I try to understand the other side, but I am not the other side, and I will fight you both with compassion.

@AustinBigWig @krassenstein I went to that smelly website for you. Hope you reflect and feel better. https://t.co/xwbGjeGpeJ

@AustinBigWig @krassenstein Speaking of discernment, what is it about this post that makes you so sure it’s a “complete lie?”

@Andrewnsnyder Moana and Zootopia are both great. Moana 2 is not, but Zootopia 2 is fine. Encanto is lovely without 100% sticking the landing. I love that it attempts a large somewhat rounded cast and visual expression like Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast.

@Dilekk344 It doesn’t matter, but that’s not avoiding the question, just to be transparent. Hope that illuminates.

@BillWiIdin It wouldn’t surprise me if brick-and-mortar stores eventually become more like banks: products behind glass, inventory in a vault, and we just order through an app. Not endorsing it, but the incentives are obvious: lower labor costs and less shrink.

@PastorTrey05 What fascinates me is the consistency: aesthetically aggressive kitsch, addressing superficial concerns as a proxy for foundational work, damn the process, blame anyone who paid attention.

@2BadAboutIt7 At 9 sec, I thought Tim Curry. 20 seconds, when the hair started, I realized it was MJ.

@SidnelsonEu My refrigerator spits out ice cubes without my hands getting frostbite.

@paulovjcastilho @SidnelsonEu Read books from the 30’s instead of looking at pictures.

@L2_B2 This looks fine.

@krassenstein Should have used Brando.

@ThrillaRilla369 An addictive device that allows me to talk to strangers while on the toilet and then confer with a language calculator if I did a good job.

@screenisemovie Christopher Walken. The perfect balance of unease and nerve.

@murphallo It’s one of the least important movies of the year which is what I like about it. And it doesn’t look cheap. It does toss in some mild gender studies if you’re allergic.

@beneddicted_ The answer sure isn’t it in the comments.

@fiercepatricks It’s harder to find a good venue and the cakes are gone.

@jas_d_barbie What is rent were attached to some other economic metric?

@pemigewassetSun @DrFattyMcButter @DistractedAnna The end result is the same low grade disgust though.

@jess_ann_pin “Retard” was still live when we were kids, and we used it with mockery that included things like flailing arms and exaggerated faces. The ‘not smart’ was just half of it. It was the physical mimicry, the performance of otherness. That’s the cruelty.

[Luke Siler @artflunky]

@jess_ann_pin From my generation, it carried both limited cognitive capacity and a physical/developmental association. We’d never seen someone formally labeled a “moron” or “imbecile” because those terms had already been retired to reduce stigma.
