There's no logical reason to delay it 2 months, though, & only benefits. For that population of children, it's a big deal. It also concedes ground to anti-science sentiment that shouldn't be coddled, because it only reinforces their BS & emboldens them to demand more.

but this is BS reasoning.

Due process applies to everyone or it's not a sincerely held value. & this is in no way a proportionate response. These people weren't aiming weapons at our military or US civilians or anything. Idgaf if they're bad. They could be arrested when they get here & tried.

If drugs are actually like bombs or terrorism, then what does that make people like the Sacklers & Purdue Pharma? If killing many people does, then what does that make CEOs of insurance cos like UHC who also indirectly kill millions via denial/delays to care? I wouldn't agree w/bombing them, either,

So, what I'm hearing is that they want a lot of people to come down with preventable cases of liver cancer in the future & lots of chronic infection in children, which won't create any extra strain on the healthcare system in addition to causing suffering & death. 😡

Now I want to learn the guitar part to Cherry Blossom Girl.

Love the sound of that Mustang bass on Dirty Trip! Air's basslines are fantastic--La Femme d'argent on Moon Safari is what drew me in to listening to them initially.

Seriously. Most rental applications now demand that you make 3x rent. Many insist that all people residing in a place *each, individually* make 3× rent, when rents are at a premium within a range of commute to jobs. It wasn't like this everywhere 10-15 years ago. It's scary.

Hegseth, Miller, tfg, etc aren't doing these kinds of things because they care about problems. People who want to solve problems acknowledge complex causes & address those, even if solutions aren't flashy or take time. This is about reinforcing their identity politics & fragile egos via violence.

It doesn't even make any sort of strategic sense. These guys weren't drug kingpins. They're basically disposable to their bosses, so it changes nothing. It's just senseless, horrific violence aimed at a symptom of a complex web of problems.

Fucking fascists straight up murdering people for non-capital crimes with no due process is disgusting, unconscionable, unconstitutional, & unforgivable. I dgaf if they're bad guys. Drug runners aren't committing capital crimes.

One of the descendants of a horrible British fascist is involved with Palantir, too. Fitting, considering Thiel & Karp's fascist beliefs.

She is! Moira Rose is so hilariously weird! Absolutely perfect casting, & they let O'Hara run with the part!

Yeah, I think I may need to do a rewatch soon, too. It's definitely 1 of my comfort shows! Stuff like "Fold the cheese!" lives in my brain, & I love David's arc so much!

Yeah, befriending crows could go poorly &, if it does, they will never forget & teach successive generations to hate you!😆😬
