I spent 20 minutes trying to force myself not to write a post that would have gotten me a visit from the FBI. So new plan, every time I feel the need to write one of these posts, I’m just putting an unpopular opinion in this thread. Ideally one of these will get me run off BlueSky so I stop posting.

"Fucking magnets, how do they work?" Maybe Trump could emulate Violent J in another way?
“For the rest of your life, when your friends ask why your dad said that, say it’s because your dad was a fool. Don’t defend me. Say I was a fool then, but I’m not now.”

I think if we read between the lines of our contemporary and near-contemporary sources it's pretty clear that Qui-Gon Jinn was Anakin's father. The Jedi sources of course won't admit this directly but what they *don't* say makes any other explanation unlikely, to my mind anyway.

Oh, you think I don’t understand movies? Would someone who doesn’t understand movies write “great movie” underneath a movie post?
Joyce Carol Oates owned Elon so hard he's spent the last day posting about movies he hasn't seen in 15 years

There are legitimate, moral reasons to end the shutdown. If Republicans don’t care about the impact of their cruelty I get it.
But if the reason they ended it was to save the filibuster (which is my belief, and which the Ezra Klein reporting backs up) they can all go to hell.

Other than being a shitty thing to say, it’s just not true - human’s aren’t diverse at all, a human has more in common genetically with another random human than a dog does with a sibling from the same litter.

“My endorsement means a lot to me” is a sentence I can’t stop thinking about, it feels like the key to understanding everything about the man.
Trump: "My endorsement means a lot to me, so I was a little disappointed in the fact that New Jersey -- I thought New Jersey would do a little bit better than that."
