Love the show. A lot of thought-provoking subjects, and this one stood out big in ep 2. “We” chooses The Pirate Lady that Carol is attracted to, makes everyone happy, Mr. Diabate’s harem (sharing a single mind), the decision between the two, Carol’s last-second decision. A lot to ponder about agency

I hadn’t thought much about Carol as metaphor for the US, but I was thinking hard on how she gets upset (naturally and justifiably imo) and overloads them by directing the hate at “we,” killing millions of people she doesn’t consider human, then regretting the anger. I think this could apply.

Gotta work in the theatrics at karaoke. Makes it all the more fun. I usually don’t try G&R but I have done Mr. Brownstone, and that’s a blast to sing. You oughtta give it a shot sometime.

My favorite song for karaoke. The wigged Biz playing piano lives forever in my mind.

I got a good chuckle out of your snow straw joke.

Yeah that’s insane. And his cronies throwing around that it should happen since he “helped it get built.” What they mean is the baby will throw a tantrum about the approval if all new structures aren’t built to honor his unholiness. Every action and word out of his mouth is an act of tyranny.

I’m so glad you saw this bc I immediately thought of your posts when I caught this Onion post earlier.

Worst Bond movie ever. A must-watch.

It’s the best of the worst James Bond films. I admire it for going wayyy too far, and I will also tune in every time I see it. Read the book and they don’t even go to a moon base. So boring.

I drove with my tambourine in the floorboard of my truck to a jam about 2 months ago and have left it in the truck ever since. Had the exact same thought when I crossed a railroad track this weekend. Just that little jingle brightens the day.

Same. Only podcasts I previously listened to were NPR for news stories. Told my friends to stop sending me stuff bc talking heads would spout off terrible analyses on topics they knew little about. I’ve been saying free speech is great, but shouldn’t there be penalties for blatant lies/misinfo?

Me! I have Kelce in 2 fantasy leagues, so I need to know how this may affect his performance on Monday night.

Last significant case I can remember where they denied the govt access to iPhones (or creating new software to unlock iPhones) was 2016 San Bernadino terrorist attack. I’ve got a feeling they’d fold and just unlock the phones if it was requested now.
