La La Land was a pretty good recent musical that won lots of awards. I'm not sure how popular it was. When I saw it in the theater, a lot of the audience seemed to be from an older generation

I don't think their intelligence would increase but their knowledge might.

In highschool, a friend and I once took the same chemistry test and each got 80%. We each got right the questions the other got wrong. So, if we had been allowed to work together, it's likely we would have gotten 100%. On the other hand, we might have convinced each other of the wrong answers and lowered our scores to 60%. The knowledge we had in common made up 60% of the test.

When two people share knowledge, they may increase each other's knowledge. The amount it increases depends on how much of the knowledge they already had in common and how much they each have that the other doesn't.

Unfortunately, the majority of congress don't want to. Which is why we hope new members of congress are elected in November that do want to. But I'm bracing for it all to go to hell

All languages choose words based on what sounds nice. Or sometimes we make up words that sound bad if we're trying to convey something is bad.

Yeah, it seems like it may have been a way to resolve the love triangle. Of course, Harrison Ford almost didn't come back for Return of the Jedi. I wonder if Luke and Leia would have ended up together in that scenario.

I'm currently rewatching Once Upon A Time. This is a big spoiler for season five, episode 7. Merlin claims the first dark one killed his true love and then we find out that the first dark one was his true love and he was speaking metaphorically just like Obi-Wan about Vader and Anakin. This wasn't a later retcon either cause it's in the same episode. It was the writers deliberately misleading us for a surprise. I think they got the idea from Star Wars. The show references Star Wars a lot

He didn't plan Luke and Leia being siblings. Unless he was into incest. There are cut scenes in Empire Strikes Back that show them being romantic with each other. They kiss in the final cut of the film too, but she was just trying to make Han jealous

On the off chance some freak accident wipes out Charles' bloodline and Andrew actually becomes king, parliament will just pressure him to abdicate to the next person in line

There are literal corrupt police in the Untied States but in the context of my rant, I was using police as a metaphor for the people who should be holding Trump accountable but are failing to act. Ie. Congress, judges, prosecutors

That cats sense something we can't. Think of it this way, if we didn't have ears, we wouldn't know there's such thing as sound. Maybe there is some sort of thing that exists that humans lack the organs to percieve but cats can

That nobody actually thought kids hiding under the desks would protect them from bombs. It was all a lie to try and reassure people

Ever see The Good Place?

That the Democrat party is complicit in the fascist takeover

Next they'll declare pi equals 3

I don't recognize eggs or cilantro as food

"If you don't like the weather in [insert location] wait five minutes"

I used to naively believe this was actually unique to Newfoundland. Recently learned that it's a saying everywhere and everyone acts like it's unique to where they live

"Thanks to tariffs, everyone can afford groceries and houses again"- something Trump will probably say tonight

So he's blatantly defying the Supreme Court? Shouldn't there be some kind of protocol for when that happens? If I disobeyed a judge, there is a protocol in place to deal with that.

Trump is the best thing to happen to America's global reputation. At least that's what he's gonna say in his speech tonight

Put the Untied States on economic time out until it behaves
