Was struck on a recent rewatch that, more than anything else, the pilot put viewers in the "Walter's life sucks because his bitch wife emasculates him; therefore, his meth-making is actually good and cool because he's reclaiming control" frame.
Breaking bad was about a guy who had many opportunities for his healthcare to be paid for (his former business partners, jrs accidental money laundering go fund me), but he preferred selling meth because ruining other people's lives feels more manly than accepting gifts.

If he gave even the slightest shit about kids or Hep B patients, he wouldn't have voted to confirm RFK. So why pretend now?

At a certain point, I will need convincing that having no military isn't superior to one led by people this weak
Like make them fucking fire you, the moral cowardice of the modern American officer corps knows no bounds

Thinking of the time I overheard two 60-something coworkers discussing Pokemon, and one described it as cock fighting for kids.

I love going to the dog park with my kids. The old (human) regulars will make a beeline for me, ready to subject me to their endless chatter, then BAM! my 5-year-old hits them with the reverse. They never see it coming. When they get tired of her, in swoops the 13-year-old to charm their socks off.

"Natural Birth" was a fairly obvious ploy to get women to be their own oppressors that nevertheless was wildly successful because it activated that part of our lizard brains that loves the opportunity to prove ourselves better than other women
The whole "natural birth natural life no medicine" crowd is actually more unfathomable to me than even nazis, like I understand what drives a nazi, I cannot wrap my head around the thought process that argues that the best plan is to embrace the methods that historically led to a lifespan of 27 yrs

8-year-old told me he had a dream that his dad and I got divorced and I remarried...Ryan Reynolds. "He was always trying to act cool around us, like Deadpool. I didn't like him at all."

A whale caught in crab nets is fighting for her life on the Oregon Coast near Yachats, with so many people rushing there before official help arrives at dawn. The whale is vocalizing distress, asking for help. It's devastating. We have to find a way to stop entanglements. Unconscionable.

Was finishing up vacuuming out the car when a royal blue, 1998(?) Cadillac DeVille came rolling down the street blasting "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone," so, yeah, my Saturday's going pretty great.

Access to vaccines is not a privilege — it is a human right.

Kids have a right to vaccinations. Let's bring in the lawyers
Children suffering from diseases that should have been consigned to history is a moral failure. Access to vaccines is a human right.

Senate Democrats are in a lot of no-win situations here, but the part that is actually frustrating is you cannot in good faith believe, at least I can’t, that this is a caucus committed to changing those structural dynamics when they’re in power again

There will be some "Wow you can't make these people happy" sentiment but what's really happening is the Dems are beginning to reap the consequences of not really believing in anything. Choreographed maneuvers, too clever by half talking points. People have just had it

This almost certainly played in to the urgency among Senate Dems to cave. Not the primary factor, but definitely more of a concern than SNAP for the "yes" voters.
Dems finally have Trump sweating and poking the GOP Senate over the filibuster, it’s a strange time to be looking for an offramp.

People will continue to vote for Trump/Republicans, no matter what they do, because their phones tell them to.
The only way to change that is to change what their phones tell them.

This mindset sucks so much. Your parents' money is *theirs,* not yours.
