Eh. I think she became one of the funniest characters in an increasingly cartoonish world. I think her change in characterization was excellent. She wasn’t just the stubborn object of Jeff’s desire, she became a hilarious character reflecting the insanity around her. She went from not much to do besides deflect Jeff’s advances to having the funniest moments and lines in the show.
This narrative needs to die. Harris retained more male Biden voters than female Biden voters. The DNC forced a candidate through again—a candidate, mind you, that couldn’t even get traction in the last primary—without letting us choose them, they bungled the entire Biden situation by hiding his declining faculties, and when they choose their candidate for us to swallow? They add a heaping dose of the fucking cheneys as if that’s going to help their cause. They once again keep shifting to the right instead of listening to the massive calls for more progressive policies, and then when they fucked it up so royally they couldn’t beat the most unpopular president in history who was outright saying he was going to be a dictator, they go on the news and say it’s because they were “too progressive.” Not to mention the massively undercounted and overlooked Palestine issue that turned off so many voters. And then they have the gall to say it was because of misogyny. Gtfoh
I love those descriptions. It conveys such a feeling in me. Like one of those really nice days where the windows are open and you’ve had a nice day but still have energy to treat yourself and enjoy the evening. I’m a fan.
If you don’t mind my asking, how do you not have a moral objection to using AI? With everything we know about it, the theft, the benefit to the technocrats, the environmental toll, I could not bring myself to wave away those issues. Not to mention the power imbalance of this tech being controlled by the ruling class, looking to eliminate people’s livelihoods for the sake of profit. What do you use it for? I feel like we should be boycotting them en masse.
Not to mention, the political rhetoric for at least 10 years has been very much “things are falling apart!” I mean, fear has been the greatest motivator for voters for a long time. It’s a weapon used against you to keep you obedient and scared.
Now, does that mean things aren’t going wrong? Of course not. But that feeling is very much fostered by the people with money because it’s useful to them. Add to that, the growing number of non-money people sounding the alarm over things like climate change and late stage capitalism.
But if it helps, think of it this way: the money people don’t actually want things turned upside down. Because that disrupts their money. And the timeline for events like climate change are longer than “any day now.” So, something to think about.
He’s an egotist and a man child, while also being the richest man in the world. All he has to do is say he wants something and people have to do it. He doesn’t have to “do” anything to be fully influencing what happens. Look at Twitter, look at the federal government. Sycophants surround these assholes and basically have to bend the knee and do what they say. When capital equals power, this is what happens. Just like when blood line meant power, the kings didn’t “do” anything. But the people who took their orders from them did.
But saying an existing country has no right to exist, while discussing the very real problems of said country, while said country does, in fact, exist, is treading on incredibly dangerous, straight up genocidal ground.
How can you guys not see the problems inherent in that, while half of the people are arguing against the existence of fucking nuance? You all can’t be that dense.
