It speaks to the present moment so well that I had flashbacks watching it. There are monologues on this show that I'll play on repeat and memorize like they were poems.

I’ve read @slacktivistfred.bsky.social describe the “read parts over and over” bit as clobber-verse theology.
Divorces a bit from its context in order to support a political agenda, then use it like a club to hammer that agenda into place.

The "I have a parental right to know" crowd are basically saying, "You MUST tell me so I can abuse my kid EVEN HARDER."
They're all little petty tyrants ruling over their petty kingdoms with iron fists.

Also the fact that the First Order was clearly tracking them through hyperspace, which SHOULD be impossible, makes the possibility that they have a spy on board leaking their location EXTREMELY likely.
Extra op-sec procedures make logical sense in that case.

And it’s not even like the Holdo maneuver is all that hard to justify in the established fiction of the franchise!

... I find it disturbing that when you made that analogy, I immediately pictured someone specific.

Empathy is as much a social contract as it is emotive reflection. You can't empathize with someone who refuses to empathize with others and expect to get anywhere.

Worst pizza I ever had was in the LA Convention Center back in 2004. It was like cheese melted on cardboard.

It is detrimental to overall economic growth, that's very true. However, an oligarch would rather reign in hell than accept having less power in heaven. If securing their own power within a polity means throttling it's economy, then so be it.

People are very bad, I think, at determining the difference between things the Right is legitimately mad at and situations in which they are absolutely bullshitting because they think they found a winning argument.

I don't think the parties are the same but I do think that "I'm for psychotic anti-immigration laws because I'm a violent racist" and "I'm for psychotic anti-immigration laws because a poll told me to be" is a distinction without a difference

I once told Representative Adam Smith to "F*cking destroy ICE already," at a town hall event during the last administration.
He reprimanded me for the strength of my language and didn't actually address the substance of it.

So, it all started when a young audio director ad-libbed some gibberish over an early CGI animation in the mid nineties…

I'd tell Junie that she did a good job enduring that, but I get the feeling she wouldn't appreciate the sentiment of it right now.

The rationalization Schumer gave was that in the event of a government shutdown, the president gets to pick which bits are “essential” for funding and which aren’t, and he didn’t want to give Trump that power.
Of course, that ignores that Trump is doing that even without a government shutdown…
