Can’t talk about controversial TV endings without mentioning St. Elsewhere. For a long time this show had the most infamous. The big reveal that the entire run of the show took place in the mind of an autistic boy with a snow globe was not a hit with fans and remains an object lesson in how to rug-pull your fan base.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•So how do you feel about the whole Charlie Kirk divide?English
0·2 months agoNormally, I’d agree with your dad. And I mostly still do. I’m not quite sure how this stacks up against previous crises. I have no doubt, for example, the Cuban Missile Crisis was pants-shittingly terrifying. But we don’t have firm hands on the rudders here to steer us back from the brink of madness.
We’ve discarded the Constitution. We’re disregarding rule of law. We’ll survive, in all likelihood, persevere, in some fashion. What I’m afraid of is what we lose - who we lose - in this nightmare timeline.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•So how do you feel about the whole Charlie Kirk divide?English
0·2 months agoI won’t miss Charlie Kirk. I’m sad for the people who were there and witnessed a horrific public murder. I am exhausted and numbed to all this gun violence and I’m especially tired of the right wing bullshit about gun rights. I’m confounded and baffled by the bizarre depths of alt-right internet subculture. I’m profoundly disappointed and disillusioned by the state of the United States, but neither am I the least bit shocked. I fear for the deeper divide the next generation faces as fanatical parents drive their children to extremism as others quietly steer theirs towards acceptance, empathy, and inclusiveness.
Charlie Kirk was objectively a garbage human being. I will not mourn him. But nobody should be fucking murdered. The violence and hatred coming from the right is fucking insane and intolerable. We’re being led by sycophants, liars, sociopaths, and incompetent grifters hell bent on upending the entire structure of our ordered existence so they can rebuild it into something nightmarish and dystopian. We’re in the endgame now. The Democrats do not have a time machine.

0·2 months agoOf course he does. Pile the sins upon the scape goat before you exile it from the village.
All he wants is for his people to do some revenge for him against those who reject him. So yeah he’ll stoke that flame.

News@lemmy.world•“THIS IS WAR”: Some right-wing figures call for retribution following Kirk killingEnglish
0·2 months agoWe are already living under a vengeful president’s regime. America rejected him once, and he never stopped bitching about it. But you don’t get to reject a narcissist. So he’s taking it out on the people that did so.
All this killing does is give his sycophants a little more fuel on the bonfire of fear they’ve been stoking since 9/11. Who are they declaring war on? We don’t even know who did this. It’s always a fucking war with these whiny piss baby conservatives. It changes nothing.
Reagan declared war on America forty-five fucking years ago.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you comsume any tobacco products (e.g. "smoking") or alcoholic beverages? Why or why not?English
0·3 months agoI don’t smoke, can’t stand the smell. I did try when I was a lad, it didn’t take. I even tried clove cigs for a bit.
Took me a lot longer with alcohol. Family history and trauma put me off trying until much later in life. But I’ve since developed a particular taste for red ales, rich bold stout, fruity cocktails, hard ciders, and a number of complex spirits.
I had to shed that restrictive upbringing and get more in touch with my own tastes, which turned out to be surprisingly broad and nuanced.
