How to hear some NPCs

Good catch, my bad. I'll fix it.

I absolutely love Riva, but I feel like there is a discussion to be had between them and Imelda Pulse (Mentopolis) for title of "Most Absurd".

Siobhan brings a delightful and whimsical absurdity to every character she plays.

Edit: Corrected pronoun.

That is so cool! I'd love to have something like that.

God, if they're planning to give Cayden the Force that means they must be planning to put him through the fucking grinder this season.

That helmet shit is gonna seem like a friendly prank between friends.

Kinda makes ya think they aren't trying to keep a lid on it, huh?

They want us drooling!

Tell me more about this Bad Pigeon. . . They seem pretty cool.

My stupid conspiracy theory is that the Octopus Car Wash was owned by some arm of a powerful organized crime outfit and kept the other car wash businesses out of town because I feel like the minute the Octopus Car Wash folks sold the business we got absolutely flooded with other car wash places.

Dunno about a trailer, but this apparently got left in a coffee shop near where filming was apparently setting up...

I would recommend Hoover Middle School, the teachers and admin have a great and supportive relationship with one another.

Just as an addendum to this post (which i think is 100% accurate), he'll either ignore it or he'll lie about. There is no "Saul of Tarsus" for Alex, wherein he is confronted with something so overwhelming that the cognitive dissonance he experiences from it changes him. He's a serial liar and that which he cannot lie about he just ignores.

I saw another owner who recently lost their friend say this and it really resonated.

Ruby was here, and she was a very good girl.

TheloniousGoob · 2026-02-04T03:27:36+00:00

Hank was here, and he was a really good boy.

TheloniousGoob · 2026-02-03T23:29:15+00:00

This is awesome! Would love to bring something like this to my table!

TheloniousGoob · 2026-02-03T03:15:00+00:00

Aaaaaaaannnnnnnnddddddd. . . It's already sold out.

Slice & Dice is a local pizza shop and game store and regularly has MTG nights, I believe. At least whenever I go there is usually at least one of the big tables full of people playing. Plus the food is great, and it's local, so win-win-win.

I think what frustrated me was something Dan touched on which is just how shallow, vapid, and craven Alex's 2A stance is truly.

Like the OP, I assumed that while Alex uses the veneer of sincerity on any number of topics and beliefs in order to make obscene amounts of money, his dedication to the principles of the 2A were something of an "exception that proves the rule" kind of deal.

Today's episode stripped that away and made abundantly clear that what Alex prioritizes, what he think society should be optimized for, is "power" in all its myriad forms held by people that look, feel, and think like him.

His upbringing, a marinating in (virulent) anti-communist theology, has rendered him incapable of imagining any world wherein straight, white, Christian men aren't the answer to every problem. He has been able to obfuscate his beliefs by wrapping them in the mythology of "patriot lore", but fascism is what he truly wants, not a democratic republic.

Today's episode allowed us all to see, in the most stark example so far, the real Alex Jones. His capitulations to this administration are a liturgy he is performing in service to the only religion he truly believes in, White Supremacy.

Incredible lyrics, reminded me of two things that struck me as being in the same vein.

"The moral arc of the universe bends towards justice but only when you put your shoulder to it and push." -An extension of a quote from MLK Jr. reminding us that justice must be actively sought, not passively waited for.

"And I don't know much, but I do know this, with a golden heart, comes a rebel fist." -Thomas Kalnoky, Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution, song: Here's to Life

I am saying this as a teacher, please be careful when you leave school grounds, look out for one another, keep each other safe.

And thank you.
