Yo, should I send in an audition video for Squid Game Season 3?
Sent one in for number two, clearly didn't make it. I'm at least double as interesting as I was last time.

Agreed. Jewish folks are about 2.4% of the population of the US, there are many millions (hundreds of millions?) of people who have not met, or don't know they have met, a single Jewish person in their lives, and don't ever think about them, but live in very red areas.
I do think a lot of people are underestimating the risks of the GOP civil war. I remember thinking in 2015/16 that Trump moving the the GOP further to the right was going to make it easier for Dems to win, and boy was I wrong there. The Outright Antisemitism wing beating MAGA could be Real Bad.

@tysonapostol.bsky.social Is it weird talking to Q this episode? I have to think that part of this discussion felt like him talking about the past. He's not on this season, he has played with *redacted* and *redacted* AFTER they were on this season, so presumably he knows more than he can let on.

Watching Savannah cry about being iced out by her co-workers, given how we see her act on the show, is giving "Liz Lemon Goes To Her High School Reunion" vibes

A lot of discussions of liberalism focus on what @nescio13.bsky.social calls its “ameliorative, mitigating spirit,” the checks and balances tradition, the ways it calls for state power to be restrained and respect legal rights. www.liberalcurrents.com/liberalisms-...
Liberalism's Positive Vision Must Be the Open Society
Liberalism is not just the mitigation of dangers. It is also an active striving towards a world that is truly free.

I've often wanted Survivor to be a little meaner, but then I watch squidgame the challenge and I'm not so sure

I have a skeet currently doing some numbers, so to my new followers, the handful of you, I promise you only this: lukewarm takes on the CBS show Survivor, left-leaning politics, and no foot pics, unless you motherfuckers start acting up.

So you're telling me the people who flipped the game on its head at the merge rather than staying original-tribe strong are NOT the ones on #Survivor50??
