Look there are two kinds of people with breaking bad.

Those who loved it, and those who haven't watched much or any of it.

My ex got me into it, and she's kind of.... Well, shes not brilliant. So I didn't take her recommendations too seriously most of the time (I really don't enjoy Teen Mom or 90 day fiance or 600lb life). But this? This show hooked me. It takes quite a few liberties with the sciency bits and lawyer bits, but it's fun even with a bit of knowledge cause it starts with something being "technically correct." It's well written more than anything.

Wegovy/Saxenda whatever others are (GLP-1) inhibitors aren't a scam, they work.

They are absurdly expensive for the benefit they bring. Of course, fat lot of good it does if you don't use it to the full extent so you can actually get off of it.

Stopped asking those pesky questions now didn't it?

TIL Apex had writing behind it

Wait hold on, they wanted us to think it wasn't staged?

The dude was sent to a concentration camp and then sitting at a table in a decent looking area? And they had fake hand gestures exactly like North Korean photo ops and they expected us to think it WASN'T STAGED?

If the MAGATs ate it up, then I realize just how hard they reject the reality over their Truth.

Some how, people don't know this - the courts CAN enforce the law.

They don't even need executive law enforcement to do it. That is the worst most depressing part about all of this. Hell, the supreme court has its own marshalls completely independent of the US Marshalls.

The courts can deputize their own Marshalls as they need. They have this power on purpose. Neglecting to use that power means they are complicit. And that is far scarier to me.

This isn't just a yemeni shopkeeper keeping calm. That's probably his son.

He's scared shitless. But he also knows that if one of those bombs hits his shop, they're dead. So he's being a parent instead.

In the face of crisis, the first thing a parent can do is either panic, making the entire experience worse for the kid, or stay calm and collected, demonstrating that "this too, shall pass."

Man I completely forgot about the Court's ability to deputize.

Something tells me that it was intended that I forget that.

What a horrible time to have eyes

Look here Europe. I don't know how well y'all understand the states, but it's unfathomably large. People in the big cities can definitely organize and revolt. But, against who?

The power is concentrated in Washington DC. It's in an extremely inconvenient location to get to, and I'm starting to understand why.

The last person who was able to amass a large enough following to organize people and march all the damn way to Washington DC was assassinated by the FBI - more specifically J. Edgar Hoover, one of the OG Incel MAGATs. The last president that was able to advocate for the same rights was assassinated by the same group.

Malcom X could see that the only way the US government would change was through speaking the language it knew, but he, too, was taken out by the FBI.

The billionaires in power speak the same language. They wear children as meat shields. They spark violent rhetoric. They won't hesitate to take out a figurehead before he becomes too powerful like King, JFK, and Malcom X.

"But he's not a Nazi."

No, this is literally what the Nazis would do. Now Trump's paramilitary can take care of the rest. Exactly like the Nazis would.

There is no safety in a totalitarian regime.

"Blatantly unconstitutional"

Look at this judge pretending the law still means anything to the guy in office.
