Thank you for the link! That was deeply satisfying to watch. The camera quality is so good.

I’m a Virgo and now I feel depressed. :(

Math or history didn’t bother you? The last time you had a class called “Science” was probably the same as the last time you had a class called “Math” and a class called “History”: elementary or junior high.

They’re being used as general subject terms…

Probably also the country of Ukraine, our ally that was invaded by Russia.

China was first. This is from March: https://www.reuters.com/world/china/time-money-love-china-brainstorms-ways-boost-birth-rate-2023-03-15/

That’s exactly what popped into my head when I read the headline. Lol

You’re right; he didn’t specifically say that. He called a Twitter post that said Jewish people hate white people was “so right.” And that’s a big Neonazi thing.

So… he didn’t say Hitler was right, just that a major Nazi tenet is.

That’s so easy to go back on. Like the promise to not nominate Supreme Court Justices right before a presidential election. I would be deeply disappointed if any Democrats believed any promises from Republicans.

Kinda fine so far? As of a couple of weeks ago, he still hadn’t paid a dime to any of the Sandy Hook families because he declared bankruptcy. He’s still spending a bunch of money and still doing Info Wars. It’ll probably catch up to him eventually? I hope? https://apnews.com/article/alex-jones-sandy-hook-shooting-bankruptcy-34192bd7d89ed786f64580682f6ea89e

Yeah kinda. You can see her hands in his crotch, although they seem to be over his pants instead of inside then, and he’s very handsy with her chichis. https://www.mediaite.com/politics/lauren-boebert-caught-on-cctv-seeming-getting-extremely-handsy-with-man-at-beetlejuice-performance-she-was-booted-from/

You have to be joking. No one could possibly spin this as legit. From the article:

Tuberville began his blockade in April in protest of a Pentagon abortion policy enacted late last year. The policy, which covers travel expenses for abortion care, hit the six-month mark earlier this week.

Thank you!! I had never seen that!

You just convinced me that I do NOT want to watch it. I can’t handle that type of stuff, but I love sci-fi, so I was considering it. Thank you!!!

I’m so sad he died. I want to see more of Alan Rickman forever.

I try not to do this, but here’s a reddit comment from 6 years ago that breaks down the voting records between Democrats and Republicans on major legislation.

bOtH sIdEs arguments are fucking insane.

So you support how Republicans are voting then? They’re historically great with collective bargaining agreements. 🙄

because the DNC can’t put forward a decent candidate

Hold up. You think either party would endorse someone other than their own incumbent president?? That’s insane. If you don’t vote, you’re okay with throwing it to the Republican candidate?

Do you know how Republicans feel about the rail workers strike? How about my right to healthcare as a woman? Or the insane environmental policy they just came up with? The constant attacks on schools, libraries, and LGBTQ+ people?

There are so many more things I could list out. Cutting Medicare and social safety nets, slashing taxes for the rich, defunding the IRS, privatizing the internet, etc etc etc. Deciding not to vote because of the rail workers strike is INSANE. Was I happy about it? No. I’m still angry. But holy fuck there’s so much going on. I can’t possibly understand how you could ignore all the rest because of that. I also hate the DNC. I hated them in 2016, and I will hate them forever. But I guess I’m not selfish enough to throw a tantrum and withhold voting when it matters. And it DOES matter.

That line literally made my jaw drop because I had just been thinking, “Wow this is still kinda messed up. I thought their society would end up much more equal” and then BAM! that line hits. That movie was so good. I’ve been trying to get everyone I know to see it.

Is your library genrefied?? But yeah it may just be an oversight on whoever orders books because they aren’t familiar with the genre, and people who want to read scifi probably aren’t requesting. I have to watch for that on biographies when I’m ordering because I don’t personally read them, so I’m not as focused on buying new ones. For us, the most popular scifi books are also dystopian, but the hard scifi doesn’t get any circulation.

Andy Weir is doing great things for the genre right now, which I think will help in the future! He writes in a very accessible, conversational, fun way that is engaging the general population with scifi. People who saw The Martian are reading Project Hail Mary and loving it! I’m excited to see what happens next!

Edit: I realized you may be talking about book store shelves instead. 🤦‍♀️
