I mean if any one of these victims were directly abused by Trump they wouldn’t need these files to say so in public

I mean there isn’t anything about this that’s embarrassing for trump. he and the entire gop are pretending this will force the release at the same time that they all know it won’t happen. they’re all enjoying this charade
November 18, 2025 at 9:22 PM
everybody already knows they aren’t getting released even if everybody votes to do it, that’s why everybody’s suddenly talking about it

no see those are jugs, spheres are more naturally vaulted from and into

this is a tough one because I wonder whether there is a threat that they couldn’t almost immediately dismantle through some alternative path. a framing like “do ______ or else I’ll ______” seems like it would be hard to fill in the blanks with something where you also survive and enjoy the results

haha I agree there is a lot of anxiety in wanting Carol to get it into gear. Any gear. well ok except for reverse

what was new to me was the experience of realizing that she needs them in a fundamental way that isn’t illustrated in earlier episodes. the fact that they will mobilize her to please her wasn’t new, I agree, but I think the meaning of that mobilization is different here

the device is surprising because she could use it and weapons like it to wipe out the hive, it’s like an obvious reason why they _shouldn’t_ have brought it to her
November 15, 2025 at 7:58 PM
the store bit isn’t a gag, it’s Carol wishing to be left alone and hoping she’d be able to just hop on over to sprouts on her own time, but she can’t and won’t be able to do that. It’s Carol learning that she is fully dependent on the collective for her own basic survival

I don’t think he’s on bsky

asked her to stop *what*?

academic pedigree can’t stop him from being an abject idiot in multiple dimensions

you could support the rest of us by slithering out of your useless position as pretend leader of the minority and of the caucus. everybody would cheer this move and you could set the bar for the other twits who don’t have the nuts for this work
November 11, 2025 at 6:23 PM
this sounds remarkably similar to your career this entire year. why weren’t heads rolling in the senate before these idiots all flopped? you can step down any time now, we’ll all be cheering

to build a magnet system would take two years

maybe you’re not paying attention but this is what every democrat in congress has been publicly soothing themselves with since the beginning of the year, wringing their hands in a hapless brain fog while we all collectively realize what a bunch of worthless saps we have pretending to represent us
November 10, 2025 at 9:35 PM
you hadn’t even started before caving, what do you mean “keep fighting”?
November 10, 2025 at 5:48 AM
who does she think she’s talking to?
November 10, 2025 at 5:30 AM
ok fair point - keeping my eyes on how this develops

technically it’s bury ONE of the gays, and make the other one the full on star of the entire series

also not clear to me at this point that there isn’t *any* kind of autonomy among them, what to make of (apparently consensual) one-on-one sex with Mr Diabatè, an act which isn’t obviously in service of the mission to clean up the destruction they wrought

it could be read as american exceptionalism, I suppose, but it could also be read (as I was reading it) as obnoxious american hyper-individualism

I also wasn’t reading the other pov’s as not getting it so much as relieved to still have their families with them, and unwilling (yet) to see evil there

the point of that sequence is to get you to notice that that woman, in her normal pre-virus life, was absolutely not a pilot, yet she knows how to operate that complicated cargo plane and get it to take off without destroying it on a runway cut in half by debris from crashes caused by the virus

there sure does seem to be a lot of lecturing material available for the jewish people these days
