a whole book a week is rigorous assuming you have a full course load. In my 3 courses (graduate classes) together I read about a hundred and fifty pages a week not even counting my thesis research which makes it more like around two fifty.
It’s so cool that nobody involved seems to be aware of how pathetic this is. “You have to actually read a whole book every week, show up to class, and can’t use Phone.”
they should offer two types of screenings for You Can See Everything: one for normal people and one for people who want to performatively laugh at everything that’s humorous or awkward
i need to stop using bro/dude/guy as default gender neutral terms, because otherwise it associates male with being the default gender and female with being the "other" gender. its really hard to remove them from my vocabulary, but im trying my best to stop using them
This is because Joanne has a shitty worldview. If you are a bully, you are irredeemably bad. She makes her bully characters out to be evil and comically pathetic. It's incredibly shallow as is most of Harry Potter, but she's a TERF so are you really surprised?
JK Rowling hated the cuts in the final movie that tried to give Draco a redemption because she didn’t want him to have one.
And while I like an irredeemable villain, Draco’s an instance of a character who benefits more from the redemption angle.
Writing Malfoy in a four player squad shows more weird quirks of Rowling's writing. You've got Harry (brave), Ron (hardworking), Hermione (clever), but all three are in Gryffindor? Convention would say reps from the 4 houses would team up.
ZUKO IS MALFOY DONE RIGHT
The big thing people need to keep in mind about Primetime is that CSA cases that TCAP is fighting the good fight over make up only 7% of the cases. But TCAP makes it out to be some massive epidemic and that feels counter intuitive to actually protecting kids.
@nnidinnidinnidi@diokami11@gaatled An unsuprising list but not in a bad way. All bangers with no real miss, though I'd say the Dark Knight is the weakest among them. High aura for Godfather 1 over 2. Unpretentious but clearly has taste. Solid 9 on 10.
