I just want a picture in Oscar the Grouch’s trash can.

Run the Double Dare obstacle course.

Only because there wasn’t a great deal of analysis on the ridiculous shit she wrote. Not sure how likeable someone who writes a defense of slavery into YA fiction could really be.

Even then, it would have been a mistake to go up against David Tennant.  But now it’s just bonkers.

Even her favorite example, cis women who are assaulted by trans women in bathrooms, is a total non problem when compared with trans folk being harrassed and assaulted for daring to use a bathroom in public.

similar shit as Trump with immigrants

That is the thing, its all hypothetical “think of the women” bullshit with the terfs. They find one case where someone , who may or may not actual be trans, does something wrong and then they say “Look, this is all trans people everywhere!!!!”. They also cherry pick data worse then climate change deniers.  

Yes I do often hear of hate crimes against transphobes, where Transwomen beat little old ladies with brickbats while saying “CALL ME A WOMAN!”

Rowling is doing an amazing job getting into arguments with people infinitely more likable than she is.

Discovery and Lower Decks lasted 5 years, pretty good for shows these days.

Last I looked it up, Netflix was supposed to air Season 2 (or is it the back half of Season 1?) later this year.

I’ll be sad to see Lower Decks go, but I think the show has gone so well that the characters are now simply too competent to remain Lower Deckers for any longer. Sort of how Community wore out its premise after two years and four years, and had to continually lampshade the fact that they’re all still there six years…

I don’t think I’d call it “in trouble” when it was just renewed for Season 4 prior to season 3 even airing.

I like the characters and actors in LD, but I don’t enjoy the show itself. I can’t explain why other than it feels soulless, I guess, like the writing is done via a Star Trek reference checklist.

Any word on the second season of Prodigy?  I believe Netflix was gonna show it last I looked.  Both Lower Decks and Prodigy surprised me in how they took very different approaches to Star Trek but still managed to capture the spirit of the universe and show they were very much canon entries 

Cool. I actually miswrote what I meant. I meant to see a Monopoly game adaptation that was anti-capitalist.

Stop getting Monopoly wrong!

I have a female friend who, when it became clear that some guy really wanted her to know that he went to an Ivy, would ask which school he was talking about and then pretend she’d never heard of it. Maybe one in twenty would take it in stride, three or four would catch on that she was fucking with them, and 75-80%…

Given her run of movies in the past few years as a producer and/or actor, I’m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.

“But if anyone tries to remake the farting corpse movie without me, I’ll kill them with my teeth!”
