--do not want to accept the actual themes of that movie because they want to blame their unhappiness on everyone but themselves, because then they'd have to work and change and might even feel bad about the shit they do and think if they liked and respected themselves. It's Lolita all over again.

Oh you've got me started now. The whole theme was how respecting yourself and your life lets you respect others enough not to do damaging shit. The impetus for Lester changing his life came from a gross place, but he came out of it better and respectful enough to not damage this girl. But some men--

I don't tend to save memes, so can't p[articipate beyond: is that a Mage: the Awakening trans meme? Because if it is, I might *start* saving memes just for that one!

That ... that just hurts my brain on so many levels.

I don't understand "haven't got room". I'll store books on any available flat surface. But if I get your books, I'll be very low on flat surfaces. ...I needed a new bookshelf anyway, and I can spare some of the dining table until then. Thank you, probable new favourite writer.

M9's campaign is going to take well to the streamlining and perspective shifts that a TV series demands, I think. VM happened at the world; the world happened at the Nein. Makes it more important to see world events outside M9's immediate view. Seeing the cast solo, and meeting, was great too.

I just like the fact that the 20-somethings are looking. There are a lot of reaction videos of Gen Z watching Queen's set on Live Aid, and they're adorable and hilarious. Especially when they get to "We Will Rock You" and go, "Wait, THAT'S QUEEN?!?"

(...Not looking forward to the fight I understand this song comes attached to, though. Apparently it's ... epic and DIFFICULT.)

The worst part is that I think I know why they resist that explanation - remember the last two Doctors? The reception they got? If 007 is a code designation, 007 could be someone OTHER than a Straight White Man. They can't have that (whereas I would peel someone's feet for Idris Elba Bond).

I hear that. Being migraine-prone *sucks* this time of year.

I'm glad. It wouldn't have computed for me. Milkshaking (the act of pouring a milkshake on a politician as an act of protest) is popular enough here that McDonalds is asked to stop selling milkshakes when Farage is in town. And this guy freaks at a sandwich to the body armour? Big baby.
