Aww!

The first 2-3 seasons are great. And that's because it's excellent characters in an unusual situation with just a splash of mystery/paranormal. The end of the show sucks, because they wrote it like they knew where it was leading, but they didn't. The big reveals are very unsatisfying. Would have been better if they just ended it with no answers and let it develop organically instead of shoe-horning a "this is what it was all leading to" ending into it.

That one really is a banger. But watching that video again, I can't get over how terrible the vocals would actually sound if she was up on the mic like that.

God damn it, I shouldn't laugh but...

I read the article and watched the NBC interview with the kid and I couldn't get any sense of his ideological leanings. He seems to be legitimately a politics geek and aspiring journalist. I can't confidently categorize him as a "young GOP idealist."

But to your second point, I always have a hard time understanding how anyone who isn't an old white guy could get behind the GOP.

"The usual? Cake and pop?" "No, April, the unusual." "Fish and pop?" "No." "Cake and fish?" "No fish!"

Oh that Count of Monte Cristo is so fun. I wouldn't have thought of it just now, but I do find myself moved to rewatch it every so often.

Man if a movie was ever prescient...

Yes. Or even composition of words. I remember during a class discussion translating "Thanksgiving" as "Danksgebung" on the fly. At least I greatly entertained my professor—and I'll never forget "Erntedankfest".

What backup utility did you use?

Concurring with my argument by citing one of my favorite authors. 😊

Did we just become Lemmy-friends?

I write in cursive about half the time, because it's satisfying. But I always switch to print for acronyms and initialisms, because I think multiple consecutive uppercase cursive letters looks dumb.
