Did Heated Rivalry make you believe in love again?
Scott and Kip did. I liked Heated Rivalry. I think there are interesting features in the dynamic between the two main characters (e.g., Shane's autism for instance). However, there have been many more interesting and compelling examples of MLM relationships on screen in recent years, a couple of examples include Nick/Charlie from Heartstopper and Bill/Frank from The Last of Us.

P!nk breaks her silence about Palestine once again
Given her history of touting progressive values, it is so pathetic and disappointing to see her unable to acknowledge the horrors happening in Gaza and defend oppressive force that is actively slaughtering the Palestinian people—while she wrote an entire song calling out George Bush for invading Iraq.

The current "supportive" culture gives people an inflated sense of self
I've thought about a matter that is somewhat related to this. For instance, I've always despised the phrase, "She's still beautiful on the inside." I really only hear this said about women. It is as if a woman can have no value unless she is "beautiful" in some way. Her value cannot come from her confidence, her intelligence, her endurance, her humor, her gumption, her suave, etc. We're able to describe the value of men with a more diverse vocabulary; but, women must always be "beautiful" to some extent, if not on the outside then on the "inside". Social media obviously only worsened this because people chase validation. But, men do this too (e.g., gym selfies).

Thoughts on Lorde's Solar Power today?
More or less the same as I felt about it when it came out. It’s a disappointment compared to Melodrama. It’s still her worst album. However, there are some fantastic songs on it and it has its place (e.g., genuinely works amazingly for a chill beach day if you live near the beach).

2026 US Midterms Megathread 🇺🇸 Dem Primaries: GA & SD (7/28), MI (8/04)
This should have been obvious. Honestly, for Democrats to secure a meaningful majority (based on what we know now), they have always needed to assume Fetterman was going to switch parties because he is truly a Democrat in registration only. Any decisive vote will have him flip to line up with the Republicans, giving them the majority, even if the Democrats technically have a 51-49 majority.

Should we introduce the death penalty for homophobic speech and acts?
Of course you did.
-
Are you for or against the death penalty?
I don’t support it in any scenario. Even for the most cartoonish example of an evil person (e.g., a mass murderer, a serial rapist), they should just stay in prison for life. Once you start saying “yes” to whether the government should be allowed to murder people, you are extending a power no organized group should have. Just let them sit in prison (this is also cheaper!).

Should we introduce the death penalty for homophobic speech and acts?
No. I don’t support the death penalty at all. No government should have a “right” to kill people.

What’s scarier is she stayed at the same inn as me and my dad. I swear that woman will forever haunt me even though I don’t live in KY anymore.

You could be right. Though, I hope you're not! Hopefully the chaotic pulse and rhythm of our news cycle makes Platner fade from public memory. However, Leftists that did relentlessly prop him up and decried any criticism of him learn from Platner.

I agree with all your points in that it all boils down to multiple flavors of identity politics; it's just really difficult to witness time and time again. But, oh well. The Left may need to engage in more carpetbagging at this point and run talented candidates in states even if they are not from there—so long as the infrastructure is in place to support a talented candidate.

This was a great line of questioning on Scahill's part. There is nothing coherent about liberal Zionism when it is challenged with any amount of honesty.

It's baffling to see this race unfold because Haley Stevens is just flat out uncomfortable to even listen to. She has terrible policies, she—bluntly—does not look good on camera, and she is so unsettling to listen to. I cannot fathom why voters would go to her at all beyond identity politics.

ATRL, do you stan a billionaire?
I don't really stan people. The only artist I really stanned was Kelly Clarkson and she's a retired talk show host that occasionally releases music—also not a billionaire.
