At its core, conservatism is about how "You instinctively know more about any and every given subject than people who devote their entire lives to studying it."
Gut and God trump science and experience every time in conservatism.
Conservatism is deeply stupid people preaching to other deeply stupid people that the world is so much simpler and uncomplicated than all these "elitist" eggheads pretend. Then getting elected and learning the rule of unintended consequences.
Absolutely. I have rewatched Supernatural a bunch and I am re-watching DS9 again for many reasons, but this is one of them.
22 episode seasons too 😭
What’s filler to you might be exemplary world-building or moving character development to me. Many of the most engaging TV episodes of the past few decades are, by some definitions, mere “filler.” One working definition of filler could be: “This episode didn’t supply the things I personally like.”

If you'll recall, Ginsburgh used to tell us how great a guy Scalia was. Every Senator voted for Senator Marco Rubio to be Secretary of State. And now you have other Senators saying Senator Markwayne Mullin is "respected."
People in power are the WORST judges of their colleagues
Yeah, this too. :)
Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.
My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence!

Love traveling three hours, getting a hotel room, only to discover my MD appointment was cancelled and no, you didn’t call my VM is clear.
Twice in two years. Bugger. If this happens again next week I’m billing them for my stay.
🤣😂
The takeaway from the success of Iron Lung isn't to fund YouTubers making sci-fi movies about games.
The secret is that Markiplier is a creative person who made something that excited him.
This is also the secret sauce behind Sinners.
There is no repeatable trend. Fund creative people. The end
Markwayne Mullin is a knuckleheaded plumber and the only Senator not to have a bachelors degree. Republicans in the Senate confirming the Mullin appointment to run Homeland Security will show their usual disregard for the well-being of the citizens of this country while blindly pleasing Trump.
Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.
The station hungers!
There’s also the undeniable way that the neutral races have a much much weaker story with the factions they join.
Earthen might as well not exist outside of Kaz Algar for the notability they have, Dracthyr barely got a touch of story, and Harranir are just individuals who won’t get connections.

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it
Anyways.
It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.
Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.
These are not the words of a national leader or professional soldier. ThIs is a freshman during fraternity rush hoping to impress and slowly summoning his own erection in the process.
Are you someone interested in hearing a lesbian and mean bisexual yapping too much on queer character depictions in a big IP, intentions behind writing/interpretations, community history and current state of queer depictions re: said big IP?
Do I have a video for you! ✨️

The moon going from full moon to a red moon and starting to go back to a normal full moon, then my camera battery door fell off.
Here's my first edit on the March 3rd Lunar Eclipse. 15 moon shots, 1 foreground. Taken over a 3 hourish period.
This is really important. If you use Gen-AI as a creative literally in any way, you are both *endangering your own copyright* AND plagiarising others’ copyright. There is no such thing as “AI-assisted creative work”, it is entirely (oxy)moronic
In a 218-214 House, all this would take is THREE patriotic GOP reps to defect in order to strip Johnson of his gavel.
Is Jeffries even trying to turn a few? Or are there really no takers even though the war is at 27% approval?
One of the coolest, funniest actors ever to grace a movie screen, equally adept with his voice, face, and body language. There's some alternate universe where he's coasting gracefully into retirement as an A-list lead. I think it's a better world than this one.
A reminder that the people in charge are in a death cult where they believe a war in the middle east—and the destrucruin of Isreal—will lead to the second coming of Jesus.
They are deliberatly trying to destroy the world for this belief
And BOOM goes the dynamite. To all the AI Bros who have slid into my mentions to tell me that you CAN in fact copyright AI materials, the Supreme Court has told you to go suck rocks. A prompt is not authorship. And if there is no author, there is no valid copyright.

Always favorite. I think it's the shape of the wings...
I'm generally okay with most things associated with my age, but the one that stings is realizing that all of my heroes -- writers, filmmakers, actors, etc, the creatives who helped shape my tastes in books and movies in the 70s, 80s, and 90s -- are now at the age where they're dropping like flies.
The liberal justices call out the *rank* hypocrisy of their Republican colleagues on the Court
