Ice cold take but I think we need a government position where if an elected official is blatantly dodging a question or explicitly speaking in bad faith about any group, theres a guy there to smack the official in question with a 2x4

Will Smith seems embarrassed by his movie raps when they were 90% of the reason we liked Will Smith, does he think I want to hear his music NOT involving the men in black?

So what you have *actually* discovered is that an American family working at minimum wage is *meaningfully better off* in terms of access to real resources than someone on the lower runs of Victorian Britain's educated *urban middle class.*
Quite the opposite of the intended implication!

Anyway, affordability is a problem (build more houses) and we need to bring down costs (build more houses) but I don't think that effort (building more houses) is aided by deceptive comparisons that imply no real increase in living standards since 1843, a thing which is obviously, laughably untrue.

Like we don't think of Carrie Fisher as a nepo baby even though she clearly was, because she was great but also because, eg, Harrison Ford was previously a carpenter and weed dealer, not also a film star's kid. We don't want a world with no Carrie Fishers, but we've got one with no new Fords.

This. The problem isn't that someone gets a helping hand from their parents, it's that the helping hand is *needed*. There should be pathways into the arts for people of other backgrounds.
One thing that rankles with me - slightly - about nepo baby discourse, is that seemingly 90% of successful actors in the UK have a massive structural advantage simply from being born rich. To obsess over the 1% who also have famous parents as if THAT'S the problem, misses the forest for the trees.
Thing is as Nepo parent, you’re in a bind, you aren’t going to hinder your kids professional progress to make a political point. But surely you just say yes, their background helped.

311. Return of the Jedi is the most successful realization of Lucas’s conception of Star Wars as a Flash Gordon style film serial, in the way it jumps from the Jabba’s Palace adventure to the completely different but tangentially connected Battle of Endor.

13. It’s perfectly fine that there are a bunch of secret Jedi banging around after the Purge. Even if there were a thousand of them, the Galaxy is huge. Lucas even suggested 1,000 scattered Jedi survived in one of his earliest drafts.

One of my hottest takes is that I genuinely really love when people are blasting music from their cars (or bikes I g) with the windows down.

Also, I thought we were all on the same page re: Internet Death Threats? As in, don't do it, and take them seriously when appropriate?
"I was kidding!" OK, so don't kid about that? Also, literally every weird stalker that's gone on to kill their ex said the exact same thing? How are ppl to know?

Quick observations, gang:
- Your dunk/joke is not worth a criminal charge.
- You are, in no way, as anonymous as you may think you are.
- Certain entities are literally obligated to take comments like "I am going to kill you" seriously. By law, and to cover their own asses.

PORN IS ART, PORN IS GOOD, PEOPLE MAKING PORN IS A SIGN OF A HEALTHY SOCIETY
There has been a noticeable reticence in left and liberal circles to voice full-throated support for pornography, even as it's become increasingly clear what the open end goals of the censorship movement are
In a lot of ways other leftists chose this path folks. They shrugged and didn’t care when Patreon banned a ton of hypnosis and TF creators, or when YouTube started their ASMR crackdown. Now it’s coming for queer porn creators, more and more. Who will stand up?

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.
