Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Our wings are not tired.

No one contentious will get through easily.

"Acting" appointments for all. It is the new normal, right?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Sigh...I am really tired of having to reset my password every time I come here.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

JZ, would she be willing to watch some of the hearings that have already been happening? Maybe watching multiple judges in multiple states tell the Trump campaign "Please stop wasting my time with this bullshit" would have more of an impact.

She's already said that she's disappointed, and that she won't be looking at the discussion for a while and "This post is mute"--I can't figure out whether she means "moot" or "muted," but in either case it looks like she's over the lip of the rabbit hole and tumbling down.

I posted a few links to summary reports from international election observers, but I suspect it won't help.

But, shit. I knew we nice white ladies were shady as a class, but somehow I'd imagined the LGBTQ artists among us would have dodged this particular bear trap of crazy. It's more contagious than Covid!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Man, at least the gay dude I know who voted for Trump is totally up front about it being all about taxes. He loves his money more than he loves human rights, for him or any of his LGBTQ friends.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Does he not get that after they take away all your human rights they can also take away all your money? Or concurrently, might be more how it usually goes, I guess.

So weird.

What is even happening?

LOOK, A DISTRACTION.

I interrupt this lovely discussion by you wonderful people, regarding terrible people with terrible opinions, to bring you the greatest media fannish crime against humanity, ever. Watch it. It is the worst thing you've ever seen and will change your life.

I WON'T WATCH THAT MESS AND YOU CAN'T MAKE ME

Also, thank you for that perfect homage to ita and her terrible links that made us all regret having been born with eyes.

Why was Sean Connery in there???

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Noooooooooope, not gonna look.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

JZ, I feel you. I'm sort of glad we haven't been able to see my inlaws much because they've become completely crazy Trumpers, and I just don't get it. My f-i-l is a wonderful father, a kind loving grandfather, and an intelligent man. I just don't get it.
