Hello

How the hell did he manage THAT?

He was friendly with his female coworker. They talked a lot. Ate lunch a lot. Even played games online together in their free time. She would even be the one to initiate conversation on a regular basis.

Then she accused him of sexual harassment out of nowhere. It turned into a whole thing.

Guess who walks on eggshells now?

You not liking their state laws really means nothing.

California resisting our authoritarian in chiefs efforts to slander them with political prosecution says nothing about the actual facts.

And after Trump literally conspired to try to steal an election and every MAGAt handwaved it, you really don't have a leg to stand on.

Elend what the fuck!? Why wouldn’t Vin love you!? You’re fucking batshit you watched her explode a man’s head and was like “how could I ever satisfy this goddess” like that’s a normal ass thing to find HOT. IN YOUR PARTNER.

Then, in 2020, the Democrats started being shady as hell by:

Blocking windows to stop people from watching the count

Wouldnt let representatives of the GOP observe the count even though they're supposed to

Continued to not let GOP reps observe the count even when ordered to by a judge

Celebrated when Biden, in the middle of the night, gained tens of thousands of votes instantly while Trump gained zero at that same time (a statistical impossibility without some sort of manipulation)

And that's just off the top of my head

It was THEN that Republicans, and honestly just a lot of people in general, started questioning what was happening

I've also read books that are first-person present-tense, which comes off as the character sort of narrating to himself as the book unfolds.

I just want to point out that I avoid being a jerk to AIs just because it's my default habit - this blog notwithstanding.

Co-worker once asked my department "do you guys think of ChatGPT as 'he' or as 'she'?"

Joe Russo:

The disregard that leaks through parts of the MCU, two of the new Star Trek movies, and the new Star Wars trilogy really is baffling to me. So many people love these franchises and would have lovingly poured their heart and soul into them. And filmmakers who just didn’t care were handed these films?? Imagine what we could have gotten if actual fans had been allowed to make these movies. 

Oh wait, I don’t have to imagine. People who love these franchises and these characters put their tiny amounts of free time and overwhelming effort into producing fanfiction and fanart for these characters every day. I could go on AO3 right now and in half a dozen clicks get sweeping, beautiful, poetic treatises on the human condition written through these ‘Verses. Vast arrays of adventures starring these characters, and the characters themselves would be lovingly adored by their writers. I could enjoy content made by people who care. 

Doo doo doo-doo dooooo

Ah. One of the sponsors has already walked away from it because he acknowledged it was a bad bill, the guy who wrote has already been primaried, and even MSN acknowledges it is likely just a political stunt.

I can't find the actual poll anywhere so I am trying very hard to take this with a grain of salt but YouGov usually does good work and NewsGuard who commissioned the poll noted on their site that they were so surprised by these results that they asked YouGov to check again and yeah sure enough.

This is really disturbing.
