I truly don’t get why these dumbshit old guys are so obsessed with Trump. He’s not gonna fuck you, guys. You can stop with this nonsense already.

Right?! Like, how is nobody involved in this asking themselves why they’re so up in arms about children wearing tights?  They could really use a re-entry into reality.

I just reserved a Disney trip for later this summer and I’m SO. DAMN. EXCITED. I’m fully vaccinated and plan to wear a mask everywhere, and fully prepared to cancel or delay if needed. I just desperately need to get the fuck out of my apartment.

TTSS was great - it’s worth a watch if it happens to pop up on another streaming service. The book was a great read as well.

I wasn’t either, but I do see other people do it all the time and it drives me INSANE.

Thank you very much for that.  Best of luck to you as well.

I just meant “academics” as in academic research (university labs) being able to be a lot more fast and loose with trial/experiment parameters than clinical research that has people as the subjects. Just like changing an animal experiment halfway through may fuck up your data and change the outcome, doing the same…

Bright Sun Films is great. Dan Bell’s channel (his “Dead Mall Series”) also does a great job of capturing that eerie sort of nostalgia present in failing malls.

I feel the same about my job.  I work in research, but my actual job is so far removed from the real, exciting work of discovery that I feel useless. If anything, this year has taught me that I need to do a bit of a re-set - either find something in the field that helps me get back the spark of interest that I had…

I don’t understand how every day there’s a new moron emerging from the woodwork. Surely there can’t be that many of them?

My thought as well. I think Din is a great character, but I’ve had enough of politics in real life - I’m not interested in fictional space politics either.

Knife? Space Flowbee? Who knows.

For what it’s worth, I’m pretty sure that’s as scruffy as Pedro’s face gets - he’s said in interviews before that he just can’t try to grow a beard without it looking patchy. I think Din making the effort to be clean-shaven isn’t realistic (when would he have the time to shave everyday?)

This was my reaction as well.  I love me some Clooney, but I think I’ll hold off on the heavy emotional stuff for a while until everything isn’t awful.

Normally I’m of the opinion “it’s her life, let her spend her money how she wants”, but Cardi. Girl, read the damn room. The fact that she didn’t think about how that tweet was going to go over when so many people are out of work and in danger of being evicted makes me think she’s not that smart.

Good.  No sane person should pay full price for his fugly clown-ass makeup.

Actually, 30 states require electors to vote their state’s popular vote winner.  In the other 20, the Supreme Court upheld sanctions against faithless electors. So there’s a possibility of electoral college fuckery but it doesn’t look very likely.

That bitch is broke. And counting on his dumbfuck supporters to bail him out.

I think you’re right.  He doesn’t give a flying fuck about actually being President - he wants attention, a captive audience, and to hide from his creditors.  That’s it.  Acting like this is him playing 4-D chess gives him too much credit.
