They had to put it in the render queue, behind Lion King 7, Toy Story 15 and Ice Age 9. But don't worry, bad things come to those who wait!

In 2024, the way to drive media coverage is strategic trolling.

The misogyny is off-the-wall... How dare a woman express enthusiasm, a woman of colour no less? Behind the word overcaffeinated lurks the word hysterical, long the preferred male put-down for women. But don't blame the author alone, the editor should know better.

My 2¢: Voting for the lesser evil is defeatist, but vote to fight another day. Spoiling your ballot will literally sell Palestine, Ukraine and the entire federal administrative state down the river in exchange for new gold faucets at Mar-a-lago. The stakes for the whole world could not be greater.
