“Try That In A Small Town, But Not Mine Because Old Betsy At The End Of The Cul De Sac Gets Upset If I Share The Gate Code With Anyone, And If Betsy Gets Mad, I Don’t Get Invited To The Social At The Subdivision Rec Center”

It is truly a bizarre set of events that has occurred that makes Mark Zuckerberg the more likable of two alternatives.  He’s weird and off-putting, sure, but he’s not “the world’s most divorced man”, “the world’s tenderest billionaire”, or “someone who spends all day chasing clout from the alt-right teens.”

Webcams have no sensible reason to exist outside of adult content and nothing of value is added to an online meeting by being able to see everyone’s mugs. Change my mind.

You’re right, it felt like 8 hours of sepia tone.

This feels very 20,000 Leagues Beneath the Fyre Festival

Man... if there’s a modern post apocalyptic story that isn’t pulling heavily from The Road I can’t imagine one. From The Walking Dead to The Last of Us, so many writers owe so much ti McCarthy. 

There’s actually a solid (and very dumb) basis for why this ridiculous idea was considered.

I was just about to say this. ATN doesn’t actually control the election count, and they calling it early by mistake, before it’s revealed that Jimenez actually won, can set up the end of Waystar Royco and the end of the kids controlling the company. The share prices plummet and Mattson buys the whole thing for much…

Trailer parks all across the country are about to find child support payments missing. 

I obviously don’t know the history as you do, but shows that continually highlight royalty, the upper classes, the privileged became tiresome to me long ago and I feel that the narratives continue to romanticize power and exploitation. As far as the debate pesented here, it suggests that there’s some colorism going on…

I think there’s something in here, if I can articulate it, about Shiv constantly being underestimated by her brothers and others at Waystar, but that not mattering because Mattson doesn’t rate any of them. Being the least important Roy doesn’t put her at a disadvantage with him because he sees them as all equally…

Alexander Skarsgård is one of the top 3 working actors right now, dude is an absolute beast.

There are still various sub-communities (other than dudes who want to be and/or fuck Elon Musk) that get value out of Twitter. When Black Twitter goes, for instance, we’ll know the site is about done.

Just because Big Man Moneybags buys the community center everyone loves and wants to turn it into condos doesn’t mean you let him. Sometimes you need to have a catchy chant and a bikini car wash to raise enough money to kick his butt back to the big city and leave us alone.

“I have an interest in the media’s ability to transform villains into heroes via selective reporting.”

Just when you though My Father the Hero couldn’t possibly aged any worse.

Somewhere in Madison, Wisconsin, a black guy who met this dude once during an HR meeting is about to find himself suddenly elevated to “a good friend.”

He’s Hollywood’s former teen boyfriend entering the post-twink chrysalis.

Reminds me of when my one-woman Savage Garden jukebox musical was overrun by these dudes:

I enjoyed how Charlie Keyser-Sozeyed her way into discovering Gavin actually wrote that song.
