Based on the interview, it’s easier for me to believe the first option.

I think someone showed him the annotated picture and that person never believed he’d think the ms13 was literally part of the tattoo. Once he asserted it, who in his camp is going to tell him he’s wrong?

It probably did, but not before it got a couple sequels*. The other YA adaptations were just that bad.

*Their ambitious part one of the final movie was a terrible decision though.

Probably the 2nd best YA fantasy movie adapted from a book in its era. I’ll never not be disappointed by The Giver, but I think they had a hard task to accomplish. É

This is an aerial view of Barbara Streisand’s Malibu home. The other dude seems to be referencing the Streisand effect.

I’m sure you can find articles that were very opposed to him because there’s lots of authors at NYT, but this one i found definitely does not read that negatively about Luigi.

When did he defend Nazis?

Not just “see her as.” I’ve never heard of a transwoman giving birth. I’m a huge fan of niche edge cases though and I’ve heard of one accidental finding of an XY, assigned female at birth person giving natural birth. This case was mentioned in research that was studying a family that had women that were experiencing hirsutism.

LGBT people are something like 10-20% of the population.

It appears to be 5.5% of the population.

The reason studios put LGBT content in movies and games is that a lot of people in the real world, aka their customers, are LGBT.

If their population were small, disproportionate representation can still have a positive impact for awareness. That being said, I think a big reason for the representation is the percentage of people in the arts that is LGBT is greater than the general population. It would be tough making content and looking in the eyes of so many creatives while not including characters like them in stories.

Side note:

Maybe it’s not too realistic to have a bunch of out queer characters in a drama set in Elizabethan England.

All the recent period pieces I’ve seen have LGBT characters. I’m going to use this as a moment to advertise My Lady Jane. It’s not an entirely accurate depiction of the story of Lady Jane Grey (for obvious reasons), but it was an entertaining show.

Why Tesla? Why in front of Trump’s building?

He’s a giant fan of both so I don’t have a good, rational reason.

Why after he won?

This is the only one I feel like I have part of the answer to. He and his wife had a fight the day after Christmas about his infidelity. It looks like he decided to off himself and would have done the same thing had Biden won.

That might be your read, but it’s not correct. This guy does not rationalize things the same way you would. Here are all the parts of his statement that should convince you.

#1

Try peaceful means first, but be prepared to fight to get the Dems out of the fed government and military by any means necessary.

#2

Stop obsessing over diversity. We are all diverse and DEI is a cancer. Thankfully we rejected the DEI candidate and will have a real President instead of Weekend at Bernie’s.

#3

Rally around the Trump, Musk, Kennedy, and ride this wave to the highest hegemony for all Americans
