Carter: also firefly was strangely white considering the supposed in-universe Chinese cultural hegemony
Whedon: ok maybe but
Whedon: consider this
Whedon: it was feminist!
Carter: i'm getting to that
Simmons: i tell you, it's political correctness gone mad!
Simmons: why, it's getting so that you can't even be racist anymore!
Mary Shelley: hey
Shelley: aren't you dead
Simmons:
Simmons: wow
Simmons: too soon
so what happened was, i read nine john le carré books, then i saw the pictures of the preposterous drapery SCIF at mar a lago where the iran war was being conducted, and then i thought about how many spies there must be at that place
and then i wrote a short story

You gotta mute just long enough to be fairly sure they saw it, THEN block
Ridiculous language
Post from Niedermeyer dot online "Absolutely... And there are a whole lotta soccer moms on a whole lotta prescription medications who deserve that kind of emotional response more than the robot did"
Also taking a moment to be casually misogynistic and weirdly I guess ableist or something as if only women can be distracted and the only prescription is Daytime Ambien
Weird to specifically call out women drivers and people taking medication approved by a doctor
Like, really really weird actually
Why wouldn't you just say bad and/or inattentive drivers?
It's not great!!
Oh yeah I'm lil older than you, but exchange rate
This sounds like a joke but in my day they were $5
This seems fair
You know when I advocated for funding to go towards music and not weapons this is not quite what I meant
This is like when I make several basic mistakes in a row and say "actually if you really think about it I'm doing very well all things considered"
But I'm a musician not a DOJ lawyer!
Lawyers, man! Sometimes they can be good!
Maybe they were just, uh, really big fans of Bing?
"foreshadowing"
What are the chances he was chosen to take this fall? (Literally asking, I don't know anything)
Near-fatal secondhand embarrassment?
I'm absolutely wheezing
Ahaha I love this moment for past you, just wait!
Do you ever feel like you've not been doing a great job of something?
Imagine being this person who claims to have used "grocer's quotes" in a legal filing. Feel better?
(they were fake quotes and it's a lie, but let's just pretend it's true for a minute because that's still PRETTY BAD MY GUY)
He doesn't have a whip but if he's successful on a Bite attack he has a chance at Rake
A black and white cat emerging from a dark blue tote bag with a glowering expression, left foot first in a way that reminded me of the famous painting He has yellow eyes and white whiskers and a little black nose and a white sock and big tall ears. He LOVES to be in a tote bag
Truth Emerging from [his] Well to Chastise Humankind
(for lack of treats)
Aw, our neighbours have one and it has a girlfriend (the electrical pole it's always snuggled up to no matter how much the they go out and try to fix it) Their love is pure
With a plot twist!!
cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

I know I'm prejudiced but I think I would rather they bought about 30 pianos than one precision strike missile (not disagreeing that OBVIOUSLY this guy is spending foolishly, he's never done anything any other way)
Yes, and even then you'd think they'd notice that isn't relevant to a war today in a direct, literal, 'read the manual' way. If they thought about how this situation reflects the past, it might lead them to explore another millennium or two of history. MFs really think knowledge peaked BCE.
That's a great question and I don't know the answer, but this seemed informative to me!
