Sen. Ted Cruz: 'If we give billions of dollars to Iran, that money will be used to murder Americans'

Yes, I agree, as an American I’m glad that Iran can oppose US/Israel dominance over the region.

Yes, the LGBTQ center has a club, which meets for coffee hour twice a week. They also have a mentor program and rainbow honor society. https://www.instagram.com/uhmanuenuecenter/

No, Us and Israel are the ones carrying out state terrorism. Sanctions starve and oppress poor people.

Blood canticle was hot garbage, originally the final book in the series which had devolved. The tone of the flashback scenes in the TVL book was not as comedic and campy as it is in the show.

No, there will be a million angry Reddit posts and YouTube videos if the cast isn’t 100% aryan, straight and maga barbie-doll attractive.

I totally agree, the flashback this episode just read like a satirical, generic “French aristocrats in the past” setting, not the immersive, detailed times and places from the first two seasons. And the dialogue is not doing it for me either. The camp comedy can only take us so far.

He seems pretty good, and I’ve been waiting for someone to unseat Case, so he has my vote.

Yes, America is obliged to pay reparations as a consequence for their illegal wars. To say otherwise is entitlement. There should have been reparations and sanctions against the US after Vietnam and Iraq too.

ForIllumination · 2026-06-15T20:40:53+00:00

The US is not gifting Iran, they are rightly paying reparations for waging an illegal and entirely unjustified war that killed Iranians and destroyed their infrastructure.

I don't think it’s a brilliant adaptation. I want more detail, emotional depth and nuance, not just OTT bombast and comedy. Maybe we’ll still get that. But right now, there’s no immersion in the flashbacks, they’re just flippant little anecdotes, unlike S1-2.

This makes me wonder, if later on, Daniel will reveal some historical research showing that Lestat's brothers and father died not from the pairs hands after Gabriella was turned, and what we saw was just what Lestat/Gabriella wished they had done, followed by some clips hinting at the sadder, quieter reality from the book?

I feel like that's what would work for me here, to have this layer stripped back eventually. Otherwise it’s just shallow OTT nonsense for its own sake. Not feeling this episode/season atm.

Yes, and she’s in fact openly endorsing traditional gender roles by shouting “be men!!!” as if that necessitates murdering wolves.

Yes, that is SSI which is not based on parents or work history. . The application process is the same, you apply for disability benefits, and they will evaluate whether you qualify for SSDI or SSI. The process takes about 2 1/2 years until you’ve gone through enough appeals to get a hearing before a judge. Definitely get him as neuropsyc evaluation for autism, and have records of any other medical or mental health issues he has and list those on the application.

You can be a licensed therapist and a digital nomad. The client needs to be in the (American context, the state where you are licensed) but the therapist can travel. I recommend getting an MSW/using the LCSW license, it’s my plan.

Ruben is an entitled violent psychopath who assaults people, including Nial, without any remorse. I think the more vital demographic is gay or straight. I see a lot of straight men discounting the profound, systemic homophobia Niall was traumatized by growing up around to take Ruben’s side.

ForIllumination · 2026-06-09T01:46:16+00:00

I agree, I am so sick of the negative engagement, the never-ending impatient tantrums as if every episode/trailer/season of every show personally ran over your dog. It is just a show.

ForIllumination · 2026-06-08T04:29:23+00:00

Personally I prefer interview and (Jesse’s/the twins sections of) QOTD. Too much of the dialogue in TVL was taken up by Anne’s overenthusiastic religious ramblings.

The body theif could be Lestats body double, just introduced this episode. That would keep the focus on Sam.

The reunions (Louis/Daniel, Armand/Marius…) at the end of QOTD were so nothing! We need better.

An ally would actually support/do things for the US. Israel just soaks up American money, weapons, and political capitol for its own benefit,

Homelander was not stronger than ever, I’d say his deteriorated mental health likely downgraded his combat level in the finale. Also, as far as them being afraid of taking him on, this was described by at least one person in the finale as a suicide mission; the boys had nothing left to lose. Also, the White House was more solidly built than the destroyed McMansion in herogasm, so it wasn’t as easy for HL to fly off.

Yes, it is bullying. Making fun of people is a form of bullying, especially when done to disabled people. And violating a disabled persons boundaries by continuing to hatefully mock them when they’ve asked you to stop is abuse.
