    New Rule: Running Scared | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO):
    Memo to Democrats: Voters can smell fear a swing state

    https://youtu.be/SdDCyLGDgPc?si=PpigEq8Pn9xZ5GJx

    Have you heard of "Dark Woke"? I just heard about it yesterday.
    Apparently they want to appear stronger and more forceful, as part of
    trying to win men back.

    Oh, I've know about it for quite awhile. It was pretty sad, actually.

    I also watched more Star Trek: Lower Decks.

    S4.E6 ? Parth Ferengi's Heart Place: It's the gang's actual job to >investigate the bars and restaurants of the Ferengi homeworld. Two of
    them must pose as newlyweds.

    S4.E7 ? A Few Badgeys More: Agimus, Badgey, and Peanut Hamper all
    return.

    S4.E8 ? Caves: The gang retell stories of adventures they had
    separately, then bond.

    S4.E9 ? The Inner Fight: Captain Freeman wants to send LJG Mariner on a
    very safe mission.

    Where are you watching this?

    I just looked at a little, and what I saw was surprisingly regressive.
    E.g., a woman points out that a trans woman doesn't pass, and they
    respond by making fun of her looks... allegedly to teach her a lesson
    about her own bogus beauty standards, but really to tear her down and
    shut her up.

    Paramount Plus. I think they're also on YouTube, but you might have to
    pay.

    I am completely addicted to that show. :D I'm going to have to find a
    fandom when I catch up, which will be today.

    the path to victory, but it is "cringe".

    snip

    The Pickup (Prime) - Generally satisfactory action comedy crime caper starring Eddie Murphy(!), Pete Davidson, and Keke Palmer. I would say
    the one part about this flick that I didn't like was Eva Longoria as Murphy's in-movie wife... But otherwise this was enjoyable, including
    Andrew Dice Clay as the asshole boss of the armored car company.
    ˙˙ Quick gist: Two armored car guards (Murphy and Davidson) get
    targeted for a heist and have to fight their way out of it.
    ˙˙ This wasn't deep, but it was mostly enjoyable. Not sure I cared for
    the ending, though.



    I forgot about this. I need to move it back to the top of my watch list.

    Sorry, saw Arthur's reply in the thread and didn't realize it was an
    older thread. I have a lot going on lately and some big things on the
    horizon that are distracting me.
