- Turns out HBO Max subscribers didn’t want reality show slop, they wanted high quality scripted comedies and dramas… and that’s the first good news I’ve heard in a while.
- Because I've been writing about eastern Kentucky, I occasionally do a Bluesky search on the word "Appalachia". Each time I do, I'm floored by the lack of empathy and the sheer level of hatred so-called liberals have toward some America's poorest people.
- Why don't they take some personal responsibility and pull themselves up by their bootstraps? Because that's not how shit actually works? Yet its been their excuse and justification for generations. They voted their circumstances on all of us for decades and we are suppose to feel sympathy?
- And also, helping poor people shouldn’t come with strings attached, you psycho
- You treated them like this even when they did vote Democrat. Also a lot of them still are democrats, even though democrats repeatedly fucked them.
- Nathan Fielder is a legitimate artist.
- Is “near-universal agreement” in the room with you?
- my kingdom for anyone on the “dems should take culturally moderate positions” to explain what this actually means in practice? www.thebulwark.com/p/hard-calls...

That and the leaders holding thumbs on scale to keep their power- instead of cultivating new talent and elevating the future of the dems
- I agree with most of this, except I do think the Dems are a party of the elite. Neither party represents the interests of working people.
- I’m married to a Scorpio and my best friend and mom are also Scorpios but when I meet a new one I’m like “no thank you, I’ve reached my quota.”
- They are a lot but I love them
- One of my biggest criticisms of the first Avengers film was that it looked tele-visual and I feel so validated now.
- I think even good movies feel more like tv now. I thought Sinners felt like 2 or 3 eps of a good HBO show.
- Truly, I don’t know about this party anymore. If only they fought fascism this hard.
- I keep seeing the term "post left" to describe people who are, well... just plain old traditional leftists. And the people using the term mean it as a slur, consider themselves the *actual* leftists, and in most cases are actually liberals.
