Deadlines? What Deadlines?

Nothing worse than an incompetent micromanager.

I'm not going argue to overall point about MAGA, but this assumption right here...this is a dangerous train of thought.  Just because evidence point to MAGA eating itself come the day we all wake up to the news that he's kicked the bucket...work must proceed as though they're going to continue right on trucking the way they've been.  I suspect it could be worse.  Do not make the assumption that MAGA splinters once he's gone because to do so will lead to a level of complacency that will backfire spectacularly. 

Who succeeds him? There’s a bit of a charisma vacuum like the Dems had in 2016. No obvious successor, unless they try to put one of his dipshit sons in charge.

What am I thinking? There won’t be any elections anyway..

The Reagan republicans need to be excised from the Democratic Party. Just look at the meltdown they're having in NYC because of Mamdani. These Reagan republicans would rather deal with the fascists in the opposition than progressives in their own party.

It isn’t just the right wingers. No one goes after the left as hard as the center-left.

The second part I agree with. 

New political parties. The Republican Party is dead. The Democratic Party needs to die. 

I think this is but of a sideshow at this point, but the Epstein shit is wild.

You knew this was coming. 

Fuck. I gotta start paying more attention to local politics.

Really stuck on what to watch next, despite so many options.  I watched Severance and was watching Friends and Neighbors & the Studio in a desultory way.  Finished Blood of Zeus.  Gave up on Murderbot.  Are any of the other SFF shows on Netflix any good? 

There's so much TV out there, but seemingly nothing to rival House of Dragons, White Lotus (esp. season 1 & 2).  Need recommendations please!

 

Kaos on Netflix is supposed to be good. I haven’t seen it yet but it was highly recommended by someone who cares about me.

‘Tried rewatching The Force Awakens recently. Couldn’t finish it. I don’t know if it’s because the hype is years dead or if it’s memories of how the whole thing wound up, but I thought it was incredibly dull. I switched it off half way through.

In other news, Ran is playing at an indie theater near me in a few weeks.

I’m going to see Ran in a few weeks. 

I’ll be taking as many as five nieces with me; who have not seen it.

I assume this is the recently restored version.

Cinema, bitches. 

‘Haven’t stalked the entertainment threads in a while. ‘Happy to see some things never change.

preeeequelllllllfiiiiiiiiiight….

Oh good. Conspiracy theories about “Iranian sleeper cells in the US”.

Next they’ll be saying, “we have to fight them over there so we don’t fight them over here”.

The amount of electrons inconvenienced over a policy idea from a primary winner for the mayor of a (admittedly major) city is really quite something. 

He’s running for mayor, not Dictator of New York. Something to keep in mind. 

“Grocery stores run by the city”

Manitoba has liquor stores run by the province and they kind of rock NGL. 
 

It’s how the provincial government was able to pass legislation taking American booze off shelves, Donald. 
 

I don’t know who this guy is, but he seems to be pissing off the right people.

So much drama.

Dying. I’m fucking dying.
