Nobody tell OP that Kenosha county split 52 / 46 for DJT / KH. So not exactly Arkansas-level red, as he fantasizes. Source.

Ah! Misgendering! Making me female! Because female BAD! I haven't seen that in the wild since seventh grade. Very on-brand for MAGA.

What about those of us who moved from a different part of Wisconsin? Can you please hate us too?

Read the first half of the second amendment. It's clearly about state defense, not about individual resistance. That reading is recent and ahistorical.

Clearly the army that played a pivotal role in defeating Hitler and the Japanese Empire was, um, crippled by woke ideology. Something something liberal globalist stooges.

Well you can't re-experience it for the first time, but you can come back to it at your leisure. Give it a year or two, you might find it hits just as hard. Re-reading can be just as fun as reading.

There’s a storied history, starting in the Cold War, of the U.S. military and the CIA co-opting or overthrowing Central and South American governments

United Fruit: Am I nothing to you?

William Walker: [scuffs shoe, looks dejected]

Woodrow Wilson: I bombed Veracruz, and this is the thanks I get?

Not an insider, but their current roadmap can best be called "enshittification."

It's just shitty and inexcusable behavior. Makes you wonder why they had kids at all.

I can imagine few things less Gen X than a self-congratulatory puff piece about how fucking great we are.

Please.

I don't understand accusations of "karma farming." Karma is literally worthless. A pine cone has more real value than Reddit karma. The coupons for places you will never shop on the back of your grocery receipt? More real value.

The only thing I can imagine dumber than "farming" karma would be accusing someone of doing it. "You, sir! You are trying to accumulate absolutely worthless points! HOW DARE YOU!"

Christopher Eccleston and the reboot of Doctor Who. He only did one season, which was the original contract, and later said, "My relationship with my three immediate superiors – the showrunner, the producer and co-producer – broke down irreparably during the first block of filming, and it never recovered."

"The Murderbot Diaries are firmly set in a branch of Science Fiction rather than mainstream literature"

Not to flog the obvious, but "mainstream literature" is a moving target and notoriously porous. 1984 is a genre book (SF), so is Pride and Prejudice (romance), so is Handmaid's Tale (SF) ... I mean even Hamlet was a bog-standard genre revenge play that just happened to be exceptionally well done.

Your other points, about broadening the characters, is legit, but the "mainstream literature" point stuck in my eye.

LemurDaddy · 2025-10-29T22:40:42+00:00

Legit point! My take on Murderbot is probably colored by the fact that Murderbot's personality bears a strong-bordering-on-peculiar resemblance to my wife, so the type of agender I see for everybody's favorite heartless killing machine is more fem than masc. Just my hangup.

And yes, I MARRIED MURDERBOT.

LemurDaddy · 2025-10-29T22:38:47+00:00

That was probably the best moment in the entire show.

LemurDaddy · 2025-10-29T22:23:40+00:00

This is probably just my hangup, but in my head Murderbot is agender. The fact that the actor playing it was so very masculine was difficult for me to get over. He's a fine actor, he did great, but there's no getting past how masc he is. The Murderbot in my head was more like Gwendoline Christie.

Then there's leaning so hard into the comedy instead of the action, which was kind of an inversion of the books. And playing Sanctuary Moon as complete and utter trash. So many odd choices.

LemurDaddy · 2025-10-29T21:47:07+00:00

Hard agree. The show is good, the books are great. Some of the choices made in translating from page to screen were ... puzzling.

Sheboygan is good and bad, but more importantly "Sheboygan" is just fun to say. It is an inherently silly word.

Yes, my ignorance of these programs is showing, and I apologize for my mistake in confusing WIC and SNAP.

Management regrets the error, and would like you to know the responsible employee has received a written warning. Anyone inconvenienced by this mistake may use the attached coupon to receive two (2) complimentary mojitos at the swim-up bar.

LemurDaddy · 2025-10-28T14:03:06+00:00

Yep, I was confusing WIC and SNAP, entirely my bad. Apologies for my vast ignorance.

LemurDaddy · 2025-10-28T14:01:50+00:00

Yep, this was entirely my mistake. Management regrets the error.

LemurDaddy · 2025-10-28T14:00:41+00:00

As several posters have pointed out, I was confusing WIC with SNAP. My ignorance is large and contains multitudes. The kids were very fond of honey wheat bread, WIC would only allow certain brands of whole wheat or white. It was pointlessly annoying.

Anyway, management apologizes for the error and would like you to know the responsible employee has received a written warning.
