Ma’am, you mean Michelle who has a master’s in foreign policy Kwan right? Or Michelle state department advisor Kwan?, or how out Michelle who has served under 2 presidents Kwan? Because even one freaking click to her insta would have informed you that she's qualified. She's spent the last 15 years devoted to politics. 

That’s the character.  The actor does a FANTASTIC job of being Marcos.  The character constantly is going between I am the man when something is good to blaming everyone else when it goes wrong.  

Yeah. That thing extends fairly rapidly. As far as Christmas gifts go...

(at the time, Gyllenhaal was 10 years her senior).

I like her. Golden hour was the first album I bought of hers, and she has talent. If golden hour was about her instantly being swept up and in love and shit, then Star crossed is the b side. Her divorce came along during the pandemic, she was pissed, wrote about it and other stuff she missed or longed to be, mainly…

It seems to me that a federal case could be made that Rittenhouse violated the victims’ First Amendment rights by killing them at a demonstration, thus denying their civil rights. Don’t know if the feds would be inclined to see it that way, especially when a 18yo is the perp.

Also,

Paul Rudd is sexy AF and I will not hear another word about it. 

I really enjoyed the first two seasons, despite all manner of hits and misses throughout. Looking forward to this.

Fiddling while Rome burns. It’s grotesque. Also, Ted Lasso should not be fucked with this way by these cretins.

 Worst porn movie ever

The Bene Gesserit is Herbert’s stand-in for the Catholic Church. For generations they’ve been quietly manipulating royal bloodlines in order to create the Kwisatz Haderach, Herbert’s stand-in for Jesus - a time bending, omniscient, all powerful super- being that will bring order to the universe….in the manner in…

The bene gesserit are ‘soft power’. They have influence and are playing a loooooong game. They aren’t concerned so much with individual emperors or even Great Houses because those come and go.

Quinn does a great job of explaining it, I’ll link his video below. But to summarize a bit, the Bene Gesserit’s goal is the preservation of the human race. They want to use the power of a Kwizatz Haderach to lead humanity. They have no need to usurp the Emperor as they already effectively control him.

I actually hope Olivia and John made it work, and then add a third named Newton.

This isn’t even closing the barn door after the horse has run away...

When this catchphrase was created the American Way in a lot of this country denied basic rights to Black people. The American Way led to the internment of thousands of Japanese Americans. The American Way led to Vietnam. The American way was the concept of manifest destiny. Today we call it nation building.
