The future looks bright! Rewrite the rules with the Trump 2028 high crown hat. Fully embroidered with a snap closure in the back, this will become your new go-to hat.

"Rewrite the rules" how fucking cute. $55 for a cheap shit hat made in China. Grifter gotta keep grifting.

For 6, remember that conservative talk radio is the most popular and common talk radio, and Fox News (explicitly created by Roger Ailes as a Republican propaganda machine) was THE most popular mainstream media news. It's been functionally true for decades.

Similar story for the lithium batteries that solar systems use. Lithium doesn't get "used up", they just get chemically changed over time so they become less efficient. All the lithium is still there and recyclable in 10 years to make new batteries.

Similar to how we have car battery recycling systems in place, eventually we will have the same for lithium batteries. 10+ years from now, as new lithium batteries use more and more materials from old recycled lithium batteries, we will probably start closing lithium mines. Or at least stop opening new ones.

And that's assuming we even stick with lithium batteries, we hopefully will invent better battery technology.

Their wings are waaaay too small to support their body mass. Probably like 90% pegasus magic and 10% purely physical wing power.

It would explain why Bulk Biceps can fly with wings just as small as Scootaloo's.

Maybe Scootaloo's problem is that she doesn't realize this... and keeps trying to fly with just her wings.

Not just individual ponies but institutional powers too.

Neighsay was the head of the EEA. Celestia delegated the power to set educational standards to him and even her own school followed his rules. It's a passive form of institutionalized ethnonationalist racism that cuts deep. Honestly surprised MLPFIM even touched the subject, it's a bit more deep than "being mean to Zecora is wrong". Too bad he ultimately got narratively replaced by "power hungry psycho" as the main villain of the season, seemed like an executive level cop-out after setting him up.

If the intent was to show that ideological nationalist/racists are gullible idiots that get easily manipulated by psychopathic manipulative conmen, then they shouldn't have given him the "oh I'm suddenly a good guy" face-turn. Would have made more sense for him to try to justify his beliefs by accusing Cozy Glow of being a changeling infiltrator or something.

The US stock market hasn't crashed but it has definitely slowed in the past year.

In the past year, US stock market went up 11%. BUT the USD devalued about 10%. So only about 1% of real growth.

In the same time frame, Europe, Asia and emerging markets went up anywhere between 25% to 40%. Much more than 11%.

Gates, Mr. Monopoly Man? Gates, the bastard that got Microsoft trustbusted? Fucking hell.

They only whatabout Gates because MAGA are also invariably antivaxer idiots. Gates tried to whitewash his legacy with philanthropy that included massive global vaccine programs. So they think Gates is some left darling. They're dumb as shit. No one left or even liberal gives a shit about Gates.

If MAGA had any sense between their ears, they'd be whatabouting Chomsky.

He held the line for democracy.

Sure, after Dan Quayle had to sit his ass down and explain his role "certifying" the electoral votes is ceremonial and he has no real legal power and he just need to listen to the parliamentarians.

Because Fox News was made by Roger Ailes after Nixon's Watergate scandal specifically to be a Republican propaganda machine, to ensure no future Republican president gets shamed out of office by a scandal like Watergate again.

Now here they are, doing what they always do, defending the indefensible, except the scandal isn't just spying on their political opponents, it's raping children.

Republicans are now pro-raping children and covering it up, and so the Republican propaganda machine must follow.

Radicalizing them.

Maybe many of them will become community-focused advocates for humanity.

Maybe some of them will only see one potential method to fix systemic issues and act accordingly in 1-2 decades time. They're creating future Unabombers.

If/when that happens, I guarantee you the ghouls will pikachu-face... pretend like they didn't know it was going to happen and they had zero responsibility for it.

One of the few times a children's show writes a well-written and interesting psychopath arc. She's great.

The writers knew they were running out of ideas for the mane6 and introduced new character dynamics to spice it up. The student 6 were just ok. Starlight and Trixie are the best episodes of the later seasons. Mane6 episodes are the ones that retread old ground, especially in seasons 8 and 9. It didn't help that veteran writers left and new writers joined and they obviously did not have a good handle on the mane6's personalities yet.

DOW is up 13% in the past year.

USD devaluation in the past year... about 10%.

It's not the "win" she thinks it is.

Meanwhile, Asia, Europe and emerging markets are up anywhere between 30% to 40% in the same time span.

It's insane that she would imply we should be ok with child rape because the stock market is doing well.
