Once you see it it becomes impossible not to notice the media consent-manufacutring machine that responds to literally every social crisis with the diagnosis that "women too free."
My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

Given the collapse of all Republican health care plans last night the ONLY option Speaker Johnson has to end the year without blowing up our healthcare system is to bring a clean vote to the floor on ACA extensions. It would likely pass. Everything else is deadly theater.

A discharge petition to force a House floor vote to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has majority support in the House of Representatives. That means Speaker Johnson must allow a vote to protect Americans’ health care. Congress should not leave for the holidays without voting on this.

i'm glad i rewatched this because i have a much better handle on why i was so obsessed with it as a teenager. besides the fact that it is very funny and a great send-up of heavy metal bands, it has the loose feel of a hang out. putting the movie on feels a bit like chilling with the bros.
