The entirety of Trump's political career has been people scrambling to draw a new line in the sand and saying "Okay, he won't cross THIS one or there will be consequences!"

No cohesive plan and no creative vision doomed the ST to being a mess. It's a shame, because the characters could've been great. RJ gets an undue amount of hate for daring to do something slightly different, but at the end of the day even TLJ is afraid to stray too far from the formula.

I think TFA sets up a very safe & relatively uncreative trilogy. JJ clearly had ideas for the characters, but chose not to follow up. RJ chose to subvert the safe expectations established by TFA (for better & worse imo), & then JJ tried to wrench it all back into safe By The Numbers territory.

You're a less than good person if you're able-bodied & circle the parking lot looking for a close spot or wait 2+min for someone to vacate a spot. You're not only wasting everyone's time & causing that much more pollution, but could've walked in the time spent waiting. Just take an available spot

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

If I ever say something this wild to you, it's because it's my duress phrase, I've been kidnapped and I need your help to rescue me,

which is to say, has anyone checked on Jon Fasman? Does his editor know if he published this from the trunk of a Buick in the pine barrens?

Compared to Dylan and Springsteen, country-music legend Johnny Cash can seem deeply uncool. It took time for me to appreciate his profound, plainspoken strength, writes Jon Fasman.

I think it's safe to assume TP 100% knows Puerto Ricans are Americans, but they're grifting off the racism of their followers & banking on that to keep money flowing into their accounts.

Appealing to racists is the absolute dumbest fucking thing on the planet

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

I've never heard of anyone thinking Pratchett is YA lol. I think the dude is just farming for attention tbh

Kev, Opossum King 🐀 @sonofclark.bsky.social · 14d

There's nothing wrong with YA, but Pratchett writing approachable books for all ages =/= being a YA author

Being able to have mature themes, great satire, & deep philosophies without drenching his work in "adult content" actually makes him rad as hell & a much better author than most could dream.
