so the fact remains that jeff goldblum played the grandmaster with absolute peak perfection and absolutely no other mcu performance can top that, which is just a fact, but it means thatĀ either jeff goldblum has this fantastically nuanced understanding of this character who is incredibly ancient and powerful but still ultimately a silly hedonist OR he just rolled up to thor ragnarok likeĀ āiām jeff goldblum and iām gonna be playing jeff goldblumā and fuckin nailed it
the fact that they actually wrote the role for him makes it even better because that means the execs were like āwho should play one of the most powerful characters weāve ever had, the ruler of an entire planet, who is more ancient and knowledgable than a literal god, and decides the lives and deaths of countless individualsā and the conclusion they came to was ājeff goldblum in a sparkly gold bathrobeāĀ
file this under āmen failing painfully at writing female perspectiveā
im gonna be honest i know this isĀ āmen being terrible at writing the female perspectiveā but i am so amused by the mental image of this guy just BANGING AROUND the kitchen holding his wine aloft so the FUCKING FLAMES OUT OF HIS FRYING PAN dont catch the wine on fire, and this woman just staring at him in horrified fascination from the doorway to the dining room.Ā
he smiles at her.Ā ādinner will be ready in just a moment, honeyāĀ
she does not respond. the contents of another pot catch on fire. the stove is being fed by cookbooks. whats happening? she doesnt know.Ā
Somewhere, Gordon Ramsay is crying at this description of cooking.
Republicans: Felons should NEVER regain the right to vote. Got a felonyĀ for pot possession when you were 21? Fuck off. If you canāt follow the law, you donāt get to vote on the law.Ā
Also Republicans: I mean, even if Kavanaugh IS an attempted rapist who drank underage in high school, whatever. Itās not disqualifying even if its true. I still think he should serve a LIFETIME POSITION ON THE SUPREME COURT.Ā
Not only that, but he perjured himself 3 separate times in front of the Senate, first during his confirmation when Bush nominated him to the DC court, again during his SCOTUS hearing, and then again this past week.
Perjury is, wait for it, a felony.
hold on a second, why does this say āREGAIN right to voteā? Are prisoners in USA not allowed to vote???
Yeah in a lot of places in the USA any felony charge loses you the right to vote. Itās called felony disenfranchisement
⦠Wouldnāt that allow government to strip opposition activists of political rights by arresting them on manufactured charges? That sounds EXTREMELY undemocratic and easily exploitable.
You are correct.
@genquerdeer yeah and that is basically what happens. Not only that but we have a much higher conviction rate for black people than white people which means most of the people losing their right to vote are black. And black people generally tend to vote more Democratic than Republican.
And thatās not even touching issues of gerrymandering, voter ID laws, and all the other ways people of color as a whole are being disenfranchised as voters or prevented from voting.
And voting day isnāt a holiday so many people are forced to work for most of that day.
And there are accessibility issues even with early voting being an option.
There are a LOT of problems with the way the US works. And the best (*cough* worst *cough*) part is many Americans either donāt know about these things or are taught to think they are justified and logical (hence the OP).
