@pegobry_en Disagree. JD lacks charisma and authenticity, similar to Hillary Clinton. Rubio easily beats JD on the โwho would you rather have a beer withโ question. Of course, if the Democrats are foolish enough to run a hard left/DSA candidate in 2028, JD wins.
A lot of well-meaning people watched this clip and wondered โWhy didnโt Vance Ben Shapiro-style own him with facts and logicโ
Because thatโs not the game.
This TV program is meant to frame JD as an enemy and adversary in front of an audience still unfamiliar with him. Bill started the convo with โWell if socialists are in power I guess youโll be an optionโ and then shifted to โYOUโRE A BIG EVIL MEAN MAN FOR DOING A HECKING DEPORTATIONโ
Becoming an argumentative blood sports character in this moment isnโt what gets the disoriented 40 year old suburban soccer mom to vote for you. Itโs defusing the whole situation, which is what Vance did.
Vance walked into a bomb site and dismantled every line of attack against him with grace and elegance. He made it impossible to be portrayed as an enemy. And he packaged all of our desires in a digestible form factor. Many will be upset it didnโt sound as based as what WE want him to say, but JD has shown he will say everything we want him to ***when heโs talking to us***
TL;DR This show wasnโt for you. This show was for gaining ground on JDโs obvious widespread appeal, and while it is a totally different media strategy from Trump it is capable of capturing the country to our cause in an entirely new way.
Just give it time, give it room to breathe. JD is our guy and you wonโt struggle with that if you allow him to say different things to different audiences (the job of a politician)
The irony here it's that people think that the inconvenience of waiting for someone for two hours is worse that the extra effort that a neurodivergent goes through in order to deal with their disorder.
An interesting thing Iโve been thinking about in regards to early Pixar is that a lot of their primary protagonists are parents, or parental figures (Toy Story is arguable but 2 and 3 play into this angle a lot more) something that feels very rare in animated kidโs films
@TheLastNeocon Foreign work visas are a government subsidy for businesses. Businesses do not have a "right" to globalize the job market and depress American's wages, sorry.
You know sometimes I think Iโm an anxious person, but then I encounter the headspace of an actual anxious person and I feel so light, free and empty headed by comparison
I cannot stand being told to "eat intuitively"
That's the kind of thing that works if you're ALREADY skinny, it's insane to suggest to anyone fighting their weight
@nonabassh@postmanShmerg Well, abortion apologists argue that a fetus is not a person but a clump of cells. You can't r*pe a clump of cells anymore than you can r*pe a fruit or a basketball. So either it's a person or it's not.
Thinking about how a Brad Bird *also* made personal projects about his experience as an artist it just happened to be 10x better than anything made today. And the main character was a rat.
CalArts hacks are just not talented enough to be making movies tbh
I thought Spiderverse looked cool when it came out but I have to say after like a decade of hybrid animation, it's just a trend. It is not an objective improvement/evolution upon 3-D animation whatsoever. I love this more cinematic, pared-back look.
New look at โRAY GUNNโ, directed by Brad Bird (โThe Incrediblesโ)
The film follows a private inspector drawn into a case involving aliens & murder all in the alternate futuristic city Metropia.
Releasing December 18 on Netflix.
Probably my hottest YIMBY take is that mobile homes would be a great asset in the modern housing crisis if only there weren't so much stigma around them
Honestly, they're what everyone wants to build. Hear me out: ๐งต
