I'm a fan of the original movie
It also came out 20 years ago when the journalism landscape was indeed shaky but not so fucking dire ... I'm not sure I can get down with whatever wish fulfillment this is going for 😩

What if the model is: “be a good candidate for the race you’re running in the place you’re running.” I understand this attempt to assert one model over another, but it seems to fly in the face of the entire history of politics.

overthinking from a parent who watches Monsters Inc every day: it’s weird that the company apparently has a board of directors but completely folds when Waternoose gets arrested — like, it’s not like their core operations are illegal, he was running a scheme, couldn’t they just appoint someone new

A bit of a contrarian view. Democrats likely won't pay a price for this in the midterms. The American memory is quite short on political machinations. But Republicans are about to learn a central tenet of American politics: You cannot give people a benefit and then take it away.

“This thing I inherited from my grandparents is so much better and sturdier than things I buy today.” Yes, because *you inherited it.*. You didn’t inherit all the other stuff because it broke or wore out or was just junk that got thrown out when somebody died.
