Like the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund?

A Lovecraftian horde all fingers and teeth.

In 2015, Fox held out against the Trump candidacy for a surprisingly long time. They were essentially forced to come to his side after losing a ton of viewers to more RW news sources.

And breast cancer. The one good thing to come out of COVID was the blank check to all the medical research. I thought at the time that we would see a flood of new treatments in ~5 years as a result. I have nothing civil to say about RFK at this point.

Robin Hobb's Farseer world books too. Really, after LOTR at age 10 I have mostly avoided war fantasy, and never been short of excellent options.

No that makes sense. Trump needed a VP who would never, NEVER compete with him for media attention. Mike Pence (STG I just had to go Google his name) was the same way.

Vance is the human equivalent of Vogon poetry

I chortled.

There is a subreddit r/DeathByMillenial collecting all the things we have supposedly "killed" (paper napkins, second families, birth rates) and we need another one just for the things Vance (who is, somehow, only 41) has killed. Dude has the reverse Midas touch fr.

I think it's less "offered to" and more "applied to". Men seem te be choosing to not work at all rather than take a job they consider beneath them.

Or it's an issue that everyone else has been dealing with for years, that the man is "discovering" the way Columbus discovered America.

I keep thinking about the "to the pain" speech from Princess Bride for no reason whatsoever

More afraid of a little girl using they/them pronouns than getting abused by a pedophile. Republican voters have a broken threat detector.

For my family (who got together with friends to literally buy a trailer for a homeless person). When they meet a member of the outgoup IRL, they like them and see their humanity. But they instantly classify as "one of the good ones", leaving the bigotry towards the outgroup untouched.

B) I had a major depressive episode that made me understand reconsider free will and our capacity to "do the right thing" (by RW definition) C) The evangelical reaction to the anti-gay marriage laws in 2005 exposed an institutional heart of joyous cruelty and set me on the path to deconstruction.

Sorry for butting into the conversation- I graduated HS in 2000 and had a similar path. What broke me out were A) seeing GWB trash the budget. If we are going to do that, why can't we spend it on nice things like paid sick leave, etc?

Paying people to watch a real news network does break the bubble BUT! Once the money stops, they go back to Fox. IDK what to do with that information. www.theguardian.com/media/2022/a...

What happens when a group of Fox News viewers watch CNN for a month?A study that paid viewers of the rightwing cable network to switch shed light on the media’s influence on people’s viewswww.theguardian.com

Captain Pike repeatedly hiding information from Starfleet bothers me so much! Even if he *is* doing it to protect his crew.

You really do! He was such a good observer of human nature. Hidden behind 8,000 jokes. Some of which you will only get six months after reading and say 🤯🤦‍♀️
