Just a reminder: they were never actually against cancel culture. They were against the cancellation of people they agree with or like. They’ve always been enthusiastically in favor cancelling people they don’t like. If you took them at their word you’re a useful idiot.

WSJ this morning. lol at the last bit.
"Leaders on both sides need to stop describing the stakes of the election in apocalyptic terms. Democracy won't end if one or the other candidate is elected. Fascism is not aborning if Mr. Trump wins, unless you have little faith in American institutions."

Blueskies: share this P+ binge code with someone who needs to see Lower Decks!
It's helpful to have new viewers show up as I negotiate how many starships we're budgeted for in season 5.
Code expires TOMORROW.
(You can also watch the D&D movie on there, which is great.)
