    The show definitely doesn't give a lick about pacing or trying to build a mystery arc, and Inferno was kind of ridiculous because of it, but the show is intended to be an adaptation of a bunch of story lines that are well documented online, plus a continuation of a 25 year old show, plus a new jumping on point for people. I think it splits the difference on this pretty well, and it brings in the context of what racism and bigotry looks like now that we're out of the "end of history" and it turns out that maybe Magneto was right about a lot of stuff. It's more of a vibe show than a flawless depiction of events, and if it's not doing it for you, then it's not doing it for you.

    But without the CoPD, it's just an agreement between the two parties to have a one on one debate and they aren't obligated to have third parties at their event.

    Biden has to debate since he's the incumbent, debates are tradition, and if he dips out, press will raise hell. Trump has to debate because he can't blow off a debate with the incumbent, and he thinks he can pants Biden on stage. Both of them don't want to share a stage with RFK Jr, so it's in both of their interests for them to cooperate here rather than let it fall to the CoPD who may give RFK the time of day.

    Notable details:

    • These dates were agreed to without input from the Commission on Presidential Debates, which is usually in charge of such things.
    • Because the CoPD isn't involved, their requirements for third party candidates aren't necessarily in play.

    I think the first half of the season plays into the Nostalgia farming a bit, and contextualizes it in the trip to Mojoworld, but then the next episode is Genosha, and you realize this show has something to say about contemporary times.

    Yeah, I noticed that you started the show from the weekly thread and were really into it from episode three, and wanted so badly to say "Just you wait."

    Lifetime also has a secondary effect that anchors the annual subscription as the best value unless you intend to subscribe for more than 6-10 years. This works out good for them because annual gives them a more consistent budget and negates churn at the monthly level.

    Yes, it works in Safari, so it must be a Chrome specific thing.

    On iOS, when I share a link, the URL goes into the title box where it should probably go into the link box instead. Very very good job. Love the layout and share functionality otherwise.

    In the same vein though, there's probably something coming down the pipe for an AI therapist/confiding model that would be much more general audience. I'm not sure how one would qualify a chatbot for that level of social work but the market is there and it would seem to be where the wind is blowing in regards to capabilities vs demographic vs margin.
