  • Bro season 2 is suuuuuuch a slog. I got into it for the mystery and esoteric horror imagery, and I understand that they were trying to emulate a soap opera for season 2, but it's just so long and uninteresting to me.

    It's been such a road block to getting to Firewalk With Me and The Return :/

  • I remember the exact episode that I noped out of forever with Supernatural: when they brought in Snookie as a cross road demon cameo. Literally stood up and left my mom to watch the rest without me lol. I had already thought it sucked for a while though, yeah. I can tolerate season six okay, but it was definitely a very noticeable quality drop.

  • Damn, I'm the complete opposite. The tightly knit and well-thought-out, dense story telling felt very compelling to me. It felt refreshing to see a show that trusted its audience to keep up with it instead of spoon feeding the information to you. Not many shows/movies do that nowadays.

  • Funny, the Talking Dead was a show that aired after that night's episode every week back in the day. It was actually a highlight for me; they'd have the actors and effects artists in to discuss behind the scenes stuff. It was very fun watching Greg Nicotero talk shop

  • I got a kobo recently and like it a lot. I got the sage because the screen is about the size of a manga page, which I knew I would be reading a lot of. I keep it in airplane mode most of the time and use Calibre to load it up. The system works well for me

  • Okay, but maybe specify that next time. The masses won't buy used stuff unless prompted, and a blanket statement of 'it's okay to like Harry Potter' without any nuance attached is just gonna give people permission to feel comfortable buying merch, games, Lego, other branded shit which goes directly to her pocket book.

  • But it isn't when it comes to Harry Potter. The reason I made the comparison is that JK Rowling is also a billionaire using her wealth to influence legislation against trans people. They are more similar than they are different. Buying Harry Potter stuff puts money directly into her pockets to further her TERF goals.

    Michael Jackson is a bit more gray.

  • Yeah, it makes me physically ill to imagine that for myself.

    I feel a bit more sympathy for Grimes than St. Clair since she seemed to actually want to be with this man, as a 'real' family at one point and seems to feel quite desperate about how her son is being manipulated now that that hasn't worked out. Was she being naive? Probably, but none of us can see the future. Much less imagine that someone we love enough to date and have kids with would do something so deranged as hold them hostage as meat shields.

    Anyone who volunteers after seeing how he treats his baby mamas and children, though? They get no sympathy from me, personally. Sorry for the kids, tho

  • Do you know that there's evidence supporting the idea that when you have a baby, that baby's DNA hangs out in your body for decades (if not forever, more studies needed on that point)? I wouldn't want any amount of Elon Musk's DNA just like...hanging out in me forever. Ew.

    Source: an excellent book called Matrescence by Lucy Jones. Came out in 2024 and does a great job of compiling lots of the latest research on pregnant bodies. It's amazing how much is still missing and we need to learn still about half the population of the world.

  • Easy to say when you've got no skin (or uterus) in the game. Just look at how Grimes and St. Clair and their children are being treated. Both women are terrible right wing scum and had it coming, but I wouldn't wish someone's family/babies being manipulated and kept from them by a guy with more money than god on anyone.

    Imagine your only recourse for restoring your parental rights being going to court against a guy who can afford to keep the cases going indefinitely. That is the stuff of nightmares.

    For the knitter girlies asking for alt/goth fashion content

    Found this channel that fills the goth-knitting void I didn't realize existed. Really like this and her part 2 video, very fun for adding to the ravelry favorites board.

    Someone in a different thread was asking for alt-fashion stuff, so I hope this helps a bit if you're a knitter or willing to learn! It's a great pass-time to keep your hands busy :)

    My son is due in a month or so, and I just finished the hat he'll wear home from the hospital!

    The pattern is this one! https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/baby-bear-hat-8

    I made some adjustments, like starting with 8 rows of ribbing, then doing two kfb increases in row 9, before doing the rest of the pattern as described. I also picked up 10 stitches instead of 8 for the the ears, because of personal preference.

    I was able to finish it in one evening, and I'm thinking of making another for his cousin that will be born just two months after him :)
