Did Disney Adventures even have the Simpsons at any point in its run? Like, didn’t Disney only get that show along with “Family Guy” and “Bob’s Burgers” in, like, 2019 or so?

…Weren’t these things like, super-expensive in the 1980s, though? I think it might actually have been a luxury to have a TV that even showed you what channel you were watching, let alone a VHS machine. Also, I think, if I remember correctly, having more than one console was a super-rich thing.

You know, Michelle Obama originally wanted to combat the unhealthy amount of chemicals in American children's food. It was never just about shaming fat people for... existing.
This should be the lead story in all major national news outlets. Public health people prefer to stay out of the limelight unless there is no other choice. I can’t overstate how bad things have to be for 9 former CDC directors to band together and pen an op-ed in the NYT warning the entire country.

Last time I checked, the UK doesn’t have China’s record of “Largest number of billionaires in the whole entirety of the world”. And Elizabeth II was flawed and human, but she never sank to XI Jinping’s levels of moral depravity in terms of horrors like the literal genocide against the Uyghurs…

The closest thing I can think of to there being a transphobic law in the UK is that one law from 2014 requiring trans people to present photos of their pre-transition selves to be allowed to vote in elections, but that’s just, like, the most common sense thing ever when you start to think about it.

YES. Vance is, in every conceivable way, the David Miscavige to Trump's L. Ron Hubbard. The analogy is so absolutely 100% perfect I can't believe I never saw it before.
Yes. For example, Scientology is a shadow of its former self in this day and age because David Miscavige is no L. Ron Hubbard
A Trump voter imprisons your neighbor it’s law and order. Kicks their gay kid out its religious conviction. Shoots you dead it’s self defense. Kidnaps you, it’s border security. Invades your town, it’s fighting crime. Tell them you don’t like them anymore, it was all just “political views.”

i think gen alpha will suffer the most from this administration if nothing else. it takes far more time to rebuild the sand castle than to knock it down
this country's political sphere is so dire that the only hope a lot of people have rn is that the purple thing on the president's knuckle is the ticket out 😭
A lot of ppl bring up “then you’ll have to deal with Vance” but Vance has the charisma of a soggy towel. I think the large cultish appearance of the GOP rn will go out when Trump does
