moment, how are you determining distance? Lat/Long from equator/meridian? From your home?

Exactly! It needed like, a more developed backstory/explanation for Celine, which could have filled in a lot of what felt missing about Gwi-Ma as well as Rumi. Juni needed a bit more too

Only when I'm gooning

It felt like it needed to be longer? Like it has all the pieces it needed it just wasn't as fleshed out as it should've been

I watched the cartoon kpop demon movie and it was cute and the songs are very catchy but I do feel like you all over hyped it a bit

Drop the audio, king

Pat, I'd like to solve the puzzle

Knifed doesn't!

I would like a nice boyfriend and also to get ****** repeatedly

Ok caught up on Gilded Age and HOT DAMN what an episode

Freedom to cause offense without being jailed or sued is a thing.

Freedom to cause offense without being criticized, shunned, and despised is not. The very concept is incoherent.

I feel like every single day I need to post a reminder: if you ask an LLM about itself it DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ITS INNER WORKINGS and WILL NOT TELL YOU ANYTHING ACTUALLY ABOUT ITSELF. It just (as it always does) will make up some plausible sounding answer.

I enjoy visiting my parents but I will say the combination of inconsistent cell service AND wifi is pretty devastating sometimes

Meanwhile, history about non-white, non-men figures and movements is, to them, actually "revisionist," because it recognizes the contributions of others. That's not the truth, to them, because they learned that it was usually white men driving American history, and American history = good, always

Most, when pressed, will defend monuments honoring confederates and slaveholders as merely factual and informational. It would be wrong to "erase" that "history," right? This of course ignores that the monuments glorify these people, and crowd out other history.

Republicans care about "protecting/restoring American History" only insofar as they were taught, and believe, that American History is 1) driven and dominated by white men (to the exclusion of most others) and 2) fundamentally positive

Ok I realize now that "no-bake" is more of a broader category, technically, than I was considering (which is more the weird gummy balls of whatever that actually gets referred to as "no-bakes")

As a general rule I don't trust no-bake desserts

Like this shit primarily serves to enrich companies at the expense of (mostly) young men and it's toxic as fuck

Home with the folks and watching the Red Sox and the extent to which sports betting is now just integrated into the game and broadcast is extremely gross
