Titles elude me yet again...

1. Twitter

* People are weird on the bird app. I got unfollowed and kicked out by the Canadian woman that I met on Soap Twitter - and I really have no clue why. It could be anything really. If I were to hazard a guess - it's because...

Canadian Tweeter: Here's how you can decline your ballot in Canada. Americans don't get that we are completely different than you are.
Me: Yeah, you vote for different platforms right? While we're personalities and candidates.
Canadian Tweeter: No, we vote for candidates and personalities. We just have one race with five different candidates.
Me: Okay, I can't quite wrap my head around this. The US is the same - we have five parties believe it or not. And five candidates. So is it you don't like A&B or C&D and might as well decline?

She got pissed off, apparently, and unfollowed and blocked me. And I still have no clue how Ontario handles elections.( Read more... )

* Lesson: Soap Twitter doesn't like to be argued with. Also they only like people who have 1000 followers. No discussions on Soap Twitter. And there are a few divas, who are a touch cliquish, although I'm not sure if they view themselves in that regard. I wouldn't go so far to call them bullies. Just divas. (It is Soap Twitter - after all, I don't know what I expected.)
And boy do they like to whine, and want attention.

* Twitter went nuts over the leaked Roe vs. Wade news. Unsurprisingly nuts.

Liberal Poet: If you aren't livid you aren't paying attention.
Me: I've been too livid for 7 + years (2016-2022), I've had to back away for my continued mental and emotional health. Not to mention physical.

2. Speaking of..The Alito leak that Roe vs. Wade was being overturned and same-sex marriage was up next..

Well, the proverbial shit hit the fan this week with the Supreme Court leak - which basically made five of the Justices look like partisan liars, who would do anything for their agendas or others agendas. Don't give a fig about the law or anyone's rights but their own views. I don't know where the fall out will lead - right now, it's mainly protests.

( regarding Roe vs. Wade )

Twitter: Maybe now Constitutional Law Scholars will realize these Justice's just make shit up?
ME: They kind of always knew that?

3. The Batman

Neither Chidi nor Kidbro liked the movie all that much. Chidi appreciated the cinematography at least.

It surprised me - I went in with low expectations. Robert Pattinson was actually a lot better in the role than expected. He gets across reclusive rock star billionaire well. Also he looks like he stepped out of the comics or a graphic novel. The camera loves him. The man has sad eyes, and seems to get Batman on some level.

I liked the casting better than Chidi did. (Chidi saw it in the movie theater - I saw it on HBO MAX.) We both agreed it was too long. (Chidi's favorite Catwoman is...Michelle Pfieffer (I kid you not). I rather liked Zoe Kravitiz in the role - she fit the comics. Actually she's the closest to Selina Kyle in the comics.
( not really spoilery )

4. That's not What I Would Do ...

I hate that phrase. I thought I'd be up front about that. It irritates me. I've lost friends over that phrase..
