Fox guest on how to save money during the holidays:
"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."

Yeah, cause it made the movie better
I invented this complex while still fuming with anger after seeing the Cameron film and frustrated because I wasn't allowed to punch people in the cinema.
I'm sure you can think of a few examples in other films:

All I'm ever really inclined to say in response to this question is, "Yeah, and a lot of art fucking sucks." Close the book.
there are no interesting answers to the question, "are video games art?" the entire tedious conversation cycle exists as a riposte to a 70-year-old film critic who has now been dead for over a decade (RIP).
it's time to move on, pursue other lines of discourse.

It ignores two of her biggest causes because of political bias
Alice fought tirelessly for Covid mitigations
She fought for the people of Gaza
She rightfully reminded us that the genocide in Gaza is a disability justice issue

COVID was the ruling classes experiment to see if people would give up on the social contract to prioritize themselves, once they saw people were willing to let disabled, elderly and poor people die for their own convenience, they have slowly taken the mask fully off day by day and now we are here.

This is rape culture.
This is why so many people don’t come forward.
A young girl was being bullied at school by a boy who made AI generated nudes of her.
She told the principal. She told the guidance counsellor. They didn’t stop it.
Finally she hit the boy responsible, and SHE got expelled:

remembering the time a random catholic priest got mad at me about a hypothetical about the government restricting meat production on the other site
meat politics is going to be insane for the next Dem administration which takes climate change seriously, imo

Masking indoors in public spaces boils down to this for me now:
I love never being sick from airborne infectious diseases.
The last cold I had was in early 2019, with not even a sniffle since. The only thing I don't do is dine indoors in public spaces; a good trade for health.

Why is no one talking about it? Where's the media? Where's the public outcry? Another example of the pervasive nature of ableism and how society views disabled people as expendable.

#BREAKING: Justice Jackson has issued an "administrative" stay, temporarily pausing a district court order that would've required the USDA to continue using contingency funds to pay SNAP benefits.
The stay expires 48 hours after the First Circuit rules on USDA's request for a stay pending appeal.
