I'm not kidding. Chapter 14 of Project 2025 (see: "Agenda 47") is the part of their plan where they'd cut back medical services to the point where every poor sick & disabled person will, quite simply, not be able to afford to stay alive. This could be your grandmother, your uncle, your cousin. You.

Actually, the Republican platform leaves the door wide open for a national abortion ban and people are silly to suggest otherwise. Me in Slate:

Not over. As someone alive before Chevron precedent, before legal abortion, before many things being flipped back in time existed, I can say you can fight this war&win it. Again. &this time, people have sunk costs&reaped benefits where before it was theoretical. They will feel&resent the loss.

Every “person” you see in this is a job an actor didn’t get. Every “object” you see cost prop masters work. Every “set” you see is a place no crew was paid to work. The machine that made it was trained with stolen images. Fuck this video. Fuck the ghouls who made it. And fuck Toys-R-Us forever.

🎯 I'm pretty concerned these days as coming off too Old Man Yells At Cloud, but the way I see some Zoomers bristle or gasp at the use of real words in real life because they've been trained by social media to regard totally normal adult words as unspeakable irritates the fuck out of me.

Horror FRANCHISES you say? Resurfacing the same or similar premises and characters over time in multiple sequels and prequels? In the genre of HORROR??? I don't think either the industry or audiences would go for it. It would be totally counter to the whole history of the form.

And if it's showing in résumé sorting, then bet it's about break as having been happening in patient portals & police reports & lending application sorters & on & on & on
