The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil (Mon Mothma, Andor). The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common (Adam Serwer). Sh*tposts and takes on politics, movies, culture, whatever.

"Pornstars get married to get rich" seems like a sitcom that would work out really well in this universe. Taking Myers-Briggs tests to figure out compatibility, weird activist who thinks they're doing fraud somehow always stalking them, etc.

Feels like straight porn would be a premium product, given that it's illegal to produce unless you get married (pornstars must have a high marriage rate). Also seems like sexting levels should be through the roof.

I will say this: by treating the Odyssey like a sort of Greek Bible, you make it unadaptable because every adaptation falls short in some manner. There is some aspect of the story’s original format that is lost when you start casting, condensing, and rearranging the timeline.

The Wilson vs Nolan discourse is somewhat exhausting because Wilson seems only be grading it as an adaptation, which is a fair perspective, but not how most people will grade it.

1/ Re: the Epstein financial stuff, you have to understand it's less risky to launder money through major financial institutions than it is through the black market, even if the black market is your destination. Of course Epstein didn't tell the banks he was sex trafficking.

The correct way to answer this question was: Collins: "Do you think Thanksgiving should be cancelled?" Hong: "No." Collins: "You said so in a deleted tweet." Hong: "Yeah, like everyone I got carried away and had a dumb opinion. I'm not trying to cancel Thanksgiving."

one thing that I appreciated about Zohran was his willingness to backtrack from some of the Woke 1.0 era posts that didn’t age well and were posted in a different context. I do not understand why Hong is incapable of doing that, especially since she is running in a swing state instead of NYC

Collins: Do you still believe that Thanksgiving should be canceled?
Hong: I'm a chef, and one of the first meals that I made was for the community when I was 16 was a Thanksgiving meal. But Thanksgiving is also a time that's incredibly painful for many people in our communities. And so I think there, I wanted to make sure that people understood that there are multiple views, but views can evolve. And the position that I'm running for right now, and I think my background as a chef will actually help me become a better governor that's able to bring more people to the table.
