I think it holds up to a rewatch - at least the first few seasons - especially since a lot of of it seems so innocent now. The government is hiding the existence of aliens from us? how quaint and unthreatening

This is what organized religion should always do, is hold the powerful to account. Really glad to see the pope doing this.

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.

The writer in this case clearly thinks “out of whole cloth”means “out of nothing”, which is debatable on its face, but “out of whole cloth” actually means: ALL of it is a LIE

Please nobody tell professional writer praising professional journalists Caitlin Flanagan what "out of whole cloth" means

Screenshot of text:

Not now but soon enough, there will be major stories about The Free Press being the creation of three female founders who constructed a hugely successful digital business out of whole cloth.

They always do this. They deconstruct the actions of a crime down to a point of absurdity, and then claim that clearly no one did anything wrong

Let me be super fucking clear

You cannot support sex worker rights if you don't also support trans people, non white people, immigrants, drug users, disabled people, women, queer/gay people, and poor people and human rights in general
