That old man stole my pizza. I owe you a debt.

There's a bit of a glut of genre shows right now after Agatha and Penguin wrapped, so I'll probably watch this regardless. It's just a bonus if by chance it's actually good.

It's a matter of quality of life. If someone without conventional hearing can have the same quality of life through other means, then there is no need to "fix" them, unless that's what they want.

Obviously debilitating illnesses and pain are still dealt with, but stuff like missing limbs or other traits that we might call handicaps are not the same impediment in the future as they are to us, because there are so many possible paths for every individual to choose, and many of those might even be better suited to someone with a unique physiology.

Well that's pretty rude. Kathy Bates is an attractive person and doesn't deserve this kind of slander.

Technically it was a train, and they were experiencing a transcendent connection across time with their older selves, in a deliberately unsettling and transgressive scene meant to evoke the rawness of adolescence being laid bare before the worst cosmic horror -- an eldritch carrion-eater who feeds on destroying the souls of children -- as a way of reclaiming strength from vulnerability. At any rate, depiction is not endorsement.

But yes, considering how many actual adults misinterpret and mischaracterize that scene, I don't recommend that particular book to children -- not because they'll be damaged by it, but because they won't have the wisdom of age to understand it.

If you use language like "beta" unironically, you may already be a beta.

It always staggers me when I remember that for roughly sixty million years during the Carboniferous Period, there were trees but no microorganisms capable of decomposing them.

Just sixty million years of branches falling off and trees falling down and... just sitting there on the ground, not rotting at all.

The truth is he can't control what pops out of his mouth and he knows that.

Untreated mental illness supplemented by fame-induced yes-men syndrome.

What he needs is a good slap and a kick to the groin.

What do you want to bet that the code for "female students" is at least three times as long and contains the words "leg skin"?

Groomers hate sex ed, because it eliminates the ignorance they need to exploit in order to lure in their victims.

If kids don't know they're being abused, they can't tell on their abusers. Gotta ask why the right wing is so vehemently against empowering children.

Bringing up AOC every time Boebert shits the bed is unfair and degrading to AOC.
