also lol forever at texans claiming that they aren't the south when they seceded from the north over slavery

when i lived in texas, sometimes when texans were talking about the slaveowner's revolt they would get upset at the other states, louisiana in particular, for surrendering too early

a lot of tv show heroes too. how many big crime shows have the older guy who always goes with his gut and breaks all the rules, is an expert on basically everything crime-y except for specialist forensics crap and those newfangled computers and phones that he just can't figure out, but that's okay because he has lazy millenial weirdos (who look up to him like a father) secluded in their own little labs that he can call up when he needs that poo poo figured out, except he didn't really need it because his gut has already deciphered every aspect of the case by the time those punk kids get back to him, and also he is literally always right about everything

now I'm envisioning a buffy remake centered around giles
