Anyone else remember the Galaxy of Fear books? They were an attempt to cash in on Goosebumps' popularity in the 90s with YA horror set in the Star Wars universe.
Beyond the cynical cash-grab concept, they were kinda messed up. They are about these two kids who are refugees from Alderaan. Their planet literally blew up and everywhere they go they find like zombies or mind-controlling space slugs and they never know peace.

Okay original game source material but you cant say a space ship factory prides itself on its high ethics and then make one of their biggest customers literal open fascists. Unless you're doing a bit about corporate complacency but none of your other material shows that.

Vote against the fascist candidate next year. "But both candidates are-" No. We are fighting for our lives. VOTE AGAINST THE FASCIST CANDIDATE NEXT YEAR. #USpol

I have two German shepherds named Rolex and Timex.
They’re watch dogs.

re: American Politics-- Ken Paxton
Very personally this sort of confirms my prior beliefs that dichotomous thinking continues to over inform people's behaviors far too much.
re: American Politics-- Ken Paxton
I think one of my nagging and unproven thoughts here is that if you honestly believe all government is corrupt or doesn't have value then you're going to be happy to excuse some very blatant abuses of power for your "side" though this is not based on any firm datapoints.
American Politics-- Ken Paxton

I'm not a Texan so I haven't commented on this story much but it is important to note how long this ongoing event has been. He was being investigated for some pretty blatant corruption before getting reelected for a third term.
I would claim I was surprised he was getting an impeachment considering the truncated and artificially short legislative period (and there is an entire derisive snort I'd have to that too) but that assumes he will feel consequences there.
To reiterate: the Attounrey General of Texas has been threatened with disbarment, he is under investigation by the federal Justice Department for potential bribe taking, he fired whistle blowers who then sued him and he demanded the Texas legislature apportion funds to pay the settlement and it isn't like voters weren't aware of this nonsense.

Me: I want a device that watches over me and the people I love while we sleep. It must be capable of such keen, decisive action that even absent actual flames it can rouse slumberers early enough to save their lives. It must last a decade and cost $30.
Smoke alarm manufacturer: we understand and accept the solemnity of this request, and we have built it.
Me: now I want something that will scream like a demon every time I boil water.
Smoke alarm manufacturer: you're not going to believe this

Do you think Guy stays in Flavor Town because he too lives in fear of what he's created?
Wanda Sykes quote
In case anyone was curious the Wanda Sykes quote: “Until a drag queen walks into a school and beats eight kids to death with a copy of To Kill A Mockingbird, I think you’re focusing on the wrong shit.”
Comes from her Netflix special "I’m An Entertainer"
