Will's interpretation of Tar is (I'm being charitable here) really, really loving stupid.

I do like the idea of the movie being a collapsing masturbatory fantasy like Mulholland Drive, though there isn’t a tremendous amount of textual support for it. I don’t know, I think people just struggle with how goofy that movie gets in the last act.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
I don't know, if you look at how fast powerful people deteriorate once blood is in the water it's not really that unrealistic

I do think his theory is nonsense but 'collapsing fantasy' is at least a little more interesting than the Ferris Bueller is Cameron's hallucination-rear end 'she hit her head and the entire ending is a dream' theories floating around

Tar is also a constructed persona requiring a lot of help that she never acknowledges but that all disappears when she gets canceled. Without all the people around her, she's a mess, and the signs of it are laid out well throughout the beginning of the film.

I hope Felix is right that the current GOP “going door-to-door screaming at people about bottom surgery” strategy is the massive liability he says it is because it seems like they’re going all in on it

That recent survey claiming that most people see “woke” as a positive rather than a slur is a hopeful sign

Well, give it time. Going all in on "groomers" and trans people didn't work this time, but if they keep pushing the point they might succeed in turning public opinion....maybe.

If they would have it would've already happened I think. They've been going in on it for awhile and barely took the House when they should've won it easily just based on the economy. And it's not like they're getting less weird about it.

I have a theory that all the groomer stuff is not really about elections. It's being driven top-down from people who want to make the lives of teachers, librarians, and, most importantly, administrators of schools and libraries hell so that those public institutions can be privatized.

I know a city manager of a small town and they had a shitshow when a gay librarian set up an LGBT display for Pride Month. And what do you know, the City Council went "gently caress this drama it's too much of a pain in the rear end to stick up for the library" and turned over management to a private company to get out of having to make decisions.

Who is he, Mr. Rand McNally?
I had I dream that mystery was me. Now who else could I be?
I dreamed I went to England and met the spice girls there for tea
They lost one more they're down from four to my favorite number three
But they're still quite spicy as the orange flavor
And oh so nice to do me the favor and lick my icing under the table now
But I gotta leave town mr. Nally, just as scary spice was about to go down on me
And don't ask how mr. Nally and give up the towel mr. Nally and run.
I dreamed I went to Singapore got bored and robbed a liquor store
What for? Nobody knows I only took a couple of Marlboros
Oh but that was all they needed and the criminal was soon defeated
And now in jail I'm waiting for my punishment of caining
So I gotta think fast mr nally watch your rear end, wake up and laugh and run
Better Mr run, mr rand, mr mac, mr nally
Mr run, mr man, you got the knack for the rally And run.
I had a chance to visit the north pole but it was way too cold to smoke
Oh my nose was freezing I should could use some coughing and wheezing
So I tried it anyway and the place went up in flames
How was I suppose to know you could catch fire to the snow
Oh lord way to go mr nally, way to go, now you're melting the poles mr nally so run.
I jumped ship in NYC and headed south to Washington DC
Didn't think I'd go there but played some shows there fancy lucky me
But it is really slow there with our new president on TV
Too many politicians and liberal Christians they're all set out for me
Singing cast your vote mr nally, castrate your vote, no you don't, just run
I thumbed a ride across the prairie, I got hitched in Vegas, yep, I got married
To a lady who loved me she thought it's be funny to gamble all my money
And I got stranded without my clothes, a little bit of fear and loathing heart attack
I got chased by the rat pack once in a flashback. Singing viva Las Vegas.
I settled down in San Diego and smoked a joint with java joe
And with a grin he took me in spilling coffee on his chin
And I played my show there and I met my bros there
And with my throw pillow they kindly let me make my bed there
There's one more thing before I go there's never been any place like this home

But advocates say testing on animals with brains similar to humans is necessary to help the people affected. The fact that DoD is conducting this research indicates that officials already have “extremely solid science,” including computational modeling, backing up the theory that radio frequency exposure could be behind the Havana Syndrome, said the former intelligence official.

“You don’t get approval for animal testing unless the science is there. … You’ve already proven out that the science is correct and exists, and now you are looking at the biological impacts that can’t be modeled and you need a specimen to determine what it does biologically,” the former official said.

Your science is bullshit, leave the ferrets alone.
