I'm the king of the pessimists. But I like to take five seconds when there's actually good news instead of constantly being the "well actually" guy. Then I return to my regularly scheduled "realism".

Not in denial about anything at all. It's just a miserable life to never take pleasure in the little wins.

Edited to add - I don't know if you know your literary history. But the irony in accusing someone called "Hemingway's Shotgun" of having rose-tinted glasses is absolutely delicious.

Fair enough. But the world being what it is, can't we just celebrate a win for a few precious minutes before we shit all over it?

MAGA is pretty much entirely a cult of personality. Take out the Jim Jones, and they tend to go back into hiding. That's the only hopeful part of all of this is that when Trump finally dies (by any means necessary), I'd bet everything that MAGA goes with him. Or at least as a political force. Hillibillies are still gonna hillbilly, but without Trump to embolden them, they'll go back to ranting about 'libs after finishing up fucking their cousins and nothing more.

I don't disagree. But despite my best efforts, I have friends who insist on sharing crap from there with me and while I used to be able to view in browser without having an account or logging in, they changed it so that to watch something someone shared, it just pops up a "view on the app" message.

TikTok is only bearable if you set it to open muted by default.

Traitors, traitors everywhere and not a noose in sight...

I'm sure that's what his handlers tell him while they're changing his diaper.

TV shows were mostly terrible.

Ummm....excuse me?! You had me until that point. Then you lost me.

Modern TVs fascination with having a whole "season long" episode that requires viewing all in a row is not better.

I would rather, and usually do, select a random episode of TNG, Quantum Leap, A-Team, Simon and Simon, X-Files, etc... where they have an hour long adventure, then have a new one the next week. You don't need to worry about binge watching to "catch up"; just any random episode is a self contained story that you can enjoy and then get out. And sometimes the occasional two-parter.

From what I understand, Musk was under investigation from multiple federal US agencies for malfeasance, I don’t know for what

I'll give you a hint. It starts with "e" and rhymes with "Epstein didn't kill himself"...

Has she maybe considered the fact that he just doesn't like traitors and it has nothing to do with her sex?

Wait...fucking MILHOUSE is criticising someone's hair?

Running out of ideas, Poppinfresh?

I'm surprised it hasn't been taken care of already.
