That would be ideal for fans but I guess Disney doesn't view that as profit maximizing?

To paraphrase the Beatles "they get high with a little help from their friends"

Stanford and Harvard both have all sorts of interesting lecture series online! Harvard has stuff like urban design, religious history, art history, the relationship between cooking and physics, biology, Chinese history and much more!

You are not reading what's being written.

And are one hundred percent taking the bait, like he expects you to. And to a casual American who remembers that 2016-2020 didn't result in extermination camps, ended with a transfer of power to a different political party and no invading sovereign nations, well, your claim makes you seem like an unreliable source of information.

Again, I think trump is dangerous to American democracy but you are helping his cause.

I've fallen out of star wars as the recent stuff has been mediocre (or Andor which was "quality television" but felt, to me out of place in a galaxy ruled by space wizards with laser swords) but damn, seeing that wolfman dude and the notion of Urkel... Well, I'm tempted!

Fair enough!

I'm still not sure I get this. Is it just odd for them to be looking at a hangnail?

I don't think he's a genius but knows one game very well, and it's treating the Left/media the same way I treated my younger sister when I was an asshole; wind her up, watch her melt down, over-react and get in trouble.

And we take the bait EVERY. GODDAMN. TIME.

He's not imitating Nazis by accident and he's not doing it because he's a Nazi. He's doing it because it makes us make ourselves look like hysterical children.

Edit: It's not 78D chess, it's the easiest game to play. Couldn't be much more simple as far as politics go.

That's an.... interesting opinion.

That's why we have to vote in primaries for non-evil.

But we get outvoted, badly, by senior citizens so old time politics reigns supreme.

Oh no, I get that. I think he's echoing that stuff intentionally but more to make us cry fascist etc. He loves our reaction to the dictator but only on day one schtick, his side sees it as a joke, we take it deadly serious and I worry median voters think "he was already president, we still have a democracy, these guys are over-reacting."

We can be simultaneously right AND lose the persuasion game. I'd rather win the persuasion game.m as that matters more than being right.

I think about Jan 6, with horrifies Democratic leaning folks but to a large swathe of the public, it doesn't seem to register as a concern compared to inflation etc.

Fair, I play more RPGs and whatnot where a knife takes 4 years to injure someone. (Though, a bad sword can take just as long because, I dunno, it's too dull to chop through this peasant's leather tunic? Goddamnit Ultima.)
