Oh hey, you’re right! That’s 100% what it is. Didn’t realize it until you said it, but that pattern matches all the streaming shows I’ve seen.

I finally watched Andor fairly recently and it is probably the most perfectly paced show I’ve seen since the streaming era has started, or at least it’s up there. I still love Arcane a lot and would rank it higher than you for its interesting characters and relationships alone, and the way it gives them all agency while still placing them in the context of their situations, societies, and systems (a compliment I also give to Andor btw), it also helps that I came into Arcane with negative expectations instead of any positive ones. However, I also understand the fast pacing criticism you have. It seems like every show I’ve seen in the streaming era has either too many or too few episodes.

I’m trying to think of other streaming shows as well-paced as Andor and I’m coming up extremely short. Maybe Daredevil S1? Maybe Severance? But ya, seems like everything nowadays either has too many episodes, like a movie stretched over 6-10 episodes and it drags at some points, or there’s too few and the show isn’t able to spend enough time in it’s most promising moments. I have way more examples in my head of the former though which may be why they leaned towards the faster side of pacing for this particular show.

And it’ll probably work unless the left can get really organized by then to offer the working-class part of this country an alternative.

It’s not the Democrats fault it’s the left for not voting for Harris! It’s Muslims! It’s Latinos! It’s Gen Z! But especially, the left!

We were already appealing to them with a $25,000 credit for your first home and by not being Trump. What else do they need?

Even more likely with RFK running health and food services, isn’t it?

I still need to watch that one. It’s too bad, it seemed like a really good one for theaters but I completely missed it.

I hope they do like a satirical version of it. This is great. Nice to see some funny and good news for once.

And look how mad Alex Jones is! It gives me the warm and fuzzies.

This makes him so mad, which gives me warm and fuzzy feelings =)

With the recent huge amounts of layoffs, video game crunch stories, and popularization of how tech is going downhill as a good career path, I wonder if it will start making progress towards unionization finally.

Ah makes sense. Is Brazil not friendly with Venezuela? Do they use the same standard communist bad language as the US so an association with them hurts Lula’s re-election?

He’s ghoulish and sucks obviously, but other than that, he’s just another standard neocon, isn’t he? Wonder if any Trump fans who were hoping for something different than the standard Republicans and their playbook are getting disappointed with these picks.

But then, it’s foreign policy and Israel specifically, so I guess only Nick Fuentes and his groypers care, while the used car dealership owners and MBA failsons who make up the rest of his base either don’t care or are happy for more blood for their imperial machine.

Trump taps Mike Huckabee to be his ambassador to Israel.

A few highlights:

• He has previously spoken out against efforts to negotiate a ceasefire deal
• Huckabee was a longtime evangelical minister before running for political office and regularly leads “The Israel Experience” trips that take tour groups to sites with Biblical and historical significance
• In Jan. 2017, Huckabee spoke in the West Bank in front of a banner vowing to “Build Israel Great Again” while touting the policy shift Trump’s administration would bring.
• He refuses to call the settlements in the West Bank settlements, and prefers to call them “communities”. He also refuses to use the word “occupation”, or even call it the West Bank.

Wasn’t Lula the one who vetoed Venezuela being in BRICS. I’m so confused by what’s going on over there.

So just standard neocons again? Makes sense. Don’t know why I expected anything differently.

It’s also a thought experiment taking place during a short, discrete moment of time on the track. What if you stretch out the track by years? The path that seemed good before may have way more people tied to it in the long run.

That’s how I saw it if the Dems felt they could get away with doing a genocide forever without a political consequence. I mean, it’s hard to get much worse than that, but if the Dems feel they can do anything as long as it’s one step less out loud evil than what the fascist Republicans are doing, and the Republicans keep sprinting right as fast as possible, there’s literally nothing that will stop them from later abandoning those other groups people liked to put on the trolley as being saved if Harris got into office.

No one in the country wanted to take the prisoners and he was just an uwu small bean President of the United States who couldn’t do anything after that.

Feel like I can’t go anywhere on the internet right now. Thank God for this place.

My favorite is the Vietnam War reenactment one.

What did they do to elbit? Were they able you accomplish anything?

I saw McDonald’s on the organic boycott list, but don’t recall seeing Starbucks. Maybe I’m wrong, but I thought I saw a video where they said it’s not on there but they support people who boycott it if they want.
