Thank you. I liked it but the pacing was off for me for each of the three episode blocks. I would have loved to see where it went if they were able to stick to their original five season plan.

Hey @ericacbarnett.bsky.social I think there’s some text missing from the second to last paragraph.

What still makes me laugh is that abled people will still blithely utter “I wish I could stay home all day!”.
As if they didn’t fight like rabid dogs to stay ‘normal’. As if they didn’t object to paying folks to be off work. As if they didn’t loose their damn minds in mere weeks of lockdown.

My Dad was a lifelong Republican who believed Hillary Clinton personally killed Vince Foster.

He voted for Hillary and Joe Biden. Those were his final two presidential votes.

He preferred someone he believed to be a murderer to Trump.

You know, I haven’t seen Wall Street in a long time…what happened in that movie to the character who made that speech he’s paraphrasing?

How does he manage to always look like the villain in a Rankin/Bass stop motion Christmas special?

This isn’t even a “both sides” thing, because there is funding available to continue SNAP benefits through at least mid-November in the SNAP contingency fund, and the Trump administration has the authority to transfer additional funds. This is a one-sided political choice.

There was a bar in DC in the early 00’s that used to do a weekly Shiner Bock countdown, where pints started at $0.25 when they opened for the day and increased by $0.50 every hour after that.
