so, like the rest of the internet, Tik Tok was better before the concept of “influencers” came along.

i don’t think Margo got out instantly before the bombing... the final scene is from 10 years later, right? perhaps the bombing was a fortuitous way for her to disappear — she survives and the KGB gets her out of the country, and everyone thinks she died in the blast.

my path to turning into an IRL wizard is becoming clearer and clearer.

THANK YOU. (seriously)

/s is “cringey”? it’s a perfect solution for text-based communication. if it’s too much, how about /sarc ?

Harold Weir FTW. omg, can’t get enough of him.

fwiw, Ron Moore said on this week’s podcast that they didn’t want to make Dev a caricature of Bezos or Musk, so i’m thinking they have better things planned for him than just being an obvious evil, narcissistic billionaire. i do like that he comes from Nairobi (i think?) and that he came from nothing — that gives him…

it baffles me that beans and rice are not on the list. it’s the most basic healthy standalone meal there is.
