Up for it means you’re enthusiastic about making an effort. Down for it means you are fully committed to a course of action. It’s a slight nuance, but there is poetry in precision.

pilk!

Solo explained the Kessel Run in 12 parsecs, and Skeleton Crew has confirmed the Christmas Special is canon. Life day was also referenced in the new Sequels, but Skeleton Crew used recreated footage of the circus holovid.

They show it in Solo, and it’s pretty much that.

What’s wild is how quickly a motivated fascist has been able to dismantle the government…

Musk massively overpayed for Twitter. They wouldn’t have sold the company, but Musk made a ridiculous offer and they accepted. Then he tried to back out of it, and the court forced him to follow through. But he didn’t have enough money to match his offer, so he had to find some investors willing to bail him out because they wanted him to kill the platform for them.

When you ask them out, they say no.

Yes, officer, this one right here.

It’s all part of the firehose. While we were looking at maps, Trump installed more cronies in positions of power, pulled funding from political opponents, fired prosecutors who wouldn’t drop charges against allies, attacked science, healthcare, education, national security, unions, safety regulations, and taxes.

Right. There is a “too late” to prevent any catastrophic climate change, and we’re well beyond that. But there is no “too late” to making it less bad than it will be assuming we don’t do something.

The plane is going down. We still have some control, and we can aim for a softer landing, but everyone needs to assume the crash position and stop pretending we didn’t cause a crash.

They’re both built on the reputation of their leaders. Good coaches recruit good players, making them look like better coaches. Good preachers gather more followers which makes their bullshit more believable.

The great irony is that in both environments, the ego of the leader is almost certainly over-inflated, and the institution would be just hunky dory without them. Penn State found a new coaching staff. The Catholic Church will elect a new Pope.

The people doing the cover-up will justify the lies by telling themselves they are doing it for the greater good, but really they just want to protect themselves.

Is this a new low? Feels like the shallow end of Trump’s shit takes.

I agree with you completely. Genital mutilation is usually done to infants or children too young to even comprehend what gender is, and it’s most often an aeethetic choice.

Both are trying to stab the other. The one that gets stabbed gets pregnant.

Which is the winner and the loser depends on personal preference.

People are stupid and selfish. That’s human nature.

Millions of Americans are wrong. What’s your plan for that? Violence? Reeducation camps for shitbags? Conservatives are everywhere, and they’re all salivating to take advantage of the chaos created by the fall of Rome. If you think getting our collective dick stepped on is going to result in a better tomorrow, you need to pick up a history book.

Genital mutilation is a practice that should be stopped everywhere.

Transgender children do not get gender-affirming surgery. 97% of gender affirming surgery is breast reduction performed on male children, and that’s extremely rare as it is.

So no, he’s not at all right about any of this.

Don’t waste mental energy looking for reason or competence. They did it because nobody can stop them, and they think they can gain money or power by doing it. That’s always the motivation, and it doesn’t make a difference to the response. We simply need to stop them.
