Wasn’t this literally a New Girl episode? The election one where they go to that sorority house to register new voters as they think they’ll be Hillary supporters only to find that they’re all Trump supporters

Despite the cringey dialogue at the start of #LisaFrankenstein, it’s been surprisingly good The performances have been good, and the plot has exceeded my expectations. It’s not my favourite film but I can see why people liked it when it came out in cinemas.

This was my favourite point you made in your book - the issue of nostalgia (both on policy and on politics)

This is also the vibe that the trailer I saw on Reels this afternoon gave, so I was about to watch it soon

Sebastian Stan is talented & did the best he could with what he was given, but it still felt like a caricature instead of Trump himself, but maybe that was the point given that the film definitely has an opinion on Trump to avoid portraying him as a parody instead of seriously

International investors @ the UK:

How do you get this wrong?

Disappointing from them to say the least… 😰

Will make a prediction that this doesn't save any money but does increase mental health problems and anxiety.
