I’d always said I would vote for a ham sandwich over this guy, and that’s literally the correct answer! A ham sandwich would be better for manufacturing and not starting wars than what we have now

I hear you, but it’s not just the fine and nothing else. It’s a fine plus a deadline before further action is taken

With a normal group of people they wouldn’t have been coming in too hot though. Any other group would have recognised the enormous list of evidence against him! But all Sam had to do was open his mouth & say “but what if it’s that person instead of me?” & everybody would go “you’re right! BANISHED!”

That is also true. I just don’t understand why everybody seemed either so afraid of Sam or else so sure it couldn’t be him. Like he wasn’t that special

I kept saying to my husband did Sam have sex with every single one of them off screen or something? Have they been loved bombed?

Like, every single desion everyone made in every episode was the stupidest one. Over & over & over. It. Is. WILD.

…what a group of incomprehensible people they gathered together for that season. (Annabelle and Luke = exception but everyone just let them hang. Literally crazy sauce)

Oh yes it was! Awful! So dumb! But exactly what everyone deserved.

It was a combination of one arrogant guy, with a few spineless people, and quite a few of the most gullible dingdongs I’ve ever seen

It’s the worst. I couldn’t stand any single one of them. Every single person made every single wrong decision in every single episode. Like it’s unfathomable how bad everyone was

Thank you. It feels crazy to the extent which I believe this.

I’m so glad it ended the way it did and I don’t want to spoil for anyone but that was the only just ending

I'm sorry, this is…wild. I have literally never seen a man sweat through his suit jacket. How is the antiperspirant not an SNL creation?

I’m starting to believe in the ancient gods again - bc them straight up trolling us with this world is the only explanation

Agree, girl, agree. The drive for attendance stats totally devoid of the human elements which drive & affect them is a real hot button of mine.

We’ve had some struggles with School resistance & the admin approach that it’s behavioural issue is enraging (both in its ignorance & worsening effect)

In fact, I don’t even really understand morning showers. I mean sure, they wake you up, but you actually have to wake up earlier to have time to fit one in!

100% lifelong pre-bed shower person here, and I have converted my husband too. Who wants to get in bed after a long day of getting gross, and get your bed gross too? Never mind how relaxing it is.

I think it was @angrystaffer.bsky.social who gave the excellent metaphor that we have to launch two Lamborghinis to stop each piece of trash at Iran launches at us. Obvi, we’re gonna run out of Lamborghinis well before they run out of trash.

AI very much feels like the burning of the Library of Alexandria to me and this is the most overt example as to why.

I mean this is how I feel about Star Trek and sci-fi generally (not in a bad way).

The most sci-fi thing about sci-fi is that the technology works and if it doesn’t, people know how to fix it, and do!

Reaching net zero by 2050 ‘cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits

"Achieving the UK’s net zero target by 2050 will cost less than a single oil shock and bring health and economic benefits while insulating the country against future costs, the government’s climate advisers have forecast."

why would you spend any time arguing about the exigencies of a hypothetical gavin newsom presidential campaign when you could simply sit motionless, staring into a glass of water? or open an excel spreadsheet and just hold down the ‘A’ key so one of the cells just goes ‘AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA…’ forever.
