This point is especially important. The EO on "gender identity," for example, is biologically and historically incoherent and inaccurate, but the point is to make those lies true, to make those non-existent "natural" categories "real," via the exertion of state power.

Out of our 3 dogs, Winnie is the only one that sleeps like that regularly.

I'd argue we're already there, they've just managed to distract from it somewhat successfully so far. It could be argued that's part of how Donnie managed to get some of his support, people hoping to tip the pot over. But it won't tip the pot over, and the water will probably start boiling soon.

Depends on the platform. The bird app had the 5k constraint, so I did play that game to avoid that. I don't really know why most people would do that here.

I follow who I find interesting, or I engage with a lot.
I think most people who follow me think I'm the Muppet.

As of 2021 over half of K-12 schools do not have counselors on staff, including 17% of high schools (I googled it because I was curious). I'd guess even fewer had them in the 80s.

As for her, though, no clue who she is. I checked her timeline though, and I agree she's a fucking liar.

I generally dislike podcasts, but I'll make an exception because black holes.

Or you're both wrong. That's what happens with generalizations.

My school didn't have counseling, we had an announcement later that day that one of the priests was available after school if any of us needed to talk.

I'm sure some schools did better, and some did worse.

The youngest GenX were 6. They might not have grasped it completely, but that didn't stop them from being scared and confused by it and the reactions of older people around them.

The oldest GenX would typically have been at work or in college, shuffling off to the next class.

Happy New Year, and we'd best brace ourselves, I suppose.

One more week before people stop showing up randomly at my house. So excited!

For now, anyway.

I'd never considered that, but yes...except those were the days where some cop showing their butt for half a second on NYPD Blue sent society into a tailspin, so "PG-13" might be overselling it.

I completely blame MTV for Jersey Shore - it was the natural evolution of their spring break specials, I think. lol

I'm not sure whether I'd even suggest watching it, but I have a soft spot for it. It's probably of greatest interest as part of a specific era in sci-fi TV series popularization, along with shows like Space: 1999.

But the basic plot would make for a good modern day show.

I never sat through an episode. Reality TV just never maintained my interest, unless it was Gordon making people admit they were idiot sandwiches.

Talking about Big Brother does remind me of Fear Factor tho, and Rogan's transition from News Radio character to nutty podcaster. Dude's had a wild ride

I think in that regards, the Friends reunion special is the most we'll ever see. That window has passed.

I'm shocked that Buck Rogers hasn't gotten a reboot yet, though.
